Did you do or see anthing or anyone this weekend that made you happy, laugh, etc.? :idontno:



This morning we kayaked with Gypsea- her company is always enjoyable and fun. We took to the marshes at the back of Western Lake into the creek/canal. It was like another world- but the best part was seeing 2 very young blue heron chicks. They were still pretty fuzzy.:wub:

I saw a photo this weekend that made me happy and laugh--I'm sure being there was even better, but the Kitty sandwich photo is priceless! :wub:
Honestly...my hummingbird feeder and its friends are an endless source of happiness for the Pods. We sit out on the deck--very quietly--and watch them, listen to their wings and freak out every single time over how fast the wings whir. It's kind of corny, maybe, but it has become our summer hobby.

Hummingbird's make me very happy. At my last house, before the one I now live in, had lot's of woods around it and I had a beautiful big glass sun room on one side of the house. I enjoyed feeding all the birds, I bought books and learned all about the different type of birds and how they feed. Like ground feeders....such as doves, tree climbers...... such as nuthatchs, and then the ones that eat in trees or the tall feeders. I had feeders everywhere! Like to have went broke trying to keep them all full.....P.S....I HATE SQUIRRELS!!! :angry:


My all time favorite was always the hummingbirds, I had a double feeder out on the front lawn in front of the glass sunroom, they got so used to me I could go out and while I was trying to hang them they would feed WHILE I was holding the feeder!!! Absolutely breathtaking! Amazing feeling and sounds.....they really do hummm, you can feel the wind off their wings. One weekend my friend had spent the weekend with me (Mermy you met her, DKA you know her she sings "my humps") and we walked out early one morning to hang my hummingbird feeder and we were still in our robes......she had on this beautiful silk floral robe......she is not exactly small butted (sorta like myself!) .....and this one hummingbird kept trying to eat out of the flowers on her robe.....she said "Poor thing.......it thought it had hit the mother load!!!":funn: :funn: :floor:

We took the fam to see "Blue Jacket" tonight. It's a live drama of Ohio and Indian history. Loved the look on the kids :wub: faces as they watched the flaming arrows, guns and cannons. Very cool.

  • New friends that I haven't met, who send me messages telling me that I'm missed
  • Living in a house for a couple of weeks with another bunch of new friends, doing something that I love to do, and getting paid for it.
  • Teenagers who want to learn so badly that they will do things that adults would never attempt in a million years.
  • Fast roller coasters.
  • Family, whether they are related to me or not.
  • Bedtime.

This weekend we listened to Alison Krauss downtown and she gave an excellent concert. It made me feel good to be back home in Indiana.

And last night my neighbor friend gave me a pair of Donald Pliners she said she never wore. Can you believe my luck. :biggrin:

I believe what most makes me happy currently is hearing beautiful music being made daily throughout my house.

The sound of laughter. I love to hear my kids when they get tickled about something and can't stop. The memory of my daddys laugh is the best.

Um, maybe you should clarify this, because I believe this might be illegal.
