Homes in Woodstock have SPACE

I met a chap tucking into homemade chilli from Jose's iceream parlor, on the Wiodstock promenade.
"So you quit the ratrace did you?"I asked.
"Yes,"he replied between mouthfulls."Been here 10 years, left Long Island the North Fork to sell window sidings. Real
Estate is cheap and there is room to breathe. Never looked back, except for this time of year when I miss the ocean."
Almost happy but still not quite content, the human condition according to Ekhert.

" Cheer up, Chilli Charlie. See that daffodil, stare at it for ten minutes then tell me how you feel,"I said, unselfishly wanting to share the Ekhert Tolle fast guide to enlightenment with my Chilli Charlie Buddy.

Then my ride back to New York honked so how he fared in the end I will never know but hopefully he got at least a wee bitty enlightened. If not he could least have some solace that he almost beat the rat race, with a few extra breaths of pure air and an extra acre or two.

50 friends from New York,Philly and Brooklyn descended to Woodstock for Spring Festival

It was great to breathe the upstate air, see trees, be in a historic building. Whilst everyone partied, I dipped into Ekhert Tolle's new book, "New Earth". His aim is to help you awaken, detach from the ego and your attachment to things, (does this mean designer label must haves?) and stop be still and be PRESENT.

The first exercise is to look at a flower, by really looking at it you see it's essence which reminds you of your godlike essence and so the enlightenment process begins.

Everyone kept asking me why I was staring at the purple crocus and was I on something? If so, could they have some.
"Look at the flower, the answer to it all is right there,"I replied, quite proud of being on my way to enlightenment in just one extended glance.

Kenzie relaxes after a long day

It is great being an Auntie, as I have all the perks and sleep through the night unlike my poor sister, but with a noggin like this he is worth it. Nephews are the greatest! Don't grow too big too quickly please.

Ok so Mummy Sister is the Pro

She is so organized, she is the Super Mum and together they make the prefect pair. I love this photo of them, he even stopped crying. Ah well I will keep practising at home with my cuddly bears.

Ah,Mummy that is more like it,Mummy knows what I want by just looking at me.

Where is my mummy, I need her now!

Quite a demanding wee thing, just because I don't feed him. It sucks not being his favorite!

Here we are sort of bonding, he is sort of crying

But I know it is nothing to do with anything I said or did, naturally. I do my best to comfort him but even promises our hits have gone up substantially since his photos make little impression, it seems.

"I want to be the youngest ever SP blog star, and start a new Baby Blogger following" , said Kenzie, with an adorable smile.

He is only 7 weeks old but already he is into Facebook, Twitter and now the SP blog.
Technically he can not speak yet but Auntie and he have their own language and we both know this young chappie is destined for great things, the smallest of which is featuring right here on this post, his right by his royal birth!

I did have a word with Big Daddy in Glasgow and he agrees wee Kenzie, he calls him Kenzo, should be a family baby and shared between us all being the very first wee one of the SP clan.
