LADYBUG'S DOODLES: I have a variety of interests and hobbies and you will probably find them all included in my Blog. I am Christian, so I post what I believe and make NO Apologies for it. I will continue to strive to keep this blog rated G. Some things you will find here are reviews of movies and books, songs and their lyrics, recipes, crafts and ideas for crafts, quotes, lists, articles and facts, my experiences and any other thing I can come up with.
I get the Just CrossStitch magazine and saw this in the April 2022 edition. I loved reading about the Pascha Basket and Wanted to keep it for my Commonplace Book.
A very ancient custom which “fell by the wayside” among the Greeks as a result of the 400 years of Turkish rule, was the custom of “blessing the family baskets” of Paschal food at Easter. It is still widespread among the Slavic nations who inherited the Orthodox Christian faith and culture from the Byzantine Greeks. ~ stjohndfw

21 And he said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away;
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
I got this recipe from the restaurant at the Black Gold Casino in Hobbs, NM when I worked at the casino between 2005-2008. It was delicious and I have enjoyed making it ever since for the summer. I looked it up on the internet and found the exact same recipe by Amanda Duggan, and it is from The Cranmom Cookbook, one of the cookbooks created at FamilyCookbookProject.com. I use different kinds of grapes and add walnuts or pecans to the top of it instead of mixing the nuts into it.

Well, Fall/Autumn has come to my part of the world. The mornings are colder and the days are generally cooler. I came upon this poem and, although there are generally no trees where I live at this time in my life, I remember the leaves from Tennessee and this poem makes me homesick. The poem is titled "Come Little Leaves". It is from the book "In the Nursery of My Bookhouse" - Volume 1. The book was edited by olive Beaupre Miller; published by The Bookhouse for Children 1920
Well the first day of fall happens tomorrow. Came upon this poem and wanted to remember it. Photo is from Millie Motts' Flickr and was written by Nona Keen Duffy.
