Shopping Local and Living Seussisms

Take it from the "Guide to Life for those just starting out and those already on their way" there's something warmhearted in sharing Seuss-isms. There is!



You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut. - Dr. Seuss

Kid. You'll move mountains. - Dr. Seuss


Being King of the Mountain suits us well!


 This year more than ever I'm shopping local when possible to help keep our smaller businesses in business! 



We've been enjoying, Great Harvest Bread for years.  Of course some things have changed. Before COVID-19 they always had samples to enjoy! Not anymore. 




Silly you, toy shops are for everyone.

Never Underestimate the Power of One.
A person's a person, no matter how small. -Horton Hears a Who!





Sometimes the questions are hard and the answers are simple. - Dr. Seuss



Unless, someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
 nothing is going to get better. It's not. - From the Lorax





One day they realized they weren't meant to be anything but a Gnome.
But everyone knows there's Gnome place like home for the holidays,
especially when you share it with Gnomes.





People who make you laugh have such an invaluable price in your life.
 - Alfredo Cano


A toy a day-

or a paint brush, or crayon, or piece of wood to carve, or a song to sing, or bird to see any day, keeps sadness away.



Everett and Charlie
Art Gallery

They feature local artists and this last Saturday I had the pleasure of hearing a violinist audition.  He played fantastically.



Creativity is as important as literacy. 
Sir Ken Robinson




Do you have any idea how much joy arrives from a stone or a shell?




The happiest adults are those who never buried old toys or abandoned imaginary friends.
Richelle E. Goodrich




Life is not life at all without delight.
Coventry Patmore
and sometimes that delight comes from a huge scoop of Pavarotti ice cream!



Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream our go to place since 1991!




We should strive to treat each other with Common Human Decency. 

Dr. Seuss



Why fit in when you were born to stand out. - Dr. Seuss

Be gentle with yourself. Think less and feel more.
 Be as happy as you can. You only have this moment.
 - Dan Millman

Today's the day to make someone feel better.

Thanks for sharing your time with me.
Take good care of you.









When you support small business

you're supporting a dream.

Dr Seuss was a very, very wise man. I am so grateful that he left us words to live by - and that he was a firm believer in FUN.
