"Reasons to be Cheerful, part 3."

I thought it might be a nice idea to think of things that make us smile, we look forward to or just give us good vibes if you understand. Not necessary to put a picture. 

Hi Glade

lovely idea 

now I’m a guy that has never cooked a proper meal, really spoiled in all my 58 years. This is what has makes me smile, gives me some hours of distraction and a sense of achievement...........

Making a chicken pie, fluffy roast potatoes, veggies and gravy for my gorgeous partner and daughter and sitting down together for a joyous banter filled evening meal followed by a really competitive board game with lots of fun screaming and shouting. Oh yes mint choc chip ice cream for desert.
to me that is priceless and I smile ear to ear remembering those evenings.

take care

My reasons to be cheerful, born 8 September to my daughter.

As you say MrT1 you can't put a price on those evenings. Being a northern lass I fully go along with the chicken pie and gravy.

Thank you for sharing. 

Oh my, Lesley 63, I fully understand that joy. Coincidentally a very good friend of mine named Lesley also became a grandmother mid September. 

Thanks for the photos. 

Totally agree with the complete joy a grandchild brings. Enjoy every minute Leslry63. 
And as another northern lass I am also on board with the chicken pie & gravy!! 

Oh my gosh - they have brought a tear to my eye - how cute and gorgeous are they. Took me back to seeing my boys for the first time.

you must be so proud , are you Granny, Grandma ............

enjoy those beautiful bundles

It has just taken me three hours to log in. It's not the thread I wanted to be on but perhaps it will transfer.......Beautiful babies....I'm very jealous....Three sons but all prefer to stay single enjoying life as surfers, snowboarders and runner!

I hope that you find the thread that you seek Lacomtekp.

In the meantime it's lovely to hear about your 3 active sons. I expect that you're very proud of them. 

I'm nanny. There is no love as great as being a grandparent.  Much different from the love you feel for your own children.  No one understands this until they become a grandparent.
