Once You Start, It's Hard To Stop

It is very hard for me not to use every decent animated free graphic available online. Once I start pasting them on to my web site, it is very difficult for me to know when to stop. In the past, my daughters have restrained me. Now I am going to place the worst Christmas graphics I could find right here. No one can stop me. Here goes:





So.

Probably there are worse ones out there but I am satisfied with these.

Liffey Rivers Books For Christmas

If your mystery-loving daughter or son likes to read Nancy Drew or other mystery series, they will probably like the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mysteries. If they are Irish dancers, I can almost guarantee they will enjoy reading the Liffey Rivers books.

Books can be ordered from the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer web site. They are signed and include a Good Luck Spaghetti and Meatballs charm. This is probably the cheapest place to purchase Liffey books unless Amazon does its Abracadabra. At the moment, Amazon.com has actually raised book 4's price back up to $12.00. The others are still at $9.00 which is $1.00 cheaper than the web site. It gets confusing.

Liffey Rivers books can also be ordered on Amazon.ca and .uk. Barnes and Noble will order them as will any independent book store in the U.S. But the distributor that these bookstores use probably will not guarantee delivery for Christmas at this point to bookstores. There are lots of e-stores as well.

Sooo. I am thinking the best place to purchase books and get them signed and get the charm is on Liffey's web site:  http://www.liffeyrivers.com/

Finally, there is a Liffey shop: http://www.cafepress.com/liffeyrivers
Priced at $9.49

Geese Are On The Wing Today


It's Saint Nicholas Eve and the geese are on the wing like they are every year at this time. 
Flying high from what I can see and hear today. They sound like yapping dogs but filtered.
A few minutes ago, six groups of V formations flew high over the house. So high that when I looked out the window and up, all I could really see were thin, silver threads traveling southeast. The geese are moving fast today. Maybe because it is so cold.
In other years, here in southern Wisconsin, I have watched thousands of geese at a time landing and then picking at the leftovers in farmers' fields like they were making a scheduled pit stop. But today, house-bound, all I can do is listen for them as they fly over. It makes things a bit more exciting around here. A cheap little thrill of noise and motion.
