The Pig & the Cow.

“Why is it” said the wealthy parishioner to the Parish Priest after Mass, “that people call me stingy when they all know that when I die, all I have goes to the Church”?

“Let me tell you a fable about a pig & a cow”, replied the Priest. “The pig was unpopular while the cow was loved. This puzzled the pig”.

“People speak warmly of your gentle nature & your sorrowful eyes”, the pig said to the cow. “They think you are generous because each day you give them milk & cream. But, what about me? I give them everything I have. I give bacon & ham. Yet, no one likes me. Why is that?

“Do you know what the cow replied?” said the Priest. The cow said to the pig, “Perhaps it is because I give while I’m still living”.

Hi Marilyn
Thanks for the photos
Nice to see some more of those we are in contact with

Sunny here now
Little is sleeping
Hubby has gone to work
Did the fresh foods shopping this morning. How come our bills are so much more now. I used to feed Five on less than I spend now. Horrendous

Be back later

Linda :o) XxX

Afternoon all

was lovely and sunny this morning now it's clouded over

have you seen the photo that Auntie Mottie put on the success page of our London meet! lol

It was wonderful to meet the old gal, she looks good for 93!!!

I wouldn't mind Yvonne, but she hid those grey hairs very well didn't she.
And for a 93 year old she was very agile, especially when she was dancing on the table.
And as for doing all that close needle work, weeell, she must have used a magnifying glass.
The raffle prizes were very good as well weren't they.

I agree with Linda, about the hike in the prices of food in the shops.
We don't always want to buy large portions, and to have to freeze things down.
It's like buying the 4 packs of meat from a supermarket for £10.00, there is to much in one tray to be eaten at one time, so half has to be frozen down for another day.
The supermarkets are catering for families, but not for the older generation.
And yes I agree it is economical to freeze things, but being able to buy what we need,and use that day, to me makes more sense.
What is everyone elses opinion on this topic please.

Big X for Marilyn. lol. Thanks for the photos, its really nice to see the faces of people behind the board names. Looks like you had a great time.
Mo you look exactly how I imagined and I like your hair, same colour as mine.
Hope everyone is well today, back later,

Cath xx

Would be nice to see what you lot look like so get snapping.
Fairs fair :-)

Very thought provoking Dermot!
I'mm half way through my fish and chips!
Catch you all later! x

Hi Island, good to see you. You can catch this lots photo's on Crime Watch. LOL
Mind you they are a great bunch of people on here, so come back and see us some time.
Auntie Motie will be here at sometime tonight, unless she gets stuck on her way home,doing that shopping she should have done on Saturday.

Welcome to the grey/blonde club Cath. Mind you it's getting more grey than blonde these days.

If I don't get back tonight, you will know where I am, yep, darts.

Mo,
You're not one of those people that go around shouting,

'Wee Arra People'

Translated from the Glaswegian......'Small Arrow People'.................Darts

Ok ! I know it's a rubbish joke.

Yes Stephen, I am a "Wee Arra Person", getting wee er every day.

Got to go now, bye folks>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>exits stage right>>>>>>>

I tried playing darts once. I was rubbish at it! It isn't easy as it looks.
One reason I like reading is that's it's so good for an armchair traveller like myself. I'm reading a novel based in Corfu and it's not My Family and Other Animals. Corfu sounds very nice.
Tomorrow is the first day of Spring!
