SATURDAY CRITTERS

How about if we travel into this new year, as if we are in charge to the best of our ability, in a kind and caring and yes of course, cautiously safe manner? Don't just live within what everyone tells you, but rather how you feel within your own heart and soul?

The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.

Oprah Winfrey

Excited for a new and enriching administration for America.

No, not palm trees, better. Pine trees reaching into the sky of hopes and dreams.

No, No! The adventures first, explanations take such a dreadful time. Lewis Carroll

It is not down in any map; true places never are. 

Henry Melville

We gladly drank in a welcome of 6 million lights celebrating a warming glow under the open sky along the Apple River set in a winter surrounding you could snap with your fingers. So you warm up by a bonfire and move on under the twinkling stars and slight bite in the air! Feeling the great outdoors and celebrate Sam's Christmas Village and Light Tour in their second year. Enjoy a few photos.

The welcoming crew.

We're on a mission this I know. Into the new year and beyond.

Life is a blank canvas, and you need to throw all the paint on it you can. Danny Kaye

Smiles and giddy laughter is a gift you give yourself.

Hot Chocolate cheers to all!

Child, child do you not see? For each of us comes a time when we must be more than what we are.

Lloyd Alexander 

Indeed the more we find to love, 

the more we add to the measure of our hearts.

Storybook characters we long to see. Keep reading. It's one of the most marvelous adventures that anyone can have. Lloyd again.

Celebrating the Fire Departments everywhere.

We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. 

Lloyd Alexander

Thank you for sharing this time with me and may we find this 2021 a spectacular new year for all!
