I am sure you can't imagine such cold. Even schools are closed today and tomorrow due to the cold. So I love reading about summer and your garden, warm weather, and spring cleaning. <br />My grandchildren and great grandchildren are a joy to me and I am always happy to spend time with them. (one granddaughter and 2 great grandchildren live with me.) Some days I want to run away from home, lol. But most of the time I love being with them.<br />And meeting my good friend for tea at Miss Mollys Tea Room is such a pleasure. We meet every couple of months and have a lovely lunch, good tea and conversation. Such a happy way to spend a afternoon! Have a great afternoon.

I love picking fruit, making jam, building up my pantry, a cup of tea and a scone or cake!<br />Even our holidays seem similar to yours. Our next planned one is 4 days at a little beach side town. Its a long drive but quiet and gorgeous when we get there. I take a lot of our food with us. We have a lovely time. To me its perfection. No airports no stress, no debt. <br />I also love grocery shopping and looking for specials. A pot of soup on. Simple things. And being happy and content is the nicest thing in the world! Lovely to read what everyone lists too.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-91851388624343221072015-02-19T16:54:07.725+11:002015-02-19T16:54:07.725+11:00Seeing my granddaughter, either in person or on fa...Seeing my granddaughter, either in person or on facetime makes me the happiest.<br />Coffee makes me happy, just plain black no frills coffee<br />Warm sunny days make me happy.

They are so funny and one of my favourite parts of home. <br /><br />2) Trying new recipes and my family loving them. There's a recipe on the Kidspot website for "Home made Paddle Pops", which are just chocolate custard frozen in icypole moulds. My kids are loving them as a treat after school or dinner, and I love that they cost next to nothing ;) <br /><br />3) Being a SAHM. I love every day that I get to do things like help with reading at my daughter's school, and today my toddler and I had a lovely visit at home from my dad ("Pop"). It's simple little things that come from being at home that I would miss dreadfully if I were in paid work all week.
