This busy week is almost at an end. Tonight Bobbie and I started pistol league and lo and behold my first three league targets were pretty good. I got a 66, 62 and 57. Last year I was running down in the 30s and 40s so I feel pretty good about now. If I could find someone to join Rosalie and me, we could shoot the fall trap league too. Doesn't look to promising.

Tomorrow I will be going to a writer's conference in Menasha with two fellow members of the Sheboygan County Writers Club.

Sunday is Celtic Mass and Faire. If you go on the Sheboygan Press site www.sheboygan-press.com you can read the article about the Faire that appeared in the Beliefs Section tonight. I am quite pleased and hope it will bring in a lot of worshipers and revelers.

Here is a great soup recipe that is REALLY easy.

BLT Soup

6 slices bacon cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium onion sliced
2 (13 3/4 oz) cans chicken or beef broth
1 (14 1/2 oz) can of chopped tomatoes, undrained
2 tblsp steak sauce
2 cups chredded iceburg lettuce

In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Remove and crumble bacon. Pour off most of the drippings. Cook onion in reserved drippings for 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes and steak sauce. Heat to a boil - reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add lettuce and simmer for 2 more minutes. Stir in bacon and serve.

Enjoy.

I just want to share a quote. A friend sent me a story about an HBO movie calles Iron Jawed Women. I probably would not have watched it without the story she sent. It is about a group of women who were fighting for the right to vote and were imprisoned and terrible abused in the prison. A high ranking person wanted a psychiatrist to commit the leader of the women but he refused.

The quote he spoke was "Courage in women is often mistaken as insanity."

I really liked the quote.

Have a nice day.

I got an email from a friend today. It mentioned an HBO movie called Iron Jawed Women. I probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise. It is about a group of women who were jailed and abused for fighting and marching for the right of women to vote.

Someone wanted the ringleader committed to an insane asylum. But the psychiatist refused saying. "Courage in woment is often mistaken for insanity."

Wow

I received a message on e mail about a movie called Iron Jawed Women about a group of women imprisoned and beaten and abused because they fought for the right for women to vote.

Apparently a very important person wanted the leader committed to a mental institution. The doctor refused saying, "Courage in women is often mistaken as insanity."


I was impressed

I guess I just got in to the "holiday" mode the past couple of days. I would intend to post and then wake up in the morning realizing that I had not.

I spent two very quiet days at home. Everything is ready for Celtic Mass and Faire. I finished up the details in the two quiet days and I actually fininshed the quilting on the big quilt that is supposed to be hanging in the Sheboygan County Quilt Guild show on September 18. All that is left is the edge, label and some fine tuning. I don't know why I do this to myself. This committing on a deadline is goofy when a person is supposed to be a retired person.

My sister Nora's daughter, Britt and her husband Bryan, visited Mother yesterday. She is an assistant curator at the Milwaukee Art Museum and has just accepted the head curator position at the museum of the University of Arizona in Tucson. They will be leaving in about a month and came because it will probably be a LONG time before they come back to this area again. Sounds like a great move for them. Bryan is excited because he is an artist and that is a great area for developing art. I know Arizona and New Mexico have really strong artist communities. Such a lovely couple. Another niece that we are so very proud of.

I also finished a couple of little booklets for the Sheboygan County Historical Research booth at our Celtic Faire. One on Grandpa Deeley. The other on the Lady Elgin Connection to the Bowser Family (Bowser being my Mother's maiden name.) I explained this on my 8/30 post.

Jim is healing well, we believe. He goes for his first checkup today. Dick is taking him at 10:00.

Have a great day.

Love
