There's been alot of demands on my time as of late but yet I MUST still find time to play with you, so I thought it would be nice to keep a simple journal, a place to skip about and be carefree. You will find a few quotes, a sprinkling of cheerful and uplifting photos & images... oh and of course no cottage is complete without music and story time :)!<br />Thank you for allowing me to still share my little world with you!<br />Hope you enjoy your visit to Cottage of Lost Play!<br /><br /><br />One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. ~ Joann Wolfgang Von Goethe<br /><br />Photo taken at Wing HavenWren Cottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887234275899190927noreply@blogger.com
