Wow! Your amaryllis is truly beautiful and I can understand how it warms your spirit. I have to say I also can't live without my hot water bottle - an electric heating pad just don't do as well - they are fairly expensive here, too. Ah, but what a gift you have given me to share the joys of the calendula (sp) lotion! I suffer terribly with dry skin and have resorted to making my own "stuff", however it is in oil form and I understand the lotion actually draws moisture to the skin and the oil keeps it in! <br /><br />I have missed our visits, but I am also working my way back....thank you so much for being such a dear friend. Together we will get your friend connected with her friend in Christchurch. I will focus my meditations hard on that happening.<br /><br />Peace, my friend!Kimhttp://kimrodefferfunk.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-70333196394800936292011-02-23T09:54:17.246-05:002011-02-23T09:54:17.246-05:00I came over from Willows Blog and I LOVE your post...I came over from Willows Blog and I LOVE your posts...(and those hand sewn slippers)stay warm!Words A Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423263654771820182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-78516628502328131072011-02-22T11:58:50.793-05:002011-02-22T11:58:50.793-05:00Nice, the comforts of winter!

I have been using a hot water bottle for an "ache" and it's virtures have been forgotten in this modern world.<br /><br />Love the slippers and the amarylis reminds me of my mom. She used to buy one for me every Xmas. Somehow I have forgotten to do this now that she's gone.

The wind tore through me like a knife. I had to stay in. As a matter of fact I had hardly any sleep the night before because of the loud, forceful wind that left me so tired I napped twice. I hardly ever nap.<br /><br />But today promises temps near forty. What a blessing as I spend the day with Mim and KJ.<br /><br />I love your slippers. I'd leave them on all winter! And I never think of using a hot water bottle. Great idea for pet's beds too!<br /><br />The ammarylis is a beauty. I'll bet it just makes the space radiate.<br /><br />Happy Wednesday Suki.
