giggling into pillows
treasuring the magic of snow and ice
buying the world’s most ridiculous bikini
reminiscing with shrinky-dinks and easy-bake ovens
trying out the big bed
(triple letter and double word scores)
searching for a cell signal in the mountains
watching quietly as children opened gifts
puzzling over cryptic sparrows and wishing for a better lens
meeting friends and family
losing myself in diamond dust and the enormity of the night sky
scandalizing a couple sweet little girls
(nothing too serious… don’t worry!)
scoring an awesome set of horseshoes
celebrating the new year twice
(once with sparklers and banging pots and the next with kisses and hugs)
making wishes on a falling star
beating everyone at pool
soaking up the welcome heat of a fire
seeing someone i love look ridiculously happy
I love the picture of the sunset – beautiful colors. Good to have you back.
Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a blogging vacation.
Banging pots at New Year .. yes!
(BL won’t let me do that anymore
:<( ……………..)
Missed you. Welcome back – it sounds like you had a wonderful break.
It sounds like a truly beautiful vacation. Happy for you.
Wonderful and fun way to spend a vacation, although I’m not so sure about the Converse Allstars in the snow!
Sounds like a delightful and fulfilling way to spend a break!
Living poetry. Beautiful skies and more.
Nicely done and poetically relived:)
I’d say that is a great start to a new year!! :c) I smiled the entire time I read your list Laura.
What a great list! So much variety!
Sounds good to me. And, it seems to have been good for you.
I love that sunrise shot. The clouds are stunning.
sounds like the best way to spoil yourself. Lovely pics.
Magical.
Nice. Very nice.
Dear Laura,
I’m sneaking in the back door here.
On quietly checking in on long-neglected blogging friends, I made my way to Bev’s Journey to the Center – and there you were – consoling her with tender understanding.
Life is such a mystery. The imponderable pain and beauty.
Happy New Year dear.
Don’t, don’t, don’t stop at my pathetic blog. I’ve been so negligent for so long and don’t deserve the attention. Give me a few months to earn the smiles and nods.
Cathy stopped by and reminded me that I need to visit my favorite blogging friends. She’s so wise…
Laura, I love your blogging vacation. I love it all!
Mary
What, no photo of the bikini?
Hear, hear, MojoMan!
Is that a White-throated?
