Miniature Carousel Horse visits Cadance

This is the tiniest horse I have ever seen. I am talking small, tiny, miniature...you get the picture. I think it might be a small unicorn who has not grown his horn yet. Or better yet it is a horse that has come alive after living on a carousel. The children that rode him wished and wished for him to be a real horse and here he is. Maybe his father was Gipetto.
Blue eyes are a sure sign of magical powers. I think he might sprout wings at any time and be the Winged Warrior.
Children love him. I think he is sleeping and dreaming of miracles that he can perform. Wake up magical pony.
Just one kiss and my prince will come. I wonder where the fairies are.
Come with me and we will fly away to never never land.
I only need one wish. Please just grant me that.
If I hug you can I have a wish also?
Dad is keeping a watchful eye for dragons and other mystical creatures that might take the dreams away.

Fill er Up, Fill er Up, Fill er Up


A Blue Moon can be quite rare. Our blue moon occurred on December 31, 2009, New Year's Eve. In fact the next blue moon will not occur in December until 2028. There are special magical powers of the blue moon that one must capture. Take your purse or wallet or a bag if you do not have the other and hold up to let the moon beams fill your container.

If you don't have a purse, borrow one. Is that Samantha's or Stevie's? My it looks nice with your outfit. Even Big Steve gets into the festivities. Sometimes people get blessed in other ways. I think Katelyn received the good luck turtle, which provides you with long life. She also has on the magic bracelet.

Chant: "Fill er Up, Fill er Up Fill er Up" three times. This will bring you great wealth in the next year. See how the whole family participates in these pagan rituals. My sister really gets in the spirit.

Flip Flip Flip The Movie

Santa Claus was so good to me this year. I got the new Flip video. It is the same size as my small digital camera and fits in my purse. This is my first video and movie. It is only 48 seconds long. I have much to learn.

Visiting the Relatives

Uncle Ned is showing off his new dentures. He always was such an old goat.Festus loves the cousins. He like to play beard with them, but all they want to do is butt heads. Katie is getting married and is showing off her white wedding dress. My it is lovely.
Wait who is that? Isn't that just like Merri the artist to show off her latest mixed media creation.


Ed, the talking horse has nothing to say right now.
Visiting family is fun when you are in Calhoun ,Georgia on your way to Tennessee. It is 49 degrees and windy.
We arrived in Atlanta at 2:18 and the roadways were just smooth sailing. Oh no, we just got on the wrong road. With that Big Steve took us on a great tour of the lovely old neighborhoods of Buckhead though roads left over from the horse and carriage days. There were times when he was driving on the sidewalks. I hope no one noticed. Next time I am getting him the Tour Guide cap and microphone.

Comfort Foods

Have you ever eaten one of these? It is an Oriental doughnut. It was really too pretty to eat. I looked all over the Internet and could not find one picture of this food. I did taste it and it had a bread outer layer and inside a creamy chocolate custard.Eating at the Cheesecake Factory in Tampa is always a treat. This could be quite a fabulous hat.
The best food is always eaten with good friends. Nothing like beef stew and dumplings. My friend Shari invited us for dinner Saturday night and made this great dish.
Stew cooked in an old iron pot is just the best. She glazed the carrtos and onions in red wine and sugar. YUM!!!

Dinner at the Great Outdoors

Thursday night we dined at The Great Outdoors Restaurant here in High Springs. The meal started off with warm crusty bread and whipped butter. The house salad was delivered on a cold plate with creamy ranch dressing, blue cheese and glazed nuts.The blue plate special for the evening was blackened chicken served with a light Alfredo sauce with fresh sauteed tomatoes and chunks of garlic.
I noticed that we have not had any vampires around for a long time.
I was trying out my new flash and 50 mm lens.

Long live King Babar!!!

A-door-ables

Recently the American Sewing Guild of Ocala held it's Annual Luncheon. Each member of the organizing committee was asked to make 10 A-door-ables to give as favors for the luncheon.I made 15 so I could keep some. It was hard to decide which ones to keep.These cute little gifts can be used to hold glasses, potpourri, small flowers or just about anything you need to keep handy. The pattern can be purchased from this web site. Adoorables
You could even hide the remote control from your husband. He would never think to look in there. These make lovely gifts for a small thank you.
