Sea Foam Green. It is really an ugly color. And it never reminds me of the sea . It is a sickish, pale washed out green thread on a small cheap spool. And yet, it is today's choice. One of many in the jar.
It stares at me as I open the computer to Ebay. It is time to start Christmas Shopping.
After years of abundance, of too many toys and overwhelmed babies and toddlers, we settled on traditions that are cherished, affordable and fun.
As Gramma Bevy I am the one to give the reliable gifts The books, The Advent Calendars and the Christmas Tree Ornaments that will mean when each precious darling leaves home and puts up their very own first Christmas tree they will adorn it with their very own ornaments. What a delight to those of us who started out with our local department store glass balls with no character or charm.
I am giving moon ornaments this year. Mostly used. My budget is small but big enough for fun. We all love the moon.
I put about 30 ornaments on my watch list. I get ready to sign out to do this exercise in daily writing and there sits the spool of ugly green thread. Hmmmm. I ponder the significance. And then I say
Good night Moon, Good night spool of green thread that will soon be yesterday's spool story.
