louise on the left (coast)

"As long as there's sun  As long as there's rain  As long as there's me  As long as there's you..." Float on in sun, rain, wind, in me and in you. Float on in our collective memories.  Of who you were for each us. Thank you for being a graceful angel ushering into our world so very much we needed to see, hear, watch, feel and be inspired by.  You've given us wings with all your inspiration and vision. And from wherever you are now, please - sing on.

My mother has this thing about sending both my girls a new advent calendar every year.  It's very sweet.  This year she sent them early on, in November, 4th Class, USPS. This is how they looked when they arrived late yesterday (12/10/12) Part one: The good news is that both advent calendars finally arrived and brought us much joy -- however thought I'd let folks  know that postage upgrades appears to be worth it. Part two:  Behold our two wonderful advent calendars which survived the crushing blows of the USPS! One is a wonderful Andy Warhol calendar and the other is a NYC advent calendar filled with little windows which each show a little famous NYC iconic image in a pop-up NYC ice skating scene. Both courtesy of my mother who always knows where our hearts are!  Thank you!!!
