Just like Christmas! I love internet shopping! It's so exciting when all your packages arrive!

:eek:

Thank goodness for that:) Coloured bow ties make a man look like one of the entertainment staff:D

 

Hmmmm, then I guess the carved wooden bow tie I bought for my DH at a stall in Covent Gardens today would be out of the question? :p

 

kidding - just kidding

 

(seriously though - it sure is a conversation piece LOL)

Only if it isn't ebony and you consider snickering to be conversation. I'm just kidding too. Of course, if it's a self-tie wooden bow tie, that would be something to inspire conversation for quite a while.

Does snorting fall into the same category - cause that is what I did when I saw it. Actually it is a combo of two woods - looks like something light and something dark. Lately DH and his crew have adopted bow ties as their new 'look' - they all showed up at church in them the other day and I have to admit - they were rather dashing - can't vouch for how many were self-tie vs adjustable hooks but I'm sold on DH in a bow tie LOL.

Hmmm Vanity in church. Tell them they're all going to hell! But they'll look good getting there! <LOL>

and what the heck are you doing on here when you should be getting ready for tomorrow - I know you're already packed, but you'll need some sleep!

How are you getting to New York. You said you have a driver coming for you when you return. How are you going down tomorrow?

 

Well, Have a marvelous time! Wish I could join you!

 

Karie, up in Colchester.

Hi Karie,

 

the Mayflower (and plunder and pillage the natives who welcomed you)

 

I just needed to toss in my 2 cents about the Pilgrims "plundering and pillaging the natives who welcomed them" I have 8 grandfathers who came over on the Mayflower and have done a great deal of research on them and their lives. From all the research I've done and all the history I've read the Pilgrims had only great respected for the Native Americans and knew they needed their help or they would all die, most did anyways. It was actually the Puritans that came over after them that started the horrible mistreatment. The Pilgrims and Puritans get confused a lot in our history.

Ok, of my soapbox, I'm sorry!

 

Back to the right subject CUNARD:D

 

Take care,

Hi Malcolm,

 

I know! that's kind of weird isn't it and I didn't mention the 1 uncle and 2 grandmothers :eek:

Those VERY cold winters may have had something to do with it ;)

2 Grandmothers? Isn't that verging on incestuous?

There were 6 other women, I PROMISE, but only 2 came over on the Mayflower. When I explain it's not quite so bad :o right? :D

My apologies~!

 

With a brood like that! Perhaps I'd better not incur their wrath! (Inbreeding and all!<LOL>) Honestly, Betsy, I was generalizing and I know (generally speaking) you shouldn't do that.

You are most probably right about the friendships. though things were not always positive, I understand. and I've actually been to Plymouth!

(I may have even driven a Plymouth at some point!) Let me tell you though. that rock is awfully small! And not particularly from erosion. It just wasn't that big to begin with!

They do a nice job of - I forget what they call it- The being in period costume and staying in character- on the ship and escorting people around and such. Once you have been through that ship, you have to wonder how in the world these people ever survived. We complain about leg room on an airplane! There was no BODY room on the ship!

 

Karie,

who doesn't live that far from Plymouth, sort of.

No apologies needed at all Karie!

 

I love Plymouth, it is such a wonderful little town and so full of history. The old cemetery "Burial Hill" is so cool. I think I'm a New England girl at heart, if it weren't for all that darn snow we might just move out that way :p

Take care,

Betsy
