I have chronic puppy magic syndrome - when a tiny pup snuggles up to your neck and goes to sleep - when, for the first time, he asks to go out instead of peeing on the floor - when he trusts you above anyone else on earth - such an honour. Tis for me anyway.

This was a lovely post Marie

What a lovely post today! I like your kind of magic. The gingerbread sounds great, but what is almond meal? I have never seen it in the US. Or could I just grind up almonds very finely to the specified amount?

Once again a beautiful post.

Many things you mentioned are my kind of magic. I want to share with a special moment from my day. A few short hours ago I watched my middle child sing in a trio. As they are teenagers there were a few glitches but these girls have such tight harmony. It made my spine tingle and that is another kind of magic. It was a choral concert and they were special guests. I also enjoyed the ladies' choir too. It is early for Christmas carols but it was wonderful to hear bells and voices proclaiming the special gift of the season.

I have another moment of pure magic. In 1988 during World Expo I had the pleasure of hearing the Tabernacle Choir sing on July 4. The concert was brilliant but here we are 21 years later and I still get the tingles and shivers when I remember them singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Now that was MAGIC. One day I must get a cd. One of the members gave me a tape and I wore it out.

I hope you have a lovely day.
