@bichon18,

I think he may need his toes clipped. I know after the bath he will feel and smell great.
Let me know how that goes for him. Did you enjoy the magic of Heidi Daus? I know I did
and I watched every show. Amy I have love and wore Heidi Daus for the last 14 years and
that is long time with one designer. 🙂 I hope to be with her for many more years. My eye
is on the collectors Box of beautiful pins. ♥ I already have 3 collectors boxes of pins she
did a couple years ago. ♥

I know you are tired so I will say goodnight to you. ♥

The Little Thief in the Pantry
by Anonymous

A Little Thief in the Pantry is in the collection A Christmas Hamper: A Volume of Pictures and Stories for Little Folks, published in 1889 by T. Nelson and Sons by various unattributed authors. It’s a lesson about perspective, and a little girl’s compassion for a mouse who learns the difference between stealing and giving. Most importantly, obey your mother!

“MOTHER dear,” said a little mouse one day, “I think the people in our house must be very kind; don’t you? They leave such nice things for us in the larder.”

There was a twinkle in the mother’s eye as she replied,—

“Well, my child, no doubt they are very well in their way, but I don’t think they are quite as fond of us as you seem to think. Now remember, Greywhiskers, I have absolutely forbidden you to put your nose above the ground unless I am with you, for kind as the people are, I shouldn’t be at all surprised if they tried to catch you.”

Greywhiskers twitched his tail with scorn; he was quite sure he knew how to take care of himself, and he didn’t mean to trot meekly after his mother’s tail all his life. So as soon as she had curled herself up for an afternoon nap he stole away, and scampered across the pantry shelves.

Ah! here was something particularly good to-day. A large iced cake stood far back upon the shelf, and Greywhiskers licked his lips as he sniffed it. Across the top of the cake there were words written in pink sugar; but as Greywhiskers could not read, he did not know that he was nibbling at little Miss Ethel’s birthday cake. But he did feel a little guilty when he heard his mother calling. Off he ran, and was back in the nest again by the time his mother had finished rubbing her eyes after her nap.

She took Greywhiskers up to the pantry then, and when she saw the hole in the cake she seemed a little annoyed.

“Some mouse has evidently been here before us,” she said, but of course she never guessed that it was her own little son.

The next day the naughty little mouse again popped up to the pantry when his mother was asleep; but at first he could find nothing at all to eat, though there was a most delicious smell of toasted cheese.

Presently he found a dear little wooden house, and there hung the cheese, just inside it.

In ran Greywhiskers, but, oh! “click” went the little wooden house, and mousie was caught fast in a trap.

When the morning came, the cook, who had set the trap, lifted it from the shelf, and then called a pretty little girl to come and see the thief who had eaten her cake.

“What are you going to do with him?” asked Ethel.

“Why, drown him, my dear, to be sure.”

The tears came into the little girl’s pretty blue eyes.

“You didn’t know it was stealing, did you, mousie dear?” she said.

“No,” squeaked Greywhiskers sadly; “indeed I didn’t.”

Cook’s back was turned for a moment, and in that moment tender-hearted little Ethel lifted the lid of the trap, and out popped mousie.

Oh! how quickly he ran home to his mother, and how she comforted and petted him until he began to forget his fright; and then she made him promise never to disobey her again, and you may be sure he never did.

Mary Poppins

It’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay

Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad
My father gave me nose a tweak
And told me I was bad

But then one day I learned a word
That saved me achin’ nose
The biggest word I ever heard
And this is how it goes, oh

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay

He traveled all around the world
And everywhere he went
He’d use his word and all would say
There goes a clever gent

When Dukes and Maharajahs
Pass the time of day with me
I say me special word
And then they ask me out to tea

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay

No, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus
But that’s going a bit too far, don’t you think?

So when the cat has got your tongue
There’s no need for dismay
Just summon up this word
And then you’ve got a lot to say

But better use it carefully
Or it could change your life
For example, yes, one night I said it to me girl
And now me girl’s my wife, oh, and a lovely thing she’s too

She’s, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

@loaf,

Your granddaughter will be so pleased. Sad about Penny Marshall. May she RIP.
We are losing a lot of people.

THE WAITRESS IS WHAT KERI IS IN . YES THE HOLIDAY BARBIE I BOUGHT IT LAST WEEK AT WALMART . ITS A BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS DOLL LOVE THE RED DRESS .

Hi Sheba;

The pin set looks like such fun. Yes, Heidi is the ultimate salesperson and the best part she sells what she loves and herself.

So, today I had an appointment a scant two miles from the SFA Off Fifth store. Knowing this I brought $600.00 worth of gift certificates from a birthday two years ago and……I left with $60 because the store manager gave me an additional 10%. There are no real names so included In my stash is the three piece deco set in the champagne color. Sip sip. I also got the rose necklace with black beading and the earrings to match. There are a pair of red earrings and a light purple shade to match something else. A veritable haul.

Ari and I are waiting for a friend of mine who wants to meet him. On Thursday; he gets his first professional Bathie. I just need him to stop licking his feet. Any ideas?

@taci,

I know you are busy this time of the season. Thinking of you and Happy Trails. ♥

@loaf,

Good morning are you done shopping? Wait a minute I saw the doll your granddaughter
wanted it was at Tuesday Morning I went shopping for linens I spied it. I hope she gets it.
