Thankful: November 23rd
I’m thankful for my two-year-old, who yesterday answered my childhood question of whether or not it was possible to stick green olives with pimentos on one’s fingers just as well as black olives. If your fingers are small enough, you sure can! I’m also thankful for all of his ugs, and his remark to…

I’m thankful for the gladness of weddings. I’ve happily attended three this year, including the one in my own back yard. Each was a unique and beautiful event reflecting the dreams and tastes of very different couples, but they had these in common: love, hope, joy.

June, post-pandemic
A real cause to celebrate
Love, a breath of air.

I am grateful that the book arrived on Friday. Saturday was a beautiful day which we spent at our printers where we boxed books for mailing, put books in envelopes we’d previously addressed, managed to have books picked up by our volunteers who are storing them, and delivered books according to delivery routes to the volunteers who will deliver them (and in fact have done so). We tried to beat the weather change yesterday but ended up distributing books to people who braved the weather and came to pick them up. We sat in the snow. And we are thankful that we have heat!
It started snowing today and will continue every day for the rest of the week. I’m thankful for a warm home and a warm dog who loves to cuddle! Also, the 25-year-old snowblower started on the first pull!
I’m also thankful that all of the Thanksgiving leftovers have either been eaten or frozen. In addition to freezing turkey cubes for future meals, I also froze two ready-to-eat meals. (We ate a ready meal last week–these are so handy when I can’t or don’t want to cook).
I’m sorry you’ve been ill, Brandy. I hope you and your family feel better soon.
