"Hidey Hole Happiness"

As most of my early followers know

we have a fairy at our house.

He changes on a whim at the beginning

of each Season.

He is just magic that way.

He hangs right above the stairway

that leads up to the bedrooms.

Built into the pockets created by the steps

are 2 little "hidey holes"

that you can read about here.

Last week one day I noticed that SweetCheeks

was sitting on the steps and talking

(to herself I assumed because she has

many imaginary friends)

However, later that week when she came to visit

she peeked into her "hidey hole" and

she started to cry.

I wondered what was the matter.

"Nana-I telled that fahree that I doan whant

eny morah ribbons or bows.

I telled him I whanted candy or sumfin like dat!"

Oh...that stinking fairy never breathed a word!

Remind me to put a little extra plastic wrap

over his nose when he goes for his

Seasonal nap!

So, Monday just before we left,

Princess Snow White came to visit.

Indeed she did.

AND she had on her new SnowWhite shoes. The game plan goes like this..

rush in--kiss the Nana

then rush to the hidey hole to see

what the resident fairy has left.

I see a slight bit of hesitation this time.

A bit of trepidation mixed in with

curiosity....She opens the door

ever so s-l-o-w-l-y.Look! I think it's one of those grins..

You know the one...the one that says..

Hey! What's up with this...

I think I am pleased but I'm not

going to let you know exactly how pleased

I am yet....you know...kinda like when the

old boy takes the garbage out...

after you've only asked twice...

yeah...that look....

Oooh...she sits down and laughs..

THIS is good!

Really, really good!

What did you get, SweetCheeks?

Look-I'll show you...

I gotta suckah...a suckah shaped like a

flip flop...

Nana-that is one CRAZY fahree!Oh...baby...you don't know the half of it !
