A really personal conversation.

---A walk, in 32 degree weather no doubt, but stimulating all the same.---

Getting a surprise house warming gift from a neighbor,a yr subscription to netflix.. how cool!

starting off my year right, making changes for me! yep life is pretty darn good :tease:

Watching my son and his antics... 4 days was too long for me to be without children... or maybe, just long enough.

Working at home and listening to an audiobook all day. Scruffing up the orange fuzzy sweet potato (Gracie). Getting back into some very good habits.

Finally got off work.....

While sitting in my recliner eating dinner. My dog had her chin resting on my knees watching me eat. She would start to fall asleep, but was really trying hard to fight it. It was the cutest thing ever. And of course she got some when i was done eating. :)

perfect cure for cold weather ...
 

fresh hot homemade buttermilk biscuits with their golden lightly -salted tops and how the steam rises when broken open to reveal their very soft fluffy perfect middles...how heavenly they taste smothered in butter and seedless local homemade blackberry jam......yum yum yum.

Kenna's biscuits would be great with the joy I'm finding in my
cup of coffee !

...love that first cup.

Nothing in particular...I just feel so *happy* today. :hk1:

A sunday morning breakfast already made. Okay mostly made. I still had to brew the coffee. Isn't that the most essential part?

After my son-in-law left for work, my daughter was about to put the baby in her playpen for a nap and lie beside my grandson till he fell asleep. I asked if I could put the baby to sleep instead and she, of course, said yes.

Baby asleep and placed in her playpen, grandson and momma fast asleep on the couch. I sat in the chair for a good 30 minutes and just watched them all sleep so peacefully. Gave her a kiss on the forehead and told her I was going home. She drifted right back to sleep... just like when she was a little girl.

It was a great visit!! :)

The Santa Cruz Mountains.

The spate of warm, dry, spring-like weather we are enjoying, and the kitties I live with.

:rollcat:

Home Made Sketti dinner, n salad ,n warm juicy garlic bread

Not having to do any dishes

Brought home nuff leftovers for a week...well, maybe a couple days

Knowing that the sun will come out tomorrow...really, no..really it has been very dark in my neighborhood. :moonstars:

Okay, so yesterday we got a donation of homemade Valentine cookies done by a 5th grade class that adopted our shelter kids for the school year. It appears the night staff never gave the cookies to the kids so today after lunch I put them out for the kids to enjoy. One of my older guys stood over the cookies that had been designed artistically by these artsy little kids trying to decide which one to pick. He kept oooo-ing and awww-ing and grinning and finally picked one. He held it up and kept staring at it while walking away and said, "It's so detailed. I don't want to eat it, I just want to appreciate it."

That was the best Valentine's gift anyone could have given me at the shelter today. :formalbow:

All of the small little thoughts and gestures today!
