Happiness is...the taste of Kent

Happiness is...the taste of Kent
More taste, fine tobacco
That's what happiness is!

Ah, those were innocent times!

Hi dlaf,

Couldn't resist to respond. I found two interesting (scary?) coincidences in your remark. First thing that caught my eye is the fact that I am Dutch, and I have a favourite flower for every season! Didn't know it's that typical...

The second thing was my association with the topic at hand. First time I read the assignment, it immediately reminded me of a British cigar commercial: "Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet" - and I'm not even a smoker!

Innocent times indeed. Thanks for bringing them back to memory.

Being so much blessed with a wife and a son, I couldn’t help but wonder how great God is. He has showered upon us the greatest gift a couple has ever wanted to have. After all the pressures of rushing them to the hospital; the exhausting feeling I have had while my wife was delivering the baby and bringing all those stuffs they needed, I nearly catch a breathe thinking how is it to be called a father. So far, I’ll just let things be as what God has planned for me and my family. I’d simply enjoy this very moment watching my son grow and discover his environment little by little.

What beautiful pictures; and what a beautiful post. congratulations!
