Wings  - aren't they beautiful...

Flying By

The holidays are flying by and with a house that has been SICK. "Challenging" is the word best used to describe this holiday.  Lack of sleep is a problem for me. I have discovered in the past few years that I do need this mortal thing called sleep and right now with a sick kiddy and hubby this is seriously lacking in this one household.
I am SO in need of some pampering and intend to indulge a little a.s.a.p. and also to go and see Eat, Pray, Love, as soon as possible once it is on screen here.




Kit and The Blonde (Minxi who we called Blondi)

 Doing the Shots for Shadow Shot Sunday, I am suddenly so much more aware of shadows than I have ever been and everywhere you look you see the shadows. Unfortunately I don't always have a camera on me but I am trying to remedy that (reminder to self: always take camera on travels).
So here are a few shots randomly just for the fun of it.
Hope you (and we) get some sleep tonight .

LOL xoxo

Status! - Delicate

mmmmm - that's how we are feeling in this house at the moment.
Seems the recent spate of "bugs" and "virals" have decided to grace us with their presence. I thought that we might have dodged the bullet so to speak ,but no!
It crept up on us all with the stealth and secretiveness that would make an army proud and wham! overnight we were zapped.

Now we dosed with all the good medications Dear Dr advised, and all seemed good for a week or so and then wouldn't you know it, like any good germ, it came back to kick us in the butt. So here we are just before the weekend and the start of the holidays and we are lacking sleep and the littlest one in our family is feeling really miserable and up and down with fevers.
I am hoping we get better with speed and also get some sleep tonight.

Hope all is well in your space.

Heading towards the Holidays

Counting down the days of this last week till the holidays. Weather is bright and sunny and just another of the most stunning days.
We sure are blessed in this beautiful place. Like a postcard.

Here are few of the things I am grateful for : 

• the view over the sea each morning
• hearing the waves in the dark of night
• baby girl hugs
• the roses blooming in my vintage garden
• a cuddle from the cat when he is not too busy
• not feeling too vintage myself (most days)
• that I am loving blogging and having fun with it

I can go on, but really I am just thankful the skies are blue and I am happy. Hope you are too.

(Leave a comment with what makes you happy and I will do a happiness list in the next week or so)
