Els,

In 1980 I went to The Netherlands as part of a People-to-People
International group. I was a junior in high school. We had homestays with
families for about 5 days and then spent some time in Amsterdam before going
on. The family I stayed with raised tulip bulbs. It is a beautiful
country. I learned to ride "side saddle" on the back of a bicycle!

Now I had one of those patterns, and I use to put it up every year, until H
told me that according to the bible, we are not supposed to be put up things
like that. So got rid of the Nativity scene, but believe that I still have
the pattern around, just have to go looking for it.

I don't remember anything in the Bible that says anything like that.

As for where "the Levant" is, Did you know that the term "Near East"
used to include the Balkans and Greece?? (Terminology of the UK's

Bonnie, my grandson went on a People-to-People trip last year during the
summer. They visited England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. He said the
homestays were the best part. It's a great program.

That may be it, I had to get rid of a couple old pictures, that had some
saint in it, with lots of feathers around the person. I had it hung in our
bedroom, and boy did he get mad at that, and I asked him, do you see me
kneeling down to that picture to pray to it, and he knows where I do most my
praying, in the library. So to keep the sanity in this marriage, I got rid
of them, to show him how I am with things like that.
But I found a few good things, like not drinking to get drunk, he tells me
that he knew that was in there, but believes that he didn't get drunk, well
I showed him, got him on video tape to prove he was wrong, so now he don't
tell me things that I have to do, because it tells him so in the bible. I
know how to read, and comprehend what I read, and know just push things
right back at him of what he does or doesn't do.

Some people think it comes under the prohibition against worshipping
idols. I don't think it does since I don't worship nativity scenes. In
fact, I could use a new one since the cats broke one of the statues from
my old one, but I'm waiting until I see something I really love.

I live in Toronto, Canada and have done so for the past,
oh, 40-odd years. I'm in the opposite end of the city from
Darlene and we have met a couple of times.

de-stashing. Three years ago I moved into a house with
my brother and SIL and found I had a lot less space. After
a bit, the shear volume of yarn and fabric was driving me
crazy and I was lucky enough that Darlene came to the
rescue. She took bags of stuff from me, donated it around
and took what she did not want to Goodwill. I don't have a
car so she came over. I was so greatful. I still have a
lot of stuff but I just gained a new room in the house in
the attic - well, soon, and I am going to turn it into a
sewing, knitting machine, yarn, fabric room. I am so
looking forward to that because I find it so difficult to
work when I can't find my yarn and I can't find a flat
surface anyway to lay stuff out.
