Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real

It’s time for Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real, a Thursday happening over at Like Mother, Like Daughter’s excellent blog. It’s about capturing the contentment in everyday life, a concept I wholeheartedly embrace.

Pretty — A dear friend gave this tote to me a few years ago. It usually holds my current study materials when I am teaching Bible classes. Gotta get crackin’ — the new quarter begins in less than a week!




Happy — My niece, Clancy, drew/wrote/created this for me while they were visiting last weekend for Thanksgiving. She is seven. I love the arrows, which are apparently her way of directing me to drop my eyes lower to get her completed name. She has inadvertently done me a service — as much as I love her, I have a terrible time remembering whether or not her name contains an “e.” I shall post this on the fridge and have it in front of me until the truth sinks in.



Funny — Speaking of fridges, these Shakespeare quote magnets have earned a place on ours. I usually don’t like a crowded fridge surface, but these remain, a gift from our daughter when she visited the British Isles a few years ago. I wonder what that says about us? Hmmm…

Real — Sigh. Yesterday I broke my very favorite mug, and it was all my fault. I balanced it on the corner of the bathroom sink, and it slid into the sink, and… Sigh. Ah, well, now it will become curved pieces to turn upside down over the drainage holes of planters or pots.
