I first published this in 2009. 33 people read it. Thank you to everyone who was here then and is here now, to those of you who found me through Time Goes By, or after 2011, or from real life.... real real life from 7th grade or the neighborhood or blood ties, and to those of you who stumbled in and never left. The Burrow is my gift to myself. I love that you share it with me.... that is the best gift of all.
So, here, as always, courtesy of Daddooooo and Newsday's comics section and my own lusty if off-key memories, is.....

I recognize that pop-up page from a book that I have, but it's stored away at the storage unit. I knew the grandkids wouldn't be here so I didn't even take the christmas books out. It was nice seeing the santa on your page.
ReplyDeleteQueen T inspired me to take out every single box of ornaments and decor. I'm using the installation to remove detritus.
