Doing my Happy Dance . . . Went broke during our annual holiday shopping trip to Portland, but had a ton of fun!

Unconscious Mutterings

1. Up :on the housetop reindeer pause...
2. Scram! :bled eggs, bacon, toast with jam!
3. Smell :...sniff, sniff...are those chocolate chips I smell?
4. Belong :Maine is where I belong
5. Doug :is smug as a bug in a rug
6. Collar :––right, gotta remember to get a new holiday one for Stella
7. Squirrel :Nutkin
8. Chinese :Drunken Noodle Bowl
9. Tracker :of snow & mud into the house- not my favorite time of year!
10. Apartment :rent control
    

Healing Engeries placed on whisper sent on an exhale . . .

For Baby Alyse

For Jake and his journey over life's threshold

For Kathleen as you say goodbye and hold your own daughter-heart in this time of transition and letting go

~ If one eats enough snowflakes, seems a surety they'll be beautiful on the inside ~

Patty:  Try to catch snowflakes on your tongue. It's fun.

Linus Van Pelt:  Mmm. Needs sugar.

Lucy Van Pelt:  It's too early. I never eat December snowflakes. I always wait until January.

Linus Van Pelt:  They sure look ripe to me.
