#DashingThruChristmas Day 6: Loads of #HolidayRecipe in this hilarious book - my review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-yL - posting in advance as we are doing a road trip to San Diego. 10 hours, baby!
My dad had cancer 3 years ago, did radiation & was in remission. He recently got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer & had his first chemo a few weeks ago, he‘s determined to fight. He finally took the plunge & shaved his head this past weekend. He always had the most beautiful hair. It‘s jarring but he‘s rocking the buzz cut.

away; kick cancer‘s ass — it‘s
gonna be okay.

A good elderly friend and distant relative died on Halloween. I‘m sending her daughter this book. I love Charlie Mackesy books so much. A dear friend on Litsy sent me his first book after a very close friend died during Covid. I‘ve passed on the kindness, giving a copy to a friend when her breast cancer recurred. And now I‘m sending this book. If you ever wonder what to do for someone who‘s grieving & lives at a distance, this book is marvelous
so-soI‘m still invested in this series and finding out what happens, but this wasn‘t the strongest in the series. It‘s getting to be just one traumatic episode after the next! Like, I joked with my mom (we‘ve been listening to these together when we drive to visit my sister) that I should‘ve mentioned reading these when my new therapist asked if I‘ve had any traumatic experiences 😆 But I thought the last few chapters were a solid set up the next book.
pickAs a kid I was obsessed with this book and kept wishing for an enchanted woods near my place!
pickWhat fun to revisit another childhood TV hero: Bob Keeshan aka Captain Kangaroo! This pictorial celebrates 50 years of this groundbreaking show (1955-84) The Captain taught us kids about kindness, diversity & respect. He hosted “Reading Stories” so we could fall in love with books. He & sidekick Mr. Green Jeans even taught us to appreciate nature, animals and our environment. That‘s before being replaced by cartoons/marketing tools to sell toys.🙄
“May this be a place where the laughter of babies is heard, and the gravity of children is answered with loving respect.”
