High on the Feel Good Ladder....

Today was a really good day on the "feel good" ladder. If every day could be this good or better! I had a couple of things on the back burner that were kinda in limbo and still are to a certain point but I am a little closer to reality. Biggest one is that we may have found some land in Marietta, SC, about 3-5 miles northwest? of Travelers Rest. There are still some nuts and bolts to finalize: price, how much (between 2-5 acres), etc. but at least it is in the works. We haven't told anyone about it because everything is not ironed out yet. What the overall plan is is to pay the land off then build a house on it. Not sure what size or plans for the house right now.
Had a good day at work. I mentioned yesterday about wearing the one ear plug in my right ear, right? Well, it was not working really well and I mentioned it to one of my co-workers, who politely told me that I was suppose to pinch it together then roll it between my forefinger and thumb then insert it in my ear and then it explands (ever so gently, remind you) to the contour of my ear. What a great big difference that made. Of course, I totally felt like an idiot because I have been walking around with the ear plug poking half way out of my ear and I thought that it was because they are initially ordered for the guys in our buffing department because of the noise and they have BIG EARS!!!!! Yes I have to laugh at myself which I do rather frequently nowadays!
Would it not be nice to be as carefree as Allyssa is in the top picture? I took this picture at Dakota's birthday party. Braydon, Randy's nephew, who is about 5 years old was keeping the football from Allyssa and she, being the sweet little angel that she is, just turned around and ran back to the swing as if she did not have a care in the world, except of course for "a little boy who likes me and is trying to keep the football from me, because I am a girl and he thinks I cannot throw it"!
Then there is Dakota and Allyssa (anxiously waiting for her piece of cake). Allyssa eats just the icing off the cake and now Dakota is doing the same thing.
The picture of Dakota running.....well, she had just received this Elmo plush blanket and she did not even get it unfolded before she took off at a big run to Allyssa's room, turns the tv on (because she knows that is what Allyssa does when she goes to bed) and jumps on the bottom bunk bed and lays there!!!!! Everybody else is wondering what she is doing. She is such a baby doll. She finally came back in to the living room to open the rest of her gifts. If it was clothes she would look at them, drop them and head for the next gift until she opened a baby doll, or walmart stroller or her last gift was a Radio Flyer Tricycle from Papa Bob and Mema Linda.
Well, I am out of time again.....
