Hanging around Houston
There was a couple of people who found ""Happy" in the Houston Chronicle under my Houaton Chronicile "How Far Will Happy Go? blogs.
Wait till you read about their "happy" days! It was great.
Sorry, this is one of those headlines you read about some tragedy that you see on TV or the media. This is news that will make you smile and laugh. So "Happy" here's how "happy" made it a little farther today. I wonder who else was being with "Happy"? I don't know unless you write and tell me or if you find "Happy" somewhere. So here's a copy of that blog:
I'm sorry, I didn't hear about that

Well, I havent heard any good news from anyone is a while. I don't understand why. Did I miss it? Was I too busy that day to stop and listen to your good news? If so, I'm so sorry. I really want to hear about your good news. I promise that I'll listen and enjoy it. I would much rather read about your good news or happy times than the junk that is on TV or the media. I NEED a dose of good news.

Hi, Mobea: I got your "bumper sticker" over at myspace, but couldn't figure out how to put it on my home page. I guess by now you've figured out I'm not doing much with my "myspace" space. LOL!
Husband and I had our first "kid free" night Saturday. So, we spent our quality time together hanging siding on the house. Uh....... LOL! But, we also stayed up and watched a lot of recorded Crossing Jordan and a little of Silence of the Lambs. Not very positive movies, I know, but the fact we actually got to watch some "grown up" TV is good news, in and of itself! We could have planned a date, but we were already so involved in our home improvement projects. At least we got some uninterrupted time to work on them a bit more. The kids benefitted from their slumber parties, too. So far, they haven't had time for the summertime "I'm bored" attitude to set in!
I also had a chance to do some shoe shopping for myself on Saturday. My foot is really hard to fit. I have to have a wide width, and I've found they aren't always easy to find. I've been compromising a bit too much on the shoes that I wear. I bought some Naturalizers and SAS shoes Saturday. I've been wearing the more casual Naturalizers, and I tell you, the difference in my overall energy level and feeling of well being is amazing! I really had no idea that my energy was being so sapped by the shoes I've been wearing!
Honestly, I think my foot is somewhere between a wide and a WW! WW would be too much, though, and the wide will work. I can't believe I've been squeezing my foot into a regular width all this time!
So, that's my good news! I found some decent shoes! LOL! Trust me, that really is good news! My body is thanking me for it!

Just about the time that I find a pair of shoes that I swear I could just wear them until I die, I find out that their bad for my feet. Flip flops. I could live in them. I have wide feet too. I didn't know that they even sold WW shoes. I walk into a department store and ask for a size 8-1/2 W and they look at me like I'm bigfoot!
Ahhh, a quiet relaxing time at home with hubby. Just the two of you. Kind of reminds you of why you married each other. And it gives you grown up time with each other. When my kids were little I use to have a neighbor that once a month we would trade kids once a month. It was great! It helped them and it helped us. It was fun having a whole houseful of kids and then when it was our time, it was great when it was our time. I'm glad that you had a wondeful time. See, that's the kind of news that never makes it the front page, but boy, does it make you happy when you get to hear about good times. Thanks for sharing. I let you know more about "Happy" in a couple of weeks about what to do with it. I'm stil working on the details. But its pretty cool.

Hi all. My wife and I had a wonderful time last Saturday. We got to goof off and went out and bought a whole bunch of leftover bread and went out to the park next to Armand Bayou Nature Center (can't recall the name of the park) where we fed the geese and ducks bread. Since we got there late (around noon) they were really not that hungry and were just picking at the food.
So we jumped into the car and went to the Texas City Dike and hit the beach out there around the 3 1/2 mile marker. We gave some of the kids loaves of bread and watched them feed the seagulls. We then got Gwen's walker out (the fancy kind with a seat and four wheels) and went walking along the water. Gwen was sitting there on the seat just dabbling her feet in the water with a few waves coming up and washing over our feet. Just checking out the hermit crabs and the different shells they were using for homes and enjoying the company.
All of the sudden, this huge wave comes surging up the beach and went clear up to the picnic tables up by the road...... lol. It was water that was pushed up by a tanker travelling out to the Gulf. Gwen got her denim dress soaked up to her knees and I got my jeans soaked up to mid calf. Shock turned to surprise turned to laughter as the huge wave receded down the beach. We had parked the Crown Vic on the beach and luckily the water only swirled around the wheels. People were scrambling to back their cars up and keep them from getting swamped.
We finally extricated Gwen's walker from the sand as it had sunk down by the wave action and plodded back to the car. After backing the car up to make sure it wouldn't get stuck, we loaded ourselves back up and cruised over to where the wind surfers were having a blast riding the wind and waves.
On the way home we stopped and had the car washed and detailed to keep the salt and sand from attacking the integrity of the finish. Overall, a very nice and happy day for both of us. One that I really enjoy and will treasure in my memory.
Just thought I would share.

Tim, that sounds like such a wonderful afternoon. Seeing as I live in Texas City, I have been to the dike and "been there done that" But we were in a 4X4 truck that the water actually came all the way up in the truck. Hopefully they are going to pave the road again this year again. Next year, they are talking about charging to get onto the dike. But I love going there. I only live 9 blocks from the dike so I guess that it's one of the things that I take advantage of a lot. I've spent many mornings getting up early, just to watch the sunrise there. It's breath taking. I just want to stand up and applaud God. Yep, you guys had a "Kodak" moment in life. "Happy" was there with you!
