just here -------------------->
so I don't have to leave and go back to my nasty University accomodation

Home is where the is.

Now that I look 40 years old in the face--I have some very fond memories of my college years.
The orange crate furniture--the instant coffee--

BTW--I meant to send you an extra ---keep it in case you run short.
This Virgo always keeps a fully stocked pantry. You never know when you might need extra.

Peace,

Searching

Hey ---the "X" was supposed to be a heart---I don't know what I hit---

that's ok searching *giggles* I never did get the hang of the 'heart-posting' so the heart-fever swept away and left me behind...
Uni is great... waking up at 3am dehydrating from too much beer the night before, shared bathrooms between 20... food that looks like prison left-overs *grins*
mind over matter
mind over matter
I'm acually having a great time *smiles*
I just thought I could stay here for a while

Pull up a chair and stay as long as you like, Cobwebsoul. Or curl up over there in the corner and take a nap ... nobody will mind!

Searching, you just had an extra ">" stuck in the middle of your IMG tag, I fixed it for you!

Bless you Dear Gregory

Cobwebsoul--ah yes I remember well the midnight jaunts to the sink for water---

How's this?

Eeewwww, ignore that. It looked really cute in the Reply box, but when it submitted, it removed all of my extra spaces and now it looks all squashed up

I think it's adorable! Can I book a room?
MoonLadyC

minxsmon hehe it's adorable *curls up on the bed*
Can I have a free room if I look after the kitty kat? *smiles*

I need to ask some questions first, ..
1. can I bring my gliders with me? I couldn't bear to leave them behind.
2. Can I leave all my troubles at the door by the trashcan? I swear I will take them out in the morn.
3. Can I have as many of my LindaLand friends stay with me? Or is there a limit as to how many in each room?
4. You can keep the bed for someone who may need an extra, I just wanna curl up by the fire.
5. What is the cost of each room? All I have is love and smiles to offer.

L ri

1. Of course you can bring your gliders with you, we are all high flyers at this hotel.

2. You may leave your troubles at the door, but don't be surprised if someone has emptied the trashcan when you get ready to retrieve them.

3. The more friends the merrier.

4. Curling up by the fire is encouraged.

5. Love and smiles are the only acceptable currency. Your change will be twice as much as you pay.

Greg

wheeeee!

can we actually rent a room for an extended stay?
i'd also like to include my furry children.
curling up by the fire sounds mighty wonderful - amongst all the pillows, woolies, blankies and such of dogland.
sigh.....
staying put right here ...

greg - i forgot to tell you, keep the change -smiles-

At the suggestion of my little Minx, I have made some improvements to the hotel.

The wall near the main fireplace has been covered over in sisal so that the entire wall will be one big scratching post.

We have also installed an automtic tennis ball server so that the puppies can play fetch all day without you wearing out your arms.

------------------
powerful words, that ring with truth
words that sing, forsooth!
yes, words that ring and words that sing
words of spring and every good thing...like kitties =^..^=

minxsmom

clapping and cheering - plus a few howls thrown in. scout's honor the pups won't bother the kitties -
big red politely asked for a self dispensing treat canister. i said only if he leaved the kitties alone. aw, shucks, i was going to show them how to use it mom - said he.
here's to sisal and tennis balls
xx
t

*curls up by the fire*

Kitty spies with star-lit eyes and sweet goodbyes
kitty flies with butterflies and lullabies..

I'll bring my paints and we'll paint our dreams on the walls...
we'll each have a candle that burns when we leave the hotel and venture into the troublesome world out there..

we'll have no rules.. no time... just space and words and dreams...

=^..^=
*purrrrs*

Minxsmom, my gliders would love the Sisle wall, and this hotel is just what I need for my little private getaway, what better place could there be, to end a day at?

Just wanted to stop by with a pot of tea for all to share while we rest and dream. . .

Ahhh, yes. . .I can already feel all problems floating away. Is that fairy dust shimmering on everyones' head?? It must be!!

Peace,
~artifax~

mmmmm......apple tea *smiles* so nice...

how wonder*full, a never ending pot of tea for all to share. mmmm. maybe, we should have this as an online commune instead of hotel! please pass the moondust ...
xx
t

*passes the fairy dust*
I think artifax has the moondust... will this do? *smiles*

*installs a deck*
let's all gather on the deck and allow the glorious moonlight to coat our souls. . .and I believe the tea is still fresh

*sits on a star*
hey...come up... the view is soooo much better from up here

*hitches a ride to cobwebsoul's star*
Wow, your right, it's beautiful up here. . .

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 ...
am i late, is there any cake left? i brought my pup, is it alright if he curls up with me in the beanbag? he did bring some kitty treats to share. i can only stay a moment, i'm off to vacation-land to see my hubby. thanks for letting me take a breather here!
c'mon nuke, let's go - one sleepy blue eyes me, aw mom - do we gotta?
thanks for the company, the cake and the tea
bounding out leaving a trail of moondust and treats behind ...
see you all soon, when i'm back!
xx
t

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

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 ...

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? "

*tiny little mouse quietly scampers to her friend, searching, and covers her with a blanket of Angel Feathers and wispers*

This should keep you warm until you are ready to wake up. You may want to rest until the clock strikes 15.

Blessed Be

Freebird

* "Thanks" she whispers and snuggles down into the Blessed Warmth.
Sigh. She 's and closes her eyes again to the sound of Peace that fills the air.

Oh, Searching, you really should wake up and revil in the Magic. Did you see it? Did you see what I hung on the door? I went for a walk today and found 3 apple trees by an abandoned house and they were just full of blossoms. I asked the trees very politely and they said I could have all the sprigs I wanted. They were so happy to have someone to talk to. They said no one had been by to visit them for such a long time. And then they told me where to find some more Magic. I looked and found a tiny purple hyacinth. Isn't it precious? I'm on my way to plant it with the ferns and wild mint. I'm sure you will find pleanty of cake left. I think Minxmom is celebrating her un-birthday.

*blows kisses as she runs for the tiny back door*

Freebird

*The scent of apple blossoms fill the air.
She wakes and stretches. Beginning her Virgo Replay Tape in her head--she leaps to her feet and shakes it off.
Walking outside---breathing the air---clean from the storm the nightS before.

Crocus'!
Hyacynths!
Tulips!
Daffodills!
Green buds on the Lilacs!!

ROBINS ON THE LAWN!!!!!
HEEEELLOOOOO SWEET SPRING BIRD!!!

ThankyOu ThankyOu Sweet Freebird for reminding me that spring always cOmes.!!
