Hiya, Hey, and Howdy ๐ This is just a quickie to wish everyone a Happy Winter Solstice! The shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Any folks in the Southern Hemisphere will be celebrating Summer Solstice, so maybe I should just change it to Happy Solstice ๐ค
Things at the Casa are about to get even more Cuckoo than usual. Not only is Ben home on Winter Break, but we got a call yesterday that my “son” (a stray child that was “adopted” into the family in his teens cuz our house was safe and accepting, and I have always mothered everyone) is in the U.S. instead of Mexico City with his husband, and will be staying with us Thursday thru Sunday.๐ฒ Alrighty then…
All of that is the explanation for why I might be around less than I already am. Here are some pictures of Sven the Grumpy Dragon. He always makes me giggle, hopefully he’ll do the same for you. And if you get really bored, there are slide shows and videos of sky stuff here.















I’ll try to get caught up on my comments, and finish my #SLS post for the 26th, but I’m not gonna stress on any of it. I have quite enough stress, and little enough sleep. Whaaa whaaa whaaa… yes, I would enjoy some cheese with my whine, TYVM!
I can be reached by email via my Contact page if anyone wants to chat privately. Stay safe and smile as often as possible, it gives you better wrinkles๐

HUGS!!

Happy holidays Angie.

Blessed Yuletide Ms. Angie! I have missed you around the ‘sphere, but get it that life has to take precedence! Your ‘son’ coming to visit you sounds like a rather unexpected gift. I hope you enjoy your festivities, whatever they involve! ๐

Thanks Melanie! I’m lurking, I still pop in and read here and there, just not commenting much.๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ You see how long it’s taking me to get to my own comments๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
I’ll be glad when it’s all over TBH. It has been more stress than fun ever since I became a parent.I don’t even get to do the Grandma thing where I get the kid all hopped up on sugar and send em back to the parents๐คช๐
I hope your holidays are stress-free๐ค and your family behaves๐๐๐ป

Happy happy! We are so much alike. I mother nieces. So nice to have more family to celebrate
Not as many family gatherings this year for us. People are scared of covid. No biggie.
Happy holidays and winter solstice.

I got named “Mama Earth” by one of Younger’s friends. I asked him if it was because I like nature and he told me it was because I “mother” the entire Earth๐๐

Things are Cuckoo, so I guess that’s good๐คช๐ We cooked our Big Meal on Solstice since Daughter works the night of the 25th. Younger came by ate, took a few To-Go packages, gave hugs and zipped off into the night๐๐
Sven is such a Goof! I startled him today and I thought he was gonna do like a cartoon cat and cling to the mesh screen over his terrarium ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ He did a funky little hop-jump๐
Happy Holidays to you & your crew๐พ๐ ๐ถ ๐ฆโจ๐ค๐ฅฐ
