Today is St. Nicholas Day. We celebrated this in Belgium. I remember singing the song that Santa sings to the Dutch girl in Miracle on 34th street. I remember doing a performance with the kids in my school, in the church in our village. It was packed, and I remember the burlap bag of chocolate coins and sticks we got. I wish that I had some clogs to have left out last night! Well, I have tiny ceramic ones ion my shadow box!
Here is a link to a page about St. Nicholas.

Only 15 days and a wake up until we go to Denver! And, the pajamas that I found for "the kids to give to me" (LOL) still fit, despite my late night snacking habit of late... So, YAY!
It is still cold, no snow like we were threatened with. My Grrrl is sick in bed, I hope she is in bed. I hope that she will be better soon, I hope that she will understand why I could not stay home and take care of her today.
Well, that is all, my break is over now, so I better get back to it. I am doing someone else's job today, on top of my own... Grrr!
