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.
Another week of good food, family time, and fickle Mother Nature. These are a few of my favorite things from this week. Starting with the first barbecue of the year. Thanks Larry! Spending Mother’s Day with some of the people I love most. And this lovely gift, hand-painted by my Saira Bear. (How appropriate that … [Read more…]
I love Friday favorites, because it’s a chance to focus on all of the little happy moments that occurred during the week. And there was a lot to love about this week. What’s not to love about getting your nails done–especially a beautiful baby blue! You know I love running outdoors, especially when the weather … [Read more…]
This Friday Favorites is all about the signs of spring (well mostly about the signs of spring; I might have thrown in some other random stuff that made me smile). Let’s start with the flowers. I just love tulips. They pop up in the most beautiful colors and shapes just when you need them most. And … [Read more…]
Another week has zipped by, and it’s time once again for the Friday Favorites blog post. I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun. And in case you’re wondering, here’s my idea of fun. We got Larry a new chair for Hawkes Landing. So no more of this. (Notice he did not let go … [Read more…]
This week was full of wonderful moments. Here are the top 10–not in order of magnificence, because I couldn’t possibly choose, so in chronological order… 1. This was the view on my drive to work Friday morning. I love the way the clouds are sitting on the mountains. It was so beautiful, I had to … [Read more…]
Happy Friday! I hope your week was spectacular! For me, this week brought more birthday celebrations, starting with our 15-year-old grandson, Ryelee. (Yes, I said 15! That just is not possible.) And, of course, Larry’s birthday. I won’t tell you exactly how old he is, but let’s just say it’s more than three times and … [Read more…]
Here we are at the end of another week, and there’s been a lot to celebrate, starting with the opening of Hawkes Landing. It may be hard to tell, but Charlie is very excited! Actually, I am so grateful that he travels well. He loves to go anywhere you’ll take him–even the vet’s office! But … [Read more…]
This week’s Friday Favorites is all about new things and family time. After three weeks of my bright orange “vacation” nails, I was ready for a change. I’m loving my soft pink spring nails. Thanks again to Meghan who always does a beautiful job and is such fun to visit! And thanks Cindy for introducing … [Read more…]
This Friday Favorites crosses the border from magical Mazatlan back to home sweet home. And if you ask me, both sides are pretty great. I hope we never reach a point where we wall off whole countries from ourselves. Part of what made our trip so great was the wonderful mixture of people we met from all … [Read more…]
This week’s Friday Favorites is an exercise in self-control. I am limiting myself to one picture per day and one sentence per picture. That’s not an easy task when you’re somewhere as beautiful as Nuevo Mazatlan. Wish me luck! Friday, March 10 Saturday, March 11 Sunday, March 12 Monday, March 13 … [Read more…]
