Zikes! What a year! Joseph forgot to make reservations at the Bethlehem Inn (his carpentry projects aren't the only thing made out of wood!). So they stick us in this stable full of stale hay and stinking animals and guess what??? I go right into labor. My OB doc said: "Make the trip." Anyway, we have a new baby boy that we think is truly special. But it's been a madhouse ever since!

First, we can't agree on a name. Joseph likes Immanuel; I'm holding out for Jesus. Next, all these shepherds stop by to gawk (as if the smell wasn't bad enough). At least those three camel jockeys brought gifts (ever try to exchange myrrh without a receipt?) We can't get a good night's sleep with that stupid star shining through the cracks in the ceiling, and every store in town is sold out of swaddling.
Well, got to go! Joseph had another one of his visions so I guess we're off to Egypt. This time, I make the reservations!

All my love,

Mary

Joke

A old woman is in the bar of a cruise ship and she asks the bartender for a scotch and two drops of water.

As the bartender gives her a drink she says, "It's my birthday today and I'm on the cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday."

The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday I'll buy you a drink. In fact I'll take care of this one for you."

As the woman finishes her drink a woman to her right says, "I guess I should buy you a drink too."

The 80 year-old woman says, "Alright. Bartender I want a scotch and two drops of water."

"Alright" says the bartender.

As she finishes her drink, the man to her left says, "Since I'm the only one around you that hasn't bought you a drink I guess I might as well buy you one too."

The old woman says, "Alright, bartender I want a scotch and two drops of water."

"Comin' right up" the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink he says, "Ma'am I'm dying of curiosity. Why the scotch and only two drops of water?"

The woman replies, "Sonny, you learn that when you're my age, you can hold your liquor but you sure can't hold your water!"

Moods of a Woman
An angel of truth and a dream of fiction,
a woman is a bundle of contradiction,
she's afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse, but will tackle her boyfriend alone in the house.
Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose,
she'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose, she'll win you in rage, enchant you in silk, she'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk, at times she'll be vengeful, merry and sad, she'll hate you like poison, and love you like mad.

Trivia answer....

The brilliant colors in a hummingbird's feather are created by tiny platelets that resemble a pancake filled with air bubbles.

They are called "interference colors," and are much like the shimmering colors seen in a soap bubble or in a drop of oil.

The color-producing phenomenon is called interference and is due to waves of light interacting with each other to produce constructive reinforcement or destructive cancellation of the waves. Interference phenomena produces the colors seen on oil slicks in water or in the colors of bubbles or in the colors seen in thin silicon oxide layers on silicon. The oils and silicon oxides are in themselves colorless but when present as a thin layer (film) on another material produce colors. These colors are referred to as thin film interference colors.
