Updated - "This is Howie Do It" Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, WISH YOU WERE HERE!

All I want for Christmas...

I want to sponsor a child from India. I want someone to call Rising Star Outreach and sponsor a child in my name. I want to write to this kid (boy or girl) and tell them how wonderful they are, and how much a little birdie in America misses them and aches for them.

Happiness, Freedom and Peace of Mind...

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature

that the three things we crave most in life --

happiness, freedom, and peace of mind --

are always attained by giving them to someone else...

-Peyton Conway March

Pollyanna.... ya gotta love her...

This Blog is just an update to my Glad Game post a little while ago. My neighbor has some prisms she wants to put up in her window. I'm getting some serious inspiration, and just wish I also had a window, but alas, I do not. here's the picture MC! Hope you love it!

DRESS UP, UPDATE

Update on the Costume Closet. We are cleaned out, and have kept a few "collections". We are still playing Castle Games, hanging out with Mary Poppins, Oliver Twist and the Dickens Crew. We're crossing the plains with the pioneers and keeping a few of our fantasies with Dorothy, Cinderella and their friends. Thanks for all our friends who took our excess and have fun playing dress up!

I'm delighted that with all the costumes cleared out, I can get down to the real work of finding my ancestors. Every day these historical pieces mean more and more. :)
