These are some of the things in life that I enjoy and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Lets share!

I just love cups and saucers.  My mother always said that I could have hers. She had given them to me once, but when my second marriage broke up she took them from the house so that he wouldn't have them. They are at my sister's now.

Beautiful stemware  . . .  my boss in the U.K. had gorgeous sets of stemware.  Even Waterford crystal. Her champagne flutes were beautiful. I have no need for any of it, but that doesn't stop me from admiring it.

The sight of wood, cut, split, stacked and ready for the Winter  . . . I used to love it when we got our load of wood in for the Winter.  My husband would rent a splitter and he and the kids would split it and stack it all, ready to go  . . .

I love a red door  . . .  when we built our house in New Brunswick, I painted our doors red. To me, a red door says welcome!

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Persian Tomato Rice.  This is a simple dish with rice, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, turmeric, some seasoning and water.  Simple ingredients, put together in the most delicious way!

I hope that you have a beautiful Thursday!  I have the recall puff test at the eye doctors this afternoon.  I hope that I pass it! Whatever you get up to today, do be happy, be blessed, stay safe and don't forget!
