I just brewed a great big pot of peppermint tea. And, I brought out some extra fluffy blankets incase anyone is chilly.

::curls up with Minx in one of the blankets, sips some tea, and watches cobwebsoul and artifax float up in the stars::

Uh Knowflakes??

Can I come too?
She peeks around the corner---
"They might not need me --but they might.
I'll let my head be just in sight.
A smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity."

This Virgo is truly too tired. Full of insommnia and tension.

Tea sounds nice.

Here ya go, hope you like peppermint - just the thing for tension.
And, here's a nice fuzzy blanket. Pull up a deck chair, and just relax.
Doesn't the moon look beautiful
tonight?

If you don't want to just sit on the deck, I think Cobwebsoul and Artifax took a trip to that star right there. No, not that one. The one just to the right of it.

I think that we should build a huge bookcase in the lobby across from the main fireplace. We could put all of Linda's books there - enough copies so that we could each have one (it'll make it easier when we want to read them together). What do you think?

Hey! Let's have a party! I brought
the cake!

hey artifax *giggles* they have CHOCOLATE cake! *flies back and snuggles with minx*
hey little kitty... want some cake? *purrrrrs*
searching?...where are you?..course we need you here

I hope there is still some cake left, cobwebsoul!!

I'll be there in a jiff. . .just need to stop by the store and pick up some party favors

searching, don't be afraid to come out and play. . .there's room for everyone

Minxsmom, the bookcase sounds great I'll start with Gooberz!

hair flying wildly ...

Tikinoo, have a GREAT time in vacation-land! We'll keep your seat warm for you!

Ah Peppermint tea and CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!

Nothing heals like chocolate

I brought my fuzzy slippers-my tea cozy--and some extra wood for the fire---*stacks it neatly by the fire --in order of size---takes a moment to turn the fire and warm her hands---looks out the window----*

Hey if Artifax and Cobwebsoul are on that star over there--then who is sitting on that crest of the Moon?
I must lOOk clOser------

Oh what a view!!!!Just what this tired list writer needs-----

If it is okay with you' all I think I'll just curl up here by the fireplace, watch my babies here at play, and relish in the serinity of the moment and remember my loves in my past lives..and dream of what may be in store for me around the next corner...I have brought a trashcan , to dump my problems into as I came in the door, could someone tell me how often it is picked up.. I hate to see them pile up..

Hi Every Buddy *smiles bashfully*

I'm Taurus the Bull...I promise I won't break anything Can I join your party? I brought a surprise

A Big Bag of Catnip Here Kitty Kitty

No, I didn't forget fresh Bones

Bull loves Flowers and kitties and puppies and the stars. Do you see me? I am riding the tale of the Comet. Quick...grab my tale...it's so much fun

Follow Your Heart
Pat/\ A TP

LOri--

Gregory says that the trash cans full of problems seem to disappear here.

*Sprinkles some of Cobwebsouls fairy dust--smiles --blows the extra on her hands off the deck into the night sky---it dances in the moonlight in little fairy bubbles*

Have some cake---it's magic cake ---there's always some to share. Tea?

Everyones lives whisked them away on a breeze--or a wind.

It is time to re-visit the Hotel.
And each other.

Dearest Cobwebsoul---

May I borrow from your beautiful writing style?

* She opens the door. It creaks. She pulls out her purse size WD40 LOL --she oils the door.
She crosses the room and opens the deck doors. Moonlight and Starlight flood the room.
She surveys the room---list clicking in her mind.
She checks the troubles barrel at the door.
She stokes up the fire--and lights the candles --blowing the spent fairy dust into the air.
She gathers up more fairy dust from Cobwebsouls pouch and blows it from her fingers off the deck.
It flutters off into the Moonlight--little pixie fairies to whisper invitations to knowflakes everywhere.

She fluffs the puppy and kitty blankets and fill the treat bin.
She puts the teapot on and dusts off Linda's books.

Then when everything is just right---she makes a magic potion---a beautiful mixture of Morning Storms' Ocean--scented with apple blossoms from Freebird's Tree.
All Lovingly mixed together with Moonglows Magic Heart Powder.("Spread it around and it Glows and Grows" )

She carefully dips all of her Dream Catchers into the Mixture--and then spins them like Frisbies off the deck.

As they soar through the air they rain little drops of good deeds all around our magical hotel.

She hangs a Hummingbird feeder and puts out a little bowl of water for the Dragonflies--and settles down in a deck chair to wait. *

searching and all the knowflakes in the Hotel ...
ah, a breeze blew me back in town - frazzled from her weary travels, she slips quietly back in, by the fire among friends. thank you for fluffing the puppy blankets and filling the treat bowl, the pups were lonely for awhile, now they want to play. as she helps herself to some tea, she reaches in her bag and gives the love and happiness she brought back from her travels to other galaxies. it's good to be back, thanks to all for making the homecoming wonderful she mumbles thru puppy dog tails ...

tiki"tiki"noo

As "Astro" says "RawRoh"

Scooby Snacks coming up!

