Looking Out the Window On A Blustery Day

There’s a gorgeous storm brewing outside my windows. Wind shaking the rest of the Fall leaves from branches and beating them against the house. The occasional snowflake and small animal blowing past. (Okay, no animals. Only small children.) It reminds of of sitting in my dad’s study in Maryland and reading from our Childcraft collection of books when it was too cold to go outside and play. Those were great books. There was one that was just clever poetry for children. This was one of my favorites. Perhaps I’m hungry:

The Tea Party (Without Glenn Beck)
I had a little tea party
This afternoon at three
‘Twas very small
Three guests in all
Just I, myself, and me.
Myself ate up the sandwiches
While I drank up the tea.
‘Twas also I who ate the pie
And passed the cake to me.
Awww. I’m going to go make some pie. And maybe a bit of orange ginger tea.

My greatest pleasure in life has been raising my four excellent children--some of whom liked me so much that they keep coming back. My second greatest pleasure has been doing whatever I can to make people laugh and create bright moments. I hope to do a bit more good in the world before I go the way of it. And if not, I'd better at least get to spend some serious time writing and singing in a castle somewhere in the UK.
