happiness is . . .

a morning sun rising in the east.
all right, truthfully i am waiting for the days to shorten a little so i can sleep a bit longer to enjoy the sight but look at the light under the clouds. yummy.

i had to back up a bit and then check facebook because it seems i forgot to share this little kernel of happiness when it happened . . .  and since it brought so much unfettered glee to my heart, it is worth repeating here on my blog.

girls, we rock!!!! last year after the 9TS's monster grill died, i bought a small, previous season's, weber grill from my friendly ace hardware. color us happy. kidlet became our grill master.  she makes a wicked filet mignon, chicken or flank steak. she's a natural.  


however earlier this summer, the gas flow died to almost nothing. kaput. i don't know anything about gas grills and had no idea who to call so we just didn't grill. i finally  got irked enough to go on YouTube in search of the holy grail of grill fixer uppers.  after three vids that shook my confidence and sent me screaming to the heavens, i hit the mother lode. this good ol' boy  had a 1 minute and 11 second video that seemed to fit the bill. i wrote down the instructions, tried it out and BINGO!!!!! we have fire in the hole!!!!!!!


there is nothing . . . ok, almost nothing . . . like the satisfaction of getting the job done especially when you have not one clue as to what the heck you're doing.  i sat there watching the flames flicker, tickled pink.  yes, i did.
