I went to buy a shovel tonight (which was allowed) and then by accident bought 2 other little things (as Christmas Tree Shop). I'm going to return them tomorrow. I'm compulsive. I can't go into stores.

I did not watch or realize just the extent of this tradition. The costumes, music, dancing THE PROPS!!! It is truly an amazing feat not only these Mummers getting it done but getting it done so fabulously. I am blown away at the costumes, music, dancing THE PROPS!! Excellent Ferko just excellent and congratulations to MFD for his performance and so much more. llf1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/16196234993611944142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-38532723242999552952014-01-03T00:29:05.298-05:002014-01-03T00:29:05.298-05:00I'm inviting myself over next New Year.
