Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Awww, c'mon, you
knew if I found some way cool Medieval
Christmas carol that I wouldn't be able to let it pass, didn't you?!?
This one was even mentioned by Chaucer in
The Canterbury Tales, and
you know how much I love that!

PRAYER REQUEST:
From
Me
('65) of IL - 12/13/09 (altered
for date and repeated):
I feel strongly impressed today to ask
your fervent prayers on behalf of five people whose issues have not been
mentioned here before. What I'm actually requesting is
Five Christmas Miracles, as the various problems all need
to find a resolution by New Year's Eve. I know that's only 16 days away now, but
I also know among us there are some Mighty Prayer Warriors, and I would deeply
appreciate your efforts, as I'm sure would they!
Thank you all so very much - and
Merry Christmas!

TEAM WORLDFEST
Well, hey there, Hunter!
Seriously
cold is right!
I actually
ventured outside last Wednesday to run some errands (something I generally to to
delegate as much as possible). It just so happened that was the very day the
temperature dropped to 24 degrees and the winds were maintaining a 40 mph speed,
and the snow flurries were blowing wildly.....
OOOH! The Botetourt Chamber Singers! Thanks for this delightful link, Hunter! It's so very - well, Virginian!

Carol,
Da Babe is so right ! Something is definitely lost in the
"translation!" He mentions the nuclear world....well, in the Nuclear World
that my husband Reuben works in there are many other acronyms ! I will
close this case now since it does not apply one little RCH to those that
have either forgotten or really don't care about hearing any more.
By the way...Da Babe is still young enough to be called....Da Babe ! He
owns it ! Happy belated birthday !

12/14/09 - "Organizing the House.":
|
Hi, Carol: So many of your Newsletter subscribers offer recipes and tips for sharing with the rest of the Typhoon Nation. However, few tips are offered by those who are now "House Husbands" performing domestic chores while the better half is still working. Maybe some of the guys will share their "success stories" in making the household a little better organized that leads to greater efficiency in completing various task such as preparing a meal. After moving everything around in the kitchen cabinets and on the kitchen counter to make it more efficient, Eva has made a decision not to retire just yet. She cannot find anything now, so work at USF is easier. Get those cards and letters and emails to Carol all you "House Husbands."
TYPHOON Regards, |

Boat trip conversation
Hi guys
The first link shows the photos that first got my attention in the mid to late
nineties.
I have from time to time gone back on line to see what’s new out there about
this topic.
There is a lot more interest in the Bays now.
Just google Carolina bays for all types of links to pictures and information.

From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of IL - 12/14/09 - "The
Wicker Basket":
The Wicker Basket
The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern
Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at
the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out Bible. His grandson who wanted
to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he could.
One day the grandson asked, 'Papa, I try to read the Bible just like you but I
don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the
book. What good does reading the Bible do?' The Grandfather quietly turned from
putting coal in the stove and said, 'Take this old wicker coal basket down to
the river and bring back a basket of water.'
The boy did as he was told, even though all the water leaked out before he could
get back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, 'You will have to move
a little faster next time,' and sent him back to the river with the basket to
try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the old wicker basket was
empty before he returned home. out of breath, he told his grandfather that it
was 'impossible to carry water in a basket,' and he went to get a bucket
instead. The old man said, 'I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of
water. You can do this. You're just not trying hard enough,' and he went out the
door to watch the boy try again.
At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his
grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out
before he got far at all. The boy scooped the water and ran hard, but when he
reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, 'See
Papa, it's useless!'
'So you think it is useless?' The old man said, 'Look at the basket.'
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket
looked different. Instead of a dirty old wicker coal basket, it was clean.
'Son, that's what happens when you read the Bible. You might not understand or
remember everything, but when you read it, it will change you from the inside
out.'
Moral of the wicker basket story: Take time to read a portion of God's word each
day; it will affect you for good even if you don't retain a word.
Thought for Today: God's Love is like the ocean; you can see its beginnings but
not its end.
I really like this story because I don't retain things too well anymore...old
age may have something to do with it but I just figure my brain just gets
overloaded! God isn't concerned about your brain anyway; He's more concerned
about your heart.
Thank
you, Paul!

This is soooo cute! Than
ks, Baby Girl!
From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 12/14/09 - "Cute - The Middle Wife":
After watching daughter, Sheri, deliver two babies using a midwife, this was too cute not to send on. Hope you enjoy it.
The Middle Wife
by
An Anonymous Second Grade Teacher
When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over their shyness and, usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame.
Kids bring in
pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like
that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they
want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes
her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under
her sweater.
She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm
going to tell you about his birthday.'
'First, Mom and Dad
made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach,
and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.'
She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh
and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.
'Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh,
Oh!' Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. 'She walked around the house
for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!' (Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk
and groaning.)
'My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign
on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.'
(Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.)
'And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got
thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!'
(This kid has her legs spread with her
little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much!)
'Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe. They
started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes
my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom's
play-center, (placenta) so there must be a lot of toys inside there. When he got
out, the middle wife spanked him for crawling up in there.'
Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm
sure I applauded the loudest.. Ever since then, when it's show-and-tell day, I
bring my camcorder, just in case another 'Middle Wife' comes along.
WILD GIGGLES! Thanks,
Ruthie!
