I love those kids and I really need to get going on working on my cooking. Hubby is making gumbo today. I think it is for the Christmas gumbos he gives away to a few friends, but also to us. It takes all day and he is looking tired. I will go and wash dishes now, because that is something I can do. I hope you will feel better soon. It sounds like you have so much support and help, which is great. Take care.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-40381502827529928382014-11-25T13:59:47.756-08:002014-11-25T13:59:47.756-08:00Hi Wendy: Good to hear from you.

When I was a student teacher at Winchester and we American students were there for our Thanksgiving, King Alfred's College gave us a Thanksgiving dinner completer with Turkey but bread gravy instead. We felt so honored since it was the Pilgrims celebration of their departure for the New World from England. loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-47093499289676538062014-11-25T02:31:18.191-08:002014-11-25T02:31:18.191-08:00Hi Tasha - so pleased all is fixed and you're ...Hi Tasha - so pleased all is fixed and you're on the road to recovery .. I knew about the colloidal silver - extraordinary what the Romans knew or acquired from the Greeks or earlier ... <br /><br />Good to see everyone toddled around and helped .. bringing you sustenance and company .. and then Thanksgiving .. sounds as though it will be fun ... and to know you'll be up and running by Christmas ... near enough!<br /><br />So happy for you .. I'd wondered what was happening ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-58458629263441795352014-11-24T22:09:59.213-08:002014-11-24T22:09:59.213-08:00Hi Natasha.

Our family has been on the receiving end of such kindness in the past.<br />By the way; I'm not certain but I think that Thanksgiving is strictly USA and not celebrated all over the world. We have our turkey at Christmas!<br />Listening to: Loudon Wainwright <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCEHaB5yOW4" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a><br /><b><a href="http://todiscoverice.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> CLICK HERE for Bazza’s fabulous Blog ‘To Discover Ice’</a></b><br />bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-70688100018906308052014-11-24T19:20:07.513-08:002014-11-24T19:20:07.513-08:00That's interesting.

And every year there is something new and improved. One thing that was interesting to me was a strip of colloidal silver tape which was used to to cover the incision which apparently kills bacteria. Colloidal silver was what the Romans used for their wounds in battle, I found out.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-88608147695457779942014-11-24T18:30:05.105-08:002014-11-24T18:30:05.105-08:00Replacements are not fun.
