OT Life's Simple Pleasures

Yesterday was DS2 Birthday. (He moved to FL last
summer, so we missed celebrating with him.) We had
some nice phone visits. He is a wonderful man; we
consider ourselves very fortunate.

AND ... some yellow daffodils are blooming in our
yard! So maybe, just maybe, Spring will come here
soon.

What is making you happy this week?

I was happy today because I babysat my 9 month old DGS. He is so smart and
kind of leaky today. He has a little cold and his nose was running like
crazy. He just lights up my life. Yes, I have other grandkids, but he is
special.

I ain't been fired yet. My sweetie still loves me, and he still seems
fairly healthy. My cats are healthy. My dog is currently pain free. I'm
so near to finishing the 1390 quilt I can taste it, and it goes into
competition this weekend (anticipation over reactions!- I expect to be
flattered loads over it).

There's a cake in the oven, and I don't get to eat it, but gosh it
smells good.

DH is home from the hospital (2nd knee replacement), QI is home from the
doggy motel, and I'm sitting here sipping a glass of wine feeling as though
all is right with the world!

SIL is visiting for the first time and we are getting along famously, Meg
has taken quite a shine to her, and DH is feeling really good about seeing
his little sis again.
A special project Im working on is coming together nicely, and all seems
right with the world.

I woke up this morning. I was able to take my daily walk. I mowed part of
the lawn. I have a family to love and that loves me. And I have a quilt
ready to bind.

The sun is shining; I have just played my first game of social tennis
since I damaged a knee ligament 4 weeks ago. It held up so I am
happyg
I am ready to start a new quilt project (or should I continue on with
my antique quilt top quilting.....)
And get I deliver the two quilts I have just finished as gifts this
week.
And we fly to Melbourne on Thurs to visit my twin sister and our
mother.
Life's good.

Pink jasmine and orange tree are blooming at the same time. It smells so
sweet here it is almost enough to make one swoon! Very intoxicating.
Despite cool night temps, I must have the bedroom window open at night so I
can enjoy this fleeting pleasure. The desert is a riot of color right now,
everything is blooming. And the birds are singing their spring songs, they
are much more pleasant than an alarm clock! I got an unexpected raise in
pay. My mother has been cancer-free for more than five years. Life is
sweet!!!

Well Pat the happy comes from the bad today. Started the morning with
the pup in the vet's for an eye injury. With the meds she should be
fine. Mid day I got a call from DH at the ER that he's been in a wreck
and they had taken him to the hospital. SInce he works for the dept.
of Transportation and is often out and about on the fwys. there is
always a concern there. Anyway after a very thorough exam they found
he is ok. I was able to collect him and he is home safe.
I am very happy and grateful too.
Been a long day but I am happy all is well.

My daffodils are spent but there are iris and all my fruit trees in
bloom. Our brown So. Calif. hills are green and beautiful. There is
snow looking so pretty on the mountains. It is a wonderful time of
year.

Oh, Pat, that sounds wonderful. I had a very rewarding day today, when
I taught some gals in my Guild free-motion quilting. They were attentive
and appreciative, and I passed along hints I learned from Sue Nickels'
class at MAQF. I rewarded myself with a small bowl of lemon and
strawberry jelly beans...Yum! Nancycog in MD
