Just wanted to share a few more things that add joy to my life.
Backyard in summer time. Ready for BBQing and swimming.
Backyard hibiscus
Roses in front yard of my son’s house.
Next cake which is much much better than the last one.
Flowers we learned in cake decorating class last week.
And my favorite. This is my great-grandson, 2 year old Deegan and his Daddy, Ryan.
Deegan was misbehaving and is getting a serious talking to! I love the look on his face, so serious, but listening to every word.
Hubby always tells me that it doesn’t take much to make me happy. I think it’s because I’ve spent time in both “unhappiness” and “happiness” and I must say,. happiness gets my vote. It’s a choice I make each and every day. Like I always say – Life is ALWAYS Good no matter what might be showing up at the moment.
Happy Mother’s Day!

/ May 12, 2012Beautiful flowers and cake decorations! The BBQ looks great and I bet everyone loves your BBQ.
Hibiscus is our national flowers and as it’s a tropical flowers, we have many of them in our neighbourhood.
You’re so right about that it’s a choice we make each and every day, Ellen. It’s so true that it all depends on how we want our day to be, either happy or unhappy!

/ May 16, 2012You’ve got that right, Ellen! I’m looking at all the pretty flowers in my yard, the smile on Sage’s face and just know that I can get past the sad month of deaths we’ve had recently. It’s quite uplifting!!
And I do have to say, your great-grandson’s look on his face is precious.
