The oh, so incredible snow at dizzyland.
We went with some very good friends, including our dear young friend from Russia who has been staying with us occasionally during this extended trip. We had a blast, and the decorations were fun. As usual, I liked the musicians in New Orleans square.

The kids had a very good time.

Our Favorite Things

Posted in 2006, Christmas, Holidays, Writing on December 18, 2006 by Whispering Wood

Kisses from puppies and purring from kittens
Drinking hot cocoa with warm woolen mittens
Children who tug on their mother’s heart strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Boys who can climb better than they can walk
Who like firetrucks and fireworks
And are learning to talk
Wild boys who dance when the radio sings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls with bright badges on junior scout sashes
Who want to put makeup on cheeks and eye lashes
Sweet little girls who are blooming like spring
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog chews
When the cat claws
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel…so bad
