Things that make me happy...

A fresh roll of paper Towels with happy veggies on it.
New wonderful smelling hand soap from my daughter.


The last little love note on the frig from my hubby on a dry erase board...


A frig full of pictures of the family.


Front


Overflow pics on an old pizza tin on my pantry door...


A clean kitchen counter.


My Beta Fish over the kitchen sink...




A beautiful plaque that hubby made for me a few years ago with the notes to Amazing Grace cut out with his scroll saw ♥


Wedding photo of my Mom and Dad in June 1929 hung on a gold ribbon in my living room.


Music of all kinds except Rap-ha!  I still play my violins, piano, mandolin, harmonica and guitar.  Music was a big part of our lives in our house.  




What makes you happy??  I would love to hear!


God Bless and have a wonderful day!


My heart to yours...

My Sister Mary...

Please visit my sister blog http://kerrieskorner.blogspot.com/ To see this picture with a poem written to my sister. I have been gathering photos for my Autobiography and my brother-in-law, Mary's husband, has provided me with a wealth of photos including this one. I am delighted.  I had never seen this particular picture before.
I have many photos in baggies when they should be in albums!  So I am trying to organize them better in shoeboxes by date and separated by index cards.  At least they will be easier to work with once I am ready to put them into albums or scrapbooks.  I also keep shorthand books as journals or diaries as they are easy to handle and I can even write on them while sitting in bed.  I record poems, the days happenings and my little sketches to be enjoyed by my children and grandchildren some day.  A shorthand book will hold a year or more of memories. 
   If you have photos that are laying around, at least take your favorites and put them in scrapbook if nothing else so that they are protected and preserved for future generations.  We nostalgia lovers buy post cards and photos of strangers, how much more precious when we know the people in them!
