What made you smile today?

[JDeere]

A Phone Call

[Gemme]

Yesterday, I got to see my boss and she even splurged for dinner and dessert. We had a good conversation too.

[Tierney]

Knowing tomorrow is Friday. Whew it has been a long week.

Oh and other stuff. ;)

[Chad]

The sun is shinning, it is warm outside, and I am home smiling. :)

[VintageFemme]

My gorgeous new iPhone 6! Apple makes such elegant and beautiful products.

Aaaaad... it's Friday eve! I thought it would never get here.

[Smiling]

Okay, I know this probably sounds silly but I smiled biggest today (just a few moments ago, in fact) after I changed the tire on my car. It's not like I haven't ever done it before, but today I was in a situation where I had to.

And it is so good to know you can do something when you have to do it - because I typically just feign ignorance and let someone else swoop in and play the hero (do all the work, lol).

So I feel all mature now and I really wanted a beer while I was out there "working." lol, but instead, I am going to reward myself by steeping some green tea to which I will add raw honey that came straight from one of the local apiaries - with a chunk of cut comb right in it.

I deserve it. I'm going to savor every sip. And I'm going to smile even more while I do so.

:tea:

[Daktari]

Mrs.Sunshine phoning to say how well her week is going.

[Cailin]

when our dog tried to take a leap over a 3 inch gap from the recliner arm to the couch (yes, only 3 inches) and she fell and slid down do the ground... could.. not.. stop.. laughing...



Yorkshire terrier's are mighty funny.

[JDeere]

Catching up with some friends, who moved in together, enjoying cold beer and good food and great convo!

[Blade]

I wasn't smiling when I heard the tap on my front door this morning. My disabled neighbor standing there, needing to go to town.

True to form it wasn't long before he had me smiling and laughing. With all kinds of issues going on in his life. No water and a burned up hot water heater, he's not had water in a few months now, he still finds reasons to laugh, smile and make others do so to. You'd think with water issues, health issues, legal issues and no public assistance he'd be just a grumpy bitter ole man. He's not, he is always smiling and welcomes the opportunity to reach out to help others in any way he can.

He inspires me and makes me grateful for what I do have and for the opportunity to help others as I can as well.

So spending time with this ole guy and listening to his stories and his parables makes me smile.

[Tierney]

My boss called me up out of the blue and asked if I wanted my hair buzzed. She had an hour and a half to kill. She just left a bit ago - and I am freshly shorn. Have to love a multi-talented boss.

[WildHorses]

We bought tickets to Women’s Weekend on the Russian River in May! We also booked a cottage so we do not need to drive. Yay!

Is anyone else from the site planning to attend? Tickets for Friday-Sunday are only $35.00.

[starryeyes]

I smile, everyday!! <3

And also, 4 days until my birthday vacation!! :-D

Can't wait!!

[BullDog]

Knowing I am on the right path.

[femmeandstrong]

to have become aware of my own resilience and how much I bring to those I care about

[Bèsame*]

so, yesterday I went to Lowe's on my own, looking for some things.

But today, I was smiling when I followed Blaze around two trips at Lowe's. And on the third trip watching him buy the outdoor patio furniture, that was on his mind all day long.

It will be fun watching him put it all together tomorrow!

[Tierney]

I woke up and lazed in bed thinking how life is pretty good right now. I like it when things are in balance, it feels really good. Absolutely smile worthy.

[Mel C.]

A message from a friend. Reach out and touch someone, it makes a difference!

[Logicaly]

Buying a totally sweet BBQ and all the utensils needed! I am ready to get out and enjoy the weather and eat some chicken kabobs and bbq burgers.

[durrrrrrrr]

talk with the Princess about future plans.

looking forward to all the vacations we have planned for this year.

[cinnamongrrl]

The sunrises lately have been spectacular.

It stayed close to 60 all night long..

Flowers and leaves everywhere...

Pictures my youngest sent of her on the beach in Florida..I think she's becoming a beach bum and WON'T be returning to New England...

