Icing On The Cake
By Tess on Sunday: Apr 06, 2008 at 09:58:11 | Permalink | Tickle My Senses (11)
I received a gift from a sweetheart this morning when I woke up, one that made me smile from ear to ear! All the way from MI... The softest white fuzzy blanket you can imagine. A blanket that clings to branches, telephone lines, plants. Enchanting and glistening, covering my world in a pretty untouched white for me to photograph and enjoy. Causing a sense of childhood elation... *thank you!*

ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....] Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!

Movable Type version 4.0.

After all these months it finally arrives?
Hope ya went out and shook some branches :-)
Looks like good snowball snow too ;-)
(now where did I put that sledge?)
Jim: beautiful hey? Yes... after all those months but it was worth waiting for! No I didn't go out... I'm waiting for company to go out and shake some trees, it's not fun on your own :)
(sledge: YAY!)
No snow here erghhh, oh well I'll just enjoy the sunlight and flowers blossoming. I would love to have a snowfight someday, just to have the feeling of it.
hmmmm. . . now who was it kept wanting me to go out for the last several months for non-fun without company ;-)
I hope the white didn't stunt those blossoms. . . I keep watching for them outside my door. . . any day now :-)
Reuben: it never crossed my mind that you might not have snow out there, I feel embarrassed now... Silly me... You don't want a snowball landing inside your collar when it's freezing, trust me ;)
Jim: sorry brain just broke down and is temporarily out of order :p
I think blossoms are dead, but will check tomorrow :( hope you'll have yours soon! :)
Wonderful pics! I can just imagine how nice it feels to touch the snow :)
It's OK and understandable.
Sorry about blossoms though :-(
Wen: thank you :)
Snow feels cold and wet *hehe* and is only fun every now and then... I prefer your lovely sunshine to be honest :)
Jim: blossom was fine actually ;)
Hi :)
I can't seem to be able to leave comments in your latest post :)
Sorry to hear about your mouse. Good luck with all your projects! I know what you mean re the boat...I went to Sicily last year, the weather was dreadful and I got dizzy, I went to the toilet to puke many times :(
I had thought about that channel that you mentioned. It must be scary but exciting.
Have a lovely week :)
I wanted to bring you a nice fuzzy fleece blanket to wrap up in... I guess it's virtual.
Um, I wanted to say though... I don't like feeling lonely, and I do alot. :( Hugs sweetie, miss you much.
Monica
Wen: Hi Wen, I turned off comments on that post... you got me ;)
Thank you for your sweet comment though, I've been so extremely busy I didn't have time to visit anyone and will be off tomorrow morning. Sorry to hear about your Sicily adventure: it sounds horrible, just like mine, sorry you had to go through all that! Hope it didn't last for 6 hours ;)
The tunnel is scary in a way, yes, but it only takes 40 minutes and you can't really tell that you're under water *hehe* Keep yer fingers crossed ;)
Monica: Hi dear friend, thank you for the warm, cosy blanket *hug*. Virtual can be as good as real and I know it comes from a good heart so, thank you for the wonderful gift :)
I'm sorry you feel lonely, I have been visiting you but thought you might wanted some time for you... I shouldn't assume though. I know you could use some hugs too!!! I'll be back soon k? And thank you for missing me... *you know what I mean ;) *
Hugs back at you!
