Do these look like a 7 1/2?? Well, they are. This girl goes through soccer shoes like nobody's business. At least her old ones didn't fall apart on the field like they did last time. She has 3 games this weekend, so technically, having the extra pair on a wet weekend, might not be such a bad idea after all! Every girl loves new shoes - even when they are just for soccer!

Maria's happiness comes in a $4 box. These are all the girl scout cookies she delivered over the past 2 weeks - we had buyers from right down our street all the way to Vermont! But nobody loves a Girl Scout Cookie like Uncle Loren! he was our biggest supporter this year and Maria is sending out a super hug to everyone who bought some this year.

Happiness for Mom comes when a light dusting of snow sits on some purple blooms. However, I am not really pleased that this happened in MARCH. December, okay, but March? Hello Mother Nature, let's rethink this one shall we??

Here's to warm, sub-tropic thoughts...mmm...that feel nice.
