Happy

 

Picture From Here:

 

 

 

 Today all three classes at church were on being happy!

All the lessons were profound, deep and soul searching!

Often I find lessons on happiness to be skin deep,

all the church answers and given w/ fake smiles on

faces and everyone nodding. Not today. Truths were told, "I'm sorry"

spoken and deep thoughts expressed. It was much needed!

I feel compelled to express some of my happiness's!!

 

*The nephew's!

*The nieces!

*My love of creating!

*My ability for seeing good in JUNK!

*Adventures!

*My love of a good book!

*My love of children!

*Naps!

*Air conditioning!

*A good nights sleep!

*Walks!

*Paint!

*Seasons!

*My cheapness!

 

What makes you happy!?

Poppies remind me of my childhood

He was quietly paining the beauty!

Love!

*I got my "toes done" the other day and

it's been so cool I haven't been able to show em off!

*How does one know if one needs a chiropractor or a massage?

*I have no idea what Theodore signs sometimes!

He was telling me he wanted water

I thought he was wave'n bye to his mom and slapping his cheek!

*While on a walk tonight a little girl (3ish) ran to pet Lucy the dog.

She told me thanks and let me know she'd invite me to her birthday party!

I have never seen her in my life, but I am sure we could be fast friends!

w/ the right inflection but in his own language!

items at thrift stores. Where do they put it all?

*Sometimes primer is more then the furniture!

 

Happy Summer!

 

Mirror, Mirror.

 

It breaks my heart to hear my elderly neighbor (100) express the

hardship of going blind. It makes me giggle when she comments on

how nice I look each time, before I leave!!

Shopping!

 

 

Today while shopping I saw an over heard a SUPER funny

conversation. A little boy look at a very loud and

very opinionated Asian woman, and w/ LARGE eyes stated.

"I saw you on TV!" The woman ask "Why I on TV!"

The little boy stated that "The cops caught you and put you in jail!"

The woman stated That wasn't me. The little boy assured her it sure as heck was her

and he new it! Sadly it was my turn to check out and I missed the rest of

the show but it was so funny!! I hope that kid never

sees me on TV!! 

It's called perma dirt people!!

 

I picked up this darling the other day! (I paid for it)

It is so nasty and so dirty!

 

 

 

I love the little wooden handle!

 

 

She had a wild past life and is sport'n a tattoo!

 

 

She'll be primed and painted and as good as new before she

knows it!! I do love the yellow and gray though. Or I would if it was clean!

 

 

 

Today was cool and perfect. Seventy Five was the high.

It was Oregon cost weather! I loved it!

I have the worst pain in my neck. It makes it hard to be

alive. I have used every darn thing I have found online to save me

some pain..but alas no go!! What a "pain in the neck!"

 

Happy Friday and Happy Flag Day!

Book Report!!

 

I requested this book for the library!

I saw it on line and it looked darling!

I checked it out and it did not disappoint!

You should check it out too!

 

 

I love a good leaf shadow!!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Summer!

Don't forget sunscreen!! 

 

Lesson Learned: Move the fish bowl

off the entertainment center before moving the

entertainment center or you will learn what fish

poop tastes like! Awesome! (not really)

 

 

 

My mouth will never be clean again!!

*Favorite quote lately "If my chicken's are happy then I am happy!"

*My nephew Theodore can't get any more cute or

any more clever, but he will.

*I am ready to retire!

*The lesson in Sunday School today made me want

to go check the sign on the building cuz I swear I was in the wrong church!

*I love to see my little basil sprouting!

*While doing my niece's hair this week, I stood

back and showed her the finished product.

She looked in the mirror and stated, "This is awkward!"

Little Lady!

My sister hosted a Neighborhood yard sale.

I went to partake and kiss my darling nephew

2.9 million times!

After the sale was done it was a "FREE" for all!

I grabbed this baby! It is so cute! The woman's it was

got it many moons ago.

I brought it home and washed it and reframed it!

I love it! Often in DI I see a SLC temple that is made the same way!

It is called Crewel (ing) and was all the rage in the 70's!

"What old is new again!!"

 

 

Look at that smiling lady bug! So cute!

 

 

 

Yard sales are more fun to attend then host!! Word!

 

Happy Summer!

Junk!

 

  

 

Tip

 

 

I am not really a fan of hand sanitizer..it is bad for you!

Ask my sister she'll tell ya!

I did happen on a helpful thing the other day!

I paint A LOT I most often get paint on my hands.

Every once in awhile I get some on my clothes.

Guess what gets it off??

HAND SANITIZER!!

Just rub it in..easy!
This is for a fresh paint smudge..nothing
 that has been washed and dried!

***Update. It gets wall paint off your newly polished nails!
Hip Hip Hooray!

 

(It also get pine tar off. )

You'll thank me later!

Happy Summer!
