Hoosier Smile from Today?

Today I'm sharing a smile from a long-time friend, who recently vacationed in Shipshewana, Indiana. DG and I go back over 40 years, from days in nursing school, to working together, to having both retired and relocated yet staying connected online. DG is very skilled in basket weaving, gardening, canning, and textile arts, which was what brought her to connect with friends who share those interests at a gathering in Indiana. She tells me she had to use actual lipstick to draw her smile on the napkin!

Thanks, DG, for sharing this smile with all of us!

The Return of the Buckeye Smile

When this blog first began, TK was instrumental in getting the ball rolling by sharing any number of smiles with me. If you look back through the archives, you will see how cleverly she puts words into her smiles. Her last Buckeye smile submission was in October, 2012.

So here we are, three years later, and she is the first one to send another smile my way. She is on her way to Columbus, Ohio, for the Ohio State Buckeye football game and just wanted to say:

TK, you never fail to have the most charming smiles, not only for this blog, but also for everyone who is lucky enough to know you.Thank you!

The Return of the Smiles

I can't believe it's been two years since I really did anything with this Smile blog! My only excuse? I've been busy. I've decided to start again because it strikes me that, these days, we all could use more smiles in our lives. I encourage you to take your own smile pictures and share them...if not with me then at least with your friends and family. If you share them with me, I'll post them (no names) for the pleasure of those who intentionally read this blog as well as those who land here by accident!

This morning, back at the original Cracker Barrel where this all began, my grand daughter decided to share not only a smile, but a "What's Up Doc?" face. Here they are:

LS Smile

LS "What's Up, Doc?"

So I have to say a big Thanks to LS, for starting this rainy gray NC day off in such a sunny manner. Thanks to her, the rest of the day was bright and fun for all of us!
