assembled and worked appropropiately before

Why it happened - Memorial Day

Why it happened - birthday time
Why it makes me happy - been on the outside...never been inside...interesting place

HappyUP!!! - cordial words
Why it happened - it was planned...apparently...not by me
Why it makes me happy -OK....this is a start......uhhhhh.......not something worth being like a 5th grader bragging, "look at me...look at me...look at me....see what I did?"......which kind of demeaned the effort when I found out about that later......intentions questionable...VERY questionable.....but I will still take it as a HappyUP!!! and look at that as if the person wants me to come along and be part of any further discussion that he has with someone in my life. We'll just be a big HappyUP!!!! family!
