Two weeks ago we were enjoying the sights of Lake Pleasant in Arizona. Going to this lake is a fun time as it’s close to our home and seeing water in the desert always makes one happy.
Then because Southwest Airlines can get us to our LakeHouse in Pennsylvania in no time… we then experienced this!
Yep… SNOW! We loved it because 1. We did not have to drive in it and 2. It all melted the next day.
Thanksgiving has passed and as I type… I consider all that I am thankful for. Family, friends, good health, and sweet personal love. I personally stopped in my tracks today to feel the “present moment”……. an what an awesome feeling it was/is! My heart was full and that feeling of contentment was REAL!! I won’t give you all the personal details but it all comes down to Simple Pleasures!
Sweet Man built these shelves to store our collections…
Simple Pleasures
…making a cozy fire in your childhood home…
…watching the quail march on your backyard wall…
…watching both your sons smile…
…having sweet man’s 10 point buck keep a watchful eye in our living room at the LakeHouse…
…laughter from our friends and family, in our homes…
…the buzzing of sweet man’s saw…
…chicken soup for The Appetizer…
…a sunset in your backyard…
Simple Pleasures are far better then “materialistic things!”
Waking up feeling content… just press the pause button…
Life is good…
Until Next Time ~Nancy
Yes SIMPLE PLEASURES and enjoying life. We take so much for granted.
Amen!!!
Gotta love Southwest Air! But I’d rather see a warm sight than snow 😉
We all like that first snow but then… we enjoy that sunshine and the warmth that it provides!
Beautiful photos, fun memories.
Thank you Tim. So glad you could stop by.
Memories are what make us enjoy life a wee bit more!
😊
I love Lake Pleasant. And how fun to have both of those worlds so easily accessible.
Mary… so glad to see you stop by. I have coffee on…
It is wonderful to be able to enjoy both our homes. Each one gives us joy in its separate ways. Family is close out here in Pa. which makes it special at Holiday time or any time.
I have really enjoyed your stunning captures of the wild horses. They must love you!
Nice that you can dash in to enjoy the snow and then escape back to the warmth:)
We are truly blessed! And with the Southwest Airlines Click and Save fares… they make it that much easier!
Simple pleasures indeed! I love your upbeat and positive attitude. Give me a jingle when you’re back in the valley of the sun.
I shall jingle the Christmas Bells when we return to warmth! Although it’s going to be 60 in a few days here in NW Pennsylvania ?!?!
Life is good, and so is this post and the photos. 🙂
Thank you my friend!
Yes, life is good! Love this reminder to enjoy the simple pleasures. Every day is a gift.
Amen! You said it so perfectly!
This is a delightful post Nancy. I enjoyed the contrast and for just a moment I was nostalgic for the east coast snow-cover. That was just a moment. A photo/essay that you, Sweet Man, your family, friends, and readers will appreciate for many years coming. Thank you.
I am glad you enjoyed the post. It came from my heart and we all need to be reminded that Life is Short! We need to enjoy the special moments!
Even the snow… just for a moment! 😉
Thanks for stopping by!
Very well said!
Thank you my friend!
So much to be thankful for. Your snow looks like real winter but glad to hear the quick melt meant safe travels.
Could you believe your comment landed in my Spam folder???
THANK YOU for waiting so patiently for your reply!
It was a quick melt and I am glad to say I am about to leave this cold area for the warmer weather… AZ!!
I’ve been known to wander off to spam folders. Always looking for adventure. 🙂
🤣🤣🤣
Lucky you, Nancy! Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos.
Lucky I am indeed!!
Thanks for stopping by!
I’m not sure how I missed this earlier post! Thanks for the link and the opportunity to be reminded of many Simple Pleasures.
Thank you! And yes… it’s the little things that bring us joy! 😊
