Re: What Made Today Good
Hi Olivia: Re: Your last two posts... (1) The Presley/Cash/Perkins/Lewis reminded me of a John Denver TV special I saw years ago.. His back-up group: Johnny Cash on guitar, Roger Miller on fiddle, and Glen Campbell on banjo. He called it the "Six Million Dollar Band." 
(2) After viewing the snail photos, I can hardly think kindly of the French again... They EAT these lovely little creatures. 
What made today good for me? Went to my dermatologist for a one-year checkup after he removed a skin cancer from my ear. He said all looked well, and he would see me in a year.

Re: What Made Today Good
Cattleman I think I saw that John Denver special. They replayed on PBS not too many years ago.
I never thought of the french eating the snails! That makes me sad. I think those pictures are so magical. It gave me a new appreciation for these creatures.
So happy the dermatologist gave you the all clear!

Re: What Made Today Good
@cattleman: Congratulations!!
@Olivia: I love the pictures. The snail is so beautiful! Was wondering for a short moment if this is a model snail. *thinking aloud* are there snail castings? Is there an ANTS (American's Next Top(model) Snail?
(goofy day today...)

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?
Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?
Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

Re: What Made Today Good
Hey, speaking of snails (what amazing photos those are), a friend lent me a small book called The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating, by Elisabeth Tova Bailey. It's a unique story of love: a bedridden woman's relationship with a wild snail that lives in a terrarium by her bedside. Go to the website and hear the sound of the snail as it eats.

Re: What Made Today Good
It snowed here in Berryville, VA. I don't mind this extended winter because I love to see weather. I was listening to some Jean Sibelius music as the snow came down. I'm not acquainted with all that much classical music, but I do like the symphonies and other pieces of the Finnish composer. If you like classical music of the Romantic strain, you might like it, too. My favorite is probably No. 2, the Alpine Symphony, inspired of course by the mountains. I have sort-of mountains I can see out my front window.

Re: What Made Today Good
8:46pm - Don't you mean snowing? As in it is still snowing on my side of the mountain and I would think that it is still snowing on your side. And the forecast is for it to keep right on snowing until tomorrow sometime.DWill wrote:It snowed here in Berryville, VA. I don't mind this extended winter because I love to see weather.

Re: What Made Today Good
This is tentative but I think I finished my wedding planning!!!! Yay!!!!
This next bit isn't so much good as it is funny. I don't know if my aunt just got her invitation or if she just looked at it for the first time but she called me today all surprised and disapproving of something we put on the invite. We said that the dress was casual and that people could wear jeans and t shirts if they want. I still have no idea why it bothered her but I know it ticked her off even more when I laughed about it.
