TheresaThoma Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 llama spinning is going ok. I am getting the hang of how to handle the fiber. It is not an even thickness but I guess that is part of the charm of it! I'm thinking of making either a scarf or a hat from the yarn I spin!

AnneLine Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Strikes me that you are joining a LONG line of women (including the EARLIER Anne Line!) who would have done this while tending the fire, cooking the meals, etc. http://alison.caffeinatedbliss.com/spin/tourdefleece2008.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Somebody asked me about St. Anne Line earlier today, so probably time to bring out the home movies and play them here in the Kitchen: From Wikipedia.... "She was born in 1567, the second daughter of William Heigham, Esq., of Essex, a strict Calvinist, and was, together with her brother William, disinherited for converting to Catholicism. Some time before 1586, she married Roger Line, a young Catholic who had been disinherited for the same reason. Roger Line and William Heigham were arrested together while attending Mass, and were imprisoned, fined, and finally banished. Roger Line went to Flanders, where he died in 1594. Around the same time, Father John Gerard, S.J. opened a house of refuge for hiding priests, and put the newly-widowed Anne Line in charge of it, despite her ill health..... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9mVZ1BOiTk[/media] "Anne Line was hanged on 27 February 1601..... At the scaffold she repeated what she had said at her trial, declaring loudly to the bystanders: 'I am sentenced to die for harbouring a Catholic priest, and so far I am from repenting for having so done, that I wish, with all my soul, that where I have entertained one, I could have entertained a thousand.'" Full Wikipedia entry here - most of which is taken from the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1910.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Line http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:St_Etheldreda,_Ely_Place,_London_EC1_-_Nave_statue_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1613362.jpg Edited July 25, 2013 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I keep meaning to get this bumped up, and I have just been super-busy trying to get some stuff done that needs doing!!!! Cooked some really nice vegetarian enchiladas on Friday, stuffed with peppers (red, yellow and green), onions, mushrooms, black olives and lots of garlic and spices. MrAnneLine is NOT a happy vegetarian, but he happily enjoyed these with some brown rice that was stir-fried with the last of the vege sauté.... Have any of you seen this stuff? I found it at our local Vietnamese grocery, and it says it is Thai Organic Trio Mix rice, and it is a mixture of brown jasmine, red and black organic rices. It comes in this vacuum-sealed block.... This isn't the exact bag, but it is pretty close... I had to root around on the internet to figure out how to cook it because all the print is in Thai or Vietnamese (except for the name and the organic info), but oh my... . It is INCREDIBLY good!!!!! This is the link to the 'how to cook brown rice' instructions -- super easy, and YUMMY!!!!! http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2007/03/how-to-cook-brown-rice/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I need some help in my garden, too!

AnneLine Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) And speaking of the above.... When I worked for the State, our union did a big article in the union newspaper about our 'newest brethren'. It seems that a bunch of union member state employees had been replaced by goats, who did indeed do the work better, faster and cheaper. But the union was very unhappy at losing the dues! Threatened to strike! Compromise was... they made the goats part of the union. Gave 'em breaks and benefits, bought them some insurance... and they paid their dues. Everyone happy (except for the previous human workers, I guess....) This article is probably talking about the same thing... but yup, they really DID hire them as union members.... but of the SEIU (Service Employees International Union), not the teamsters.... http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Getting-Their-Goats-Mills-College-s-use-of-2832273.php Getting Their Goats / Mills College's use of hoofed herd draws less-than-gruff response from Teamsters Goats munch weeds on a hillside near the Oakland Zoo. Last week, Mills College had the goats on their property upsetting the Teamsters Union which filed a grievance claiming the scab goats are taking away union jobs.

AnneLine Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Today is Mr. AnneLine's birthday!!!!! And for once, he doesn't have to work today!!!!! Not quite sure what we are going to do to celebrate... and he is still trying to decide what he wants for dinner.... Good bet is it will involve either large hunks of meat or Italian food.... Could be a LONG night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Mr. AL had a wonderful birthday... and selected the large hunks of meat option. Without being prompted. :) http://www.beststeakinthewest.com/ And this corn... it was... amazing. :eek: Watch the video on this page.... http://www.beststeakinthewest.com/video_californiacountry.htm Edited August 14, 2013 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Change Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned individuals can change the world. Indeed, it's how we got stuck with the IRS, the Federal Reserve and the Mafia. Edited August 20, 2013 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 LOL AL I'm excited 2 weeks from today I will be going for my interview at Maggie's Place! I'm really hoping it goes well because I'm pretty sure this is what God wants me to do after graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Maggie's Place??? I'm all ears, as you can see from my avatar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 http://www.maggiesplace.org/ From their website: "Maggie's Place is a community that provides houses of hospitality for pregnant and parenting women in need who are living in the greater Phoenix, AZ and Cleveland, OH area." I applied to go there as a MissionCorps Member (a live in year long volunteer), and I have been invited for an interview. I didn't really know what I wanted to do after graduation and this just seems perfect. It gives me a chance to serve and a community to grow spiritually in. For the staff there seems to be a very supportive Catholic environment (morning prayer and evening prayer prayed in common, plus the chaplet of Divine Mercy) and then the Faith is put into action through serving the mothers.
