Happy, Little Things

So the sun has not been shining at all lately and girlfriend is really starting to feel the affects. 

Seriously. I can handle the cold but I NEED TO SEE THE SUN!
No sun and cold and sickness and a root canal later today. Sigh.

Yep, Charlotte is still sick today ...my poor baby.
Neither of the kids have ever been hit like this with the flu before and actually I don't think I ever have either. I feel bad for my girl. And let me tell you, I have watched every Princess movie we have. Beauty and the Beast at least 6 times, seriously....Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, you name it. I think it's time for a trip to the library for some new movies, these are getting old.
Oh, wait.... I can't go to the library, remember?

Oh well.

So in an effort to make myself feel a little better today, here are a few things that just make me happy...

Balloons in a cornfield at sunset. And this boy.
This boy who just this morning while getting ready for school said;
"Man, if Char isn't better soon I'm gonna have to call in to school."
I said; "Why?" and he said; "So I can help take care of her!"

Grocery store flowers from my husband. But I don't care if I have to buy them myself, I do.
Flowers in the house just make me happy.  Oh and the back door open with the sun shining is
 up there pretty high on my list, too.

Juke boxes. But not just any juke box, a good old-fashioned juke box.
Full of good music. Good bar music.

Sitting on my front porch drinking coffee in the morning. In nice weather...barefoot and still in my pj's. With pretty green trees to look at. Now that's the way to start your day.

 How much my girl plays with these bunnies. Best investment ever.  I love all of these Calico Critters
 and I'm not gonna lie, I  secretly want this elephant family for myself. I bet not one day has
 passed since Christmas that she has not played with them, seriously.

Perfectly gorgeous sunlight. And sun flare. And family holidays at the cabin/Farm. This was Labor Day.
I feel warmer just looking at this picture.

Our little children's library table that sits right in our living room. This was given to me by a family friend complete with little chairs. I keep paper and craft supplies in a caddy right on the table and the kids use it every single day. Having that stuff out for them to see makes a big difference.  Love this table.

Old signs. The old ones painted on brick buildings that you can barely read are the best though.

Records. Old records, new records...some things just sound better on vinyl.

Vintage cameras. Love, love, love. Always on the look-out for more.

Cute shoes. And most of all, a reason to wear them.

*****
I feel a little better already. A little.

I hope everyone is having a good week. It's Wednesday, the week is half over.
Oh, I'm loving this song today, too.
What's making you happy today?