How happy Jacques is to see me when I get home from work...or anywhere for that matter...

As ever...the mountains...they hug me every day...

[Tierney]

Thinking about Memorial Day weekend - and taking some time off - and watching that plane land. :)

[femmeandstrong]

... a stowaway bear with jam on his coat...

:tea:

[JustLovelyJenn]

Teasing my daughter while we were grocery shopping.

[willow]

I happened to be walking past a woman taking her daughter to school, this morning. Mum seemed a little flustered and was hurrying the girl along. The girl had stopped to look at a flower peeking through a gap in the fence. She cradled the flower very gently and turned the flower to face her. The mother didn't notice the girl smiling. But I noticed, and it made me smile too.

[bright_arrow]

A deep, heartfelt text
A friendly tech support rep
Cat cuddles

[femmeandstrong]

that my work day was very short today...yayyyy

[Kenna]

Blade's family makes BEAUTIFUL babies!! My heart melted at seeing a picture of their new, sweet little human.
And I smiled at Blade's pride and happiness. He LOVES and swoons over babies!! My roomie is a big sap and it's awesome to see him smile so much.

[PaPa]

What made me smile today was finally installing my new 500GB SSD and loading it with Win 7 Home Premium and updating all drivers and getting things squared away with it. Finally!! It runs like a top now. Zip Zip Zoom! :glasses:

[cinnamongrrl]

My morning client...she always tells me what great work I do...today she told me she hopes I will always work for her...

And...

And interesting offer....

And...

The birds singing this morning...as if on cue...its goes from silent to singing...its beautiful to wake up to that and a nearly crimson sky...I'm so lucky to live amongst such beauty...

[JDeere]

Finalizing everything to make sure I scored Motley Crue tickets for an early birthday present!

They will be here at the house tomorrow!

Dances a jig around the room!

[Tierney]

I have a hard time finding anything that is not worth a smile lately. My Mom brought over an extra TV for me while I was at work (this I knew she was going to do). I walked in to find a bag on the couch where she had bought me a couple of shirts for work while she was out shopping (this I already knew about, too). But what I did not know about - was she left a handmade throw that my late Grandmother had made and left to my Mom. I stood at the door - door wide open - and cried. Cried like I have not cried in a long time.

Then I smiled at all the memories it brought back.

Oh, and then there is that laugh and nerd driven conversations that happen daily. May can not get here soon enough.

[Daniela]

Finalizing everything to make sure I scored Motley Crue tickets for an early birthday present!

They will be here at the house tomorrow!

Dances a jig around the room!

Happy Birthday! Motley Crue is coming to your house? :sunglass:

I was smiling until I found out that we're getting over 2" of snow tomorrow...and it's below freezing out. :cold:

[JDeere]

Happy Birthday! Motley Crue is coming to your house? :sunglass:

I was smiling until I found out that we're getting over 2" of snow tomorrow...and it's below freezing out. :cold:

Ha ha I wish they were but no the concert tickets will be ariving later today.

[femmeandstrong]

that my son called and wants to go out with mom...and told me he loves me...

how much better can it get ?

[Cailin]

being brought my large 4 cup pyrex glass measuring bowl, and being asked "how do I made 2/3?"

then replying, you get the 1/3 measuring cup, and fill it up twice


the confused look on their face was definitely camera worthy.

[MasterfulButch]

Hearing about the fondness an old friend expressed for me when she saw my photo.

I think sometimes we don't realise the number of people that we've touched in those moments when our paths have crossed, however brief that may have been.

[femmeandstrong]

Amen to tht MB

[ahk]

seeing an old video of our lil pup who passed away a few years ago

[Kobi]

New pillows. New socks. It is really the little things.

[Daktari]

Meeting a fellow pumpkin who I've only spoken with on the phone thus far.

Having an 8yr old in my house is weird but smileworthy.

It's going to be a fabulous convention!

