Newspaper Headlines From Here to There: Timberline Lodge–A Winter Wonderland!
6:03 a.m. The alarm was to go off early again. We needed to be leaving the house at 7:00 to make our breakfast reservation at Timberline Lodge, so at 6:03 a.m. in the morning, we heard the buzzing sound. I had gotten the best sleep since beginning this trip and groggily came to only to realize that Banjo had been barking to go out, and was peeing on the carpet.
But we made it. By 7:05 a.m. we were rolling out of the driveway. Sydney had joined us as the girls were out numbered by the boys. The girls happily chatted the hour drive up to Timberline Lodge.
While the girls visited, I hummed to myself.
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening. . .
In the lane snow is glistening. . .
A beautiful sight. . .
. . .walking driving in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird, here to stay is a new snow bird,
as we go eat along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
and pretend that he’s a circus clown,
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows. . .
Ain’t it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling,
We’ll frolic
and play
The Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Later on. . .
we’ll conspire
as we dream. . .
by the fire,
To face unafraid
the plans that we’ve made
walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a Winter Wonderland!
Thanks SO much Dwayne and Jenny for a fabulous time.
