I know what you mean Dianne. Maybe that's something you can work on for next year. They are so precious just the way they are. We both need to stay home and work on getting our own Christmas decorations up because I haven't even gotten my stuff out of the attic. I can't seem to get motivated in that direction.

Tell GrandPooBah that there is no big hurry in deciding what he is going to do--after all we do have a month or so before the new year--- thumbup That leaves plenty of time for him to decide.

Continued from UP[b] ^ There[/b]

many Of the Wee Willys worked together to open the Box.

AS they were removing Packing,, They began to hear a muffled voice! shock

They worked even faster to get the packing out!!,,

Suddenly they saw a face!!! yikes


"Heyyyyyyyyy Don't Be frightened,,! grin
My name is Mick wavy .. I'm from Ceramic, Illinios and I build ladders!
I am sooooooo hoping you need a Ladder Builder in your Village."


Chuck ( short for Chuckles) Looked in the Box and said "Sure we need a Ladder Builder,,! Come on out!!!!Did you bring a Ladder with you or do I need to throw in a rope! lol haha

Ohhhhhh certianly I brought a Ladder, of course !!!! grin

Mick Climbs out of the Box with something straped to his back and covered Up,,

Chuck ask Him " What cha got there??"

I Bring a Gift to the Village,, Special Made from My human Friend CarolJean, She Directed Me here,, I told Her as soon as we met I wanted to go to the Rock Tower Village in Texas someday. But it seemed nearly impossible to get there on my own boohoo ,, barely knowing me She arranged it grin , and I will be forever Grateful! kissie

Chuck helped Mick get the wrapped gift off his back ..
Mick announced "the gift is for the Season and that the Children of the village should be gathered around for the opening of it,, as it is just as much a Gift to them too"

As Onehand ran off to gather the Children,, Someone from the crowd that had since gathered asked ,,

"So what is it that have you heard of us,, that lit your fire to get here???'

I heard sooo Much about the Village and the Keeper of the Land,, your Human Friend,, and Her Friend the Faery watcher, that has sent you a secret Orb,that has already revealed a secret!! News Travels FAST.. ya know???
Ohh and I heard the story of Onehand's friend ..Rosewood ,and that he Found REAL Magical Land in Washington and the Special keeper of the Land there,, and that there is a Special Tree in that land ,, Called the Shirley Tree,,Not ever Heard of that tree before But I'm sure it's something else since it is in that magic Land Rosewood stays !!,,

I also Heard about all the great things the Friends of the keeper of your land dwelling has done,
Two Humans, Lynne and Christy brought Brothers together thru a secret mission after many years of being apart.
I gotta tell ya tho,, The Human Girl Cindy,, I hear so much about sent Your Human Friend two of us that Play cards and Cheat,, I think I won't be playing , cards with them!! lol


Ohh Yes indeed you have really been tuned in,, and all is true,, !! Says Chuck!



Finally Onehand gets back with the Twin girls,,

Mick carefully removes the old worn burlap to Give his gift to the Village!,,,


Continues,,,,,,,,,

Carol here again---Val & I were out last night & we got caught in a sleet storm of sorts--as it was closer to her house than mine I spent the night.
Val is at work now. So I will be home tonight at some point.


I am so glad "Mick" got to the village safe & sound with his gift. The minute we met I knew he was right---that he was destined to live in the village. So glad ther ws a spot for him.

Another great story!! you really need to consider writitng stories and then eventually make writing your "day" job. I think you would be great at it.

I am certainly glad all was forgiven. :wink:

Pete the painter is certainly a good painter. perhaps if he could/would give lessons to the members of the village you would not have to worry so much a bout "random painting" going on????

So now even the Village is getting in to the "spirit" of the season, huh???

So you've had him all this year! Hmmmmm....I must be really foggy cause I can't remember seeing him, but then since he celebrates the Christmas season I guess he wouldn't show up much in the rest of the years stories...I didn't think of that!!
