Somewhere north of here there is a place where a gazillion little elves are working around the clock to help a jolly ol' guy in a red suit create some magic that will bring happiness and joy to a great many children and other human beings. Their effort will be worthwhile, no matter how hard they have to work in getting there. Memories of the magic they create will live on in the hearts and minds of those who experience it for years to come. They will make a difference, those elves and that jolly ol' guy in the red...

Blue Friday

Today is Blue Friday for two reasons, 1) it is a gorgeously beautiful day with a deep blue sky and plenty of white fluffy clouds, and 2) I am not feeling well so have already taken two naps today and wishing for several more if only I could find the time. At a minimum, I need to announce the winner of the July Sock Yarn Give Away ... so here goes. Her name is "Debby", and she left this comment to my gratitude challenge: Our lives seemed to crash as we lost half of our retirement, all of the equity...