[Gemme]

Happy Birthday! Motley Crue is coming to your house? :sunglass:

I was smiling until I found out that we're getting over 2" of snow tomorrow...and it's below freezing out. :cold:

Still enchanted with winter storms?

:cheesy:

[C0LLETTE]

my car started and the wipers weren't stuck to the windshield.

[bright_arrow]

Getting a call to come in for training tomorrow.
I might of done a happy dance!
Now just waiting for my offering letter to be e-mailed to me so I can sign it.
Whee! :praying:

[Daniela]

Still enchanted with winter storms?

:cheesy:

:o I think the novelty has finally worn off.

I'm attending a wedding tomorrow (supposedly the 2nd day of Spring!), in dress and heels, and will probably freeze my butt off. :watereyes:

[VintageFemme]

Once a month I get a short day at work - only 2.5 hrs - and today, is that day. Happy.

[Degotoga]

Just shy of a month ago I rescued a 5-ish month old pup that got dumped out on a county road. After making every effort (scanned for a chip, flyers put up, etc...) to make sure she didn't run away from a home that really missed her, I decided to keep her. Since then we've been going for walks/runs on the days I'm home. This morning I got up early and trimmed hedges, knowing that flash flooding is expected today thru tomorrow night, and also knowing any form of outdoor exercise won't happen for obvious reasons, coupled with the knowledge that I always get called into work for swift water rescue when Mother Nature has a tantrum of this proportion. Anyway, I got done with the hedges, cleaned up and put everything away and decided fur face and I better get our exercise in while we had a chance. Needless to say, we made it a mile before it started raining so we stepped up our jog the rest of the way home, with dingbat the dog biting at raindrops the whole way. It pretty much goes without saying that we were soaked by the time we got home. Luckily, I had laid towels by the door before we left, just in case. Once we made it to the shelter of the front porch, I opened the front door, grabbed a towel, dried my head and face so I could see, then grabbed the mighty raindrop slayer's towel. She got all excited when she saw her towel and acted like she didn't have a lick of sense while I was drying her off. Despite getting caught in a downpour (and not being able to see much else but her because she was right next to me), I couldn't help but smile at her playfulness on our run home, then her excitement about towel time seriously upped the smile factor. Some days I could cheerfully pinch her head off, but days like today make me realize we're perfect for each other.

:dog: = :heartbeat:

[lveshoney]

An unexpected lunch date

[CherryWine]

I was on a webinar with my boss earlier when I saw a spider run across my laptop keyboard. Using a tissue, I tried to squish the spider. When I picked it up, the spider ran out of the tissue onto my hand causing me to scream and throw the tissue across the table. Well, when my boss called in he forgot to put the phone on mute because the moderator asked, "Does someone have a question?" My boss said, "No, we just have a spider."

He and I both got a good laugh out of it. Not a good week for me and insects!:blink:

[TruTexan]

Getting a pm from a dear friend on FB.

[vixenagogo]

the handsome guy waiting for me at baggage carousel C4.

[Kobi]

There are roads here that cut thru the marshes. Astronomical high tides leads the roads to flood at high tide.

Today, I had to stop at the flooded part of the roadway because there was a group of ducks floating in the middle of what should have been the road.

:rubberducky:

[MysticOceansFL]

Friends and family and my dog!

[Gemme]

:o I think the novelty has finally worn off.

I'm attending a wedding tomorrow (supposedly the 2nd day of Spring!), in dress and heels, and will probably freeze my butt off. :watereyes:

Under Armour? lol

It's the last round. That's what I'm telling myself with the hopes that sickening optimism will make it true.

:cheesy:

[JDeere]

MY TICKETS ARE HERE!!!! MY TICKETS ARE HERE!!!! The UPS man showed up about an hour ago with my parcel!!!

Joking around and laughing with a dear friend. I love to see their eyes light up.

My pup leaving two footprints on the belly of my shirt.

It's SATURDAY

[JustLovelyJenn]

Going down the water slide at the YMCA... twice.

