I am thankful that my husband was able to come home to visit for Thanksgiving.
What are you thankful for?

Winter made a lot of friendship bracelets this week–and taught Liberty to make one, too! I cut flowers from the garden for my table. I cut asparagus from the garden (we’re getting about 2 pounds a week now, one pound at a time, so I planted some seeds that I collected from my heirloom Mary…

Elsa’s dress is a new-to-us dress this week from a garage sale. I reprogrammed the drip system to water a few minutes less per day, since the weather is starting to cool down (I know these are high summer temperatures for many of you in colder climates!). I opened the windows to cool the house…

I gleaned olives on Saturday. I’ll be processing them this week. I canned 4 quarts of giardeniera, using cucumbers from our garden. I canned 24 quarts of pears. This is just one side of my front walk; both sides have basil, plus there is more basil behind this. This pictures was taken after I made…

My husband and I attended our nephew’s State championship lacrosse game. My nephew’s team won. He is a fantastic player; he is the #2 player in the country right now. It was a great game and a beautiful night. The boys participated in the Cub Scout Rain Gutter Regatta this week. I finished Wren’s skirt….

Note: This post contains affiliate and referral links. The garden’s abundance this week was wonderful. I picked peaches and figs from the trees. I cut grapes and cucumbers from the vines, picked tomatoes, cut green onions, parsley, and basil. I also dug my garlic (later than I should have!). Being spring planted, the garlic is…

I cut roses and larkspur from the garden and brought them in. I made a blue skirt for Wren using fabric from my grandmother’s stash. I gave Elsa a haircut. I bobbed her hair. I picked peaches from our tree. I also harvested the first of the blackberries, Swiss chard, bolted lettuce, green onions, sugar…
I am thankful for my husband.
I am grateful my close friend’s adult daughters want to recreate their childhood tradition of the four of us baking Christmas cookies together, so we’ve scheduled that. ❤️
I’m thankful we have finally come to a decision about where to retire. It’s been more and more difficult for us to live alone as we age. I feel like we will be entering a new stage of our lives and I’m looking forward to being close to our children and some of our grandchildren.
I hope you had a wonderful time together! I’m thankful for the miracles of modern medicine. I’ve just finished a round of chemotherapy cream on my forehead to get ahead of some pre-cancerous spots. I look horrible, but it’s all good!
As silly as it may sound I was extremely thankful for ”finding my way back” to my Pinterest account which I couldn’t access for 6+ months. I really do need something beautiful to look at during the dark and cold winter months, and there it is, all neatly categorized 🙂
I am thankful for having a daughter and her family live near by! Yesterday I popped in to grab some compost and we chatted for half an hour while I helped with lunch prep and played with her youngest, who is 15 months old. Having kids in other states and countries make me so grateful to have their family so close and attending church together! It is a gift!
I am grateful for warmer than typical weather.
I am grateful for a good night’s sleep and a warm home to sleep in.
I am grateful that my Mother’s fall off the step-stool resulted in only a bruised ego and a small bruise on her bottom and nothing more.
I am grateful that my parents live only 3 blocks away from us and are still living independently at 91 3/4 and 87 years of age.

I am thankful that Thanksgiving left lots of leftovers in my fridge, which meant less grocery shopping and easy to prepare meals. I am also grateful to watch Christmas movies on my streaming services. I try to be selective, but I love the variety of movies that are out there. One I watched recently, which I hadn’t seen before, was “The Man Who Invented Christmas,” the imagined story of Charles Dickens as he wrote “A Christmas Carol”.
I am very grateful to I who picked up a coupon I had, then went to the store and picked up the free item. She then went and picked up the Christmas cards I made from my photos. So I was able to write almost all of my Christmas cards today. And it saved me a lot of money as I did not have to take a cab. I am really thankful.
Brandy, just saw on Krazy Coupon Lady…..La Moderna pasta .48 on Amazon.Thank you for making time for us and sharing your life with us.
I am grateful for your lovely blog and all of the kind and kindred readers and helpful comments. You are all a blessing and make life better.
