It's often the little things in life which make us smile, isn't it?
This is what made me smile today:
Seeing my 91-year-old friend enjoying colouring in a picture with pencil crayons. Her eye-sight isn't too good, but she produced a lovely picture of some poppies.
Reading the replies I've had on here to my "Still Alive and Kicking" thread. How lovely that people take the trouble to reply.

That would make me smile too

Planning for her Advent calendar which I am going to make for her.
I love rainbows too, and the fresh scent in the air after a summer shower of rain.

Hi Slosh,
I think you must have a very big smile on your face today!
I'm envious of you that you have a baby in the family. My three grand-daughters are getting very grown-up these days, turning into young women before my eyes.
Hi Mig,
Only one year to wait then! You will be counting down the days when it gets nearer the time.
Yes the sun is shining here too! It makes you feel so much better, doesn't it? :sun:
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for the welcome back
Poor little girl with enlarged tonsils. I hope she isn't in pain and that they will get better soon.
I love to watch the birds too. Since our cat died, we've been able to put out food for them and one blackbird has become very tame.
I smiled today when I finished a birth sampler for my grandson. I took it to a shop to be framed and later the owner of the shop rang to say it is ready for collection and looks fabulous.
I can't wait to collect it tomorrow. It has only taken me a year to complete it. I thought it would take a couple of months!

I know it won't last but I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no ones definition of your life

Susie: You must have such a sense of achievement to see the sampler finished. Well done
Elizabeth: Wonderful what these injections can do! I've just had one too and I'm almost pain-free for the first time in months.
Slosh: So glad that you like the thread. I'm enjoying reading the comments too. They are very positive and heart-warming. Thanks very much folks

Should those responsible for the death of Cecil the lion be made to apologise, face to face, to his family?
Commentary on the Rugby League Semi-final:
"Ben Harrison will take no further part in the match. And Ben Westwood is suspended. So two Big Bens out for Warrington."

My husband made me smile (he does most days!)
He was supposed to go to the shop across the road to get some milk, but he forgot. By the time he realised, the shop was shut.
Me: Why didn't you go to get the milk :?:
Him: I heard they've run out because the Channel Tunnel is blocked.
Did you ever hear such a feeble excuse in your life :?:
Life is GOOD :!:
This too made me smile when Mr SW told me. He'd been playing golf this morning and the motorised trolley belong to one of his friends was refusing to start. Apparently the friend gave it a kick which resulted in the sight of one 70yr old haring up the fairway trying to catch his trolley.
That sounds like a scene from Monty Python! I can just imagine John Cleese playing the part and haring up the fairway with one of his funny walks
That sounds beautiful, applerose, rather like the old-fashioned cottage gardens.
My kitchen looked as though there'd been an explosion of backberries by the time I'd finished, but the jam is delicious
I have been asked to do stalls at a couple of Christmas fairs selling my origami flowers, cards and decorations. This is a really big deal for me as before all this started I did a lot of quilting and textile art and had begun to show my work as well as sell it. I had to give that up so I feel thrilled that not only have I now found another craft/hobby, but it is one that I can share.
