Being happy isn’t so much about the big, extraordinary events in our lives, it happens when we recognize all of the little ordinary things that make us smile. The thank you notes category is all about appreciating the little things that make us smile every day and expressing gratitude for them.
Here we are at Friday again. One week ago today, we were leaving for Bear Lake, and now we’re home already. School is starting for the grandkids, and summer is nearly over. How did that happen? Where did the time go? Anyway, it has been a good week. I won’t go all the way back … [Read more…]

It’s Friday, and you know what that means — Friday Favorites! As usual, we headed to Hawkes Landing for the weekend. This time we went over Guardsman’s Pass, and the views are stunning (if a bit scary at times)! The wild flowers are in bloom. We went on several nice hikes. Followed by a frosty mug!

Here we are again–Fabulous Friday! A perfect opportunity for looking back on all the happy things that happened this week.
