Catnip wishes for a Meowy Christmas and
Purr-fect New Year. . .
Decorate every nook, crook & cranny of your home
Cherish the moments, relish the goodies

Until Christmas is over and done
May the joy & festivities continue to radiate in your lives
long after Christmas is gone.

With Halloween approaching, stories of ghosts, goblins and ghouls monopolize the setting as the movie makers try to outdo one another with scenes of blood and gore.
A Step Back in Time
Awakening a few cobwebs with pictures from a night in the 80s. Oh, such a night! What a night it was, what a night it really was! What are your fondest memories of Halloween – laughter or shivers? Who did you profess to be? (Don’t answer these until you have visited Awakenings!)
What if Columbus had not made the decision to venture across the high seas? That was certainly not a walk in the park, a stoll along the beach or a Sunday drive! Throughout the many, many decades of celebration, have you ever thought about the voyage itself? Sure, we celebrate the discovery of America but what did it take for this to truly become a day of celebration? What were some of the conditions and hardships endured while crossing treacherous waters in hopes of one day citing land? The key word here is HOPE with a willingness to TRY and find new land!
Visit Awakenings for some history surrounding Christopher Columbus and Echoes of the Sea. . .
Exploration did not end with America’s discovery. That was only the beginning. Here is some food for thought in the form of a quote from the 1500s:
“We ate only old biscuit reduced to powder, all full of worms and stinking of the
urine that the rats made on it. And we drank water that was yellow and
stinking.”~Antonio Pigatetta 1500s, a sailor aboard the Magellan
Step back in time: Would you have the willingness to try?
