Postcard Friendship Friday


Seven days until Christmas!
Time is flying by.
All the packages have been mailed -- yeehaw!
Time to sit, cuddle under a blanket with the kitties, have some eggnog, enjoy some old movies.
Rest, relax, read, dream.





Here's Santa on his rocking horse.
As the horse rocks, you can see more of the village behind Santa.



This is my favorite of the reproduction postcards I found on Galveston Island.




Wishing you well and a JOY filled weekend.

Kuan Yin

Image from Dharma Crafts


Kuan Yin is the Bodhisattva of compassion. Her name means "she who hears the cries of the world". Depicted here in three aspects, she holds a lotus flower symbolizing the innate purity of the Buddha nature, a sutra symbolizing the enlightened wisdom of the Dharma, and a mala, or rosary, symbolizing the vow of the Bodhisattva to save all beings from suffering.

When Mr. Dragon and I started on this journey called cancer, we knew the odds were stacked against us with a 30% survivor rate at three years. The latest news is not good and after much thought, Mr. Dragon has decided against further therapy. So now we enter the final journey for him. From the stars we come and to the stars we will return. We ask, once again, to send your prayers, good thoughts, white light as we complete this journey.

Wishing you well.

Pass the Yarn Please!



I've been catching up with my email and look what I found.
Crochet patterns from Lily using their Sugar N Cream cotton yarn.
Aren't they wonderful?

The Elf is named Lily, the coaster has a wonderful candy cane pattern and the Santa holds a tag.

My favorite pattern is the one for the reindeer ornament.
I have a thing for reindeer!
One of the stockings is knit and the other crochet.
I almost forgot the Santa ornament.

Pass the Yarn Please! I'm all ready for some more fun hooking!

Mr. Dragon has an appointment with his oncologist Monday and we'll see what the word is on further treatment. 
Thank you again for all your prayers, white light, juju, vibes, hugs, emails.
We really do appreciate all your support.

Wishing you well and a JOY filled week.