[Tierney]

My boss calling to check on me after I fell at work yesterday. It amazes me when people show that kind of kindness, especially a boss.

And a certain girl who just makes me smile and laugh on the regular. *checks the calendar*

[JustLovelyJenn]

Having a few friends reach out yesterday and today to check in on me.

[Gemme]

Finding this!

Yesterday: My mom asking questions about her.

[femmeandstrong]

good things in my life...

[Daktari]

Not having to be at the convention as silly o'clock

Being able to wake up as and when.

Not drinking caffeine :|

[Kenna]

Getting things done and moving forward.

Picking up "prizes" for someone just to make them smile.

Making it thru yesterday (anniversary of Momma D leaving this world) without a meltdown.

Bluebirds

Checking in on my roomie's mom, and laughing together about her current craving for "minner cheese" sandwiches, then laughing together again about her husband. Hearing her in good spirits. And hearing her tender response when I invited her to join me at the Salon this evening so we could "scrub" her scalp good. (Which is hard to do with a cast on her arm).

Cuddles with all 4 of my dogs.

My knucklehead roomie waiting till I got home to send me a text about needing lunch.

And...it's finally warm enough to wear sandals!!

[Daniela]

Getting a lot of work this week...it's either feast or famine. But I'm not complaining! :D

[Chad]

A brand new baby just arrived into our family. :)

[randrum]

Being together with my family.

Talking, laughing, eating, and drinking for hours together.

Mother-daughter tattoo trips.

[Gemme]

I met the most lovely woman at the DMV today. We talked for over and hour before she was called up. I learned who she is, where she works, what she hates about her job, where she lives, that she wants/needs knee replacement surgery on both knees, she takes both oral and injectable insulin for her diabetes, she eats every 2-3 hours from anxiety connected to her job, her husband has a barely used Nordic machine in the basement and won't buy her a hot tub, they got screwed over by AAA (they left her husband out in the cold for over 4 hours before he decided to drive the car home on his own.....with no brakes) and that she wants a new car but she doesn't know if she'll be able to work for the next 5 years as she's 62 now. We discussed how freakin' slow the process was and how hard this winter has been. She also had the cutest hot pink and peach sneaks on that I may secretly covet just a little bit.

It was so nice to connect with a living, breathing human being today.

Genesis finding my old tax forms that I had to have TODAY!
I had looked in the same box she found them in and I did not see them
even though they were in a special folder.

Yay Genesis!

[Tierney]

Standing at my front window this morning with my coffee - watching the rain come down and it is supposed to be in the high 40's today - I am thinking Spring might have finally arrived.

[anotherbutch]

Woke up this morning thinking about the Fleetwood Mac concert I'm going to tomorrow night. :hangloose:

[Canela]

Waking up today to a very positive and prophetic text. I receive it!

[Kenna]

My day has been filled with smiles, laughter and feel good moments!!! Even thru my physical pain I was able to enjoy my entire day..including...taking walks at the lake at my own pace, my dog doing silly things that crack me up and someone buying me treats (ice cream and strawberry Gatorade) on my way home.

Smiles, genuine laughter and reasons to be thankful are good healing medicine.

[JustLovelyJenn]

Yesterday, I was told by a counselor at work that a student I worked with briefly two or three years ago was telling her how much she liked me and remembered me.

Today, my son was trying on a drag queen friends high heeled boots... I got pictures, with hand on hip and everything.

[Canela]

Being asked to be the godmother of the most incredible 2 month old twins! Wow!

[JDeere]

Spending the weekend with great friends from high school and their families. And getting my drink on!

[Bèsame*]

Every movement, thought, smell, feeling, and daydream.

[starryeyes]

I was told I could bring my dog Smudge to work with me to help improve office morale! This is awesome!! <3

[Kenna]

I cheated.... :cheesy:
No, I didn't cheat on my diet. But I do wish I had powdered donuts instead of carrots.
No, I didn't cheat on my tests.
No, I didn't (and would never cheat) on a sweetheart.

