scrapbook and journal

Thanks a lot, LauralyBeautiful, for this lovely postcard! Andrea and Max also loved the colouring pages (I’ll post the result once they’re finished) and most of the stickers have already found new homes and made a few boxes a lot more colourful. ;-)
Thank you!

I spent two days at Devil’s Den, snorkeling, swimming and riding horses. We stayed in these gorgeous cabins surrounded by moss covered trees. The morning mist over the park was beautiful.

It was difficult to get great photos inside the caves, but you can kind of get a feel for what I saw. These caves have fossilized seaforms all over the walls. At the deepest point, the dive is 58 feet.

Yesterday morning, my daughter (5) started to ask questions again, which sometimes can go on and on and on… But this time it got interesting. =)

Andrea: Mama, why is it that Pinocchio can move when he is made out of wood?
Me: Well, the fairy gave him the ability to walk and talk.
Andrea: Oh I get it: he’s running on batteries!
;-)

^{Watch out Santa! This little girl will soon discover who’s hiding underneath that beard… ;-)}

Here’s a quote I at first found funny, but then made me think a lot. To me it feels surprisingly true and powerful:

It is astonishing just how much of what we are can be tied to the beds we wake up in in the morning, and it is astonishing how fragile that can be.

From Neil Gaiman’s Coraline.

My big white cat Sammy has passed away. I have posted many photos of him on 43t and written about his antics. He was a very sweet and well behaved cat. I am going to miss him terribly.

Let go….

I don’t know if I showed this one yet but I LOVE this sweet video. I actually emailed the guy who shot this video after I saw it and told him that I loved what he did for this animal.

I think this is sweet. These foxes are having fun jumping on a backyard trampoline. :)

Wag-a Lot changed their name to Doguroo. Same location and same staff. When I went to pick up Sir Charles, this huge Husky mistook me for his mom and jumped up on the glass to greet me.

Here is the new link to the “Wag Cam” now the “Dog Cam”
