It's a great day to be alive!

I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

Spring is here and so were my parents! Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure:

Love Cash's wide-eyed look.
Such a loving family. I know Susan had a great time cuz she glows when she returns.
Your photo of the cookies made my mouth water. If you lived closer I'd drop by for a bite. Do you make good coffee too???
