Great little things

Taking off your socks at the end of the day.
A cold drink after mowing the lawn.
Opening the fridge in the wee, wee hours and finding one more beer.

The first two I learned from my dad. The third I discovered on my own.

A hug from my grandkids

He taught you a couple good pick-me-ups and hopefully he also taught you about the sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe.

Great idea for a thread, Brad.

I think we all need reminders of little things to appreciate.

One from last night:
A fire to warm the bones and cheer the spirits, along with a good movie as the evening chill starts at the end of the day.

Watching our two pups gleefully chasing each other around the back yard totally oblivious to the world crashing around them. Puts a smile on my face if only for a few moments the world is a better place.

The latest model of a granddaughter.

That skit, and the one where everyone but Archie knows dinner is horse meat, have always stuck with me.

Sticking your cold feet into a pair of nice fuzzy slippers. Ahhhhh!!!

Along those line, taking off ski boots at the end of a blue-bird powder day is one of the three best fellings EVER!
(I will let you guess what the other two are )

Making poached eggs and toast for my grandson, every time we are together in the morning! That’s every day we are at the cottage and once a month when he spends the night. Been doing it since he was maybe six he will turn 15 this coming June. It’s good to be a grandfather.

Walking into the kitchen and smelling the pot of soup that's been simmering all afternoon.

It's great if it's time to eat, but otherwise it's just torment!

Getting my first seed & plant catalog of the new year ( come-on spring )
The day pitchers and catchers report.
The smell of a leather baseball glove.
That crispy fatty little morsel left on my BBQ grate.

Great little things? Having my heart warmed by reading the post of grandfathers.

Yeah unless they're heartbroken grandfathers who's kid keeps their grandchild away from them

How awful. Is that happening to someone here?

If this is your situation LM you have my deepest sympathy. Thankfully I have 5 grandkids that I have absolute great relations with. And even with all that is going on I am able to spend time with them.

With me, it's kicking off my steel toed boots at the end of the work day!
ESPECIALLY in the summer!

Finding enough morel mushrooms in the spring to dehydrate a jar full.

I hope you give Pammi advance notice...

Yes, yours truly. Not sure what to do with her. I do everything I can to not rock the boat but she's tearing me up inside and the boyfriend is an a$$hole of the biggest kind plus mistreats the little guy
