Big Mouth Bass

Catching a whopper = happiness!

We haven't fished as much as we would have liked to this summer, but we did make it out last weekend and caught a whopper. Well... to be more specific Mr. Happy caught this whopper... a big mouth bass! I hooked one, reeled it in, and then didn't grab him fast enough which allowed him to jump off back into the water --sigh, next time!

The pair of them would have made for some "good eat-en!"

Bunny

It's a very bunny day!

Can you see little bunny foo foo in this picture? Saw this guy/gal after a fishing adventure last weekend. Pretty darn exciting to get of a few pictures before all I saw was a little white tail hopping into the brush.

Get a little nature in your day!

Pickles

I am a big fan of marketing (ask Mr. Happy)... I get sucked into a commercial whether it be a billboard, radio, tv... or branded car. When I saw this rocket pickle I couldn't help but giggle.

Almost doesn't matter if a deep fried pickle would taste good, right? Eating a deep fried pickle apparently gives you rocket power!!

Drive In

Going to see a flick or two at the drive in = happiness!

As soon as the nights in NY get warm enough I am begging the movies coming out to be good so that I can go see them at the local drive in! It's a great date night for Mr. Happy and I... we can sit back, hold hands, eat popcorn, pretzels, and candy and have a relaxing night! Oh, and we bring Katie! Yup, she has been to the drive in either 3 or 4 times :)

Peanut Butter Pie

Frozen Peanut Butter pie = happiness!

For my birthday this past week I was treated to a very special sweet treat from my mother in law! Yup, you guessed it, homemade peanut butter pie! I have a certain weakness that hits me in the knees for this tasty frozen treat. So rich, so chock full of peanut buttery goodness, and that crumbly oreo crust -YUM!

It goes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or is magical on it's own. You can eat it off a plate or from a bowl; with a fork or a spoon. Make sure once it's completely frozen that you do let it sit out at room temperature for a bit to enhance the flavors and then dig in!

Thank you for the fabulous surprise and for making me feel spoiled rotten! (oh, and for letting me take the left overs home with me!!)

Cotton Candy

When I see a cotton candy machine my heart skips a beat and I can almost immediately taste the sugar melting in my mouth. The sweet smell and little wisps of happy just waiting to be devoured!

Getting to see cotton candy made and have that cotton candy smell fill your nose = happiness!

Aren't the colors here so pretty and delicate?

BBQ

Earlier I showed you BBQ related stuff... here's the real deal! Nothing makes this Southern gal happier than a mean saucy pulled pork sandwich and handfull of melt in your mouth ribs!

Eating BBQ = happiness!

Happy Spot Hump Day: RibFest

Today's Happy Spot is any place that has BBQ. In particular, I am thinking about my recent visit to RibFest!

Just look at the size of that grill!

Good Night Sweetie!

Ending the day on a sweet note = happiness!

Have a great night!

Happy House

Seeing a happy house = happiness!

How cute is this? Tell me didn't smile after seeing it... you can't, right?
