Happiness for Sale in Healdsburg

happysign.jpgEvery time I get back from wine country I feel incredibly relaxed, rejuvenated, inspired and, well, happy. Not surprising given my affinity for the good stuff and the people and places behind it, but I DID find it a little odd to see it spelled out in broad daylight on this last trip.

That the spelling of "happieness" recalls hippies is all-too-perfect for this laid-back spot. (For the record, I've chosen to ignore the darker implications behind "buying" happiness; life's too short to dwell on the dark stuff :))

Can't wait to get back.
