I smell you

It was an interesting day today. I called in sick to work, for the first time in just about 6 months, I believe. Finished up a series of books, The Alvin Maker series by Orson Scott Card. Called my mom and we drove down south. We visited a friend of hers and then went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma. My Gandma is ill and very much likes us to visit.

Anyways, while down there we stayed longer than we had meant to and my husband ended up calling me twice before I headed home. But before I headed home I needed to eat something and so did my mom.

My Grandpa is an amazing cook. He can throw just about anything into a pot and make it not only edible but he makes it delicious. And he didn't want us to go out and buy some dinner when he had food in the kitchen. So he threw some food together for us. It was a wonderful soup that he put together with homemade noodles, turkey and gravy.

WOW!

I love my Grandpa and all that he does for his large family.

It is an interesting note that even though lots have tried to learn from my Grandpa how to cook, I don't believe anyone in the family can match his cullinary skills. But some have come close.

Anyways about the title. I went out to give the dogs their medicine and my brother in law walked by and said that he could smell me tonight... Odd I thought. But then he said that I smelled like soup.

Well that made my night. I am proud to smell like soup that my Grandpa made! What a great day! Even if there were some worrisome times during the day!

Now

Well I haven't had much time to update this. We finished Camelot and started tech week for A Christmas Carol. So I couldn't do much in the way of just thinking about stuff. Although I have had much to worry about.

I care so much about my family. All of them. My inlaws, my extended family. It doesn't matter how extened my family gets I think I will always worry about them. It's amazing to me how long my family went before have had trials to go thru. But I think all of them will get thru it just fine. Our Heavenly Father loves us all. And I know that he knows what is in all of our hearts. He knows how to help us if we just ask. I believe that he is with all of my family today. They, we, need it.

Thank you

Guinevere

Well I read the book. Wow let me tell you I don't think I have ever learned so much while still being sooo very confused.

She and Aurther were real a real King and Queen. Now there is where you start to get confused. They were real! Now where did they live. There is the English place but no one has really proven this. But then there are real places named after this fabled couple up north from present day England. In, I want to say, Scottland.

Guinevere actually has a grave. With beautiful pink gravestones marking the place and telling of her life. And showing joy for her life.

She wasn't really this bad women who was adulterous. She had more meaning to King Aurther's throne than just a pretty face. Although from every account she was the most beautiful women around. She was Aurthers historian. She could write. She had several trials that she went thru. (Of course every person does.)But not only was she the historian but she was also a preistess. One who took care of the soldiers. And helped with everyone's faith. And Lancelot was not her lover but a boy whom she helped raise. And then he was her fighter. For she needed someone whom she trusted completly that would fight for her. And, for some reason, it couldn't be Aurther.

I don't know why?

This is about the summary of what I got from the book... Maybe someone else who has read this book or has studied this woman will know more. And help me to learn more. Because I think this will always be a question in the back of my mind. Who were these people. What did they do? How did they live? Why did they do what they did? And How could they have changed what was said about them?

ok my thoughts on this

Ok so to just explain... I was having a chat with my mother.


shi says:
well I am taking a bath and just jammin to the radio when this song comes on (see below in Reba post)...
shi says:
I start thinking about it...
shi says:
and what comes to mind...
shi says:
Aurthur...
shi says:
Guinevere... er however you spell that
shi says:
and then.... what comes to mind...
shi says:
Mary Magdeline
mom says:
interesting
shi says:
I got the thought that the whole camelot story came from the story of the life of Jesus
shi says:
does any of that make sense
mom says:
yes but Dad wants to hear it
shi says:
what
shi says:
?
mom says:
tell him more about these thoughtds
shi says:
Well
shi says:
I think about the show... obviously... and I have been thinking about it alot...
shi says:
but the song just sort of brought it all together...
shi says:
have you ever cheated on me,
shi says:
only in my mind.
shi says:
now camelot: Be it sin or not sin they betray me in their hearts and that is far sin enough.
shi says:
and he also says that he never wanted to be king...
shi says:
He just became king...
shi says:
She was lonely... and longing for love... as in my dream...
shi says:
He was out trying to set an example for his kingdom i.e. his flock.
shi says:
and she fell in love... perhaps she even did something wrong.
shi says:
She was found out
shi says:
brought to judgement.
shi says:
He still loves her... what can he do
shi says:
.... do you see the parallel
mom says:
yes. i think you should take this conversation to use your words in another blog
mom says:
you already have the song on there just add to it these other thoughts
shi says:
oh....
shi says:
so just cut and paste these thoughts to my blog
mom says:
check scriptures and the story to see if you notice any more parallels
mom says:
yes
shi says:
ok...
shi says:
But that might take a while
mom says:
all we have is time
mom says:
i have the big book
shi says:
big book?
silly darby says:
La Morte D'Arthur
shi says:
oh really... I had no idea
shi says:
the death of arthur
shi says:
ohhh
shi says:
what is it about...
mom says:
it's the complete unabridged illusrated edition of the Arthur story
mom says:
by sir thomas mallory
shi says:
wow... cool maybe could I borrow it
mom says:
yes but i'd like you to read Guinevere too, i have it
shi says:
two books... different sides of the story?
mom says:
two different perspectives
shi says:
gotcha
mom says:
whether it was Christ and the Magdalene or someone else, it is a parallel in which a person who is a king and queen might find themselves.
mom says:
and since we are to become queens and kings we too might
mom says:
and compassion is required
