    We visited each others rooms briefly- just to peek at our best friend favorite things-memories, colors, smells, sights- our senses were full and our hearts pounded with joy for one another. Then a restful tiredness came over each of us at one time and  we wondered  back to our own rooms and slept soundly. We I woke I peeped outside to see if my garden was growing but magically I was back on the Mountain-I was not disappointed as the Mountain itself is comforting.

    We met in a breakfast room- fresh fruit, berries and  anything we wanted and all fresh and lovely. As we were finishing our meal our little guardian appeared and was smiling broadly. She encouraged us to be on our way by cleaning up behind us, we all sensed that it was time to leave. nnn was refreshed by the visit she had to the 60's- still telling us about all the colors and patterns that we in her room. I was stuck on the garden and how big my tomatoes had grown- promising them all a meal at my house sometime. - enticing the invitation by throwing in a free frawl in the near by cold trout stream just 4 miles from the house- raising the stakes and hoping they would give in and commit to coming home with me for a nice visit.Spar kept teasing me that we had a outhouse because she had seen the well house in a picture I carried with me- she said our whale butts wouldn't fit in the Ozark out house- we all laughed until we almost peed our pants and them we realized we did NOT HAVE WHALE BUTTS ANYMORE and were still very smart! You see the Mountain is magical.

    Spar and I looked at nnn,foots and debory and discussed quietly that they looked healthy, happy and younger- is was curious and we stared at one another wondering if we looked younger to them- soon we came to the magical water fall and could see the wise White Owl watching over us from above. The water tasted like the Missouri well water and the others teased me that I would say anything to get them to my house--- they were right of course, but I had not lied about the water as it was sweet, FRESH and clean and the perfect temperature. We could hear the magic dragon and were slightly un-nerved but kept pressing  on our journey. By lunchtime we were at the cool misty forest that spar had told us was up ahead. We loved it but found that we were hungry, everyone was scavenging looking for eatable morsels.

    Hey, I am hiking my way up now.  Would love another story.  Tests showed bone still broke but got a bone stimulator today and have a feeling this will work.  Feeling very positive about it.  I know I am needing some real food on this mountain, the pecans, wild strawberrys and wild carrots are just not filling me up.  Where is footie, she always has good food and tea.

    Hey JO I see you.  LOL

    Woke up with a desire to watch the sunrise in the mountains.  So quiet this time of day as the sun slowly peaks over the mountain tops.  There are no sounds, the quiet is almost eerie as the night animals are getting ready to sleep.  The day animals are just beginning to wake and begin their day.  Coffee is brewing and the aroma is slowly penetrating the mountains accompanied by some freshly made cinnamon roles.   Happy Saturday to all.

    Hi JO....I waited and waited and finally i thought you were taking a nap.

    I went for a nice walk, showered , had a little snack because if I eat this early then will be fully hungry again later.

    What kind of tea would you like to have?
