Day 25 of Happy

It's Day 25 of the August Happiness Challenge! If you want to join in, create an icon of something, anything, that makes you happy, post your 'happy', and head over to One Gal's Musing and let her know, in the comments, that you're on board! That's it!

Today, memories make me happy! Ok, yes. Sometimes I will tear up when my memories take over my day but they aren't bad tears. They're kind of bittersweet in that I am so very grateful for the memories even though I miss the people or the times. Here are a few of my happy memories:

My grandparents:

Family reunions at Papa Campbell's house:

Cousins:

Sitting on Santa's lap:

The Lovelies' excitement at Christmas:

And so many more! Thank goodness for happy memories!

What's making y'all happy today?

Wonderful photos! I like the baby doll that was included in the last picture. What makes me happy today? Knowing all my family are employed and their needs met.

What great photos!! I have so many wonderful memories of those big family gatherings and food that just went on forever, spread out on the tables. Cousins, aunts & uncles, grandparents. Noisy, fun and so beautiful. Blessed!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
