"When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door that we
do not see the one which has been opened for us"

A new mat for the front door
A double rainbow in the midst of last night's storm
My yard bursting into bloom
My boys are coming for the weekend
My daughter coming home in 11 days!
We are taking her to Sleeping Bear Dunes, one of my favorite places on earth
A new recipe I wish I could take credit for...go visit Ann @ Thibeault's Table for the recipe-so good!
The fact that my parents have had 63 wonderful years of marriage
How blessed I am with friendships, both in real life and in my blog world

Indeed you've got a lot to be grateful for: the people in your life: parents, hubby, daughter, grandchildren,friends - nature outside - good food - beautiful items.
Enjoy it all!
What a lovely post Sue! Your daughter is gorgeous, the little boys are so cute and the flowers are amazing! The picture of your parents is just so touching as well.
This was a happy post!
Oh, and I so want to go to sleeping dunes, we almost made it there on our last trip to Michigan but then we headed up along the UP instead.

Lots of reasons to be happy. And, oh my! Your daughter is beautiful.
Hi Sue... What a lovely post today!
Your list made me smile too!
I got a very similar one for my daughter, Amanda...who LOVES flip flops!
Your grandsons are so adorable... Hugs from the wee ones are so, so tender.
Your daughter is beautiful! I can see those genes run in the family :)
Look at your parents... 63 years ~ we should be so blessed ♥
Your flowers and the rainbow must have just frosted the day and added sprinkles too!
So glad for your joyful day, Sue!
May the rest of the week bring even more smiles~ Maria

I've never heard of Sleeping Bear Dunes, so I had to google and learn more. What a wonderful place to visit, have a great time (as if there were any doubt). Looking forward to the pics.
G'morning, Sue, just came by to see how your mom is doing.
I love this post...your priorities are surely in the right place. You are blessed and....you know it !!