It was 3:00 in the morning. I woke up from an unsettling dream. I couldn't remember all of it, but knew my Higher Self was trying to tell me something. I went to the kitchen and fixed mys-ELF a cup of hot milk and honey when I thought I could smell an Ocean breeze and was that Apple Blossums too? I decided to follow my nose because sometimes, it knows more than I do. It led me here to this wonderful hotel full of LOverly souls. I droped my troubles in a handy-dandy trash can and turned mys-ELF into a little tiney mouse. No one knew I was here, not even the kitty cats. *a tiny mousey giggle* I scampered all over the place, exploring every nook and cranny until I found this little tiney door. It was just my size and surely it was meant for me to go through and see what was on the other side. It screeked a tiny screek when I opened it, but no one but me heard it. It opened to a LOvely garden full of ferns and flowers. I've been hiding under a mushroom, nibbling on the sweetest wild mint and soaking up the atmosphere. I feel so much better now. I couldn't find the Inn Keeper, so I'll just leave my little hearts on the table by the front door as I leave. Next time I will bring some pink Apple scented candles for the mantel above the fireplace. I might even have a piece of that festive cake. I do love chocolate, you know.

Freebird

I have a lovely block of Muenster cheese that would go just spendidly with that Mint from the garden.
Would you like some? I also have some Co-Jack--oh I'll put them both out for you---
Do you see the tiny china plate by the door?

Help yourself!!

Love to you!!!

Cobwebsoul---
I am honored.

*Tickles you with the feather under the chin*
I am not worthy---*hands it back-shyly*

Thanks tho'

I like the way you write better.

Dani

*Little Mouse wipes chocolate icing from her wiskers*
Oh, Searching, what a lOverly surprise! I don't know what I enjoy more; cheese or surprises. I'll be sure to return your plate. It looks like very expensive china to me.
I brought the candles, but I couldn't find any Apple scented ones. Will Honeysuckle do? I'll just have to wait until my tree blooms and then I will bring a Springtime wreath of Apple Blossums. It won't be long now. The leaves are already trying to sprout. Don't you just LOVE Springtime?

Freebird

*giggles at searching*

*sits and stares at the flame of the candle*

Gregory... did you not get my email?
I asked you to foward it to MoonLadyC

* Her inner alarm goes off-----uh oh--it's a Mercury Retrograde foul up----"what where who when why? ---Oh. That. OK" She sighs.

She rises and goes to the deck. She smells the air----ooh---several foul ups.
Delays delays delays.

She frets and stews---" I told them all to plan ahead!!!!--If you need a half hour to get it done--save an hour for the job!!!!Is that so hard?"
Trains running slow----wait wait wait. Not your turn! next time you go.
"no I don't have the receipt--the register ate it---Yes I know why!! Damn Mercury Retrograde!! I told you!
"Well the power went out --so I overslept--Look I'm lucky I woke up at all--------"
"Did you print the flyers?---No the printer quit for some reason" "What happened to the note from the teacher---it was right here!!"
What do you mean Band Fesitval is THIS weekend--you did'nt tell me that!!!---Yes I did!!!!! Remember when you were trying to get through to that 800 number and the phone kept hanging up? Right before you threw the phone across the room--I told you right then----"

Uh Knowflakes?
I have to go-------

A chorus of MOMMY is heard through the twighlight---she turns and studies the room--blow kisses to all of you---and flys off to save her family from themselves.

Dani

*Little Mouse hiding under a fern leaf, holding her sides that shake with laughter, tears running down her tiny cheeks and she wispers* "I'm not coming out until March 15th. It should be a Magical day, you know."

Freebird

*She runs determinedly through the thunderstorm--ignoring her fear of lightning
knowing that once long ago sometimes forgotten --until it storms--that lightning had been her end.
Hair whipping and stinging her eyes she runs toward the fairy dust that glimmers in the streaks of light spurred on faster and faster by the thunder that shakes up through the ground jarring her legs with every step.
Hail beats on her head and her mind churns with the conversations of the last few days---voices that won't stop yelling and fighting
She runs and runs toward the door and makes it as one last crash of thunder seems to chase at her ankles she slams the door behind her.
Wet and bedraggled.
Bruised and bleeding
Gasping for air
She leans against the door and slowly sags to the ground weeping.
As she falls asleep in exhausted tears in the doorway she is heard to say--

" Is there any cake left? "
