the streets were filled with sparkly sunbeams as i drove home to start my 48 hour vacation.
the porch was all golden and full of promise.
a halo of light spread out over the roof of my little cottage on the little hill in the middle of the big metropolis.
home to roost. home to a lounging twinset of cats, one almost finished travel journal, stacks of reading, a quiet house with no talking, and no being talked to, a bedful of pillows, a red flannel granny gown gettup, a new dutchoven cookbook, and a delicious winter rain that is beginning tonight. (claps hands and squeals)
In other news... go HERE and read about Aslan the sweet pupper who's trying to find his way from Afghanistan to Virginia. A very worthwhile cause to support I think. You who love animals will enjoy reading about this. Sara, a bloggy friend I happen to adore, is at the center of the story. I'll be mentioning it a lot in the coming weeks as money is raised to bring Aslan to his new home in America.

You can also read about The Afghan Stray Animal League HERE. They are doing good work to help save animals in Kabul.
I've put a widget up in my sidebar if you'd like to contribute.
update: 100% of the money to bring Aslan to America has been raised. thanks for all of your donations!!!

Thank you for sharing Aslan's story. I've sent a donation and will definitely include Aslan and his new family in my prayers for a safe and speedy trip 'home'.
