Seaworld - Monday - Day 29

The show has changed; it's not as captivating or entertaining.  The trainers can no longer get in the water with the killer whales, so it's just not as FUN.  But, it's still pretty amazing that orcas can be trained to jump and splash...that part is still very amzing.  And, it makes my heart leap for joy to see them jump out of the water...hard to catch on camera, however.

Day 27 - Sunday - Priesthood Power

A Day to Remember; Oscar and Bridger were ordained to the priesthood; and no, Oscar didn't wear shorts to church, but he was eager to change his clothes.  And, yes, Allen did wear a yellow shirt to church; he forgot his white shirt.  YIKES.  But, it was all okay; he wasn't kicked out of the church.

(Except the vacuum just broke!)

Day 21 - Monday

Avery frolicking on the front lawn....oh, she's a cutie....She's just so happy all the time.  I love her disposition.  Her little sister, Skye, is equally engaging.  Fun times with the Stout girls and they definitely make me happy!

Home-made Bread!

There is absolutely NOTHING like hot bread right out of the oven!  So delicious, yummy, and this recipe is particularly good for you - lots of freshly ground whole wheat flour.  Happy Day on bread-making day.....

Books on Tape

I listen when I exercise; I listen as I run errands around town.  What a great thing to be able to do and it makes me happy!
Right now, I'm listening to David Copperfield, which is really sad, so that part isn't so good.

Portrait of my Mother; Added Bonus Her European Purse

Seeing this picture on the wall makes me happy any day, but especially today on her birthday.

The Challenge...

to look for something that made you happy over 100 days.

Well, that looked like an interesting challenge.

I had previously done a picture a day for one year.  It was fun, even though I can't find any of the pictures right now.

I also do a picture every day on my phone on an app called COLLECT.  It is a sort of journal and I am enjoying it a lot.

So, when a friend posted this idea, I jumped on board...

Starting April 1....

Here is my first entry from yesterday...April 1.
Hyacinth at the temple on a cold, windy morning.
