Inspired by Christie Wyman at Wondering and Wandering, I decided to write a list of what is making me happy this week. I have a sinus infection, so that is not on my list, but otherwise, I have much to be happy about.
- I have the week off for Mardi Gras break.
- My dog is snuggled up next to me on his blanket.
- I get daily texts from my daughter with pictures of my grandson, Leo, who is growing and getting cuter by the day. He’ll be 3 months old tomorrow.
- The wood ducks have laid 5 eggs in the wood duck house. I wrote about setting up the house on this slice.
- I had a wonderful time with family in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Here are two of my daughters ready for Mardi Gras Day.
- My husband is my best friend and lifelong dance partner.
- The azaleas are blooming.
- This sinus thing is giving me lie-on-the-sofa-reading-slices time.
If you are happy, join the party. Grab Christie’s graphic and join in!
Reflections on the Teche 
This sounds like a wonderful week, I am so jealous of the reading time you are getting.
Great photos — your grandson kills me! So much adorableness in a wee package.
What a happy slice! Reading about what makes you happy made me happy! 🙂 I love seeing pictures of your precious grandson. And I’m excited about your wood duck eggs! How wonderful. Your daughters look festive and beautiful!
Thanks for coming to the party, Margaret. Loved having you! So much to be happy about! Leo and the wood duck eggs continue to make me smile. 🙂 — Christie
Mardi Gras break….I didn’t know it was called this for you! What a cute baby grandson.
Oh my, I’m going to have to borrow this one for sure! Love the one about getting texts with photos of your grandsons. My mom texts me all day long with photos of her cats! Napping here, napping there, LOL. Hope you’re feeling better soon!
I cannot believe Leo is almost 3 months! He gets cuter everyday! I am so excited about your wood duck house! Hope you are feeling better!
What a happy slice – and even with a sinus infection. Now that’s impressive. I have to admit that I am unreasonably excited about your duck house and that I am inordinately jealous of your azaleas. You should not be surprised when I just show up for a visit – and then I could meet Leo in person, too. Hm… this visit is sounding better and better. Speaking of, I hope you feel better soon.
We have room. Come on down. We are only 2 hours from New Orleans.
Don’t you just love being a grandma?! Leo is adorable! Cherish those daily photos and moments with your little guy. My babies (3 grandsons) just turned 3 years old! (Already!) Hope your sinus infection heals quickly!
Really? 3 years, already? That went fast.
Love all of the pictures! Especially love Leo’s new hat! And I’m absolutely going to have my own Happy Party – thanks for sharing Christie’s idea.
Sounds like you have a bunch of poems in this post Margaret! Leo is beyond adorable!!! Love the ears too, and the pictures of your daughter’s. Hope that sinus infection blows away soon, and you feel much better 🙂
