When one of my orchids decides to bloom or gets a new shoot on it.

So many things make me happy: Hearing my grandchildren laugh, watching the younger grandchildren sleep, listening to the birds when I sit outside, finding one more coffee filter so I can make a pot of coffee, having coffee with my quilting buddies, hearing my Dad's voice (especially when he laughs) on the phone (he's 84 and lives 650 miles away), and so many other things that make me happy and thankful. And yes, finding another roll of toilet paper when you thought you were out.

Just having our childen, grandchildren and gr. grandsons
stopping in to see us all the time. Love it!!!!

Every one of these and getting to spend the last five years with my family after renal cancer and heart bypass!!!

I am currently listening to a book by P.J. O'Rourke "On the Wealth of Nations", and one of the funniest quotes was
Money does not buy happiness, it just rents it
That made me LOL
But real happiness is how my beagles greet me when I get home from work- they act like they have not seen me in a week (its loud and has lots of wiggles)

Hand quilting, reading especially to first my children now the grands, gardening, family Sunday dinners.

1. A warm cat on my feet on a cold night.
2. "Snuggies" from the fur babies.
3. Finding that DH made coffee for me in the morning.
5. Hearing a baby laugh.
6. Finding the next newsletter in my email.

going to get my hubby from the hospital, today, after a scare that could have been much worse. this is just the beginning of many such adventures, but for now, he is safe and sound. (parkinson's is a harsh mistress...)

Sitting on the couch with my sweetie watching the dog "run" in his dreams! He barks and howls too, sometimes wakes himself up!

Having a friend call and invite me to lunch......better if she's a quilter friend! :-D
