...makes me smile

Hello friends!  It's been awhile since I've done my Monday "makes me smile".  I'm going to try to get back into this weekly feature.  I think it's good for my soul to list what I'm thankful for each week.

Happy Monday!  We (sans Papabear) just returned from a short little trip to Iowa to help my sister and brother-in-law move (there was no actual moving-in involved due to a late moving truck) into their new apartment!   No links this week, I didn't have much access to the internet while we were gone.  Here's what made me smile this week:
