Who was Cassandra?


  • In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.

We had a lovely day, Beth, full of delicious food and family. My poor husband is ill, so it was very quiet without any of the planned visitors. Honestly, it's been a very long time since that happened, and I enjoyed the peace with only my children. Today will be equally nice, as I do not venture out of my home on Black Friday for fear of my life. Looking forward to watching my kids inhale the leftovers and quietly reading on the sofa. My idea of heaven.

a lovely day, thanks. too much food. too much family. but that's as it's supposed to be.
