Really care? Really, really now…..really!? We even stopped playing so we could share this with you because our Maw IS SO EXCITED TO TELL YOU!! Why is she pacing? We ask ourselves why we haven’t had much time lately to sit on her lap, too. Well, this is why! And we will let Maw ‘splain to you now…
Our – yours and mine – gracious and beautiful MISS KIM and MISS MAGGIE have invited us to be their guest blogger for December! At first I was a bit reluctant to do so because I wasn’t even sure that one single Christmas decoration would make it out of the boxes this year. After some serious soul searching, prayers and contemplation – I decided to accept the invitation – that of which is like being invited to a Presidential Ball. Yes,it is THAT much of an HONOR!!!!
I have had the pure joy of visiting Kim, Maggie, Laura and Daisy Cottage in June of ‘08. I wrote about it here. Do you remember the giddiness that you got in your stomach when you saw a really cute boy or having the anticipation of going to the first day of school? When I was driving up to Daisy Cottage, a huge nest of butterflies began to flutter in my stomach – pure giddiness and so surreal all in one lump. I was nervous & excited – actually in utter disbelief that I was reallllly pulling into the driveway to meet, in person, two adorable blog friends that live clear across the country from me. We had such a beautiful day together and shared good stories, ate fabulous food, did some shopping and treated ourselves to a great pizza pie for dinner. A day to always cherish ~ always.
Miss Maggie stole our hearts – then and now! She is one little character as you can see. Maggie was waiting in anticipation for a good belly rub here. We were blessed with sweet Maggie kisses throughout the day. Spencer swooned over Maggie - or was it the other way around?!
I want to thank KIM for giving me the gentle nudge and persuasion to persevere through the very most difficult of Christmas times. A lot of Christmas decorations remained in their storage boxes, however I did pull out some of our family favorites, such as the woodland Santas above. They sit beside the old mantel clock that once graced my Nanny’s mantel. She used to decorate around it for Christmas, too.
