Maternal Instinct

Those of you who know me, know very well, I have no maternal instincts. I mean, kids are fine as long as they are someone else's and no-where to be seen. But after being immersed in The Song of Fire and Ice saga by George R R Martin all summer, with the fabulous Daenerys Targaryen character (who has three hatchling dragons of her own) I think I could warm up to the idea of being a dragon mother!

I fell for this little dragon hatchling puppet by Folkmanis at first sight! 

I call her Quasar!

Daenerys ~ my inspiration!

blurring the lines

One of my favorite pastimes is reading. And an epic fantasy novel with memorable characters tops my list. I can get so engrossed in the story line to the point that I actually find myself thinking or dreaming about the characters long after I have put the book down. And I have to admit, in life in general ~ I find myself happiest when I am just teetering on the line between fantasy and reality!
Lately I have been lost in the lands of Westerloos, the realm of The Song of Fire and Ice, created by George R.R. Martin. Book three in the series ~ A Storm of Swords has me running with wolves and dodging treachery at every turn.
