Hello friends... a few weeks ago I wrote about a new lgf who has come into my life... I continue to be head-over-heels in love with a little 8 year old darling, Lyda.

This past weekend, I was fortunate to spend a few hours together in the snowy and cold outdoors with Lyda.

True, she had been all bundled up in her winter jacket, snow pants and boots, but our outdoor time together was wonderful... and even though she was covered with all these winter clothes, they didn't cover her beautiful brown eyes and delicious 8 year old smile, both of which can make me melt in even the coldest of weather.

The very BEST time came after I brought her back home... her caretaker aunt had left a written note by the back door, saying she gone out to the store to run a quick errand.

Alone, Lyda and I entered into her foyer where she began to take off her coat, snow pants and boots... and semi-wet socks. --- At which time, the sights of her tiny feet and ten little toes sent me into a swirl... My breathing became heavy and labored and I thought my pounding heart would jump out of my chest!

I immediately bent down and took her cold little feet into my warm hands, gently massaging them, letting my warm fingers slide between those heavenly and delicious cold little 8 year old toes. --- After warming her feet and toes, I'm not sure who had the happier look on their face, me or my darling little Lyda.

Possibly "TYFLAS" might mean something to those of you who, like me, have been around our same little topic interest for many years.
