things that make me smile

Win number two in three years is now etched in silver. While the first time will always be the best, looking at these names is special because not only is the current team there, but three members of the LA Kings I learned to love hockey by watching in the late '80s / early '90s -- Luuuuuc, Blakey and part of the All-American line from our first Cup run, current scout Mike Donnelly.

I've lived in my house almost six years and for the first time in those six years, the vine on my patio trellis has bloomed with these GORGEOUS red and purple flowers. Love!
