Arlene here

Hi,

I don't know how I ended up here, but I'm glad I did.

Anyhow, I went by the name Arlene Peters. I've seen quite a few names that look familiar.

To anyone I knew, hi.

Montreal is the best.

Verdun....in VIRGINIA, USA???

Took this pic this afternoon, thought you might like to see it hehehe.
Keeping in mind of course, that as most of you know, I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia now....
 
 
 
This is actually what "Verdun" is here: http://www.verdunadventurebound.org/default.asp
Still thought it was neat. Made me miss home all over again tho. We're headed back to Mtl. for 10 days on June 24th tho! Renting a cottage up north for a week then staying in a hotel downtown for 2 nights so I can share the whole "Canada Day at the Old Port and fireworks" experience with my American hubby!  I won't have been back in a YEAR...I'm counting the daysssssssssss...

Recipe Exchange

Does anyone plan to use the "Recipe Files"? If they are not of interest, I will be deleting them. There is a lot of stuff to explore at Verdun Connections and empty recipe files just take up time.

St. Willibrord Church

Here are some photos of the church during and after it was built.

Does anyone have an idea about how old some of the trees in Verdun are?

JOKES or Truisms


Ramblings of a Retired Mind - some thoughts.

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell
phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't
afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that
people didn't like me anyway.

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on
beer cans!

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you
still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to
bounce it.'

I thought about making a fitness movie, for folks my age, and call it
"Pumping Rust."

I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest
is falling into your drawers!

I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh,
have you got a cat?" Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"

Employment application blanks always ask 'who is to be notified in
case of an emergency.' I think you should write, "A Good Doctor!"

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What
are we supposed to do -- write to these men? Why don't they just put
their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for
them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while
they are taking their pictures!

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot
more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming
for their finals. As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.
