STRETCHING THE SEASON...

As we begin the Christmas season let's begin by giving ourselves two gifts. We can continue our tradition of gratitude on Thanksgiving Day by beginning a Gratitude Journal. Reminding ourselves throughout the year of all our many gifts and blessings will help keep us healthy and happy. Our second gift is to create a plan that provides us with multiple opportunities to make giving a year round activity. May I make a suggestion? To help feed homeless animals go to: http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/ and at no cost to you provide six bowls of food for a needy animal. Let us know about your favorite way to give and we will help!

Thanks Tom for the heads up about this site.

A BIT OF HISTORY ON THIS HOLIDAY...

Mary Chilton Winslow was 12 years old and on her way to the New World...America. Legend has it that she raced John Alden to the front of the launch that was bringing the Mayflower passengers ashore. She won! and thus became the first woman to set foot on Plymouth Rock. Does that mean that she was also the first person?...history is not clear on this ... strongly suggesting to me that perhaps it was a woman who first set foot in the New World...Perhaps herstory would be different than history!

OVERCOOKED OR JUST RIGHT?...

ANYONE FOR TURKEY? ENJOY!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2008

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes
It gives the bright leaves wings
When autumn wind goes running

It curls the bonfire's tail of smoke
And shares a little whispered joke
With cornstalks who delight to prattle
It turns a seed pod into a rattle
When autumn wind goes running

Thanks Coleman for sharing this with me!

A BIT OF HERSTORY...

During the 1500-1600's, 100,000 Europeans lost their lives from being found guilty of witchcraft. 19 people died in Salem Village, Mass. in the 1690's for the same charges. Bridget Bishop was the first woman in Salem to be put to death for witchcraft...she was the owner of two successful Taverns in Salem, she dressed a bit too flashy for some folks, spoke her mind too openly, and took orders from no one...never performed any magic, didn't even own a cat...but deemed a witch, she was. She proclaimed her innocence till death: "I am no witch, I am innocent, I know nothing of it." 8 days after her trial began she was found guilty and was hanged...18 more would die before the towns people finally came to their senses,

hysteria lost its fervor, ending the witch hunts and killings...not one of the prouder moments in our his/herstory!

SHAKESPEAR ANYONE?...

Round about the cauldron go; In the poison’d entrails throw. Toad, that under cold stone Days and nights hast thirty one Swelter’d venom sleeping got, Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron

bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf, Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark, Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark, Liver of blaspheming Jew, Gall of goat, and slips of yew Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse, Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips, Finger of birth-strangled babe Ditch-deliver’d by a drab, Make the gruel thick and slab: Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron, For the ingredients of our cauldron.
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
~ Shakespear
Macbeth

TENNESSEE'S FAMOUS WITCH...

and it isn't me!! The Bell Witch, the spirit of Kate Batts believing that she had been cheated in a land deal by John Bell, vowed on her death bed to haunt Mr. Bell and his family. That she did, some blame her for the death of John Bell. She also tormented his favorite daughter, Betsy, but oddly, left the rest of the family alone...many say she continues to visit her home frequently...candlelight in the windows is a sure sign that the Bell Witch is out and about...

JACK'S HERE...

Dressed cleverly as a witch, thinking only witches are allowed, looks as if he may add an interesting twist to the "gathering"...
