Thankful Thursday


It's a rainy Thursday here the first week of March.

What is on your thankful list?

I am thankful for...

~ my husband trying new recipes with the freshly milled flour and how he's gotten really good at the blueberry muffins.  I love to see him try something new and enjoy it so much!

~ when I get a text from my big boy.

~ the sweet things my little guy says, like one day he said "You've been working all day."  It had been a busy day and I'd done a lot of things, it was sweet he noticed.

~ the sweet friends at church who had a lovely shower for my son and his soon to be bride.  It was so nice and also special to see family and friends.

~ using time at baseball practice to write the cards I send and also coloring!  

~ wonderful rain!

Well this week was apparently  my turn to be sick.  I thought I would be better by  now.  My throat doesn't hurt now so that is an improvement.  I couldn't believe how much I slept yesterday.  

I am thankful for...
~ starting the "Re Engage" program with my husband at our church.

~  that my big boy felt better and was able to go back to work this week.

~  my little guy being helpful and gentle with me as I was sick.  

~ that we got to go watch our niece show her goat.  She did so well!

~ the valentine bracelet my other niece made me.  It makes me smile.  I'm sad I haven't been well to wear it anywhere! 

~ a friend bringing us supper this week.  
Have a day of blessings!

Wednesday Hodgepodge



1. Something you've waited for recently? 
Getting in to a dr. appointment. My dr. was sick so I went to an urgent care.  Which reminded me why I don't really like going to these clinics....at least not this one.

2. What's something you loved to do as a child? 

I played school a lot and also restaurant.  I would pretend my window was the drive thru.

3. Something you learned from a grandparent? 

My Peepaw when I was learning how to drive....you don't have to scoot over for someone to pass you if you are going to speed limit. 

4. The most visited cities in the world last year (according to this site) were-Bangkok, Paris, London, Dubai, and Singapore. Have you been to any of the cities mentioned? Which would you most like to see? How do you feel about international travel in general these days? 

I've never been to any of these cities and really have never had a desire to travel internationally.  Certainly right now I wouldn't want to plan a trip.

5. February is the perfect month to ______________________.

have a birthday!  Mine is the 27th.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I guess after two weeks of caring for the boys this week was my turn to be sick.  I didn't get tested for the flu but think that is what it was.  I was tested for strep but it was negative.  My throat hurt terribly.  It hurts less today so that's an improvement at least.  I've slept so much.  

This product was recommended by several people before we were sick so I got it to try.  I think it really helped my flu symptoms from getting worse or continuing.  



Have a day of blessings!
