Thanks to sweet Shari over at Little Blue Deer for passing on the Happy 101 Award to me! Shari has such elegant taste and her blog has been such a true joy to read. It makes me happy, and I am sure it will make you happy as well! Please stop by her blog and you will see what I mean....gorgeous!
Now I'm supposed to list 10 things that make me happy:
1. My Family~ Whom I Cherish Every Minute of the Day~Our Health & Happiness
(one of my favourite pictures in the world... my son meeting his brother for the first time...)
2. My Girlfriends~old and new
3. Random Acts of Kindness and Compassion
(like Bluebonnets & Indian Paintbrush flowers hand-picked and given to me by my friend Dona)
4. Honky Tonk Bars with a Good Juke Box and Ice-Cold Beer Mugs...shuffleboard table pure bonus
(my faves: Old Absinthe House in New Orleans, Georges in Waco, and Adair's & Time Out Tavern in Dallas... Good Jukebox = lots of Brooks & Dunn, Dwight Yoakam, Elvis, Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rolling Stones, Mambo Kings, Robert Earl Keen, Journey, Van Halen, Boston, Ziggy Stardust, The Doors, Earth Wind & Fire, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, Hank Williams Jr., James Brown, Jerry Jeff Walker, Jimmy Buffet, Texas Tornadoes, Santana, Steely Dan, Supertramp, Tito Puente, Waylon Jennings)

7. The Smell of my Children after they are Showered and in in their PJ's
8.Karaoke
(I'm sure I will be embarrassed by showing this picture of me singing Black Eyed Peas at my 20th High School Reunion...what have I done...I was trying so hard to sing my best and took it so seriously, and now I look at the picture and I look totally ridiculous! But I LOVE to sing, and am completely tone deaf, but when I have that microphone in front of me -- PURE HAPPINESS-- but this photo--oy!--Oh well, at least I can laugh at myself!!...)
9. Sushi, Pizza, Ice Cream and German Chocolate
(Sashimi, Caribbean Roll, Cherry Roll, Ahi Tuna~ yummy... and Grimaldi's, Marco's and Louie's Pizza in Dallas are the best)
10. LAUGHTER
