At The Table In My Sunroom

Sunday, December 27, 2009

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Here, the puppy arrived a week before Christmas, along with my father and step-mother who drove her here from Florida. They stayed a few days, and then two of my three children and one of my granddaughters arrived from Florida and Montana. Holiday activities filled our days, from game playing around the table, to Christmas shopping. We cooked amazing meals and baked delectible cookies. My mother arrived, then my step-son, then my step-son's girlfriend. We Skyped with my daughter and granddaughter who stayed behind in Florida this year. The new puppy joined the joyous melee, playing keep away with anything she believed we did not want her to have. Happy liveliness.

Oh - I'm so happy there's not a new puppy at my place! Sounds like a fun, happy family time with a bit of chaos thrown in just to keep everyone on their toes.

Our new pup arrived in the fall, just in time to be house-trained before winter set in. Sadie is a Standard Poodle, coloured black.
Hope you have a wonderful time with your pup, as wonderful a time as you've had with your family at Christmas.

Thanks for visiting. I love having you at my table with me.

A time has come in my life to reach into another place, to reach into a cobwebbed and stiff part of my brain - the creative part. And then, maybe to take what I find to hold it out to share. You see, I have never been creative (and am still not, you might say); I have experienced the world analytically. I now see there is so much more to the world than that.

This started with an idea to write a photo-journal to myself. In that journal, I would write and take photos of details to CONTEMPLATE the numerous sparkles of life I have around me, and CAPTURE them to last. So here I am, come join me....

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
