I was here as BirdNana a year ago, almost to the day. I didn't have the honor to meet you Sue but would have love to... you had a personality that I imagine everyone would have liked to be your friend. I hope the message got to you in heaven that we are sad you are no longer among us but surrounded by more angels. Mila also known as Bird
ks: love your sense of humor! Did your husband take this picture of your other man? :) (hope you remove 19Tiger49's comment ... there is enough negative political energy on social media, etc. let's keep jigidi fun!)
@kshastings I love this picture, especially your hand on his knee!!. You asked about the 4 QE 2 pics in Carolina Blue. We moved to Williamsburg in 1971 when our daughter was one. She just turned fifty on June 1st. I taught math at Queens Lake Middle. Where did all the time go?
Oh please, Sue- do visit me in my intimate iguana boudoir for a heart-to UU talk! Foxes, mermaids and iguanas have so little in common that that they can appreciate each other without needing to compete or devour...
You make me chuckle, Jean! Clearly, you're a true UU. I wish we could share some face-time! I'll be mulling your "over-challenging to fnd a comfortable niche." Story of my life. (But then, I'm a mermaid... Or is it a fox???)
Actually l think we are not all that rare, simply not identified- UU is supposed to be the least known of the major recognized religions. But it is difficult to share beliefs one does not care to debate in the face of ignorance, belligerence and crassness. The nearby congregation is too old, inbred and stogy for me- The farther one is lively, with tons of talented participants and a good pastor. It is thriving... in fact it won a grant for further development and growth... but l personally find it over-challenging to find a comfortable niche for myself...
thanx for the personal note, Jean! Our UU congregation is struggling in this hotbed of conservatism. Recently ran into another UU, in a surprising place--a true oasis for me!
@kshastings - Hello Sue- My previous post was derived from yesterday's UU sermon on addressing conflict and techniques on how to do it... (???) (!!!) l truly do relate to UU teachings, have just resumed attending services after a long hiatus due to previously mentioned conflict with nearby congregation; so the hour commutation is worth it, l hope...
@grannie1059 , l'm with you- @19Tiger49, l hope you're correct. Your view differs from mine, but then what do l know in the face of your wisdom, education and experience?
actually, I didn't know about Murray Grove. Have only been a UU for abt 5 years. Before that, lived on a boat, before that, Episcopalian, before that, Methodist. Went to our monthly women's lunch today, same day & hour that the men meet for lunch. They go to Hibachi Grill (isn't that redundant?) and we go to Senor Jaime's. Our congregation is small, and seems to have always been that way. I guess it's hard to grown Conservative Country. Can't even vote Blake Fahrenthold out of office.
as a matter of fact- since you're a writer- l live near Murray Grove- the birthplace of UU in America- It is a lovely property with comfortable old buildings used a retreat and conference center. Of course in need of money- l offered to write a little book about the history for them- They could so easily ut it in the black as a place of pilgrimage... no go. no will, no interest. money is dirty, don'tyouknow... so l left...
