Things that make me happy....

Living in Africa gives a whole new light to the things that bring a smile to ones face...
it's the little things that bring so much happiness...and here are the things that have made me smile lately!!


Our gazebo is finished!!
My incredible husband and precious children
Easton eating Pringles and clinging to my side
The tree in our yard that smells incredible and reminds me of Hawaii
Bagels and Cream Cheese that I found in Lilongwe, Malawi

Hamburger and Hot Dog buns

Frozen food...fish fingers, shrimp, and homestyle fried chickenBoneless chicken breastsToll House Chocolate Chips and the cookies that they make

Last but not least...the time to really cook from scratch...Homemade pork bbq (braised the meat, pulled it and all!!), the sauce, and the french fries! Oh the peach cobbler is not in the pic but that was dessert and by golly it was GOOD and tasted like what we eat in the States!!! God is good and has a great sense of humor!!
