And you're Smiling! I can See the Smile from Seattle! Are you Salivating to get Started Searching? You're not being a Sad Sack now are you? And you're not going to be Sarcastic just because we Savor the moment! Did I mention that it Snowed in Seattle on Sunday? Well, it did. Quite a Stormy Scene!

If I had known when I put this post together I could have added that S is for Snow in Seattle! And we do have lots of it!! Am I a Screwball or what? Well, it's better than Sitting on a Sandbar waiting for my Ship to come in!!! |

What is it about your world that makes you smile or laugh or feel grateful for? Well, it has been a stormy, windy, cold week and they're predicting snow over the next couple of days! But who knows???? The first shot was just an incredibly lucky break taken Saturday evening and it still takes my breath away! And the last shot was taken ten minutes ago, the snow is falling and quite heavily!! If we would learn what the human race really is at bottom, we need only observe it in election times. — Mark Twain |

| Sky mirrors Dry winds and crackling leaves and she looks around the empty trees, stark in the dark.... There is a definite chill, she feels the roughness on her face, brownish in patches; and so she will sit and pine and grow thinner day by day, till a sliver of her old self. Cloud lotions, and Christmas flake moisturizers, coming up soon, make her smile, and touch her face again. There will soon be Dancing with the Stars.... The time for Thanksgiving has come.....
