The theme for this week's Thankful Thursday is Thanksgiving! I hope all of you enjoyed the recent Thanksgiving holidays with family and loved ones.
This week I'm thankful for...
* enjoying a nice dinner at Olive Garden with my husband (and son!) this week. We normally do not go out in the middle of the week but Tuesday he had an out of town meeting and got in late. Plus we were taking the car to the shop to check the brakes. Add to that it was a special anniversary day for us so we went to eat. Olive Garden has recently opened here. We enjoyed it immensely. It was so nice to sit and relax, eating our meal near the fire place. Another thing I was thankful for with my husband this week was the great time we had going to the football game last Saturday.
* my "real live buckaroo." That would be Caleb of course! He has gotten back into his "cowboy kick" lately, wanting to wear his cowboy clothes and tells me he is a real live buckaroo. I think that phrase was in a book or movie. He looks so cute in his boots, Wranglers, and cowboy hat. Tonight he got two towels and tied them onto his shoulders to hang down his body on the sides and said they were his "shields." I think he meant chaps!
* Christmas music. I do love the variety of Christmas songs that are playing in stores and on the radio. I was blessed to listen to my husband's Casting Crowns Christmas CD today in his truck. It is called "Peace on Earth."
* our warm house, snug beds and blankets, and my cozy robe. We had a cold front tonight. I'm glad to be able to stay indoors!
* special family memories. When I'm with my cousin I am always reminded of this. I am just so thankful for the memories we share of past holidays and time spent together. These memories are fun to remember and pass on to Caleb.
As we enter this wonderful holiday season I hope you're heart is full of gratitude. Have a blessed day! Join us for TT by visiting Grace Alone.

I love Olive Garden! It's been one of our favorites for years. Tt's a great place to go for a great, inexpensive meal. I love their soup, salad and breadsticks.
