It's a lovely picture, yes. We should also take Perrault's idea about skinning the cat with a grain of salt. After all, he presented the idea of serving 'The Sleeping Beauty' in sauce Robert ...

His initial idea was to make a pair of gloves.

I believe it was a custom.

No, no such examples.

The blood drive is a respected volunteer activity of the American Red Cross. The Church lets the ARC manage free, volunteer blood-giving (for subsequent dispersal to blood-needy burn, cancer, chronic-disease, surgery, trauma patients).

The blood drive operates during the day even as the fund-raising Friday fish fry operates Friday evening around dinner time.

Would there be a particular fish species for east-pond fish fries?

Here it would be catfish with bread, dessert, fruit, vegetable sides.

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

The Scandinavian heritage appears to continue in Orkney and Shetland and perhaps in Man.

Yes, it appeals to me to avail myself of Genius loci, which I have not read or seen anywhere thus far.

We distinguish between natural events, which can be harmful but are part of nature, like a volcano, and moral evil, which arises from human vice.

Thanks.

The Arabs were the inheritors of Grèk culture, so they came upon Aristotle in documents taken during the Arab conquests. His realism made sense to them, and they were not as smitten with the more mystical philosophy of Plato popular in Christendom at the time.

The Orkney law on the issue of land ownership derives from ancient Norse law, but the seas around the land are not privately owned.

Be Thou my vision does fit with night-time prayer, especially with the line "both waking and sleeping, Thy presence my light."

But I give myself permission for important day prayers because of the preceding line "be Thou my best thought in the day and the night."

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question and in correction of my misdescription.

Yes, I agree that "excessively, extremely humid, muggy" weather cannot be evil even as it continues God's creation and creates life-friendly moisture (and pretty complexions ;-D).

Best wishes -- with Nathan Pacheco's voice so strong, in Be Thou my vision, that it achieves ;-D sound waves all the way to you and Maureen and your family and to Veronica and her husband and their family -- with physiotherapy!
