Three Good Things

[Edit:  The shorts pix were actually taken a couple months ago, Kelly and her dad at Lowe’s store getting treehouse stuff.  Yesterday was in the mid 70s but today is is too freaking cold at 31 degrees for anything but warm clothes!  Oh, that’s 31 Farenheit, friends!  Not that lovely Centigrade.]
I’ve been delighting in a blog by a fellow big-eyed gal for a long long time now, for like… almost two months!  What a great place to hang out ’cause no matter how hard the fit may be hitting the shan elsewhere, Lynn only posts good things.  Three a day.  Every day.  Like:
—  “Seeing my kitty’s happy face that I am home.  Even though she was well looked after by friend Leisa, she missed having me to boss around.”
—  “The scent of garlic in the air when entering the church and enjoying a delightfully garlicky meal of lasagna and garlic bread at the church dinner.”
—  “This morning on the back porch a butterfly landed on my lap, startling both of us. It flew to a nearby tree to collect itself.”
Pretty wonderful, eh?  Hope you will pop in and see her at her blog.  Her spirit reminds me a lot of my good buddy Jae here in Austin who has recently started a WordPress blog.  (Jae, when ya gonna let me link you up?  No pressure, Babe.  No pressure.)

And now… Three Good Great Things from Jannie!
1.  That husbandly guy in the photo above, he arrived back safe and sound from Canada a few hours ago.  Yay!!!!!
2.  Those Christmas parcels above?  I mailed them to Canada this morning!  (And they cost about $5.00 less each to send than I’d budgeted for, whee-hoo.)  Was going to send only gift cards but added in a few small trinkets for that personal touch, Kelly had “finger crocheted” necklaces, royal purple color, for all family members, grandpa Duncan included.  Will have to post a jpeg of him wearing that someday.
3.  That Child depicted above and below, she really likes her dad and me, actually likes hanging around with us.   Says she wouldn’t trade us for any other mom and dad in he world.  Well, If that don’t beat all!
And, of course, in the interest of Wild Comment Conversation, I ask you,  “What are three good things in your world these days?
