5 things that made me happy this week

1. Using the rain barrel with the hose to water the garden for the first time - gravity fed, it works perfectly:



2. Conversation at a luncheon in Naples:

Woman 1: "You have no idea until you're 70 how young your 70s really are. Truly... It's incredible!!!"
Woman 2: "How would you know?"
Woman 1: "I'm 72!"

3. Evening walks through the village with a friend

4. Chocolate vegan ice cream (made with coconut milk) + roasted almonds + fresh raspberry sauce

5. Opening ceremonies for the 2012 Olympics in London!!!


***Update: On August 2, 2012 they won 2 Olympic gold medals!!!***