But I did cheat....
I brought my heating pad to camp...to me that's cheating, as I'm supposed to "suck it up" to get by with bare little....my days of rustic camping are long over. My poor bones need heat.

Now I'm smiling for how sweet it is....camping in a BEAUTIFUL place and so comfortable.

[cinnamongrrl]

Coming home from work to a clean house...

Knowing I'm capable of taking care of myself and have to depend on no one else to fulfill my needs

The just enough discomfort from my wicked hike yesterday...it was so nice to challenge myself

As ever, the mountaind and my adorable little lamb dog

AND

Finding out Jacques and Cricket's pup, Nate, needs a new home..it would be nice to have their offspring joy our happy home :)

[Bèsame*]

Smiling..

Van Halen on Jimmy Kimmel. That guitar still rocks.

[cinnamongrrl]

The view from my little room...

Even with the roomie gone, I'm thinking I still want this roon...watching the sky wake up and hearing the birds sing in the woods is a delight.

I can't imagine not waking up to this every day... :)

[randrum]

Waking up without an alarm and remembering I have the next 4 days off.

The puppies all piling into my bed for cuddles.

[clay]

waking up next to my wonderful sweetheart!

[Massive]

Today and every day for a while now!
As of nine days ago I became an uncle, 7lb 8 ounces of utterly gorgeous little girl. Arya. I am going to spend the rest of my life taking care of my precious neice.

[Cailin]

getting the patio finally cleared off. I've been here a year, you'd think it would have been done by now

Also, my tomato plants not dying would make me smile a lot (I think our faucet water is doing it)

[Cailin]

The view from my little room...

Even with the roomie gone, I'm thinking I still want this roon...watching the sky wake up and hearing the birds sing in the woods is a delight.

I can't imagine not waking up to this every day... :)

Mt. Fuji cherry is so beautiful this year

[JustLovelyJenn]

I'm smiling because spring break starts in ONE DAY!

[Gemme]

Because the Boy Scouts in NY hired an openly gay leader (http://www.aol.com/article/2015/04/02/ny-boy-scouts-hire-gay-eagle-scout-despite-national-policy/21160917/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl3%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D638084). Take THAT, Boy Scouts!

Also, who doesn't love a triple wedding (http://www.aol.com/article/2015/04/02/identical-triplets-get-married-together-in-joint-wedding/21160861/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl11%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D637930)? I'm sure their father was appreciative.

:blink:

I'm also smiling because I get to leave work early today. I still work tomorrow but at least I get to play a little.

[Bèsame*]

Smiling...

I know he is super tired, being on call last night, with 5 seperate calls.
I know he is busy this morning.

But, I got a morning call. Smiling, always when I get to hear his voice!

Being asked by my boss today to become a mentor for new employees. It will involve some travel but they pay well for that. I've only been with this company 10 months. IT is SOOOO nice to be with a company that values their employees. I am very lucky.

[Blaze]

Pictures of my baby. . Text that make me grin, make me think, make me adore her even more..I smile because I'm so dang happy! life has never been as content, and joyful, as having someone as beautiful as her, making you feel important, needed, wanted, and loved. .omg I wish this for everyone! Grasp it, and enjoy the ride! Remember to give it back, twice fold! ♡

Sweet and thoughtful texts
Spring break starts now!!

[cinnamongrrl]

I watched a kids nature show that was actually educational. I learned something!

I really can't stand how so many programs treat children like little idiots. This show used scientifc terminology and everything.

Mom's tulips

[Talon]

Thinking about a new friend that I've made...she's sweet, smart, and supportive.
I really enjoy her company.

[Kobi]

Clean windows. It is the only household chore I actually enjoy.

Now if the mourning doves would just stop flying into the slider......

[Tierney]

My boss stopping over a bit ago and bringing me ginger ale. And a note about Easter eggs - golden and otherwise.

[Bevidotcom]

Brushing my horse

[cinnamongrrl]

Realizing how valued I am by my employers. They rearranged my schedule because I needed more hoirs and they didn't want me to have to go elsewhere for work. They may even know of a potential roommate for me...

