White Winter

Decision Dilemma!
Should I strap on a pair of skates and enjoy this cool weather...

or stay cuddled under a down comforter
and wile way the hours with a hot cup a tea, new magazines...

and lovely books....

with my special dog, Krumpet

as it has been snowing so much here and we are expecting more...

I use to love sledding in the snow,
now I am more of a snow picture-taker...

I am definitely thinking about my next trip to Paris...

and the so cool picture I left behind at the Paris Flea Market
of the Mona Lisa and a Dog
-got Krumpet son after my return...

after considering all those great choices,
in the words of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz

"There is no place like home"
Happy White Wednesday

Dear Karen,
I think the down comforter in your beautiful room with those old French Books, hot earl grey tea and Crumpet would be my choice by far. To me that is all heaven!

No question, I'd stay in that comfy bed snuggled under a big comforter. A hot cup of tea and a good book in hand.

Staying home cuddled up in bed sounds great to me! We've had tons of rain and our snow is gone for now! Supposed to be 59 tomorrow! Can you believe that? Need a good day so we can load the box truck for the next show! Have a Happy New Year!

I would definitely stay in that wonderfully cozy looking bed. Don't see the dilemma here. It's a no-brainer for me, but then I'm a lot older than you. Enjoy your snow.

That bed looks so COMFY! IS it birds eye maple? It is a beauty. And how cool is that you have the water color of your home from the 30s. Thank You for stopping by and have a great NewYear!................Julian
