A Christmas Message: Paper or Plastic
0
This Christmas I have a blog. I’ve never had a blog on Christmas before, so I think I’ll include a Christmas message. I’ve never been much for wrapping gifts. It takes so much time to do it right and make it look just so. Then what happens? It gets ripped to shreds, because it’s whats inside that is the real value. Not the 45 minutes of precise folding and double stick tape. Destruction and a fateful trip to the dump… that or grandma saves it for later? Right, because she’s going to use it again and it was so pretty. No… wrapping, though thoughtfully appreciated - admired as an art form in itself, nigh unto origami - is just not worth my time.

Thursday Adventures Close to Home

My mornings all seem to be about the same thing: me getting up and eating. I do stay up a bit later than most of the family, especially the grandkids, and well they are the first ones up, so by the time I get down stairs there has usually been a fair amount of activity. This morning’s activity was fixing “Hootnanny Pancakes”. Hootnannies are just a real eggy German Pancake. We’ve had em around the Burbidge house for years. Needless to say they didn’t last long.
The sun was shinning and Dennis and Rosie took Cameron for a walk. The rest of the four of us decided to go for a boat ride around the island. We checked the nautical chart for any sleeper reefs and then headed out. On our way around we saw Biscoe Beach, and guess who was skipping stones? Sure enough, Dennis and Rosie with Cameron. We stopped and waved, and then headed along the way. We also found a house that needed some concrete work too, but after viewing the site we decided to pass on the job. We finished the circumnavigation, and Rosie and Dennis were already back from the beach.
After our respective tours we had some lunch. I took Dennis over to the dock so that he could head over the Cordova Bay Golf Course. He went with a grocery list and a return pickup time. When I returned from dropping of Chichi McBurbidge, the rest of us decided to test out the crab pots and see if there were any pinchers in the big blue. We found some fish parts in the freezer, fixed up the traps, and dropped them off the end of the pier. We came back in and waited for an hour, then went back out and pulled up the pots. There are crabs after all. Read More