Its good to know that someone's got your back :)

[clay]

a package that just arrived! Woot! Woot!

Planning our next vacation. I can't wait. We are going to have a great time. I'm a very lucky girl to have such a wonderful and thoughtful boyfriend.

[Kenna]

A peaceful morning.
Puppy cuddles
A long, informative, productive, healthy conversation this morning
On a slow drive home past the horse ranch, it delighted me so much to see another tiny, precious, frisky, brand new colt. There's been a new one every day for a week...They just melt my heart. Especially the one that was running for her first time "feeling her legs and kicking up dirt".
Being appreciated and Respected
Gathering eggs from Chicken Roo and Chicken Little.
And a great dinner

[Chad]

Planning our next vacation. I can't wait. We are going to have a great time. I'm a very lucky girl to have such a wonderful and thoughtful boyfriend.

Trying something new today...something I have NEVER done before... and smiling as I said "ONLY FOR YOU"...it was worth it to make them smile and laugh...

[JustLovelyJenn]

Azam Ali, Niyaz, and others... I needed a little time for my hips to move.

[TruTexan]

laughing with friends outside yesterday and tonight.
then coming into chat and laughing some more with other friends here.


Thanks for the laughs everyone. :)

[RockOn]

I smiled when woke up a little before daybreak .... feeling good this morning
:)

[Tierney]

Waking up slowly and hearing the rain hitting the bedroom window. It would have made me smile even more if I could have laid there all day. :blink:

[JustLovelyJenn]

I smiled as I heard my children whispering outside my door about their plan to clean the whole house while I was still asleep.

I am still smiling because now that I am awake I have been banished to my room so they can carry out their plan.

[Kätzchen]

A sweet baby hummingbird that flew up to my bouquets of flowers to get a sip of nectar. So sweet. Made me smile. : )

[Bèsame*]

Smiling...up coming appointments.

[Tierney]

A co-worker asked me out to lunch and surprised me by paying. I asked her not to - and she would not hear of it. Made me smile. Then she said, "well, you surprised me with that Yankee keychain.. so you know" and shrugged.

Sometimes it is just that simple.

[JustLovelyJenn]

A wonderful coffee date... and plans for dinner in a week.

[Bèsame*]

Smiling..

Remembering the story about the lifted truck, with leather seats, roll bars, and the big Kenwood stereo speakers in the back seat.

It was while I was out shopping with my Mom. We stopped at the Girls Scout cookie table - and those poor girls were out in the chilly weather trying to sell those cookies - so I bought 3 boxes (and I am not a sweet eater at all) and my Mom bought some...

So, I went and took a twenty out to pay .. and I hear the one little girl whisper to the other .. "ooooh it is a twenty.. look she has a twenty"

It made me smile.. because it reminded me of a memory of when I was younger...

I bought the cookies.. and then gave the change to their little "donation bucket" that was on the table as well...

[MysticOceansFL]

Getting a message from a Femme on FB and it made me smile from ear to eat!!!

Dinner with family!

Texts from friends \

Knowing within a week this wedding stuff will be all over

[Bèsame*]

Smiling...

I have a lot of hair and at times it can over heat me, so I tend to twist it up in a clip. Well,today, I put it in a poofy pony tail. Wow, I was amazed how long my hair has gotten. That pony tail was long! I measured three and a half hand grips down.


Yeah, I worked that swish of the tail today, lol

My client's dog...

He forgets me in the 2 weeks between visits..

He is a HUGE white shepherd...looks like a great Pyrenees...but I found him hiding in my mama's room.

By the end of my 4 hour visit and several treats later, he remembered he liked me and even played a little.

He's just such a gentle giant.. <3

A card I received in the mail. :)

[cinnamongrrl]

Receiving the first level of certainty I've had in a long while..

