Default Happiness is........
When friends return to TV. A special lady Renie, aka Brightspot. is returning to The Villages for Christmas break from school. She is in her last year of teaching Elementary school in Michigan before she retires for good this summer. It will a loss for the children and a gain for us!

A big welcome to a wonderful lady and a Merry, Merry Christmas!!! We can't wait until you are here for good!

Hugs. GG

Happiness is...
  • Having good friends like Gracie.
  • Developing lasting and close-knit friendships with some people I've met through TOTV.
  • Christmas vacation.
  • Returning to TV over Christmas break, if only for 10 days.
  • Being blessed with the nicest group of 28 children to have in my classroom my last year of teaching.
  • Not being economically devasted.
  • Having a loving and very close family.
  • Feeling comfortable in my skin.
  • Being healthy.
  • Not having my post deleted for no reason.

It wasn't me and Sweetie. We are up here with the ice and snow and the grandchildren.

Soon to return. Keep a space open on that putting green!

And Conn? I will soon be meeting you in person I am sure. I can't wait!

Happiness is rescuing a horse from a kill pen and seeing him safe, warm, fed, and loved for the rest of his life!

Happiness is....

Walking outside my house this morning, in the beautiful warm sunshine and seeing the new ducks in the pond and knowing that its snowing in Los Angeles....

Sorry Donna and Nonie, don't be mad at me.

Happiness is...the privilege to know people like Donna and Nonie, who care about animals and do all they can to help them!

Even more happiness will be when I finally get the chance to meet all of you.
