On a beach.
With a kind man with ocean eyes, a soft and strong heart, and hands large enough to ruin you in the best possible way and massage your feet to help with lingering neuropathy.
And the kind of pickle that makes my mouth go dry.
And yes.We’re 1000% reenacting page thirty-five.And thirty-six.
And maybe the bonus scene in the special edition.
Merry Christmas to us.
And to all the emotionally frayed, yarn-stuffed support vegetables out there: may you find someone who doesn’t flinch when the stuffing shows.Who steadies your hands without ever taking the tools away.Because standing on your own doesn’t mean standing alone.And you’re allowed to be more than someone else’s support pickle...you get to be the main character, too.
Merry Christmas to you.
And Happy Holidays, whatever you’re celebrating.May it be warm.
And a little spicy.

????? A MAGICAL CHRISTMAS STAY AT SALLY'S B&B
PostedbyHEA-Forever-RevieweronTravelLoversForReal.com
Three years ago, I nearly skipped Sally's Historic B&B in Pine Creek due to concerning reports of "plumbing issues."Today, I'm grateful those pipes had their mysterious Christmas magic, as I've returned every December since (and been invited to at least three weddings).
What makes this place special isn't the festive decorations (though the twelve themed Christmas trees are spectacular) or the breakfast (Sally's cinnamon rolls should be nationally recognized).It's the inexplicable way guests leave feeling like they've experienced something real.
Special mention must be made of the newly integrated pet facilities, a revolutionary concept that allows travelers to bring furry family members along for the holiday magic.This innovative approach (developed by former local veterinarian Adam Harrison and nurse extraordinaire Eve Foster Harrison) should become standard practice across the industry.
If you're seeking a truly special Christmas experience, book early, this gem fills quickly, especially the notorious "honeymoon suite".
Pro tip: Ask Sally about her mules' Christmas parade performance.It's not to be missed.

I’m up.Now, tell me: Did you at least clean it properly this time, Dr.Harrison?

I had a very thorough school nurse supervise my wound care.She's kind of bossy about it.Oh, our daughter mentioned arteries earlier today.Randomly.

Our daughter also told her class Santa’s sleigh must be powered by the same instinct dogs use before they poop.Spinning.Realigning.Cosmic poop GPS.That’s all you.
