What's on my Happy List Today?

Our post camp get-together- The Queenly Mamas met today for lunch to talk and reminisce about our Stake camp last week. It was really all in an excuse for Karen (our awesome cook while we were there) to feed us one more time. I wrote up a Happy List of our time together in the land of CAMP-A-LOT and gave them each a copy along with a new pair of knee high nylons as our official camp memento. Without the camp pictures, that I still haven't gotten yet, I don't have visual aid to explain THAT.... so I'm not even going to try, but I must say I will never look at another pair of nylons quite the same ever again! I'm posting my Happy List of Rough Camp more for personal journaling purposes than anything. As clearly anyone, other than my committee, would not understand the humor I find in all of it.


Here is a picture of my awesome camp committee "the official ladies in waiting at the royal court", right after we broke camp last week and were on our way home.... and in desperate need of a shower!

Birthday Wishes-On behalf of the Salt Lake City Diva's, I wished IL DIVO's Urs Buhler, from Switzerland, a Happy Birthday today on IL DIVO's official website. I was really wanting, in honor of his birthday, to have one of these delicious Swiss Milk Chocolate, with honey and almond, candy bars but the two stores I was in tonight didn't carry them. WHAT!!?!?!?! So my attempts to celebrate didn't go quite as planned but the thought of doing so and the excuses I make to celebrate anything and everything made my happy list.
