Fresca's calendar, Mary's cheesecloth, the monolith moves out

New year, so they say, New calendar from Fresca, every month a delight.

I keep them after the year has been lived- the photos are wonderful and do bring joy all the live long day.

To recap, as we do, the past year has been settling. Staying put, Dennis with health issues, nipped  in the bud but did require some attention and - staying put-ness.

The black monolith is gone. Erik carried it to the THING room in the basement where Dennis has all of his air/space and radio gear. In the process of downloading flight simulator, in which he is the pilot and virtual traveler, he has been  well occupied. It is the real deal and could keep him piloting well into the next century. Pretty sure the space left from the removal of the big black suck will be filled in short order. Dennis has meteorites and geological wonders to shelve.

I asked Fresca, before Christmas, if I should probably clear off the fridge door. Less clutter is better...she advised that NO, there are still some bare spots that want to not be bare. I left it , no one noticed or said , your refrigerator door  is too messed up, at least not to my ear. Quite possible they may have scorned my fridge door out of ear shot.

The grand daughters have always thought this house was fabulously bizarre. Keeka told me that her room is just like my house and she loves it. Ok, then , that is all I need ....

She has a closet of shelves housing bones, animal fur, dead birds, rocks.

She is full of color, that girl! Bright!

Maddie,  is hip and somewhat predictable, though she is the one who is flying around in a metal bucket in the sky, she is more dove grey. Nothing genetic, as these are my step son's children, not a drop of  my  blood in the works.

Pity that I can not take credit for anything other than a cray refrigerator door.

The lamb that came with the smirking cat in the mail, had a terribly injured foot. Nat straight away got out her fix everything kit , stitched the foot , Others helped calm the lamb and cheer her on, while foot became somewhat better.

marginally mo-betta - still recovering from surgery , bundled in cheese cloth from Mary Moon's Fruit cake, they all go for a stroll across the table. Donkeys pushing as best they are able, straw and mohair moves slowly.

We will be keeping the twinkly lights and candles until spring I reckon. Light is essential !

this is where the monolith lives now- the bridge? The command center? The retired guy's dream? Almost, he would rather have his plane for real but health of the man said, NOPE. And THAT is a good thing!! He can crash or fall from the sky without injury or metal bits stabbing him.  No blood, no fuel, no jet lag, Brilliant invention.

On we go - another episode- New year -  a contrivance but we like to mark things like that- we humans. Keeping track in our calendar , clock way.  Have a great twelve months and a rabbitty year of the rabbit. All is well, all will be well, as we  turn every month of Fresca's calendar , Girlettes exemplifying optimism and industry and good will.That's how we roll.
