YumYum Gets SCRUNCHIED!

YumYum loves his new snow-flake hut
in GuineaElfVillage!
And now mom has finally found THE
SCRUNCHY-SPOT after years of
chin scrunchies she never got
his lower lip to just fall down
in blissful relaxation,
exposing his Chompers...

Oh, no, that isn't to say we haven't
seen his chompers BEFORE, it's just
that this time they aren't stuck
IN SOME THING
OR
SOMEONE...
So our appraisal of SnowFlake apres ski Hut
in GuineaElfVillage is a resounding
OMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

OH, ONCE THERE WAS A BARN OWL...AND MOLLY WAS HER NAME

Molly the Owl perched atop her shelf at the only retail bookstore carrying her, far as we know: Village Books in Bellingham, WA. Eric sent a box of books and a million magic feather bookmarks...
all of which are nearly gone! She was a hit with the nature-loving avid, caffeinated readers of the Pacific Northwest...and the Magic Feather bookmarks  flew out the door!

Molly had a way about her: everywhere she flew, MODS around the world threw Cyber- Pajama Parties each cozy in our flannel owl p.j.'s replete with GOODIES GALORE!

And Molly taught us that being an "ordinary barn owl"
was something to celebrate...and we MODS discovered
just how extraordinary she really is and we are hoping
for another clutch in 2012, be still our beating hearts.
Your MODS have kept the faith, Molly!

Props to Eric Blehm and Chris Adams for this
beautiful, true story, and Molly, there never
really was anything ordinary about you!

        You were just being modest, weren't you?

We dreams of Owls Flying...
on Thanksgiving, dropping thanks to those who
have been and continue to give you to loved ones
and villagers around the world!
(See Eric Blehm's FACEBOOK about Molly's international
travels to orphanages in Africa and around the world
where copies are being donated to children
falling as much in love with her as we have.)

Good Night. Sleep Tight.

ThanksPigginPig

Our dear friend south o'here, mk_wa sent us the most perfect picture to capture the spirit of our Pilgrim Pigs about to embark on a New Voyage of Discovery! None of knows what it is yet, but it seems to involve a long-distance romance between our Mask-faced, long-tail-feathered Raj Mahal and a certain Brit named Fairy...the Vicar of Dibley and Winnie the Pooh are also involved, as is Fairy cake-baking, inventing, and an entire host of FairyDusted lovely endeavors leading up to the OlympiGs in London in 2012!

Considering we (sort of, in part, at least kind of) hosted the 2010 WINTER Olympigs in Vancouver, B. C. we are veterans and are here to avail our knowledge of OlympiG Competitions with our Fairy.

(And mum's eyes closed a long time ago.)

Happy Thanksgiving. Why? Because we have every single one of you in our lives!
MIRACLE OF MIRACLE! PapaPie, Gizmomma, so many... it's been a year of
challenges, trials and unimaginable tribble-ations yet here we still are: ALIVE!

Thanks, mk, for such a great pic. Don't blow'way like we are up on the border, dear, and
smooches to 4PAWS. Thank all of you for understanding our limited time online until mom better.

Love,
WHO DO YA THINK AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, HUH?
TAKE A WILD GUESS?
OH, YOU'RE NOT SURE?
REALLY?

"Yum-Yum, dear, was there rum in your fruit cake, sweetheart?"

"no,er, no. good-night, mom, it's just your headache, we love you."

"You're still my boy, Yum-Yum, please wish everyone our love."

"mom, you know we will, you just lie down now, yes, and get that
ice pack just right, oh there you go, mom, you'll feel better in NO TIME!"

"sweet dreams then, piggies."

"nighty-night, mom."

YUM-YUM:
"O.K. WHO SNITCHED ABOUT THE
RUM IN THE FRUIT CAKE?!
GONNA GETCHA, GONNA GETCHA GOOD!"
