The Whimsies are a little embarrassed, so they have asked me to apologize for them being away from this blog for so long. They have simply been so busy with all their varied interests and activities that they haven’t had time! But now, upon this day of Thanksgiving, as they are filled with a spirit of reflection, they have insisted on posting, however briefly, about that for which they are each most thankful.
Posing in their long-sleeved, comfortable Autumn clothes for their Official Thanksgiving 2023 Portrait, here they are to share the gratitude in their dear little Whimsie hearts!
TOOTSIE
I am most grateful for the beautiful Fall weather, which makes it so pleasant when I go outside to run around and climb trees! The air is crisp and cool, the leaves are changing to beautiful colors, and there is magic everywhere. What a wonderful world we live in!
TILLIE
I give thanks every day for the knowledge and enjoyment I find in books! By reading, I learn new things that keep my brain churning; spark my imagination by immersing myself in fantastical stories; and expand my horizons as I travel to distant places, experiencing things I might otherwise never know. Real life itself is joyful enough, so I don’t actually need books, but they are the proverbial icing on my cake!
TRIXIE
Without a doubt I am so so SO grateful I don’t have to live in a HOARD anymore. Whimsieville is clean and orderly, a magical place full of friends and fun, and you can easily find whatever you need without tripping over a bunch of horrible junk! I love this place!
TESSIE
I am so glad Miss Chrissy cared enough about me as her childhood friend to search for me, find me, and bring me home to live with her forever. Where would I be if not for this blessing? I shudder to think! Every day is a delight here in Whimsieville, and I think I am even beginning to overcome my life-long dread of dogs and wolves!
MISS CHRISSY
Hearing all these wonderful sentiments from my Whimsie friends brings a smile to my heart and a tear to my eye. I am grateful for each one of them, and for the way they constantly remind me and connect me to the child I once was…that still lives inside me. Keeping that connection alive is something worthy of thanksgiving. And so I add my voice to theirs and say:
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!
