I live on the second floor (third in North America) in a building with no elevator.  About fifty steps to climb.  Some folks are tired when they reach me.  I want them to feel welcome.

Two years ago my friend Marieke did a small drawing of me and I put it beside my apartment door, announcing my presence inside.  Now I want something new to adorn my entrance.  But what?

I enjoy living in the “I don’t know” as the question meanders within my mind.  It could take days.  And so it has in this case.

Strangely perhaps, I’ve recently enjoyed putting jigsaw puzzles together.  The finished ones are luminous – a sea turtle, a cat and an elephant.

I decided to go back to the Crafthub site and see if an image leapt off the screen for the pleasure of my visitors.  And it did!

A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Are you ready for joy?  Here it is …

I ordered the puzzle.  The company expects it to arrive between March 30 and April 1.  I fly to Canada on the 4th.  And I’m determined …

To have Charles grace the wall beside my apartment door by then.

It will happen
