Welcome to yet another installment in my weekly series, What Makes Me Happy. I am thinking of my friends in the Northeast. I hope you are able to thaw out from this cold weather. This week, let's see What Makes Linda Happy.
Hi I'm Linda from A La Carte.
Hi I'm Linda from A La Carte.
I'm a big fan of Ron's blog, Uptown Acorn. I lived in New Orleans many years ago and his blog brings back so many great memories. His style and decorating are the best! So I was really happy to be asked to join Ron in his series of What Makes Me Happy.
I have a long list of things that bring JOY to my life. My family, especially my two Grands Tiger & Scout (and yes those are their real names). I share about them often on my blog.
They are just as much fun as this photo suggests!
Almost 2 (Scout) and her big brother almost 6 (Tiger), I am a lucky Grandma!
I love cats and have new little girl Annie Belle.
A very sweet kitty!
I am a collector of many things but love pottery!
Pink pottery, McCoy & Roseville pottery are my current passions.
If someone asked me what is making me happy today, well I would have to tell them about my newest hobby, watercolor painting!
Self taught using YouTube videos and online classes. I am having such a good time. Not thinking of myself as an artist by any means, but as a form of artistic expression it suits me just fine!
If we keep learning new things we keep our minds sharp. Important as we age I tell my 66 year old self!
Thank you Ron for a chance to meet your blog friends! Wishing you all JOY and do something that makes you Happy today!
Linda
What Makes A La Carte Happy, y'all!
What a fun post! I can't believe Scout is almost 2 already! Love the new kitty and collectibles! The water color painting looks like a success and that alone brings happiness! Thanks for another What Makes Me Happy post!
ReplyDeleteGlad to "meet" a new to me blogger. Her grands are adorable!! And for someone who is self taught, very talented in the painting department.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Ron! I'm really enjoying this series--love "meeting" new bloggers! Linda is very talented for someone who has taught herself to paint. Maybe, I'll check this hobby out! Have a great day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteRon please tell Ginger thank you for me. She is a 'no reply' when I tried to email her!
DeleteLove this series Ron. Linda is a sweetie. Love that she found that creative talent of painting within herself. Have a great week. Happy St. Patty's Day tomorrow.

I love this! You have such blessings in your life, Linda!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to get to know Linda a little more. Fabulous family pictures and her paintings. Water colors are so lovely. I keep saying I will learn to paint one day. I suppose I paint, but with my computer and mouse....
