3 things.

Today I am thankful for 3 things.
1. Thankful to be feeling better.
2. Thankful to have had time to work (and almost be finished)  on a baby afghan for an LSU grandmother-to-be.
3. I am thankful for the sound of keys being hung up as Mr. Macho arrived home in this afternoon.

Oh my.

What am I thankful for today? Good question. I am thankful for kleenexes. Cough drops. A good sofa. And the TV channel TLC.
Got a nasty little head cold and am taking the day off.

Test?

This is a test. What will you make of the next four years?
In all things give thanks. Consider this the perfect, God given, opportunity to do something worthwhile and meaningful. Stretch yourself wide. Go beyond your comfort zone to help someone, to do something good and right. Think positive. Be positive. Turn your other cheek. Give thanks that you have been given a very real opportunity to put your faith into action.
Give thanks and go make a difference.

Election day.

I voted. I love my country and I view my duty to vote an honor.
Today I called off our scheduled trip to the coast to visit my parents. Mr. Macho and I have both developed scratchy throats and sniffles. We will not share the germs with Mom and Dad.
After voting I dropped by the Dollar General and picked up some vitamin C, cough drops, Vapo rub, and Alka Seltzer cold tablets. I am thankful for the convenience. Gotta love those Dollar Generals. They are everywhere.

Monday's warm fuzzy.

It was a mostly good weekend. If you subtract the football. Our team lost Friday night. Two more of our teams lost on Saturday. Saturday night we were split in the cheering section. My team won. His team didn't.

Out of Town Son and his sweet wife spent the night with us Saturday night. Yesterday we so enjoyed visiting with them. Son in Town and his wife and Sweet Pea came by after church and it was a good visit with them, too. 

The Minnie Mouse hat was finished and Sweet Pea got to take it home. 

We visited with Daughter on Skype and the Super Carrot is also learning like a sponge right now. She points to her teeth when prompted. With help she finds her nose and hair. She says "dog" and barks softly. She knows a cow says "moo". 

Sweet Pea serenaded us with her renditions of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "The ABC Song" - sung right into the end of a jump rope for her microphone. 

I just know these two girls are going to be great cousins to each other - Sweet Pea and Super Carrot. Peas and Carrots!

I am so very thankful for my children. I am so proud of each of them. They color my world. 

New digs.

Today I am thankful for decisions made. I have been riding on Daughter's roller coaster ride = making a decision on buying a new house. The deal is made. In a few weeks they will be moving. Relief washes over me.

Ahhh. Saturday.

Slow wake up. Change of pace.
Visits with my offspring.
Football games.
Many reasons to be grateful.
Dear God, Thank you for inventing Saturdays.
