Unique or unusual from Manford

Sign on a city bus - This bus will kneel on request. (the driver will lower the curbside for easier exit and entry if requested). A restored antique Humpbomile at a nearby garage. The ground carpeted with little daisies and petals blown off of flowering tgrees. Fred Phelps picture on page one of the world section of the New Zealand Herald under the headline "Anti-gay church fined $ 14m for funeral protest" An elderly man in drought ridden Australia attacked and killled by a younger neighbor for watering his lawn. There's more, but enough for now. Emily had a great time at the local Boo at the Zoo bash on Haloween. She wore frameless glasses from which I, with much scraping and muttering, had removed the incredibly glued in lenses on these $2.00 spawns of the devil. Used them to make a ghost we hung in a tree by the driveway. Total of about 14 trick-or-treaters - not quite up to Potwin's many. We bought a bread maker. The first loaf was great. So Manford decides to make another, only larger. Oh, my at least it didn't stick to the pan but what a bulbous, distorted, in places underdone (Carrie threw it out), in places overdone, lumpy thing was created. So back to a smaller loaf, and it was ok. Must try more liquid next time I decide to go bigger, says Carrie. It so shall be. Some rain last night. Anyone drink Durif, a type of grape, wine. We had a yummy bottle from Rutherglen Estates in Australia, a 2004. Lots of good wines so far, and not expensive. Have just bought a cookbook entitled 4 ingredients - which is what most of the recipies require. Sound pretty good, actually, so far. Will try some and see. We send our best wishes for happiness and good health to all who read this. Manford
