Rules of this tag: Share five things in your life that make you happy! Go back and link your post on The Bargain Shopper Lady’s blog, even if she was not the friend who tagged you! After you are finished, tag five more friends! Let’s see how many moms we can get to participate!

1. Eating home made ice cream straight out of the bucket with my kids in the middle of the morning.
2. Finding hand written letters in my mailbox
3. Learning to be faithful with little things
4. Discovering obscure treasures at garage sales
5. Reading to my children as they drift to sleep (Sleep? Right - who am I kidding!?!) the beautiful lines that Pa sang to his girls By The Shores of Silver Lake:

It is not much the world can give
With all its subtle art;
And gold and gems are not the things
To satisfy the heart;
But Oh, if those who cluster round
The alter and the hearth
Have gentle words and loving smiles
How beautiful the earth

I am tagging Mary, Lauren, Anne, Grateful Heart, and Virginia.
