What are you thankful for today?
I cut cucumbers, red noodle beans, thyme, basil, and lavender from the garden. I downloaded 10 free geography worksheets from education.com. They have a limit of 10 free ones each month. I printed free penmanship worksheets, dot to dot worksheets, and math worksheets. I do these each week but I don’t usually list them; links…
I cut branches from my apple tree for some indoor greenery. These have lasted all week. The vase was one my brother sent to me when Ivory was born (with flowers at the time). It’s sitting on my free piano! We paid to have it moved and tuned only; it was given to us by someone who was…
We had a beautiful birthday for Elsa this week. I made presents for her (more on those in an upcoming post). I made Eiffel Tower chocolates and from-scratch cupcakes with homemade cream cheese frosting for her. Winter made a banner for her. I cut daffodils from the garden to decorate the table.

I am thankful for the work and care of the people who post regularly on the facebook page of the historical society from the small town where my parents grew up. This brings back my parents and grandparents in my mind as I see reminders of the good lives they lived, even just doing ordinary things.
I am thankful for the people that comment here who make up a wonderful, supportive and encouraging community. Of course, none of this would be possible without you, Brandy, so I am thankful for you. Likewise for my friends far and wide.
I am grateful that technology has allowed me to teach from my home.
I am thankful for helping hands that put together a funeral luncheon for a woman in our community. Sweet people to work with, help out, and get to know better.
I am thankful for living in a wonderful community with kind neighbors.
