What made you happy today?

Just received a notification from FedEx that a package will be delivered tomorrow.
I didn't order anything, so...a mystery's afoot.
Kind of exciting for my first day of stay-cation. It's worlds better than what I had planned for tomorrow (weeding + cleaning out the garage).
Colour me happily intrigued.

Got my 88 y/o mother-in-law moved from her house to a senior living apartment complex ... in a two days of a record setting heat wave. Proud of my sons. That was a lot of careful heavy lifting.

A friend from Badger & Blade sent an unexpected get well card today. I was both impressed and thankful. He even included some Apollo Forever Stamps for my enjoyment.

An old buddy, friends for forty years (!) came in from NYC for a visit of a few days. Great to see him; staying with mutual friends one town away, as my casita is too small for overnighters.

I have one friend like that....we can be apart for years, and when we reunite it is like no time has passed. Going on 50 years I believe!

Talking with old friends on the phone today after my father’s death last week.

Talking with old friends on the phone today after my father’s death last week.

It's been more than 15 years since my Dad died, and tho the achy pain is long gone, the "I wish I could talk to dad" pain crops up once in awhile. We became good friends when I was 12 or so. He respected me and told me so. I think that's rare, and I was really blessed by it.

I believe I have done so already, but I give you my deepest condolences friend.

Nothing profound today. Riding my utility bike to buy groceries in about 70 degree temperatures rather than the 115 degrees we hit on Monday. Less is more.

Small things can make us happy.

Listening to my teenage daughter and friend enjoy playing together.

I woke up on the right side of the grass, my head doesn’t hurt and I’m not dizzy. The birds are chirping and the rain is making everything so green you would think this was Ireland. I’m off for the next five days, if you don’t count on call as work, which I don’t, and I get to work on honey do’s.

Out in the woods today. I was very happy to see that our young trees were not fazed by the heat dome.

The kids across the road just went to all the neighborhood houses to ask if it was OK to shoot off fireworks. Our dogs HATE it but they got a resounding YES! from us. Good kids

I've been cooking three meals a week on my new grills . . . my family has been really enjoying it. Makes me happy.

I found my mother-in-law's lost keys. She really lit up.

Then we were able to successfully connect her to the internet at her new senior-living apartment.

If she's happy, we are very happy.

And All I found was a rotten tomato in my garden! (Oops, I told @lancre to kick me if he caught me complaining!)

Well, was it the rotten tomato or the complaining that made you happy?
