Alternative Meals


Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and in some homes that means more than just the traditional items we all love. Every family has it’s members, usually the younger ones, who refuse to eat what everyone else is eating. They may eat anything and everything all year round, but soon as there is a family gathering, they only like dinner rolls, peanut butter and jelly and chicken nuggets. These were the alternative meal items available at our grandmothers house if you did not want what everyone else was having. You were also welcome to a cheese sandwich, but it was not going to be grilled.

Dearly Beloved


Not all October weddings are meant to be spooktacular, even if they are in Salem. There was something about the inside of the new Salem’s Church by DRD at ACCESS that wanted to host a small country harvest wedding. Nothing elaborate or over the top, just some sunflowers from The Home Store and fallen leaves. The minister is from Salmagundi, though his day job is as a waiter, he still has the right clothes for the job !

The Stairway Hall


Growing up, the bottom of the stairs was always the first place to look for lost items. Missing shoes, school books, backpacks, umbrellas. The top of the stairs was for dirty dishes and laundry. I am not sure what it is about stairs that makes it nearly impossible to want to carry things up or down them.

Broadchurch Binge


We have just recently finished binge watching 3 seasons of the UK Broadchurch with Troy. As with so many of the shows we have enjoyed watching, this was no exception. Crime dramas are some of our most favorites, and we have now moved on to another UK one called Unforgotten. We only watch shows together with Troy, but we very much enjoy listening to audio books on our own, and funnily enough we are nearly done with a UK crime drama series by Joy Ellis, the Jackman and Evans series. If you are in need of a comfy place to snuggle and watch or listen to some of your own favorites, the Urban Farmer set at InsurreKtion is a fantastic place to do it.

Stockings Were Hung


‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
