"Whooshing down the hillside fast,
Trees and people blurring past,
Runners carving out the snow,
Like an astronaut I go.
Blasting into outer space,
Rocketing at record pace,
Through the stratosphere I fly;
I’m commander of the sky!
Won’t return to Earth until . . .
I reach the bottom of the hill.
~ A poem by Elaine Magliaro
I have wonderful childhood memories
of sledding down the hill at one of
our local parks. We have received
a beautiful blanket of snow overnight,
and how I wish I could go back in time
and experience one of those winter
afternoons when I would "carve out the
snow," and then gather with my friends,
in a warm kitchen where we were served
hot chocolate (mine was white chocolate)
and cinnamon toast by my sweet grandma.
I guess I am nostalgic with a new year
fast approaching. lol I hope you
too have some dear memories to "warm"
you today...whatever your weather.
Hugs, Rita
PS Thanks for the note, Marla. I am glad you
had a nice Christmas. I am sure you missed
everyone in Wis. and I am sure they missed you,
but you remain "close in heart," right? XOXO
Have a holly jolly Christmas. It's the best time of the year.
Well, I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer.
~ lyrics from "Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas."
Marla,
Sending you good wishes for the weekend.
Big Hugs, Rita
Hi Marla,
Hope you like this. How are you?
Are you going to be home for Christmas,
or will you and Al be "on the road?"
Hope you are enjoying your week, my friend.
Hugs, Rita
