Photo Blogging Challenge: Happy

I'm linking up with A 'lil Hoohaa for September's Photo Blogging Challenge.  The theme for September was "happy," and I just knew this would be an easy theme for me! 
I spent lots of time with my granddaughters this month.  We went to fun places like Disneyland:

and the zoo:

On our way home from the zoo, we stopped at the hospital:


Their mommy had a baby boy--now the girls have a little brother!

Welcome, baby!

    YOU GOT ME! I was thrilled to see Disneyland and all of you having so much fun. I was brought right back to my own childhood. We lived in San Diego for a few years and I remember loving our trips to Disney. Then came the "casually stopping by the hospital" because MOM HAD A BABY! Woo hooooo!!!!!! How WONDERFUL!!! Congratulations!

    I can tell you're happy almost all the time, but you must feel like you're bursting with happiness this month. That little grandson is so cute! And his big sisters, too. Luck you.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos.

I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
