Makes Me Smile

Yesterday
it was the end of a day that
was cool and damp here by the woods.
Yet I could feel Spring in the air.

Could not resist picking up hoe
and chopping out a few winter weeds
even though ground is nothing but mud.
Mind is saying
why are you doing this
and I answer
because I want to.

Early evening
washer is going
and just finished a bowl of soup.
Do not feel like reading and it is
too early to go to bed

So -- I started looking at my Jamie's
writing and some pictures she
posted several years ago.

This made me smile
an old picture I took of Jamie and her brother.
That sure was wild wall paper - cannot imagine
having that type of taste.
But then I was about 36 so glad
my style changed...

Then a picture  of my youngest granddaughter
in an over sized t-shirt when she spent the
night with me.

Memories
that make me smile.

All in all
Life is Good....

Oh--I remember the days of orange carpeting and avocado green and gold and a few browns thrown in. We were styling! Kids are so cute!

Judy, oh yes - the fridge at the old farm house was "avocado green"
Times change - now I have white.

I've also had some harvest gold and avocado green. Now I have white appliances.

Great photos of kids.

You've made me smile this morning with "because I want to". Sweet pictures of the kiddos.

I had coppertone appliances, now have white.
