Happiness is: Praying, Blogging, Walking, Talking, Singing, Dancing, Drawing.
Happiness is Beautiful...
Happiness is sisters going home.
Sisters being home.
Feathers.
Snow on the mountains.
Clean laundry.
Happiness is getting the damn doctor appointment over with. He told me I was a health risk. Do you think? He said I was behind in my maintenance care. Do you think? He said I was getting older. Do you think? Duh!
So here is the six month "get sorted" goal/plan: I solemnly promise to get a --
Colonoscopy (like you needed to know that)
Physical
Complete blood workup: A1C hemoglobin?
Microalbumin?
Renal Panel?
Dexascan (bones, I think)
Eye exam (diabetes)
Mammogram
Foot exam (diabetes)
Happiness is a plan.
Happiness is a fantastic new recipe from a fantastic daughter-in-law: Only Stephanie would find and make this recipe. It is from cooking light and worth the work. She sent me home, after my playdate with Connor, with a kiss, book, chicken, cheese, Tupperware, recipe, and an admonishment to quit smoking.
Happiness is a daughter-in-law.

1 C sliced (1/4 inch thick) parsnip
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 C fat free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp rubbed sage, what is rubbed sage?
