Those Little Things That Make Your Days GRAND

Ya, still here.
Just busy with daily...life.
Don't have much to bring to the table...
actually...a lot to the table...
just not a whole lot else.

Last weekend we went to our monthly dinner club.
Paula Deen recipes!
I made this.
Liked it so much that I made it again last night for my family!
Kids just couldn't get enough!
Definitely a new staple here.
I know, I know...Paula and the whole diabetes thing.
I'm still a fan of the gal.
And WOW!  Liking what sweet southern lady has here too!
~swoon~!!!!

So here I am, off to dinner club.
Had some shot of hubs and me, but Emily cut our heads off.
Just moi will have to do.
I bought this dress merely because I love the handkerchief hem.
Monday hubs and I celebrated 19 years!
Yessiree...Jan. 16, 1993...the night we met!
Crazy fraternity party...
romantic, huh?
I tell the girls that when Jon first laid eyes on me,
he told me that he had to have me in his life!
They love that story!
Emily asked if we met in 1777.
We tell her that Jon rode in on his dinosaur!
Jon, Henry and I spent our "anniversary" day shopping!
Hubs got some new snow boots
(since we have YET to see any real accumulations here).
So now we have his and her Sorels...
See?  Told you we are  romantic!
Daily life...just buzzing by.
It's those little things, moments that make it all okay.

Like Italian nite at our home.
I may be late in the game, but made my first olive oil dip!
Olive oil, balsamic, minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, basil. 
Definitely made me smile!

And one of my best moments...
At hippotherapy.
This horse watching Henry in therapy.
It was a beautiful moment.
Rocky the horse (not a horse that Henry rides) just stood there watching Henry.
Snorted a bit,
think he wanted Henry to come play!

Ah, yes...it's those tiny things that make your days so big.
Makes you see what's really special..
what's really important...
what makes you happy.
Enjoy your Thursday!
I'm off to love on this little man...and yep, enjoying every moment of it!
