Footloose and Fancy Free


Hello friends!
This week is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.
Mr. Flea decided to take advantage of an early retirement incentive.

Yes, that's right...
I left my career in March and now Mr. Flea and I are both
footloose and fancy free.
...so to speak.


What to do now?


Well, Mr. Flea has lots of ideas.
Some of them even sound fun!

High on his list is to get our home organized.
That means cleaning out a lifetime accumulation 
 of  junk er...treasure.



And that's OK with me.

It's time.



This little sleepy time Christmas mouse is a Pat Castka original.
We woke him up while we were sorting
 through our Christmas boxes.
 He helped us move some of our many stacks of books!


Another Pat Castka creation and a favorite of mine
 is this sweet little sewing angel
who is sitting comfortably
 on top of a collection of red children's books.

And so in the midst of this most beautiful Christmas season,
we are beginning the next chapter of our lives.

Any advice?
:)

Update on Mom...
She is happy to be resting in her own home today.
 We thank you for all your kind words and for keeping us
 in your thoughts and prayers!
