SUNDAY STILLS CHALLENGE - HAPPINESS IS...

I hope you are not in a hurry...this is like a biography of my life (that is out of sequence because I left out some photos). Hope you survive the trip! Just happen to love a lot of things!

Living on our farm.

appreciating the opportunities Steph, Ariana and Daniela have had going to Croatia and learning about another culture (as well as being able to speak another language).

...living near the historical Erie Canal...

I forgot to include my horse Berlin...could not leave her out.

This is where it was supposed to start.

I had a Huckleberry Finn childhood....grew up on Chautauqua Lake and skied my brains out!

When I wasn't doing that I would ride my friend's pony...her name was Lady. Notice the fringed jacket. I was all cowboy.

Of course I can't leave out my horses present and past....This is Masterpiece of '79.

Babe's Opal at Jenny's wedding.

Finn, Jenny and Coop at a water park.... Nothing is more important than family....

I love flowers for all the beauty they bring to a room or a garden.

and then there is Phoebe....

I love the way Joe has inspired his girls to love sports. It all started in New York when they got to know some of the New York Rangers. Hockey, Baseball, Football...Hooray for the home team.

Here they are at a baseball game now. Daniela and Steph.

Who wouldn't love a vacation at the beach. Coop, Jen and Finn.

Ariana and Abbe...looks like happiness to me.

Eggs from free range chickens who have a life. There is no comparison.

Water and sailing.

I love the fact that Jen and Steph had a chance to spend some time with my cousin John.

You already know how I feel about a cozy fire.

...and how I love to rescue pups like Mademoiselle Gucci (Poochie) 'Lisebet Skoog.

Teaching art at the farm for over 8 1/2 years is very high on my list.

Sunrises and sunsets...I must have photographed thousands of them.

I love light and the way it comes into our house.

There is something very special about being in the barn every day.

Singing is so good for the soul. I love being part of a chorus.

I REALLY loved the day we went out to the Bott's for swimming, boat riding and a picnic. Steph, Jen, Ariana, Daniela, Finn and Coop...all in the same place at the same time. The Dads really missed out.

Can't get enough of playing Sequence.

Putting hay in the barn....

Meeting people from all over the world...Like Della and the Kenny's, who traveled thousands of miles crossing the United States and spent the night with us at our farm.

Below is my girl Abbe.

I have no regrets about building the indoor....my midlife crisis project. Love it.

I love knowing that all our grandkids like spending time at the farm.



And that our son-in-law Kevin is happy to attend parties that we go to with our friends...so what if we are old!

Gary can grow garlic to his heart's content....

There is nothing like being a grandparent!
