Fun afoot

A spur of the moment trip to Cape May, N.J., Rehoboth Beach, Del., and St. Michael’s Md., increased the size of my penguin ornament collection substantially. I even passed the 900 milestone. I feel like I rescued these playful penguins, one of which is holding a cookie-like snowflake with the year 2008 on it. The other three are holding a cardinal, a gift and a tree. All of them are wearing strange star-shaped snowshoes. Or are they cookie cutters? Even though the 2008 cookie and the star stompers are different shapes, it makes me wonder.
