68. The trees that flower in the spring.
69. Any color, size or shape of a blooming flower. It's impossible to chose a favorite among all the bountiful beauties.
And especially flowers with water droplets...
70. A quail sitting on a fence makes me happy.
71. Unique doors in Tucson make me happy...
72. Peach Sangria at Carrabas is a happy drink!
73. It is almost impossible to list all who make me happy....
- My children (Lisa and Lane)
- My son-in-law and my daughter-in-law (Sam and Nelly)
- My grandchildren (Brandon, Bailey, Brie)
- My grand daughter-in-law (Hilary)
- My great grandchild (Matilda Mae)
- My brother, my brothers-in-law, my sisters-in-law
- My friends (too many to list, I am blessed)
- My kids (Cinder & Toby)
- And all who lead me in spiritual direction
Until next time.....
