Thing 1.
Ali shared this pic of Davy with us a while back. “He’s going to miss this!”
My house has forced-air heat and I have the thermostat programmed to turn down the heat at night (pretty low, too, because I sleep better that way), so it warms up fast & quick in the morning… and Davy has found his favorite morning warm-up spot!
Their new house has a boiler & radiators, along with a couple of electric heaters in a “newer” part of the house — no hot air blowing around.
Thing 2.
When she sent that, I immediately thought of, but could not locate, this photo:
One of my favorites of Maddy & Ali, warming up their feet in our old kitchen (in their matching Hanna Andersson PJs)! Maddy’s probably about the same age as Davy in this pic. I found it today in my FB Memories because it’s national sibling day or something like that and one of the girls had posted in a few years ago.
Thing 3.
You may or may not already be aware of the imaginary island located in the Indian Ocean that my husband created, called New Island.
He’s drawn/painted/created many maps of the island over the years, along with many other creative things (paintings & other images, including the view from space, a guidebook, a coin, a flag, stamps, train tickets & other artifacts) and now he’s gone a step further, having found this old school map at our local antique mall.
Do you see it?
He recently wrote & self-published his first fictional YA story set on the island, called The Hum: An Extraordinary Journey of Awakening. (No, I haven’t read it yet.)

I laughed at that register vent photo of Davy. And your girls show that phenomena is a universal one… I can remember standing on a floor vent at my nana’s house!
Tell Davy not to despair about not having forced air heat in the new house. We have a boiler and radiators and there is a long radiator under the window in the living room. Justin used to be able to lie down on the top and he would warm up there on cold mornings. John still sits on it!
I did find New Island and I may be traveling there when it all gets to be too much in the US. Rusty has quite an imagination!
Those photos are great and I can certainly relate having lived in old houses my entire life! I wonder if Trump will put tariffs on Rusty’s island . . .
What sweet photos. My sister and I spent quite a bit of time in flannel nightgowns made by Gram beside the hot air register in my grandparents’ dining room.
That Davy! We have photos in front of vents, but they’re about COLD air blowing out 😉 (no Hanna Andersson)
When I was a little girl, I used to love standing on our heat vents in my nightgown . . . and watching it fill with warm air! Such fun photos you’ve got, Vicki. XO And I found New Island right away. 😉
