In loving memory of Penny White

 

 Dear friend,

you once said that Nowhere was a place

 "Where love and friends live forever."

 You were right. You live in our hearts today.

 

Rattus and Tea Rat

(Ruben and Anita)

What a wonderful world ..

 Are you still there my Nowhere travelers…send me a sign…and I will come find you…

Please join Bebe, and float your worries away

Float your worries away, and come with me to Nowhere....  A place full of love, friendship, kindness and peace.

Climb aboard will you?  Let's drift up to the Castle of Butter, and visit Miss Moussie.  I am sure she has something wonderful baking in the oven.  I know she misses everyone, and we all miss her!

Tea Rat,  tell Rattus to grab his coat and get moving... You must not be late.  I don't know how long I can hang on to the hot air balloon.  

See you soon.....  Love,  Bebe

TEA RAT: I am just about to finish off the last measure of my newest composition...do you like my new wig, dearest Bebe?

RATTUS: There he is, bigger than life itself. (whoaha, that is a huge photo)

Birthday Reunion

First of all

A happy birthday

to

The Dutchess 

who created this blog

where friendships were formed

when she published the first 

post:

"All for one and one for all"

back on 

September 13, 2009.

Her story spoke of individuals

who 

"...promised to be forever friends

and help and protect each other

on this strange and wonderful road

to 

nowhere."

For any of you who ever had a connection with us

through commenting

publishing a post

or simply enjoyed being a wanderer

with us in this "strange and wonderful world"

please 

leave a comment

and

wish The Dutchess a 

Happy Birthday.

Lieve zuster 

make a wish:

Happy birthday!

Winter is over in Nowhere

and today

the fairies are smiling on me.

Happy birthday to me.

...AND LET ME ADD THIS - MY WISH..XOXO T.D..

With (a) spring in our step..

                              It's Spring..
                                            So....
                                             BLOSSOM..!

...........................

Thank you for carrying us through the forest

Tea Rat: Well Olaf, you and I, we finally made it. You've been a perfect steed, as one can see by your tattered

and worn skin

your sagging but strong back.

And in pursuit of 

The Butter Castle

from the early days, 

we catch a glimpse

of

a small ruin

in the company of a lone creature

and the five moons 

of 

Nowhere.

Where will our journeys take us in 2018 

dear friends?

We have endless moons to choose 

from which to launch.

See you in the sky.

Here we are..

                         How surprised they are to see us..
                                    maybe they didn't expect to see us travelers again.

                             ..the road to the castle of butter was long...

                                        We made it...through snow and Ice..
                                                                  ..its winter in Nowhere..
                                                                                     ..and here we are..

The summer months sweep us up so swiftly

into enchantment

Summer Concert with Bebe

Tap, tap, tap!   Ok.  Where is Tea Rat?   The concert should start soon, and I hear from a good source that Tea Rat is a divine  piano player.

There may have been a slight problem getting the piano over the hills, but I am sure he will be here shortly..  

I hope you all will come gather around and listen to the concert.

See you soon

Love,

Bebe

....ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY...

Wishing you the most marvelous B-Day ever dearest Nita from Nowhere..

Love from all of us..

Renovations

Night is lifting 

and so are the memories 

of 

The Castle of Butter's past.

Tea Rat has taken it upon

HIMSELF

to look into his tool chest

and bring Butter Castle

back to its former state.

He built a new chimney

and applied the stone and brick

on his own

while Rattus repaired 

the chandeliers.

(Thank you Penny and Jeri for your suggestions!)

Wandering and Wondering

The night had fallen 

but a luminous companion in the sky

led the two travelers toward

the frozen ledge of a horizon.

There, situated as if on a looking glass

stood an abandoned timbered castle.

"I'm beginning to wonder old man, where I've seen 

this dwelling."

"Has your mind wandered away from you son, have you

forgotten the spring of your wonderings? 

This is

BUTTER CASTLE."

"But of course old man; this was our destination

the day I faced the giant, the day we met 

Bebe and Miss Moussie.

Our travels began somewhere...oh, where

were we going, please remind me."

We were going Nowhere and to our great delight

it took us 

anywhere 

we wanted to be."

Wishes for a wondrous 2017
