The Boarder: His Promise

Uploaded: January 14, 2011

Description

I knew in my heart, that if Mr. Happy showed up in Yardley, Pennsylvania (at my door), good things would begin to happen And they HAVE! It all began the day before he showed up! I'm SERious! Here is Mr. Happy, up a tree during a snow storm. He looks almost as happy as a boy in a dirt pile! The pond is behind him, as is our house on the hill.

When I first saw your pictures of Mr. Happy this morning I laughed because I have a small reversible Mr. Happy/Mr. Anger on my desk at work. I turn it in whatever direction needed to show the people entering my office what my mood is at that moment. Great image and comments, which is always needed on these dreary winter days. #9162121

You were the perfect hostess, that is going to be a tough act to follow. Hopefully he is off to warmer parts so he can get a few wrinkles worked out. #9163663

Outstanding and very fung capture Michelle!! It's nice to see some cheer in Winter! #9165560

Melissa Olsen January 16, 2011

Well, it appears that while Mr. Happy was in your neck of the woods it was profitable for him, unlike when he was in CO...all the round little one wanted to do was ski. Those lift tickets don't come cheap...I am sure that he will reap tons of money in the near future with the help of a good advisor. LOL
Great job Michelle! #9165924
