What have you seen lately that's put a smile on your face? (Page 2)

About every six weeks or month or so in the spring and summer and fall, when I arrive at my favorite park, knowing there is a 50 mile road bikeride in front of me with 1500 feet of elevation change every 22 miles and I have 3 or 4 hours to ride, that puts a smile on my face.  There's deer, owls, coyotes, red tail hawks, the woods and serenity.

Also, when I figure out how to post pics again, the black/white mix Cavalier spaniel / Japanese Chin that we rescued last week.  When I get up for a swim and when I come home, she's there at the door with her underbite...

& my wife's face as she asked me for pizza

 Ummmm..... no shots required if I had that.  BTW, just had second 3 hour session on my back tattoo and was quite painful.  Had to find my happy place at times and flashed back to a trip to Disney California and remembered my daughter at the age of 2 while waiting to see Winney the Pooh.  About every two minutes (and for anyone that hasn't waited in line to see him, the wait is almost 2 hours) she would yell out "POOOOOOHHH BEEEEAAAARRR!!!".  Of course she was a hit toeveryone in line.  Unfortunately she fell asleep like 2 minutes before getting to Pooh but the memory will always make me smile!  

I looked over this morning to see my 5year old son sitting at the breakfast table (alone) with his eyes closed and hands folded saying grace before he ate.  No one asked him to.

These are the times when I think, "OK, maybe we did a few things right."  

The other day I let my lab out for a run in the backyard.  The area I was standing in was completely covered with sheer ice......

After a few minutes, I stupidly called him back to me and he ran at me full force (typical lab), tried to stop, slid on the ice and hit my knees, sending my feet out behind me and causing me to fall flat onto his back and then we both crashed to the ground. 

 I have to get a smaller dog.

My 8 yr old son has been making pop-up cards for his mother recently.  His original sayings in the cards:

1.  Stars don't know the difference between love and flowers.

2.  No matter what you score, you will always rank.

Made me smile.  Still trying to figure out the first one.

Yesterday the morning started 70 deg so i pulled the lifted Jeep out of the garage, put the top down, pulled the doors off, got my road music cd collection out and drove...

 to work.  Well i smiled for about an hour anyway.

This not only put a smile on my face, but also made me laugh my a$$ off!!!!  Keifer has access to 2 dogs beds, 1 queen and 1 full size bed, but felt the laundry basket better suited his needs today

My son nabbed the bag for my workout cords, so naturally he decided to wear it as a hat and sit on the floor singing the happy song (his version: "Hap! Hap! Hap! Hap!) and clapping his hands.
