| We closed the year - we opened the year
-- among friends. Old friends. New friends. Folklore
Village friends ... and South Park Church's Youth Ministry. We
just met them; we like 'em ... . Folklore Villagers have been our
friends for years.
We told stories. |
 |
| We sang songs, together. And danced ... . |
| We did crafts, and taught crafts ... and we taught theatre games, this year. We directed a play: |
|
|
|
Oh, yes ... we wove a story. And we danced. |
|
|
| What better way to ring in a New Year? |

This year ... last year ... for several years,
now, Celeste and I have been sharing the holiday traditions of Folklore
Village, in Dodgeville WI. Our routine, essentially, remains the
same -- it's its own tradition, of sorts -- stories and crafts. I
tell a story, or a couple of stories ... or three or four stories ...
around a theme or a time or a place;
then, Celeste weaves
a craft around them ... or ofthem. Mexican Tin Ornaments, this year, and Zuni Fetish Necklaces, and Gingerbread houses -- that was fun; I think more of the houses' sweet ornamentation ended up inside the architects than outside the houses. |
"There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there. The other is to walk around the whole world till we come back to the same place ..."
