Daily Smile...

Come along for a walk in the Garden with me this is a daily occupation of mine just in case I miss something ... You Know how it is ... Almost always with a coffee in hand... telling myself I Will Not Weed at all until I finish My Coffee First !!! Inevitably half empty coffee cups are found on a regular basis throughout My Garden LOL. Tis just the best way to begin the Day & brings a Smile to my face without even trying...

Things That Make Me Smile.

Just last week I read A Blog that had a Magic idea by posting Daily for a Week just what made her Smile for the Day & well if I could just remember where I read that so as I could Link... because I have spent the majority of this week searching for that Blog would you believe !!! Don't you just hate that... Whoever... Wherever... just want you to know I think it's a great idea & so sorry I could not find you... Bloghopping tends to do this to me I'm afraid !!!

But here goes...

Every Evening right @ the same time each day *My Boys* come up to the water trough for a drink & then linger hoping for scratches on the butt... something they just adore to Bits & Pieces so much so the bottom lip even wobbles as you vigorously scratch the butt of their tails !!! We always warn any new trainers about their love of scratches as swinging their butts around for a scratch can very easily be misconstrued !!! A fair bit of jostling for best position goes on too ... Just love the expression of complete & utter Bliss on their faces...

Secret Santa Swap 2008.

Much Excitement... Chookyblue is having another Secret Santa Swap !!! Slip on over to Check it Out here but be quick though as there are lots of Bloggers just like me that adore the thought of giving & receiving from an unknown Swap partner @ Christmastime... Just Too Much Fun. As I'm always on the lookout for Christmassy projects I always have a few in mind so now to decide which one... that's half the fun of course! With Much Merriment & Jingles I now have the perfect reason to order that gorgeous red Christmas fabric I spotted Online just this week !!!

Thankfulness.

Recently a very dear old friend of mine has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer @ 77yrs & pretty much everything has gone on hold to be with him & his wife during this very confronting & testing time of biopsy's, scans , x-rays & furthur testing because simply... this magic couple have been there for me thru thick & thin over the years & now it's my chance to give with an open heart as they have taught me so well over the years... A Special Friendship I'm truly grateful for. He's always been a glass half full kinda guy So... we are ahead already @ this point !!!
