HAPPINESS SATURDAY/SUNDAY

Just the fact that it is Saturday makes me happy. Happiness Sunday.. finishing making my pie crusts 12 of them. Tomorrow.. pie baking. Also another good dinner at Gianni's Trattoria on J St. Yes, the waiter did forget our appetizer the calamari but really we didn't need it. The bread just came out of the oven and it was hot and heavenly. Charlie had the Arugula salad and the Veal Marsala which was really good and I had the Pumpkin Gnocchi. The Gnocchi was good, very light with a light pesto. I don't know what kind of pesto it was.. not Basil. Whatever it was it was good. Everything comes out HOT so that's good, it means things are put together as ordered and they aren't sitting there the whole night. The desert we picked was the gelato sundae.. choice of 2 gelato flavors with chocolate and caramel toppings with berries and whipped cream. I chose the vanilla and the pumpkin gelatos.. I asked them to put the chocolate on the vanilla and the caramel on the pumpkin.. the pumpkin gelato was really good. That's the only part I ate.. I loved that. I love the decor of Gianni's it's ultra modern, sleek, but it's comfortable and so far after being there twice, it's been consistently good.

Happiness- Fri.Sat.Sunday

A weekend in Pt. Reyes with the horses. Yes it rained on Friday, but we were in Pt. Reyes at a B&B with a stable.. we've been coming here for years. AAHHH sheer happiness.. with a bunch of like minded women(who we don't know) who become friends over the weekend because of our love of horses.

THURSDAYS HAPPY MOMENT

Cleaning stalls.. very therapeutic... nothing to think about, talk to the horse while your picking up the horse poop.. they are very good listeners.

HAPPINESS WEDNESDAY

A happy moment is waking up to a beautiful sunny day with birds singing and everything is sparkling clean after a night of rain.

HAPPINESS-TUESDAY

Happiness today was finding The House of Furs and having an old mink shrug turned into collar and cuffs for my jean jacket. Not PC but think of it as recycling.

MONDAY'S HAPPY MOMENT

This is hard... who would think writing down a happy moment in one's day would be so difficult.
I really had to think about this.
My happy moment was waking up snuggled under the comforter with a dog on one side, a cat on my chest, a dog at the foot of the bed and a cat next to me and my husband somewhere on the other side of the bed.
This is a good exercise, it makes you think about the day.
