Celebrate with Me and a Giveaway! Woo Hoo!

Well hi there! Can we say wooo hoooo to power being restored? Boy oh boy does it seem like I've been gone forever! I sure have missed you! I will be around all this week to catch up and visit!

As many of you know, I'm a pretty simple, happy, positive person, that chooses to focus on the good things in life. We all get sad, we all have hard times, we all have issues, but if we can train ourselves to focus on all the simple things that bring us so much joy, I truly believe that the flood gates of happiness open and good things flow more easily into our lives.

With that being said, I have lots to Celebrate this month! Take a little hop with me.

First, I am celebrating all the men and women who worked round the clock for six days to bring our power back! The power supply to my house comes from a swampy, icky forest! Those folks have to treck into that mess with all the creepy bugs and snakes to fix the lines! So I celebrate them and the fact that the bunnies were soooooooo happy to return to Bunnyville! They ran around like lunatics for almost 20 minutes straight! Woo hooo!

Next I am celebrating that August 28th was Harrington's one year adoption day! He is 2 1/2 years old.

"Really Mama? A year already?
I'm soooo happy that this precious, little, fuzzy, boy, with the wonky ear, came into my life a year ago. He is just the sweetest thing! Love you Harrington! Umm...I mean Sir Walter Harrington.  ;)

Next I am celebrating breakfast with my niece, Noelle, who loves bunnies as much as I do! Auntie loves you little sprite! Thanks for coming to visit me! (The fairies of Bunnyville Ivy said to tell you hello!)

I also want to celebrate Pops! Isn't he just the cutest fella? In this photo he is decorating a Valentine house with his family! Yes, a Valentine house! How fun! I could just squeeze the pudd'in right out of him! Pops is the dad of my good friend, Kris from Lavender Quilts. Pops is 94 years old and lives with Kris, who takes care of him. I too celebrate Kris for being such a loving, kind, daughter and all around good person in my book!

 I simply adore older people. Two years ago, on August 26, my Cutie grammy became an angel. She was 92. I still celebrate her every day especially when I see something with sparkle or glitter. :) Love ya Cutie and miss ya very much. I know your light still shines in me.

Next I want to celebrate the baby geese that made it through all the hard times (see the Mother's day post) and grew up to be brave and strong. Here they are walking down the middle of my street like a biker gang! A few seconds after this photo, they all flew off straight down the street! It was fabulous!

I celebrate bugs that can turn leaves into lace. I know my neighbor didn't find it quite as cool as I did, but I was fascinated that they ate the leaves and left the flower. To me they created art! To my neighbor, they made a mess! hee,hee,hee.

Finally, I celebrate you! My friend and follower! I can't thank you enough for your friendship and for following along with me and the bunnies and all our little adventures.
