The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag 8 people to do the same.


Day 7
Waking up this morning to the smell of pine through the house from our tree. Fresh pine means Christmas.

Buying flowers for the kitchen. I always have fresh flowers in the kitchen, it's the room where I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time. Flowers and a candle. Normally I buy chrysanthemums because they last for two weeks and I love the colours, but today they had all these Fancy arrangements because of the holidays and of course at double the price. Then I spotted some gorgeous pink and white flowers, no idea what they are, but they weren't expensive so they're in the kitchen tonight, in my mother's big cut glass vase that she inherited from her mother… I like to use old things, I like the feeling of continuity. It's somehow peaceful.

Sitting all alone and watching Babe on TV this afternoon. Smiling in all the smiley places. Occasionally switching channels to dip into The Neverending Story.

Don't you love that smell? It's so peaceful!

Pink and white flowers sound so lovely... I wouldn't know where to put them in my kitchen because it has been taken over by Mr. Nienna. However, I like them on the chest in my living room. As long as the cats leave them alone...

I'm rambling--- must be bed time, LOL!

Nice life. Go to bed. Wake up. Look at snow. Don't go to work. Hang out. Drink rum. Go to bed....

I am very big into using heirlooms, too. It's as if you can "feel" the other person's signature left on them. :)

Oh yes, it is. I've had a few funny looks for having what is really a very good vase in the kitchen, but I always picture my gran and my mom there, so it fits somehow. And one day, my oldest daughter will have it - if it survives. I worry every time we move, lol.

*hugs*
