O ya baby!
It reminds me of my cousin Makenna. She wears these quilted skirts with leggings.. Straight hair, No make up and Hand knit hats... looks Absolutely Amazing in them. Natural~Model~Beautiful~Amazing. Cuz she just IS! I want to be her when I grow up. :)
I bought second hand black leather clogs too. Peace Baby!!! I am SO wearing them NOW. Can't wear them outside of course... because its 5degrees and snowing. But whatever... I am the QUEEN of DENIAL... Candles are lit.. Van Morrison is playing on 'Pandora'... Summer is here in my living room... Skirts 'Swayin'... Crazy Hair Flowin'.... 'Eyes closed... pretending its summer or the 70's.. which I missed... what the hell eva' ... I'm dancin' and Feeling very Zen.
'Things' or Music make me think of the people I love.
This skirt made me think of Makenna. Which made me think of her Momma. Who just happens to be my Aunt .... four years my Senior. Auntieeee Lee Lee. My Very Best Friend. Since I was Born.
How very convenient to be Born with a Best Friend. For Sure!

She has been One of the Very Few Real People in My Life who has loved me unconditionally while at the same time has also been willing to say, "HONEY... Honey ... honey... Please Please Please... stop doing that"... and if I don't.... she just says, " O Honeyyyyyy, I love you. ... I LOVE YOU... BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU."....
She is also one of those amazingly spiritual people who underestimates themselves and the effect they have on the World and the People in It.
I'm finding that those kind of People can be very Rare. So very Rare. So very very verrrrry rare.
She is also the BEST Hostess EVER!!! Cooks the best meals while accommodating every one in the house even after having shared a few bottles of the best that $Chuck had to offer.
My favorite Christmas Memory EVER ... was spent at Auntie Lee Lee's house...
Christmas Eve... went to the beach and collected shells then sat by the fireside at a local place and ate fresh clam chowder... toured the local "Christmas Lights at the Garden's at the Beach".
Came home and looked at the Bare Christmas Tree. Said. Nope. Not ready to decorate it. ..... Yet.
Had a glass of wine and went to bed.
Christmas Day. We put a Ham in the oven... at some point.
Then went downstairs and 'threw' pottery and drank more wine... talked, laughed, told stories, dug our hands in the clay.... laughed some more...
.... Forgot about dinner until 'company' showed up.......... I'm wearing overalls.. hair in a messy chaotic clay mess... Laughing and forgetting about all of the rituals... Just enjoying my life.
It truly was one of MY Best and Favorite Days EVER.

No decorations on the tree and no presents under it.
No dinner on the table.
No pressure.
No expectations.
Just FAMILY enjoying their time together.
THAT IS my BEST Christmas EVER!!!
Thank YOU Auntie Lee Lee ...................................................... I love you.

Oh Honey... That post was the best Christmas present ever. You are right, I sure do love you. I think we are old souls together. You keep on feeling the warmth of the sun in the dead of winter. That glow is coming from the inside.
