I forgot to mention, I loved the NYT article, what a great event!<br /><br />We will wind up getting the newbie and his "big" sister some piece of outdoor climbing stuff, his little family will be stationed in a warmer climate, and were just waiting for them to close on a house and move in. No point in loading them up with more stuff to move.<br /><br />Oh it is so much fun to reread beloved books....wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-9550821261936299212012-10-01T07:54:35.571-04:002012-10-01T07:54:35.571-04:00We used to "lease" part of a horse, whic...We used to "lease" part of a horse, which meant a monthly contribution to his upkeep, when my youngest rode. <br /><br />What a cute little guy! He appears to have a pleasant personality too, at least at that time of day. A little basket of books is my favorite baby gift to give. I love the little Jamberry book and R.

Goblins pop up in September, and Christmas merch is appearing already, to be Interrupted in November by a brief flicker of Thanksgiving. In Manhattan these days, Thanksgiving is the holiday where people who've never produced a sit-down meal before take up sharp knives and sizzling pots. Very dangerous. wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-72085345287474104002012-10-01T03:29:15.698-04:002012-10-01T03:29:15.698-04:00Merrie, velveteen rabbits, broomsticks, I love eve...Merrie, velveteen rabbits, broomsticks, I love everything in this post.<br />I always thought it wasn't so bad in the US because Hallowe'en is so big there and you have Thanksgiving, I actually thought there wouldn't be a single Christmas decoration to be seen till December!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-39817789696421005102012-09-30T11:05:26.765-04:002012-09-30T11:05:26.765-04:00Not well organized at all, that sweatshirt should ...Not well organized at all, that sweatshirt should have shuffled off years ago, I've just decided that its time has come.

I actually watched "When Harry Met Sally" yesterday afternoon whilst doing work, specifically so I could watch the scene of them walking through Central Park in the fall with the leaves on fire! And of course to see them pulling the christmas tree home. <br /><br />The Betsy-Tacy series is one of my "comfort" books - I read at least one of the books in the series once a year and when my mother was dying the hospital and i was sitting beside her for hours at a time, I read the whole series. I first discovered the Velveteen Rabbit when I was a teenager and wrote out many quotes from the book and tacked them on my wall.<br /><br />As for how the retailers treat the holidays, I am one of the few people I know who is completely oblivious to this and could care less either way. I don't mind seeing decorations of any sort at any time of the year and would likely be nonplussed if I saw Christmas decorations laid out for easter! But then, I am odd, an affliction I freely admit to!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.com
