My happy place

I've been meaning to do this post for a while. You know those days when you get really stressed or frazzled? And your mind just automatically goes to your happy place? The place where you have great memories and experiences, and you wish you could teleport yourself there for a few minutes a day? This is my happy place.





It's my Grandpa's house. Nothing but good happens here. It's in the country, it's quiet and peaceful. When I go here I am happy. The leaves on the trees make the most beautiful rustling sound when the wind blows. When I was little, I used to sleepover here, and in the morning you can hear the train go by. We always eat the best food here, and have the best conversations. (Plus, Santa always stops by on Christmas Eve!) We lost Grandma 7 years ago this June, and it hasn't quite been the same, but Grandpa is still going strong, and the house is as warm and inviting as ever. I'm so glad I have grandparents that truly lived up to the word "grandparents". You know, the kind that always have cookies and ice cream available at a moments notice? The ones that always had the good cereal that my parents would never buy? The ones that always came to Grandparents Day in elementary school? Those are those grandparents I have, and I love them.
