August Happiness Challenge: Day 20

Rizz liked the whipped cream, too

On Day 20, I'm happy for sprinkles.  On Sunday I walked over to the other side of town, to the local hardware store. (The internet tells me I need a mallet.) It was nice to window shop up and down the main drag, with the Cubs-Blue Jays game in my headphones. Since many of those small businesses are independently owned and close early on Sunday, I'm grateful I wasn't tempted to shop.

On the way home I stopped at the old-school ice cream parlor and ordered a root beer float. I haven't had one in forever. This one was deluxe -- whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top. (It was also $6.00 plus tax. Adjusted for inflation, were they always this expensive?)

If you want to play along, just come back here (meaning to this blog, not this individual post) each day in August, looking for the Happy Cub. Every day I will try to have a post with the headline: August Happiness Challenge: Day [X]. Leave a comment and then post your own daily happiness, with AuSaturgust Happiness Challenge in the title to make it easy to find.
