Clean Happy!

This post is late today, because I was working on a long-overdue house cleaning. Sometimes I grouse about cleaning, but it's generally not my most hated chore. That would be cooking! Anyhoo.... As I cleaned today I enjoyed all my stuff. It wasn't because of any kind of material value. Many of these things are probably not valuable to anyone but me. I enjoyed these things because of the memories attached. Here are some of those memories....

An angel from my sis-in-law who listens to what I love when I shop. She's truly the sis I never had!
The chair I rocked my babies in during the long nights...

The candy dish that Grandmama Carroll gave me. We miss you, Grandmama!


My grooviest mask in my collection from my sweet friend Christie who gave up her life to serve in South Africa only to find all her dreams coming true.... (Hope you're well, my prego friend!)


The "Aslan" I searched and searched for to remind me that Jesus is the King in our jungle!


One of Barry's turtles...that man really loves a tortoise!

But most of my happiness comes from things that aren't things...like Hilde!


Pictures that remind me of my little sweeties...



Who are now my very big honeys...

What makes you happy in your house? Dig up those memories while you dust!!
