  1. River, I loved your answers, they were really great. I also love the songs from Frozen and just thinking about ‘Let it go’ makes sure that it’ll be there for the rest of the day. Today, in the afternoon, I am going to be with my friends. I think I’ll infect them with that song, too. They know it, so I just have to mention the title and we’ll all be singing that one. :) I think that you got your baby this close to Christmas absolutely qualifies as the best gift ever, that’s so lovely, … and I wonder what the gift wrap looked like. :)
    Lemon and salt and Tequila? I have only tried that in this combination, but I can’t cope with the effects of the Tequila, therefore I don’t do this. Hey, I dream bilingual, but only English and German, though black and white dreams sound a bit scary to me. I think I’d like to recall more dreams than I actually can remember, lol, especially the naughty ones, because they are less cryptic. :)

    hugs

    1. Hi Nina,
      The hospital actually gave me a big stocking to put my baby in, so I have pics of her being held up by the tree. I don't use tequila with the lemons, just salt. I can't do shots of liquor :-) Have fun infecting people with songs!

  2. Hi River,

    To answer your first question, I found this definition of the Liebster award on another blog. I won't leave the URL because it's not a spanking blog.

    The Liebster Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. So, what is a Liebster? The meaning: Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome. Isn't that sweet? Blogging is about building a community and it's a great way to connect with other bloggers and help spread the word about newer bloggers/blogs.

    Hugs,
    Hermione

  4. I'm often cracking myself up too. Kind of embarrassing but I can't do much about it.

    So what would you do with a cow? Chickens would be cool.

    1. Oh yes, the curse of being too funny for your own good!
      I would use the cow for milk and cream and eat the offspring when they were older
