Skyward

From the moment I met this little fella, I knew he and I belonged together because of ALL the daddies in the entire garden, I was his daddy. And of ALL the little gnomelings in the entire garden, he was my little gnomeling. Because of this, we were both destined to be best buds, and what a journey it has been! Such an incredibly sweet and cuddly soul, he wants to be brave and keep trying to overcome his fears. Pssst... I'll let you in on a little secret... This fella is braver than he thinks he is, and can teach me a thing or two about courage! He is always looking skyward, and lifts me up whenever I see his face light up. This is sure to happen when he sees another airplane or even better, a rare helicopter! If you were to ask him, there is gnothing better than watching planes take off and land. Gno matter how much time passes, it is gnever enough. I can gnot say I disagree! I could gnever get enough of our special one-on-one time together, and I certainly could gnever get enough of his hugs. It is a good thing he gnever runs out of them to give! Without a doubt, I am the luckiest daddy in the entire garden, because I have been matched with him, my best bud! I would gnot choose it to be any other way!

My Princess Jasmine

It does gnot take long to gnotice just how uniquely wonderful this little lady is. She is truly beautiful from the inside out. Ask anygnome lucky enough to know her and they would say it has been pure joy watching her grow into a generously loving young lady who is graceful yet strong, sensible and sensitive, determined, incredibly forgiving, trustworthy, genuinely kind and oh so very thoughtful of others! I know what you may be thinking. That's quite a lot of good things wrapped into such a small body, but let me assure you, though her body may be small, her soul is bigger than big. There is gno gnome who deserves such praise as much as she. Though once a tremendously shy little gnomeling, she is gnow a confident, fun, life-loving young gnomette. Her gname is Jasmine, and she will always be my Princess though there is gno doubt she has qualities suited to be a Queen. Like the flower, she is as delicate as its pretty petals and as bold as its beautiful fragrance. I have felt so blessed to call her my daughter, and even more to call her my friend.

Literary Guardians

If you ask me, I would tell you that we owe those in the Gnomish community so much for all the wonderful gifts surrounding us. It is gno secret that for every blessing we may have, there is likely a fuzzy little soul keeping tending to it so that we may enjoy the gift to its fullest potential. That being said, some gifts are more valuable than others and its the best of the best treasures that require the most special of souls to watch over them. Without a doubt, the Gnomish History books that have been passed down from generation to generation tops the list. These are the literary works that touch our souls, encourages us to be brave and inspires us to both laugh and cry. What makes a book a great work of literature? Well if you must ask, then I suppose I must answer. If by touching the book, you are swept away and into an adventure to a magical land, in which you've gnever imagined, chances are you have found yourself a bit of the Gnomish magic of which I am speaking. Gnow you understand just how important these gifts are, so it should come as gno surprise that the Gnomish Council chose this brave soul to help watch over the treasured works of art. Yes, you heard me right. A true treasured work of art is passed around and shared with loved ones of all ages. It is too good to keep to one's self, and it is definitely a good thing that there are guardians such as this one, to help ensure each literary gift is truly treasured, protected and shared.

PERSONAL GNOTE: Most definitely inspired by the Mad Hatter character in Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll.
