Little Things in Life

Why is it that the little things in life always bring you the greatest joy?  Today's example... These:


My good friend Audrey was showing me these little animals that her sister had made.  Instantly they reminded me of my Grandma Roundy.  She was the craftiest lady that I have ever had the honor to have known.  My cousins and sisters and I all had the chance to have her live with us for a while when we were growing up. She was always whipping up little gems such as these, and sharing her wealth with her grandkids.  One year she made a whole set of Christmas tree ornaments out of this very type of crocheted animals.  I was waxing so nostolgic looking at these little animals that I'm pretty sure a real tear came to my eye. 
My friend's little sister surprised me by making an animal for each of my girls.  Vivian, you're the best!  These will hold a very special place in my heart forever.
