Moo Moo

Saying for the day: What you hear may not be what you should have heard.

If you look at the Finnish word list you will now find two words for grandmother.
Finnish like English often has more than one word that means the same thing.
I decided to include “Mummo” because it is a word that rises up out of my past.
Often when I visited my cousin Raymond they would talk of going to Mummo’s house.
I thought that was a strange name for a grandmother.
It seemed like they were saying Moo Moo and it had something to do with a cow.
The only grandmother I had was called Gram, or grandma , or Mom , or even Mabel but never Moo Moo.
I don’t know why but it never occurred to me that mummo was in another language.
I suppose if my Finnish grandmother had lived I would have called her mummo and then I would have known.

@@@@-News from Pigeon Falls– the little town in my garage where the trains still run and dragons fly– Thomas O Bradley IV , the writer who lives in the old Hermit House, stopped at Nancy’s for coffee last evening. He was the last customer of the day. Nancy said he asked an awful lot of questions but then writers are like that. Aside from asking questions he seemed sort of nice. He liked her coffee and had two saffron buns. He seemed very interested in her great , great grandfather the inventor.
Since one of our four teachers was out this week Eino’s wife has been substituting. She says it has been a real joy and that Pigeon Falls has wonderful students. Tommy, the undertaker’s kid, wrote a paper called “ The Edge of Nowhere” that seemed so real it was almost as if he had been there. She shared it with Eino to show him the high caliber of writing but Eino looked more upset than pleased. She has no idea why.
Mrs. Schmidt did a program down at last Lutheran all about her Hawaii trip. She even had pictures of some churches they saw there and the one they went to on Christmas Eve. One of the husbands whose wife went to the program complained that the church shouldn’t put on programs like that. Soon all the wives will want to go to Hawaii for Christmas and who will take care of the cows?

I am still phasing out the JCPOINTS. Go HERE for your total and HERE to see what those points win for you. I will be adding new things.
We went to another church today. The people were friendly. The singing was great. The pastor is a very good preacher. She even did a children's sermon that kept all the kids interested adnd I know how hard that is to do. She also made sure that we didn't escape without talking with her. This could be the church. After church we did a little shopping and then went to Peter's for the day. Got home just in time to get a call from my sister Dawn. All in all a good day. Now I need a breathing treatment.
