Day 27 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

   
      I am thankful for the public library.  I went to the library yesterday and picked up a book that I had put on reserve.  The library is full of so many wonderful books, dvds, computers, etc. The best thing is that the books are free to borrow!  I just love books! If I were rich, I'd spend most of my time reading.  Books are always so much better than TV or movies. I recently read the book Plain Truth which I bought for $1 from the used book cart at the library.  I also rented the DVD for $1 after I read the book.  The movie was a poor representation of the book.  I rarely think that a movie is as good as a book that I've read.  The library also has a book club.  It is open to anyone, male or female.  I occasionally attend if I've read the book recently.  Last night I went because they were discussing Plain Truth.   The librarian runs the book club.  She is really nice. Personally, I prefer all female book clubs.
       Last month the library had a display of handmade quilts. They were magnificent.  I can't believe how much talent that some people possess!  They also display works of Art from local artists.  I know the library also has a scrabble club, I've never attended that.  And they have a preschool story time. There are so many wonderful free books, clubs, magazines, displays, dvds, cds, and information at the library.

Day 77 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

       Today is St Patty's Day! Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!  This isn't a holiday that we usually ceIebrate because Dan and I are not big drinkers.  I don't drink at all, maybe a sip of champagne at a wedding but that is it. Today I am thankful  that Olivia and I are going to the thrift store. I love going to thrift stores. I absolutely need nothing but I always find something there.  My youngest daughter Olya is a great thrift store shopper, she always finds new name brand clothing. I guess if you're pretty and thin, you look good in anything! My girls could wear paper bags and look good! Since it is St Patrick's Day, the thrift shop is giving 17% off of purchases. So I am sure we will come home with plenty of stuff we don't need.       Today was Joe's birthday.  When we called him we asked what my granddaughter Kaylee wanted for her birthday in April.  She will be 7. I asked her if she wanted a gift card/money to buy what she wanted or if

          Today I am thankful that we are having a good time on our vacation in Texas!! We didn't have any set plans and just decided to do things as we had time.  Dan really wanted to visit NASA so we did that and we all enjoyed the visit.  Time just keeps moving forward in life and it is the simple things and shared moments that mean the most.  This was the MOST crowded place we went to on our trip. After Nasa we decided to head to Galveston.  We found a great place to tour.  It was called the Bishop's Palace. It was a beautiful historical house that was once owned by a very rich couple, Josephine and Walter Gresham, and later owned by the Catholic archdiocese of Galveston and became the Bishop's home.  The woodwork inside was magnificent and breathtaking!  Olivia and Olya really enjoyed touring the home.

          Today I am thankful that we went on a vacation to Texas for the Winter break!  We wanted to go somewhere new and just have a relaxing and fun time together!  We went to see the George Bush Memorial and Presidential Library. The museum part was closed due to the government shut down but it was very humbling to visit the grave of George, his wife Barbara, and their daughter Robin Bush. Robin died at age 4 from leukemia.  Robin's legal name was Pauline.  There was a cop on duty, I guess to prevent vandalism or grave robbing.  The place was mobbed!  I was so surprised because the museum part was closed.  We could see his desk and his presidential limo inside the gate of the museum.  I am wondering who funds the presidential libraries and how they choose a place to erect the presidential libraries.  Bush's Presidential Library is on the grounds Texas A & M University. I know he attended there.  The girls googled some of the other presidential libraries.  Clinton&
