When I was driving tractor trailer I was in Gulfport, Mississippi when hurricane Lilly came through I was loading bananas down at the pier right on the Gulf of Mexico to go to Phoenix.
Word of advice...No load of bananas is worth risking your life for
That's a tough one to choose Tracey. I'm a huge history buff and there are so many things in the days of old that I would have loved to have seen or been a part of. Not to mention the fact that I'm an Art History major and to have lived in the times of some of arts greatest achievers would have been phenomenal.
I'm going to have to think a little more on this one and come back to it.
An average Saturday morning? I'm not sure I know what that is
If it's a Saturday like today where I don't have a million things to do then...
Wake up whenever...Usually about 7am at the latest Read my emails Respond to my emails Write my morning email Catch up on the threads and do some posting Do my morning physical therapy exercises (lately) More email More posting Shower More email More posting Drink a pot of coffee while doing all of these things
and I know this one is a bit more personal as you have stated in other threads but, reguarding your faith, would you be willing to share a bit more detail about it?...if not....thats just fine, no hard feelings.
Yes but as I have stated before in another thread. I don't personally have a problem with people knowing, but some people have issues regarding it due to misinterpretation or lack of understanding. Unfortunately, some are not as open-minded as they say they are, and that leads to many conflicts.
I have studied many of the religions and a variety of faiths and belief systems over the years. I don't believe there is one "true" faith, it is whatever feels right to the individual. I don't try to change anyone's belief system, just as I wouldn't want someone to try and change mine.
I've thought about this quite a bit, and I'm torn between 2 centuries.
The 16th Century is the first one, because of the many great people of that era. Mary Stuart aka Mary Queen of Scots - she's part of my ancestry on my Mom's side. Michel Nostradamus - I've always been fascinated by his writings. William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe - Two of the most influential authors and poets of the time, even in todays society. Great artists of the Renaissance - Giovanni Bellini, Sandro Botticelli, Jean Clouet, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raffaello Sanzio aka Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Rogier van der Weyden.
The 19th Century is the other - My favorite authors and artists came from this century - Authors; Lord Byron, François-René de Chateaubriand, Emily Dickinson, père Alexandre Dumas, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, Mary Shelley, Walt Whitman, William Wordsworth, Lord Alfred Tennyson. Artists and Sculptors - Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Degas, Eugène Delacroix, Georges Seurat, Alfred Boucher, Auguste Rodin, and my favorite artist Vincent van Gogh, and sculptor Camille Claudel.
Granted during these 2 eras there were many uprisings in the societies, but the progress made with science and inventions during these eras have been the foundation to many of todays inventions and scientific theories. And last but not least, don't get me wrong I love my jeans, but the dresses and gowns that they wore during those time periods were stunning and quite flattering to the female figure
As I said in one of the threads last night. As soon as I'm done with physical therapy, I'm on the first flight out of NY headed to Phoenix. Unless he decides to come to NY before then
Good morning Serenity. Easy question. What are your plans for this Labor Day Week- End ? I am in South Dakota spending a few days with 2 sisters. Have a nice day my friend.

The House of Common Journals: Mary Tudor is soon introduced. Mary realized that a plot was being hatched to place Jane on the throne. She had been urged by some friends to flee the country since they feared her life would be in danger. Mary knew that if she fled, she would forfeit all chances of becoming Queen and returning England to Catholicism, so she chose to remain and make a stand for her crown. Edward died on Jul 6, 1553. Shortly afterwards, Duke of Northumberland informed Jane at Syon house that Edward had left the crown to her and that she was now Queen of England. Mary, meanwhile, was in East Anglia. Northumberland and three of his sons went to take Mary into custody. Mary was at this time moving around with a growing army of supporters. She knew that he must have confirmation of her brother's death, because it would be treason to declare herself Queen otherwise. She received news from a reliable source that Edward was indeed dead, and promptly sent proclamations throughout the country announcing her accession to the throne. Mary went to Framlingham Castle in Suffolk, which was better fortified. Her number of supporters was increasing and Mary took time to inspect her troops personally. The people of Suffolk were flocking to Mary and many of the leaders who were supposed to take her into custody instead went and begged for her pardon. By this time, the Privy Council in London realized their error in going along with Northumberland's plot and declared Mary the true Queen of England. She left Framlingham for London on Jul 24. Queen Jane ostensibly mediated the reconciliation between the princess Mary and the king. In the correspondence which ensued between the father and daughter, about twenty days after the marriage of Jane Seymour, she is frequently mentioned by the princess as "her most natural mother the queen:" she congratulates her on her marriage with the king, praying God to send them a prince. These letters were chiefly dictated by Thomas Cromwell, whose son afterwards married a sister of the new qneen. Mary certainly regarded Jane Seymour as her friend; nevertheless, the terms were so cruel on which Mary was restored to her father's presence, that her majesty had not ventured very far in her intercession between them.
From one of Mary's earlier letters, it is evident that she had known Jane Seymour previously to her marriage, and had been treated kindly by her. [Hearne's Sylloge] The Roman catholic historians have mentioned queen Jane with complacency, on account of her friendliness to Henry's ill-treated daughter; the Protestants regard her with veneration as the mother of Edward VI. and the sister of Somerset; and thus, with little personal merit, accident has made her the subject of unlimited praise. Her kindness to Mary bears an appearance of moral worth, if the suspicion did not occur that it arose entirely from opposition to Anne Boleyn. The princess Mary was permitted to visit her step-mother at the palaces of Richmond and Greenwich, 1536-7. That season was saddened to queen Jane by the loss of her father, Sir John Seymour. He died in his sixtieth year, the preceding December, leaving his family at the very pinnacle of exaltation -- his eldest daughter the triumphant queen of England; his eldest son created lord Beauchamp, and lord chamberlain for life. The queen's aunt, Joanna Seymour, [Lysons' Cumberland] was the wife of Andrew Huddleston; their son Andrew obtained a command in Henry VIII.'s guards, called gentlemen at-arms, and riches, favour, and honour were showered profusely on every member of the house of Seymour.
Andrew Hudleston of Faringdon c.1532-1601 Andrew was the younger son of Sir John Hudleston of Millom (Cumb) (d. 1547)and Southam (Glos)and his 3rd. wife Joyce Prickley of Worcestershire. Sir John's 2nd. wife was Joan Seymour, aunt to the (later) Queen Jane Seymour. Andrew knew Sir John of Sawston and his son Edmund...(they were 2nd. cousins)indeed had recommended to Queen Mary that she rested at Sawston when she was being pursued by the forces of the D. of Norfolk and Lady Jane Grey in 1553. When Andrew married Marie Hutton in 1564, he had been living with his elder brother Anthony(son of Joan Seymour) at Millom. His sister Bridget (widow Askew)now married to William Pennington of Muncaster, gave him her house at Seaton (formerly a Priory). Several of Andrew's children were born there,and at Millom and other houses on the Cumberland coast belonging to Millom, but in c. 1583, he was offered on a perpetual lease on a house and estate at Farington Hall, Lancashire, near Preston, which belonged to his cousin Edmund of Sawston. This estate was sold c.1605/6 to pay the debts of Sir Edmund, and was bought by the son of Andrew, Joseph, who later acquired the estates of Hutton John from his uncle Thomas Hutton. Bridget Pennington was a staunch Catholic, while her brother was a "temporiser" or "crypto Catholic". The family remained Catholic till after the Restoration of Charles 2nd. while the Sawston Huddlestons remained Catholic till the 20th. cent. Annette Hudleston Harwood
