I am so so thrilled and filled with joy for you, dear T, and Laura!!
I'm pretty sure there was one featured in the movie, "Oklahoma"!
That was on big snowstorm on radar! I was thinking of you --- hoping all was well --- as I was video phoning with a good friend in the Denver area during the storm, watching the snow inches pile up before my eyes. Yikes!
Spring cleaning time for me begins when the temperature in NW Ohio gets warm enough to open all my windows and let fresh air inside. What a joyful day that will be!!
All the best to you, Martin --- every year!
I have never been a fish eater, but --- oh my! --- Nathan's hotdogs!
Yes, Jeri. I still have Willie. â¤
When I was very little, a beloved neighbor made me a sock animal. I named him Willie after her husband. Willie and I were inseparable. Once in 1957 on a family trip to Washington, D.C., I left him inadvertently in my hotel bed, and I have forever loved the Willard Hotel housekeepers who found him and returned him to me in a shoe box via parcel post.
Willie and I have aged similarly. Our outward colors have faded. We are both frayed here and there. Willie no longer has his hat, and my knees aren't what they once were. Still, inwardly, we are exactly the same.
Physically, faces and bodies change over time, but soul spirits stay as young as they always were. I stopped paying attention to physical images long ago. Looking in the mirror, what's inside shining out from the eyes, heart, and spirit are all that matter.
You, dear Jeri, shine bright like the sun!!
In the past few days, over a foot of snow has fallen in my NW Ohio neck of the woods. Frosty cold, too: just 8°. EEEEEKS! I'm dreaming of crocuses....
Thanks to all allies for their service in WWII!
Here in NW Ohio, the cold has settled in. Yesterday was a frigid 1° when my groceries were delivered. I couldn't get inside again fast enough. Thank you for keeping a sweet caring eye out for your feline visitor. These are tough cold days for everyone. Warm Hugs to you, dear Jeri!
