In lieu of trying to belong to any number of societies: Chesterton, Sherlock Holmes, the Inklings, and so on: I propose and establish one of my own. Don your intelligence cap at the door; dust off your logic and imagination; did you bring your inspiration and encouragement? We are shapers, my friends; lit lamps; light-bringers. Bring quotes; poetry should be uplifting and thoughtful, or witty and clever, (or both). Humor is encouraged; laughter is invited back. Pull up a chair. Anyone for tea?

A Winter Party

This year for our midwinter's day, I planned a party for the family, with a surprise menu and decoration.  I decided to try my hand at Pavlova, making mine with pomegranate and cardamom for a Christmas treat.  I whisked egg whites, listened to music and stories, and thwacked at pomegranates with a wooden spoon.  I had so much fun!

It's rather like a spongy marshmallow inside
ready and topped with whipped cream and pomegranate seeds
