The Saint James Lily..

Are you sure that is the flower of St. James, BB...you never post anything serious and factual!

 

[nycwalking]

Long I’m living till then.
Cause I’ve been to Canaan
And, I won’t rest until I go back again.

Woke up to this song on my lips.

On camino again: ASAP.

Enjoy today everyone.

Noooo. Got no inside information on Lilies...but I know a bit more about compost
But that’s it’s name!

Compost. You. No.

Energy recycling: Yes.

 

[Bristle boy]

Compost. You. No.

Took me a long time to learn to say compost.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Compost. You. No.

Energy recycling: Yes.

Absolutely: Yes

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Took me a long time to learn to say compost.

A classic tale about US President Harry Truman:

The story goes that Harry and Bess and their daughter go to visit one of the most beautiful rose gardens in the United States, just one bed, after another and each one is better than the last one. Harry finally turns to the owner and says, "Gee, tell me, what kind of manure do you use to get roses like this?"

Whereupon, as the story goes, the daughter pipes up and says, "Father, you shouldn't say manure, you should say fertilizer."

And Bess says, "You keep your big nose out of this, it's taken me 20 years to get him to say manure."

 

[Turga]

Compost. You. No.

Energy recycling: Yes.

Made me think……. This Sunday I drove to the recycling station with some junk from my attic. In the yard there, there was a large container labeled “Small combustible”. And I thought “yes, we are….”

 

[Peter Fransiscus]

On my walk today I saw BB...but he turned into a pillar of salt. Maybe he was a bad boy! (And what's that hanging down from his middle?)

Picture #4 is pathetic...he needs to take more recycling lessons! I know just the person for the job....me!

Picture #4 represents trash in every country...actually I saw very little on the Camino Portuguese...I just finished.

Congrats, Chris. I hope that you have had a few moments of awareness of the blessing that you have received and have given to those you met along the way.

Donkeys are.

But, our dear Bb, creates life recycling opportunities.

What's a life recycling opportunity...does it have anything to do with cloning!

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Congrats, Chris. I hope that you have had a few moments of awareness of the blessing that you have received and have given to those you met along the way.

Thank you, Kirkie! Each Camino I walk presents new and different opportunities for a challenge, internal growth, and learning about a variety of cultures all in one lump.

Truth!

Yes, but this way we can eat the whole bag OF CHIPS and not gain weight!

After doing so for years I have vowed never to eat another mylar bag again.

But, will you eat a Mylar balloon?

We have the same in the GB.

Oh, you are clever to notice that, Rick! I am going to edit my post...so there!

Waiter: “How did you find your steak Sir?”
Me: “I moved a chip (French fry) and there it was!”

Ahhh!

I just got it as well.

Go Rick, go!

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Oh, those are different. I have the helium flavored ones when I want a light snack.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

What kind of chips? Poker, chocolate or cow?

Poker, so I can learn the game simultaneously.

I can never drink black coffee. Lots of cream and a little sugar are necessary for me...now I know why!

 

[Camino Chrissy]

We purchased this bottle yesterday to share in our room as an apertif, indicative of the area. I think it is an herbal form of Galician Orujo....it tastes like a cross between Lemonchello and cough syrup!

I have had it served after dinner in Sicily (or very similar...and tastes of lemons. Very nice.

I've had it in Italy, too! I prefer the lemonchello if memory serves me well...which it doesn't always do in my 60's! At €6 a bottle here, though, what do I expect!

Yep, gotta stay true to this thread...it's very important!

 

[Camino Chrissy]

If BB was a human (which he is not) this is what he would look like walking on the Camino Portuguese...or is this boy too young. Somehow I think BB may be as old as dirt...like the majority of us on this thread...translates to over age 60!!
Anyone less than that is still young...NYC, I'm talkin' to you!

 

[Bristle boy]

Did you understand what was on the tee shirt of the boy? I think it more applies to others...

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Yes, I had googled it prior...but "a picture is worth a thousand words", so I didn't care what it said...isn't this the Not serious! And in addition...I am an imp!

First paragraph of https://www.dictionary.com/e/duende/

In lists compiled by linguists and translators, it seems “duende” is a word that many experts regard as the hardest word in Spanish to convey in other languages.

Me? I'm just a silly old imp...I don't really care all that much, but I admire those of you who do! You all are what helps make "the world go round"!

Hi Honeybee! Yes the elf, aka BB, is kinda cute! BTW...I have loved, loved, loved, all of your special, uplifting emails about my walk! I wish I knew you more than just virtually...you are one of "the best"!

Yes, "spirit" can be all encompassing! Good thought...your Spanish classes have possibly paid off!

I knooow! I see her stuff and get blown away sometimes! I can't touch her posts with "a ten foot pole". I was just telling someone today about her "smarts". You could give her a "run for her money" though!

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

My guess would be more like sprite than spirit. But that is probably a distinction that even native English speakers would have trouble with.

Edit: Come to think of it, Sprite could be found in a bottle too.

In spite of this spittle about the sprite's spirit we've been told that that is BB.

My guess is that yaying is the squirt. Peter is not the pixie. Despite the alliteration he is too tall.

 

[kirkie]

duende is what it is. it doesn't translate, really. It lives where there are wisps of smoke... and howls of wind, and roar of wild animals. And cute, ever so clever duendes can transmogrify into ... whatever will protect the mystery from being picked apart and made mundane. Is that the same as nisse? In Ireland, perhaps, the nearest would be one of the Little People. Beware.

I wonder if Peter likes to eat pumpkins?

Could be. They cannot be explained; many have tried but have failed. They are very rarely seen, primarily around Christmas time and only by people who truly believe in them. They are not evil but they do like to tease and if you know what's good for you, you put a bowl of rice porridge up in the attic for them at Christmas. That way you may not have your shoes stolen or your car keyes strangely disappearing or your cat suddenly starting to dislike you or....

My poor mom always lost her keys. Now, I know why.

Hey,

I too had rabbit ears.

And, I’ll be 57 this year.

And, sometimes while out I receive senior citizen discount without asking.

No! I've seen your Dora the explorer avatar. Now, if you said they handed you lollipops I'd believe that.

[Camino Chrissy]

No! I've seen your Dora the explorer avatar. Now, if you said they handed you lollipops I'd believe that.

I don't get lollipops and I don't get senior discounts either. I always either forget to ask or fail to shop on Wednesdays, often the only special day for the discounts. I usually grab a dumdum on my way out though.
