Happy Thursday, Adelle!
Thanks for the reminder that there are many good reasons to smile. Love the kitten picture at the top!
You did….you DID make me smile. Scrabble….love to win. And on all the other 12….you and me both. I agree [altho for me, it's my grandsons and my grown children]. Now, I’m wishing for a canopied country road in Autumn!!
My list of 13 is posted now. It’s “If you are from Colorado you know….”. It’s HERE But, if you wish to stop by to visit you’ll find the 13 below my newest pencil sketch, scroll down a bit.
Have a super Thursday.
Lots of wonderful smiles. Here’s mine in return.
These are great! and Alexxis is such a cutie!
You always do make me smile. Your daughters are gorgeous and your grandbaby is SO CUTE!!!!
*big hugs* Thanks Adelle!
Wonderful 13 list!
Adkins is actually cheaper since you are no longer buying any bread or sugar products.
Have a great day!
The last one got really got me. But I just can’t seem to let go like those people can. The third one laughing was freaky.
I hope you win at Scrabble. Me too.
I did smile. And the free hugs in Amsterdam made me laugh and tear up at the same time.

I think that kind of scrabble might be too intense for me to smile at.
You definitely made me smile! All of those things make me smile – except maybe the rain. LOL However, I rarely win at Scrabble.
Mission accomplished!
I smile at many of the same things as you. I like the kitten and puppy photo, and your family are all gorgeous. I’d laugh with your grandchild in a heartbeat.
What a neat idea, to share images of what makes you smile! Your grandbaby is adorable, as are your girls!
Great list! All smiles.
Fun List … I think I got teary at the kitten and puppy … I’m a sucker for cute animal pics.
Puppies definitely make me smile!
Great list. Love the “I love you” entry.
Your grandbaby is just beautiful! I love no. 9 and it will be a great reason to smile when I finally beat my mother at scrabble.
The free hugs video had me in tears, it was so beautiful. I loved how many people actually jumped up on the huggers! And that laughing baby could potentially stop attackers in mid-strike better than a can of Mace – just a thought.
Great list, it gave me a smile after a long day of moving my blog to a new server.
