The shroud of Turin is a possibility for an artefact that was in the tomb. There is also the towel that Veronica used to wipe Jesus' face, which was believed to have been preserved and is kept at the Vatican, I believe.

In the scenario of President Washington and Peter Francisco meeting, might the former make sure of heels with height and the latter of flat soles?

That might mean more comfort than the former arrow-straight and the latter slouching!

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Mary Magdalene brought some things to the tomb even as Jesus Christ left some things there. Is there any tradition about what happened to such relics?

The product line images the "ugly, cheesy and tacky" sweaters with non-competitive, non-descriptive black slacks or blue jeans.

Is the standard supposed to be non-competitive, non-descriptive caps and hats and shoes and socks also?

I know you use garden for our yard, but did not realize your yard meant a paved surface. I thought it was odd you used "yard" but now I know. I see container gardening as much more manageable. Have fun and happy growing!

President Washington had a mature height of 6 feet 2 inches (1.879 meters). That's 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) less than the 6-foot-6-inch (1.98-meter) Peter Francisco.

Might the Hercules of the American Revolution have slouched a bit for a height the same as, or a bit less than, his Commanding Officer or might that not have mattered between two heroes who respected one another?

We in Britain use the word yard to identify a paved space. Garden is for a soil surface. I know that this is not the American usage. We are developing a container garden.

Frank, in my small yard I plant both in the ground and in containers. I have no grandkids, but if I did, I'd be teaching them to grow food and flowers!

Maureen and I have recently reappraised our gardening activity. As we have a yard rather than a garden, we have realized that pots are quite desirable growing containers. A child can be trusted to safely handle a plastic container.

Yes, you have a valid, credible and interesting opinion on this matter. Mary Magdalene as the first Christian pilgrim. This is believable.

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Might we consider Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb the first Christian pilgrimage?

Peter Francisco had a height 2 inches (10.16 centimeters) taller than tall U.S. President George Washington!

Mightn't it be interesting if contemporary and family-history accounts mention the Francisco height for his ancestors and descendants?

That sci-fi sound that the theremin inspires through the Star Trek theme song is likeable!

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Where might you have heard theremin music?, mentions that "But, when it is played as a pleasant harmonious sequence of tones it is beautiful."

What would be a widely-known wonderful-, wondrous-sounding theremin example?

Mushroom growing is simple. The only mushroom that gave me difficulty was shiitake, but that was because I lacked a suitable warm spot on my property. Other mushrooms are no problem. I once taught boys in a school for mentally handicapped children how to grow oyster mushrooms. They were a great success. Sadly, I could not persuade the girls to take an interest, but they preferred the hairdressing course.

I'm sorry to hear that, but the fact that you can still keep your hands in gardening in a few ways is nice. Have you enjoyed growing mushrooms? I always wondered how tough that would be.
