Things That Make Me Happy

a flat full of flowers
flying kites

a flower picked for me by my sweet girl on her way home from school


roses from the grocery store (um, that i bought myself)


and cleaning the bathroom, to have Lex say,


"Something's wrong, the mirror looks clean."

Oh, the joys of spring.

I do appreciate all the seasons since moving to Utah. Especially spring. Do you know someone named Gates? She's remarried and has another name now. Anyway, she lives on Larkin Ln and is about to put her house up for sale and it's got 5 bedrooms. I think she's gonna give someone a great deal. She's already bought another house and wants to sell it as is. Call me if you want to go see it. Mimi

I love spring! It needs to get warm. So we can leave the warm coats in the closet and break out the Flip-flops that Stacy & Clinton say no too.

Mimi Sue said...

I haven't heard from her either. Are we being too pushy?

Wow Aubrey! Great pics! Maybe you can give me a quick lesson on up-close shots sometime?!

Mimi Sue said...

Maybe I should just ask Tiffany for the pattern. That way nobody gets arrested. Mimi

Ahh, the signs and sounds of spring, can't wait! I think you've got all kinds of reasons never to clean the mirror again. :)

Lex is funny; that really is a cool picture of your flower. Your other flowers are looking really good too!

Hi Aubrey! :-)

My definition of "shoestring budget" is probably the same as yours. There are times when the electricity is seriously in jeopardy of being cut off, and we park the truck backwards, so that the repo man can't come take it in the middle of the night.
My husband and I are starving artists, just trying to chase our dreams. It's fear and excitement, wrapped up in a cinderblock package. :-)

well that sounds perfectly spring like to me :).

My favorite thing my kids said about my bathroom: "what's that DELICIOUS smell in the bathroom?!?!" I'd just hung a new showercurtain liner, and I guess the smell of plastic was 'delicious' to them :)

Enjoy your flowers!

Liz-ing: when you're laughing so hard it makes you whiz (pee).

Hey- did you get my email? I got a message saying it wasn't delivered. I got the swing set at Toys'r'us. My father in law went there last Saturday and got one for $499. Check out the ads online or just search for them online. You can call and see if they have them in stock and if they don't they can order them at no extra charge (I think). Anyways here is a couple of links http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3025500

This is the one we have and we bought it at the end of April and got it for $550... http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3438316

GOOD LUCK! Sorry about the novel

Hey Aub- Just wanted to let you know that I'm listening to your song list today at work to avoid the constant jackhammering noises on the building that is being constructed next door.

Great songs!
