Friday Again

Mommy's Idea 

Friday Fragments is a great idea to journal the bits and pieces from the week.


### On Saturday we  picked our first two cobs of sweet corn and ate them raw right there, absolutely delicious.

### Sunday was Remembrance Day and I walked down town for the wreath-laying ceremony. It was awesome to see so many showing respect in suits with their medals, and especially the school children smart in their uniforms as they also went through the formalities and laid their wreaths.

### Monday we went to Glynnis' place to play a few songs with her as usual. Glynnis has two mandolins, which she plays by ear, Barry sings, so we don't lose our place, and plays guitar and mandolin, and I play ukulele.  Glynnis has sent for a Medieval song book and CD by Allan Alexander, so I daresay we will be playing those soon.

### Tuesday, concert at Coraki, and as usual I had forgotten my camera and I took a photo of their dog with my camera, my first photo with the camera,  story in previous post, along with my struggle to access the photo.  Eventually I had another look at the instructions and downloaded PC Suite..... and got the photo onto the laptop, but not before all the photos on the laptop started to upload to a file for the camera, which I hastily stopped, and eventually opened a field to just download from the camera to the laptop.

### Wednesday the last bible study for the year and we went to the Golf Club for lunch to round off the year.

### Thursday another concert and we had some good chats with a few people including the Activities Officer.

### Today Friday was so hot, the hottest in the state at 37C, though not the hottest on record here which was 42.2C in 1995.

Also been having a bit of trouble with the computer very slow and sometimes no service, haven't been on as much as I would have liked.

See you at Mrs4444

Take care and have a lovely weekend!
Hugs and Blessings.

I would never think to eat uncooked corn! I like the sound of your Bible study group finishing out the season with lunch and a round of golf, sounds great to me!

My mama loved uncooked corn that she liked on harvesting days, too. The mandolin is a gift from God. Many years ago I had a friend who played the mandolin. Lovely sound.

Celsius......we use Fahrenheit here. Our most recent hottest was something like 110F. It was super hot here this summer. But of course now it's getting cold and last night it was something like 34 Fahrenheit. Brrrrr.

Corn fresh off the stalk. Yummy.

Sweet corn is out of season in Pennsylvania, USA. In fact, most of everything is out of season right now. I love garden fresh food.
