Oh my poor little taste buds are about to go wild ---'cause I'm about to wake 'em up and rock their world! I hereby resolve to moo--ve to noosa world! I'm gonna try every single flavor noosa and their little worker bees and happy cows produce. I've been buying store brand yogurt ---but no more! I'm longing for the smooth, velvety texture of noosa yoghurt ---the creamiest whole milk ingredients, fresh fruit and wildflower honey ---and oh yes --- I'm wanting every single one of those 45 wild blueberries! I'm gonna try them all and the smoothies and the mates. Bring me that rich flavor that you do best and yes ---bring me the magic!

20 The End
Happy Christmas
My dream wish is to screen in and cover my back deck to provide a safe, close sanctuary for my sweet cats. My Aunt and Uncle both died during Covid, leaving behind their 4 cats. My Aunt's dying wish was to keep these sweet cats together. I'm trying to do that. I love these gentle fellows. They do indeed need to stay together. If screened and covered, my deck would be a lifesaver for them. Dogs often roam loose in our neighborhood, so I need this wish to keep them safe and close. Caring for them brings me great joy.
SANTA 2023
Santa and his reindeer
were finished with their flight
returning to the North Pole
on Christmas eve -----late night.
The reindeer all were tired
and began to bob and weave
while Santa propped his feet up ---
and quickly fell asleep.
There came a clang and clatter
A bolt worked loose down under
A screech, a whang a clank ---
as the sleigh was torn asunder.
The Jolly Elf tumbled quickly
then caught by Dancer in dive.
Falling towards the woods below ---
both landed in a long gravel drive.
Down crashed all the reindeer
scattered oddly to and fro
scrambling to their feet ---
and shaking off the snow
In streams, puddles and poison vine
across the woods in Tennessee ---
In bits and pieces of wood and metal
the sleigh crashed in scattered debris
Santa stood wobbly and trembled
The reindeer gathered and cried
but Santa said no worries ---
to the nearest house they'd stride.
On the porch the reindeer waited
with Santa winded at their side
Dasher knocked and Santa trembled
The Norrods invited them inside.
I need your help to keep my promise
I made to Mrs. Claus ---my wife
to get home safe and sound
so she can get some sleep tonight
The reindeer will all help me
find the parts to my broken sleigh
But they will then be too tired
to take me safely on my way.
I need a new crew to pull us ---
my sleigh and team and me.
Find eight new deer and a spare
but first some hay and milk and tea.
The Norrods all hugged Santa
and pledged to help him on his way
Dad grabbed his drill and hammer
Mom fetched the drinks and hay
Noah and Emma started searching
for nine deer willing to fly
All were hiding and being lazy
None were willing to even try.
They would all need some coaxing
to harness up and learn to fly
Not used to work and mostly spoiled
None were brave ----and most were shy
The Elf on the Shelf is a wise one
He heard every word --who knew?
If you can find him and search him
he holds your first Deer clue.
Elf=1 {No deer} amarylis book beneath advent santa St patty troll
Hiding in a reindeer stocking
hung upon a closet door
with a red striped scarf and jingle bell hat
the First Deer awaits
Rent a beach house and write the novel crying out from deep within my soul. I have birthed, formed and nurtured this story in my heart for many years. I know I can write it with the inspiration from the sand & waves ....and the serene solitude of the shore.
