100 Happy Days #13

007

This is Peaches. Isn’t she just beautiful? She is lucky enough to belong to my sweet little daughter in law who has always wanted her very own parrot. One day–two of them showed up at the animal shelter looking for just the right kind of home. Our sweet little Kortney just happened to be at the right place at the right time and Daney-boy said, “We’ll take them.”

Lucky little birdies.

This is Peaches’ husband–Avocado or “Avo” for short. You should see these cute things–they dance and play with Dane and hang all over Kortney like she’s Dr. Dolittle.  The Bald guy even walked around with them on his shoulders for a couple hours.

I didn’t actually hold them myself. Too big of a chicken, I guess.

But it was fun to watch.

Seeing animals who are loved makes me very happy.

Stained Glass

100 Happy Days #12

001

I know, I know…I’m in the middle of the other project…about a million “other projects” if the truth were known. But it felt lovely to pack up the pieces of the Stained Glass afghan to work on while I was visiting my far away boy and his wife. It is, after all, for them. So they didn’t think I’d forgotten to do it altogether, I brought the evidence, and worked on it for hours and hours. When does anybody ever get to do that? It was pure heaven, I tell you.

It made me calm and peaceful…

and oh, so happy.

100 Happy Days #10

016

Working on a new project that’s turning out quite a bit better than even I anticipated. Any guesses as to what this is going to be?

I’ll give you a hint: I made one a few months ago, but I haven’t made one in years.

How’s that for a riddle?

I’ll show you the answer soon.

In the meantime, I have some crocheting to do…

and it’s making me very happy.

Supreme Softness

100 Happy days #9

These, my friends, are my great big, fluffy, soft, squishy, burgundy slippers. They are not too tight and not too wide and have plenty of wiggle room for all my wiggly toes and have the good sense not to pinch anywhere. For that very reason, I have nearly worn them clear out–although I just got these dear things for Christmas–two months ago.

If I could wish a good fortune-y kind of wish for you–it would be that you could have a pair of squishy slippers to slog around in…

just like these ones.

Believe me, your feet would be very, very happy.

Mine certainly are.
