A Blog Entry You Can Really Scarf Up



Had an unprecedented few minutes to peruse blogs last night. (HA! OK...I'm kidding. But, I really don't spend as much time as my family thinks in the blogosphere. I'm on deadline for the PTA newsletter; I don't have time for that this week!)

Anyhow, came across bloggy friend, Linda at 2nd Cup of Coffee who posted on a meme about scarves (thanks to Rachel at
Unexpected Blessings for hosting).

I have a long history with scarves (and some just plain long scarves). And, since I'm enjoying that awesome Southern snowstorm this morning...still...it seems right to tie up a few minutes of your time with a few photos and yarns about scarves. (I'll stop punning now.)



Why stop with just one scarf when you can wear two? I was in the high school color guard for two years. Purple ascot with the brown coat scarf (and the puffiest pom-poms at the end) made for a cool scarfy look (and quite warm as we got into November. Plus, the pom-poms let me cheer with the cheerleaders!).



Christmas caroling with the friends in high school. That scarf dates back a LONG time!!! The thickest scarf I have ever owned. A stand out over the bright green down parka, no? Then, there was the guy I liked who wore scarves....let's not go there.



Canoeing in Canada. Scarf isn't really appropriate in August, but "scarfing" a sweatshirt fills the gap nicely.



This scarf is also very old. My sisters and I all had a scarf that looked like this one, only in 4 different colors! (Way before the Wal-Mart smiley face.) My girls get to enjoy it now...or, at least, put it on a snowman.



And here is me, today, before going out in the snow, with my London-style scarfing.

It's London-style because my sister, who lived over there for a time, showed me how to tie it that way, as that's what all the folks over there do. Two years ago, I joined all my sisters and my mom there for a girls' weekend. My sister from Ohio bought everyone a scarf for the occasion. Who knew you could dramatically change a scarf by folding it in half first before wrapping it around your neck? (And that really did work against the drizzly, drafty London air!)



Ah...memories....

Scarves will do that for you!

Yay!! I loved this post too. You are a scarf (& hat) gal. I think my hair is too big for all that. LOL! But you look just great.

:-) My electricity is back on!
I love wearing my scarves that way, they're so much warmer but I did not know it was called the London way! A friend showed me how to do it about 10 years ago. I'm originally from Buffalo so you find out how to make yourself as warm as possible!! Happy Monday :)

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea

When I was 45....

I t was a very good year! (Yep, celebrating again! I hijacked my own blog--LOL!) The glass is half full, and things have never looked more browniful! Awesome day on tap.... sunshine, take-out barbecue for dinner, cake.... Thanks for celebrating with me! Enjoy.... ( Let it rise....One of my all-time favorite praise songs! )

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that
