Feeling grateful

Your lovely gift arrived yesterday! I ordered it quickly because of the Christmas rush, but Amazon surpassed itself by delivering it in 24 hours...

I'm a very lucky girl to have such generous, loving friends. We embarked on a journey together over four years ago and survived some upheavals, had some virtual battles here and there, but the birth of this blog brought calm, peace and friendship to a remarkable group of people.  I've just realized how aptly named this space is. We always have time for each other, not matter what o'clock it is!

Thank you.

Methinks Annette loves Christmas

Pallottine sent us some photos of Annette's Christmassy handywork. The last batch arrived on November 15 and Annette was already starting on the outside!












Merry Christmas, Holidays, Season, etc, etc, to a very busy Annette, Pallottine and all the lovely gang that congregates here!

Shake slooowly

I saw this on Facebook. There's also a book of still photographs of the dogs in mid-shake. The author, Carli Davidson, has a very nice website.

Birds do it too!

Yesterday's "polite" thread inspired me to do a bit of searching on YouTube. I found this cute video. Make sure you have sound.
