What am I?

In the course of an email correspondence with a loom knitter in the Netherlands, we got around to talking about spiritual paths. I mentioned that I was a pagan and the daecabhir is a Buddhist. When she asked me to explain about what being pagan meant, I told her a little bit about it, but not much. Her reply blew me away ...

"You’re an Earth Wisdom Keeper. How wonderful! Teamed up with a Buddhist. That’s very special."

Indeed.

The first of three holiday gatherings

Today we were joined by njzoomom, dreamtigress, 1painter42, and Wilma for a holiday meal and gift exchange. We enjoyed prime rib (daecabhir dined on a Quorn roast), feta-pasta salad, broccoli-potato-cheese casserole, sage bread baked by 1painter42, baked brie, cheesecake and other assorted yummies things. Lots of fantastic presents were exchanged and much fun was had.

The yet-to-be-named puppy is down to just a few accidents in the house per day. During present time he curled up at my feet, wedged in between a pile of gifts and the couch. Duchess tolerates him mostly, but sometimes they cuddle up together. Auntie Justine has taught the pup all about ice cubes and he adores them.
