iHappy, a bit late.

It's Monday  Tuesday (and alas, the linky is closed, but that's ok. I'm still happy.) again (uh, just where did the weekend go?) and even though I am sad that it's not a lazy Sunday afternoon, I am glad to post these pictures of things that make me happy.  Thank you Brenda for this wonderful meme.

And NOW I'm also using this post to for FYBF hosted by Lori at RRSAHM because, well, because the play that my son is in this summer is TAKING OVER MY LIFE (help) and I haven't had 3 free minutes to myself to blog. But thats ok, right?  Who wants to read a rushed 3 minute blog post right?

Some things that make me happy...

This picture makes me happy for a couple of reasons. First, because I was at an orchard and I came home with fresh raspberries and black cherries. YAY! Second, I am terrible at taking pictures and couldn't manage to get the sign and my entire face into the photo even though the screen was showing me exactly how the completed picture would look.

Short attention span I guess. I like that about myself.

The upside being that I didn't get my chubby squirrel cheeks in this one, like ...

This is me and my favorite author, Lesley Kagen. Oh and a special guest appearance by  my squirrel cheeks. Dang. That hair do is not face flattering.

This pic still makes me happy though, because I have just talked to (for the second time) one of my favorite authors. I know, right?! 

I like this picture because it's dirty. This was painted in a local businesses window for a recent fair that was going on. 15,000 children probably walked past this. They probably thought, " Oh, how cute! Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck how very wholesome!" (yeah right)

However, it's the parents (well, the ones with their minds in the gutter like me) that had the last laugh.

What in the WORLD is going on with Bugs' crotch area?  He is obviously facing the crowd because he is holding that "salad" sign, so, why is his 'tail' on the front of his body, making it look suspiciously like...like...well, use your imagination. I did. It was not pretty.

And this is me blogging.

Blogging makes me happy.

You'd really think I'd do it more often.

iHappy. iAm. (mostly because iFinally figured this out.)

Brenda at Mummy Time has started a photo meme that I really like. It's called... (drumroll)... 

iHappy.

what you do is capture photos (on your iPhone-see the tie in? Or, yes on your Hemroid Android if that's what you got instead of an iPhone or whatever picture taking device you happen to be using.) of things that make uHappy.
 Easy. Smile inducing. Two things I've been called I love!

I have ATTEMPTED to do this every week since she started iHappy, to no avail.
I thought that (obviously) there was something wrong with either: my phone OR my work computer.
Turns out, Screw loose in the operator.  Shoulda' known.
Moving on.
This is also a linky-mabobber so you'll have to Click on Brenda's name up there to get ALL the deets. Ok?

Sooo. Here are some things that make me happy.

The beach. Thankfully, Michigan has an abundance of beaches readily available.  This happens to be an overcast day, but even an overcast day at the beach is better than a sunny day in the snow to me.

Stairways. Painted doors. Bricks. Especially when I can find them all together. This door is green, by the way. Had I not used a retro app to take this picture, you would be able to see how cool it is.

Flowers. And stones. Again, especially when I can find them together.

Flowers. I really just love flowers.

Broken woodland creature garden statuary. Yep. This makes me happy.

 

Small, yet intricate details. This hinge is in a door in the building where I work. The building is old so we are constantly finding details like these. Don't even get me started on the original tin ceiling. TO DIE FOR.

 I spend lots of time examining this hinge and looking for other little details like this.

There are, of course many, many, more things that make me happy.

Next week my dears.

Next week.