Time to put down some solid roots and get around to living my life... :)

[Hominid]

I've been considering losing the beard I've been growing for two months. I've let it grow out sloppily before, or been lazy about shaving - but this time I sort of did it on purpose. I was thinking about getting rid of it, but today two people said almost the same thing, "it's trendy to have a beard now, but most people can't pull it off - your beard looks great on you" - hah!

[cinnamongrrl]

I can wrap up in a regular sized towel now...rather than one of those "bath" towel type things...

Cleaning for a living has been good for me...as is Asheville itself...

I love my little nest in the hills <3

[Cailin]

how cool it is outside. I love when the air is cool, and crisp, with a slight damp in the air. my favorite mornings :)

[Kenna]

More good news by phone today. Things are moving along much better than expected.

[clay]

the neighbor's new puppy. He takes it out to do its business and it just wants to sit in the yard..for hours and " people watch". It is so stinking cute...a little fawn colored boxer I think it is!

[MysticOceansFL]

Good Friends and family

[Hominid]

Thinking about our next vacation.

[MysticOceansFL]

Later in the year a vacation

[Smiling]

Tonight I visited with a friend of mine from back home and her family. We dined outside by the sea and I don't think I've ever been so delighted to see someone.

It's been too long. I hugged everyone extra tight before they left tonight.
What a blessing it was to see all of their beautiful smiling faces.

It's hard to say goodbye, though. I much prefer "see you later."

[JustLovelyJenn]

Our horse let me put medicine on his booboo hoof ---without delivering me to the ER with a head injury. Good boy, Rainy!

[femmeandstrong]

Being so loved

[anotherbutch]

Being loved exactly as I am.... What a concept.

[Amulette]

Appreciating that first sip of morning coffee..... ahhhhhhhhhh

[Satiated]

How quickly one can maneuver around this site, most tend to be over complicated and clogged. So, a smile towards day one reading everyone's inner most ramblings. Oh, and hot earl grey tea!

[Bèsame*]

The telephone call informing me there were no more geraniums or gardenias at Lowes.


Hey, aren't you suppose to be working? What are you doing in the garden dept?

This years baby eagle duo should be fledging very soon. After watching them since their birth in Feb, the empty nest is going to suck.

In preparation, someone made this beautiful tribute to last years single baby eagle.

If you watch it, pay attention at the 12:42 minute mark. Here Dad is coming into the nest with a fish. A very hungry and excited baby bumps into him and the fish falls out of the nest. Next you will see what a baby eagle temper tantrum looks like. Not pretty but very cute.

I want some! Would be so fun in the back yard 😃

[JDeere]

Chatting with my baby sister about taking a fall time trip around NC and TN in her new 31 foot RV...very exciting especially since she's gonna try to get my son from Colorado for a few days.

[Kobi]

I was talking to a pharmaceutical company today about side effects of a medication. In the course of the convo, I learned I was eligible to get this medication free of charge directly from the manufacturer.

The substantial cost off my shoulders made me smile.

However, I am not sure this offsets the pain in the ass side effects.

:eatinghersheybar:

[MysticOceansFL]

A nice texted from a friend! :-)

[CherryWine]

I must have a familiar face. Three times in the past couple of weeks people have stopped me thinking that they know me.

Today I was getting into my car as a sweet, older lady in the spot next to me was getting out of hers. I smiled at her as I normally do when making eye contact with a stranger. She started waving wildly and I waved back. Then she came up to my window, which I had rolled down, and acknowledged me as "Beth!" She finally realized I was not Beth.

The whole thing was pretty funny, and she and I both got a laugh out of it.

[Humanesque]

I would have to say the encouragement and High fives given for the past 5 days. Makes you feel really GREAT inside when people appreciate you for your hard work.

Anything can be accomplished. :tea: :nixon:

[Kenna]

I'm sitting at Tractor Supply waiting on them to open, watching a FB video of hummingbirds sitting on a heating pad that someone used to thaw out the feeders to keep warm. Toooo sweet

[Chicklette]

Room service, is overrated. Alas, not when the hotel is comping you! :wine:
