"Makes Me Smile" Monday

I'd been struggling all last week to come up with something for today's post . . . the craziness and stress of the past week or two has created more headaches than smiles !! But, a trip to Michael's and the release of the new Harry Potter book over the weekend helped ease things a bit. . . .
. . . nothing like a new knitting project with pretty new yarn (those colors remind me of the lake !), and a good new read (still reading . . . no spoilers, please !) to calm what ails !!

I also read this sweet story while perusing the web, and it definitely brought a smile !! Happy Monday !!!
