What makes us happy

My new bathroom: My friend Tara knows how much I hate my bathroom in our rental house. We have years of wallpaper covered by years of paint. I had a shower curtain that was okay and was actually a hand-me-down that I just put up when we moved in. I had intended to replace it but never got around to it. Tara painted her bathroom and her shower curtain no longer matched. She brought me her old one last week and told me to use it. I said sure! Never turn down anything free! I went to Fred's tonight to complete the look with a new rug, shower rod, and shower curtain hooks. I love it and it makes me happy. Also the stripes distract from the horrible walls! woohoo! We will be so glad when we are out of this house and this tiny tiny bathroom. Thanks Tara!
This picture: This picture used to hang in the bathroom at my grandmother's house. It was in an old wooden frame. When I changed the shower curtain tonight, I decided to dig a nicer frame out of the closet to replace the old wooden frame. Now I still have the picture that I love but in a new updated form. Thanks Gramma!!


Baby birds: Stephen has been watching this nest of baby birds that have been living under our dinning room window. This morning we thought we saw the last one learn to fly and finally leave the nest. But, Stephen found it hopping around the yard tonight still not really sure about the whole flying thing. Maybe he will get the hang of it soon.
