Great report from Dr Victor Elias Ghantous - Mom's Ashes arrive home


He said write your daughter in BANGLA DESH and thank her for the kidney transplant I had on April 1, 2011.

All my meds were in order. Told him I continue to take a low-dose aspirin every day.


The office staff is very nice.... Sally, whose sister is now vacationing in Hawaii ... Jeanette. 

Told Jeanette there is a Xmas song with lyrics BRING A TORCH JEANETTE ISABELLA, bring a torch to ....

"Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella" (FrenchUn flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle) is a Christmas carol which originated from the Provence region of France in the 17th century. The song is usually notated in 3/8 time.

The carol was first published in France, and was subsequently translated into English in the 18th century. The song was originally not meant to be sung at Christmas; it was considered dance music for French nobility.

The carol first appeared in print with the Provençal text Venès lèu, Vèire la piéucello; Venès lèu, Genti pastourèu![1] in 1668 in a collection of twelve Provençal noëls by Nicolas Saboly.[2] The popularity of the melody is attested by the fact that it was used four years later by Marc-Antoine Charpentier for the drinking song Qu'ils sont doux, bouteille jolie in a 1672 revival of Molière's Le médecin malgré lui.[3]

Jeannette and Isabelle/Isabella in the song title are two female farmhands who have found the baby Jesus and his mother in a stable. Excited by this discovery, they run to a nearby village to tell the inhabitants, who rush to see the new arrivals. Visitors to the stable are urged to keep their voices quiet, so the newborn can enjoy his dreams.

To this day, on Christmas Eve in the Provence region, children dressed as shepherds and milkmaids carry torches and candles while singing the carol, on their way to Midnight Mass.

ENOUGH ALREADY!


The heavy package that Mailman Sean brought was MOM'S ASHES.


Too bad she is not alive.


I miss her more than I thought.


SCOTT AND I ARE GONNA DO SOMETHING NOW.


Perhaps walk around the WILLOW GROVE   Y M C A.
