A First Post

The Green Velveteen... The idea behind it comes from the story of The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.  It was a favorite of mine when I was younger.  I still remember watching the slide show version when I was in elementary school.  The tape would beep when it was time to advance to the next slide.  For some reason, I never received the honor of being the "Slide Controller".... Yep, I'm still pretty upset about it.  In anycase, the story is pretty meaningful in several ways.   I think there is a magic to it that tells us there is life in everything around us.  Then it goes on to say that there is always a chance for a new beginning.

This is going to be a short first post because I have a grand adventure planned for the day.  Autumn and I are taking a road trip to Eureka Springs.  We are pretty excited about it and ready to get started on the journey.  Although her hair looks like a bird's nest, complete with tinsel, she already has her shoes on and is ready to go.  I think we will get dressed and dry our clothes first though.

Hopefully more to come,

Rochelle
