Squiggles in Wonderland

Humongous dork that I am, I took a bunch of screenshots during the February Queen of Hearts adventure in Finch and am forcing the possibly two readers I have to tolerate them. 

Look at Isabella's Sheep!! Looks like this lil' birb drank some magic potion...

And now it looks like Sheep had some special cake and shrunk down to be itty bitty!

Bella in The Highlands

Ever since I found out about The Highlands of Scotland, I've longed to go. Bella beat me to it. In going through allllllllllll the photos and videos on my cell and trying to delete dupes and what not, I came across a few of the mini movies she recorded on her trip in April of 2024. Here's a little patchwork clip I came up with of the best ofs.

An Ideal Cottage

In my perfect life, the one I daydream about multiple times per day, I have a nice sized plot of land in a quiet part of Chester County, PA. On it sits a pond and a quaint home surrounded by woods. Secluded and safe. Tucked into a corner of the woods I imagine a sweet little guest house. Seeing this home on Instagram made me think that this would be the perfect addition to my dream life; a place for friends and family to stay for a visit whenever they wanted.

Back in the Fall of 2022 there was a cool installation by artist Adam Chau at one of the Grounds for Sculpture buildings.

Reading this earlier in the year has really helped me change the way I view myself. I'm not overly concerned with looking old, I've always been more concerned with how I am viewed by others. Even still, I do have moments where I have unkind thoughts and words about my body. I don't appreciate that my breasts aren't where they were when I was in my twenties, that my legs now have some little purple lines, and my hands resemble the desert sand more and more. I do love my body and although I'm insecure about my current weight, I still think I look really sexy when I'm a nudie-pie. But there are times I long to have my mid-30s body - fit, strong, supple, with a remaining blush of youthfulness. Now when I see myself and wish I looked "better" AKA younger, I think of this quote. I think of it and remember that I'm fifty and look it and there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking old or being old. It's thinking old that I don't ever want to be a part of. I'm so grateful to this gal for planting this in my world.
