Every year around this time my father sends us a huge box of oranges and every time I get one, it's a surprise. I guess life fills my head with lots of other nonsensical details and I forget about the oranges. The thing here is, I don't have a window in my kitchen and while I wish it was bright and cheery in there, it's not.
But when my dad sends me oranges, and I fill bright gold Pyrex bowls with them... I don't know...
It brightens my kitchen like the sun was streaming in...
And knowing it came from my dad brightens my life. There are a million, million big reasons why I love my dad but it's the little kind things that make me realize what a wonderful man he is.

It's the little things in life.....
Sunshine in a bowl, what a great display.
Those are such great bowls, and with the oranges in them, it's just like Debbie said: sunshine in a bowl! I've developed a great appreciation for Pyrex lately, and now I want more!
Happy VTT!

Beautiful post! Brings it home that life is all about giving gifts of love! Happy VTT
A great example of how a simple thing can mean so much - it's not always the grand expensive packages that matter the most . . .
