Back Home but On the Run

I have an incredibly busy day ahead of me today with photo shoots and costume hunting and possibly picking Mike up from the vet's, so I'll just give you some highlights from the holiday trip to Georgia.

For me, the main highlight was spending time with my sisters. I see them all just two days a year because we are scattered around in different states. I wish we could see each other more often, but it rarely seems to work out that we can gather at any other time but Christmas.

Here we are years and years ago with me holding all those stuffed animals. Of course, we don't look anything like this now, thank goodness.

Here are my new shoes, a gift from daughter No. 1. Eustacia gave me a Spanish in 3 Weeks language program which I can't wait to look into it.

Here is Tiger enjoying the gift exchange before we left for the larger celebration in Georgia.

And here are my girls during a shopping trip with my family.

Oh, my! I so love that first photo, Robyn! You were such a cutie!

Hoorah for Tiger! Cats and wrapping paper are a recipe for fun.

And that green guy with the antlers and the bow tie has impeccable taste in chatting up your two beautiful girls.

Welcome home!

Ohhh your girls look divine. I too posted a pic of my boys shopping today! How weird. Not their faces though, as you shall see.

Your shoes look so comfy. Hola, como esta usted? Tengo tres hijos, Robyn. Tienes dos hijas. lol! Good luck with that. We can practise by email if you like - I studied at uni level but I'm soooooo rusty and crave Spanish.

Look at you, little cutie in the first photo!

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want. This is the photograph I had in mind while I read Clemens' dictations. He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
