[OPEN] Covered-dish Dinner

[Celticflower]

****unloading a large hamper****

Thought it was time for some real food. Here's baked ravioli and meatballs, green beans and garlic bread. And it you want something sweet--apple pie and ice cream (but you have to eat your veggies first!)

So, what has everyone been up to? Any plans for Valentine's Day?

Hello

Im Nichola and im from Scotland..well originally from Northern ireland but i came over to scotland for university and i have just stayed here as i got a job. I grew up in a non religious house with the exception of my granny who used to take me to Church with her till i was about 11. I have only be going back to the Church and growing with my love for God from July 2004..my Minister back in Ireland has helped me along this stage of my life which i have really appreciated.

Anyway enough about me, how is everyone else doing on this lovely Friday afternoon? or morning or evening wherever you are!!!

Welcome Nichola! Pull up a plate and dig in!

On this cloudy, cold Friday in Tennessee I am trying hard to keep the fire going, rejoicing that my son's basketball game was cancelled(no going out in the cold tonight!) and waiting for my daughter to come home from school so I can listen to her practice her flute. Her school band is doing highlights for "the Lord of the Rings" movies in an upcoming concert. The music is a bit difficult, but it is such a joy to hear her go from a few tentative notes one day to being able to play a whole section.

Thank you Celtie

You must be pleased that your son's basketball game has been cancelled...lol the poor wee thing will be upset!! You must have one talented daughter to be able to play music like that. I loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy it was such a good film!!

Hello. Wandering around aimlessly doing an Arthur Dent (looking for tea, you have to have read the book), when I suddenly thought that if there was onr place in CF a fella could get a decent cuppa, it would be with the Methodists.

 

[Celticflower]

Welcome Andy--
Tea is on the sideboard next to the coffee and milk. There should be some cookies there too, unless my husband snuck in and ate them all.

*Drinks tea* Ahh, that was lovely. As they say in Ireland 'May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead'.

A little something to say thank you.


God Bless

Hi - just passing. Hows it going guys and gals? I have a thought to share with you.

Before you critisize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. then when you critisize them you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Gotta run. God Bless

*Andy enters just as Celtie finishes the housework and makes the the tea. Timing like that takes years to get right *


Did I hear the word tea mentioned?

Bored Cletie? Me too. 25 mins into 8hr night shift.
Is it me, or has CF got very quiet lately?

 

[Celticflower]

I think you"re right Andy--things have been quiet lately. Oh well, at least we are here.

How's the tea?

Celtie

 

[Andy Broadley]

Tea went down very well thanks. Just boiling kettle to make more. Need lots of tea when on nights. Well, Tootle Pip, and I'll look in later.

[Andy Broadley]

You'll like it here, Try some tea (it's good). Chicken and buscuits? And you reckon us brits are strange.

*sips some tea* Looks like a lovely dinner about here. May I offer some vegemite toast?

 

[Andy Broadley]

Yuk!! This is what you want. Far superior

 

[Celticflower]

Think I will stick to the blueberry preserves on my toast thank you.

Redneckanglican--everyone is welcome here! The kettle is always on and we try to have food of some sort.
