Come, Little Leaves
by George Cooper
"Come, little leaves," said the wind one day.
"Come over the meadows with me and play;
Put on your dresses of red and gold,
For summer is gone and the days grow cold
Soon as the leaves heard the wind's loud call,
Down they came fluttering, one and all;

Christmas shopping, anyone? by
Polly Esther[_5_]
I can get this on topic but I'm going to wander off since it's astounding
and delightful the hefty range of knowledge here.
If you want to save postage and give yourself some nice fabric, Arizona
Quilts is holding the Polly Esther 2011 record for stuffing the most in a
'if it fits, it ships'...

OT I need a deployed by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Our own near and dear in the military are all back in the states this
Christmas season. Praise God. I want someone to send pralines to overseas
and it's getting to be time to cook and get them shipped. Do any of you
have a deployed kin that would enjoy (and maybe even share) candy from...

OT Gingerbread by
NightMist
OK, I find I have more "standard" gingerbread recipes than I thought.
It depends on what I have to work with. I suppose I never thought about
it, however it seems my household has been paying a LOT more attention to
the matter than I ever imagined! I scrounged up my notebooks to dig out

OT Wonderful news by

My DH has a 2nd surgery this past Tuesday to remove a cancer growth from his
leg. Our doctor called at 8:00 last night to let us know he had gotten the

"traditional" Thanksgiving dinner by
Susan Laity Price
Several years ago we were hosts to a visiting Chinese student during
Thanksgiving. She was familiar with the first Thanksgiving in the
colonies. As we were passing food around the Thanksgiving table I
explained the symbolism of each dish until I got to the Green Bean
Casserole. How does one explain...

The Lost is Found by
Donna[_7_]
I found the name tags while looking for something else. I very
carefully put them away in one of the drawers in my set of plastic
drawers. Now why I put them there and thought they would be easily
found I have no idea. There is nothing in that drawer remotely
connected to Project Linus or name...

Intro by
Rose in CA[_3_]
Hi y'all. I'm back in the fold again after several years away. It is
so cozy and wonderful to see so many of the "old" gang here. Way back
at the beginning of time I posted as "Anne in CA". After a "rough
patch" that included divorce and many new beginnings, I posted again
as "Rose in CA". I went...

OT Pastry Wars by
NightMist
I have seen more of my relatives recently than I have in the last thirty
years. After they get past the "My you are looking well!" or, "I thought
you were sick!" stage, they have tended to fall back on "What are you
doing for the holidays?" This usually comes around to cooking as a safe
topic...

I got an e-mail from Pati today. She said that she had been through
a rough patch but is now doing better. She said she is working on the
quilts again, too. I told her that if it would make life easier for
