Happy Hour

Our first official "Happy Hour" kicked off last night. It was a bit cold, but we built a fire, turned on the patio heater, donned sweatshirts and blankets, and had a good time. Had some excellent finger food. It helps when you invite people who like to cook, and tell them to bring an appetizer. Along with food, another person brought homemade beer. It was extremely tasty. My 6 year old said something last night that is still ringing in my head. I may have to get a neon sign made, and this is going to be our requisite for "Happy Hour". She said, "Since this is happy hour, we shouldn't talk about sad things". I'm so proud of her, and her ability to reason this on her own makes me resolve that she's my kid. This was exactly my goal, I just couldn't put it in simpler words. Well done! Here's to my daughter!
