Wonderful song Helena, and brilliant that the Childrens Choir is going to perform it. You must be very excited and proud. Don't forget to take a recording device when you go to hear them. Well done.

Thank you,

Re: Song Blessed Hands. Helena Donovan.

Lena this song takes me back to my RC upbringing singing in the choir at school and the Nativity Plays and such. Nothing like childrens choir with smiling happy faces singing their little hearts out.
A nice song expressing all the right sentiments.

Re: Song Blessed Hands. Helena Donovan.

Lena,
That's an absolutly beautiful song.
Maybe the children will enjoy your music as much as I do.
No, They will enjoy it.

If you're not happy with what you have...
Then you'll never be happy with what you get...

Re: Song Blessed Hands. Helena Donovan.

Children finished school today! So next week its the run of the church
choirs.

I am hoping to record it. But im crazy busy at this time of year. I have just sat down on my feet since 6 am.
You know i love my work Bonedaddy, But today was sad. It was all the grave stuff. So many peoples lives are tainted at these times with the loss of one thing or another.
Any way im off to my sacred place tomorrow to recharge! I shall pull in at Carlingford lough on the way.  Have a stroll. and on to my sacred  place in the Mountains of Mourne to recharge.

Undiluted Heaven Bonedaddy!

I got one of your emails in spam?

Re: Song Blessed Hands. Helena Donovan.

Hi Lena

What work is it that you do?  I guess love and loss are two sides of the same coin, there's no escape from the bad stuff in the end.

I love the idea of a sacred place - mine is either my bed or my computer!  Not as picturesque as yours I'll bet!

My email in your spam?  They'll put anything in those tins and still expect you to eat it!  I've sent you 2 emails, one was about your request for Roger to record your song and the other was pretty tag, the 'clean' version lol

Anything else was not from me and should be deleted and trashed and never referred to again under the (un)official secrets act.

Happy recharge to you and peace be with you!

Re: Song Blessed Hands. Helena Donovan.

Hi Bonedaddy!
Today was the big day for my wee song. I bareley made it on time.
Just got In on the end of a very old Hymn "Hail Sweet Babe So Pure and Holy".

Some offerings for the needy as in food hampers. Then my wee offering.
To see and hear those childrens beautiful wee faces singing my song/hymn, made me cry. Faces fresh all healthy and full of the expectation of Christmas.
All the music played by children also. everything from tin whistles to guitars
Tambourines recorders and so on also " 2 violin players. It was pure magic
to see them pronounce and mouthe my words..
The backdrop was gorgeous. all made by the children. So so festive.

No i didnt get to record for other reasons. but i think i can arrange something in the new year. My own chapel will do this for me.

While i was away the w/e one of my old neighbours house went on fire.
I brought some flowers to her on my way to chapel. Sure the poor wee
creature fell into my arms in tears. Bonedaddy her house was like a dolls house. Its now totally ruined but for one room.  This also happened to me 3 years ago so i know the devastation of same.
She knows shes welcome to mine and my sons house. she just wants to
stay in whats left of her home. I understand this and everyone is looking out for her. I know this will be sorted by the grace of God and all our wonderful friends.

So Bonedaddy that was i day in the life of Old Doll.

I need another visit to my sacred place already!

Thank You for asking!
May "He" whose birthday we celebrate bring you peace and joy in 2008.

Re: Song Blessed Hands. Helena Donovan.

Lena!

I'm sure your friend knows that it is better for her house to be burned down than for her to be lying in a hospital or worse because she was in it, maybe it's time for her to get a real one?

I'm glad everything went well for you and the children, brutish wee beasts that they can be, they also have a real sweet side to them especially when singing in church.  Makes me wish I could have seen it.

I had a terrible bottle of wine the other night, a chilean carmenere from the Spar - was awful from the first sip to the bottom of the bottle, you understand I had to taste it all to make sure?

So how about that thrashing?

cool

Re: Song Blessed Hands. Helena Donovan.

Well now, Angel - I mean doll!

Concha y Toro Casillera del Diablo just happen to be about my all time favourite, especially the Sauvignon Blanc or Carmenere!
Wolf Blass are brill too but wasn't taken with Eagle Hawk?  Hardys are a great standby too but must look out for the others.

Please, please, please, please, please, please for pity's sake won't you post the recipe?  I have no idea what it's for but I suspect it might be a cocktail?

cool

Re: Song Blessed Hands. Helena Donovan.

Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish

2 cups whole raw cranberries, washed

1 small onion

3/4 cup sour cream

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons horseradish from a jar ("red is a bit milder than white")

Grind the raw berries and onion together. ("I use an old-fashioned meat grinder," says Stamberg. "I'm sure there's a setting on the food processor that will give you a chunky grind — not a puree.")

Add everything else and mix.

Put in a plastic container and freeze.

Early Thanksgiving morning, move it from freezer to refrigerator compartment to thaw. ("It should still have some little icy slivers left.")

The relish will be thick, creamy, and shocking pink. ("OK, Pepto Bismol pink. It has a tangy taste that cuts through and perks up the turkey and gravy. It's also good on next-day turkey sandwiches, and with roast beef.")

Makes 1 1/2 pints.

Well now Bonedaddy!

I am really sorry its not a boozy one. But i did make this this morning!
and between you and me i ate half so good is it! Yummy.
your supposed to freeze it . but what  the hell.
i did freeze the rest. But ill be buying more fresh cranberries tomorrow.

theres another recipe with Garlic.

To keep away the Yahoos { sorry i mean the Vampires lol

God ya didnt do much begging!
