2. This, because it's actually so beautiful:
Friend of the family passed away a while ago. She didn’t want a funeral. She left a list of people she loved that she wanted to go out for a nice meal together, on her. So that’s what we did today. Booked a room in a restaurant. We all told so many stories about her.

3. This note:
the day we moved into our new house we found this poem by the previous owner—who’d grown up in the house, bought it from her parents, then raised two kids of her own in it—on our fridge pic.twitter.com/ZcWh0s2uGS

4. This kid who made me laugh out loud:
I told our nine year old every time he does something we don’t like, we’re going to fine him $1, and every time he does something good, like read a full chapter book, he earns $1.
He just handed me a $5 bill and prepaid for future transgressions. A standing tab. Unreal.

5. The model trains that used to be everywhere (does anyone else remember these?!):
When I was growing up my local grocery store had a model train that ran back and forth on top of the freezers in the frozen aisle. My dentist had a train that ran around the ceiling, and so did our town's ice cream shop. I think little ceiling trains are a lost art

7. This, because childhoods are made special by people like this:
I wanted to take a shot at sewing a stuffed doll, so I asked my friends 7 year old what her favorite animal was and she said Hippo. This is what I made for her, and she named her Penelope pic.twitter.com/GxMfIWOu0M

8. This small moment:
Good news! I just let the dog out & she barked. Now she doesn't bark for nothing, so I went to investigate. What should I find but an enormous hedgehog! I havent seen one in our garden for years and I'm so pleased to have them back.

12. This:
my parents are officially moved in across the street. Yesterday afternoon I took their grandson over for an impromptu visit. My mom sat on the floor and played with him while my dad and I chatted in their new living room. One of the happiest moments of my life

13. The fact that pianos are like human magnets — we just have to play 'em!
Someone left a piano in an alley in the neighborhood and almost every single passerby I’ve seen at any time of day has stopped to play it and it’s so silly. It feels like living in a cartoon
