Small wonders is a wonderful phrase.
It includes so much of life, if you are watching and listening
to all that comes your way.

I agree, Denny. Chicken envy could be a potential trouble maker =)

Happy holidays, everybody! May we all find a wondrous moment such as this that allows us to cut through the stress of daily life and be kids again, even if for a few seconds.

That sweet little girl is getting married next year! My how time flies. (She is still sweet BTW) I am sure that her husband-to-be hopes that she thinks he is as amazing as that chicken!
