One of my a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y. favorite things — is decorating the Christmas Tree.  Oh, it’s the best!  It’s wonderful!  It’s fun!  I love LOVE L.O.V.E looking at all the ornaments and telling the stories about where they came from, and why, and who, and ahhh….it’s just perfect! <3

We are waiting this year – until Erin comes home from Dublin – to decorate the tree.  So the boxes are still in the basement, waiting, waiting, waiting.  And I’m upstairs, in the house, waiting, waiting….waiting!  Then all of a sudden, in a kitchen cabinet, I find this adorable blue box.

Have you ever received something WONDERFUL….but then forgotten?

This happened to me, today.  Just when I needed it.

I opened that adorable little box, and inside was a gift that Erin and Peter bought for me when they were in Holland in April during Erin’s Spring Break.  Sooo much has happened this year.  It’s HARD to even remember sometimes that last April, Erin was still in High School, and on a Spring Break trip with her Dad.  But they were.  And somewhere along their journey they found a precious little something….that made my day today.

LOVE!  and Holland!  #100happydays (34/100)

Ciao for now…..Diane
