Day 123 of 365 days of Being Thankful

         Today I am thankful for watermelon. That sounds lame but I really am thankful for watermelon.  I have had a craving for watermelon for a few days.  The weather was so beautiful today, it was like a summer day!  I stopped at the farm market and got a watermelon. I looked at the watermelons for about 10 minutes before I chose one.
  I don't know what I thought I was going to see because there is no way to know if a watermelon is good until it is cut and tasted!
I sort of lugged and rolled it into the top of my shopping cart. I knew I would have a problem lifting it into my car  but I was determined to buy it!  My left shoulder still doesn't have any strength since I had a procedure of removing calcium from it.  I go to PT but some days PT makes it worse. This was a PT morning so my shoulder  really hurt but that was not going to deter me on my watermelon quest.  After I checked out, I looked for a worker with the farm market shirt name but I couldn't find one.  I saw a worker coming in to work with his work shirt on so I got him to load the watermelon into my car.  I called Dan to see when he was coming home but he was really busy at work today.  When he got home about 6, he carried the watermelon in. I cut it and it was so good and definitely worth the wait!!!
         Olivia learned to color hair today.  I guess she can now cover my gray roots!  Olivia has such beautiful naturally thick medium brown hair.
 And her hair grows really fast!  In high school she usually had a blond ombre.  She also went red and went darker brown.  I finally told her that I wasn't  paying for her to color her hair any more because I didn't want her to ruin her hair.  It is now back to it's original color.  Her hair has natural highlights in it.  She is fortunate to have good genes from her biological parents. She told  me that she is going to color her hair red.  I don't think she should do it, but it is  her hair.  I love the natural color of her hair.  She has been red before and it looks nice but I think her natural color is the best.

                 MORE BAT NEWS!!   Yesterday another exterminator came.  The day before the exterminator from Terminix told me that he saw some guano, bat feces, in my attic and they could " fix " my problem for a year contract of $1400.  Today another exterminator came, he was in the attic a long time.  He said he didn't see any guano in my attic.  He didn't think the bats were hidden in the eaves like the Terminix guy thought because of the lack of guano! The second guy told me to find a handyman to close up an opening near my top roof siding and see if that works.  If not, he said they can come back and seal up the house for $795.  I think the Terminix guy just wanted me to sign a contract. The Terminix guy told me that I have mouse activity in my attic so Dan and I will buy traps tomorrow. The second guy told me that sometimes bats just fly around and fin...

Day 6 of Being Thankful

   Today I am thankful for my daughter Olya.  We adopted Olya from Ukraine in 2009.. Olya with her bio relatives Olya with a friend at her home in Ukraine  She was ten and a half years old when we adopted her.  My friend Maggie had found her for me in Ukraine,  She knew I wanted to adopt another girl in the 10-11 year old age range. Olivia was driving me crazy, she always wanted to be doing something. She really wanted a sibling!  I told Dan that we needed to adopt another girl close to Olivia's age so she would have a sibling to grow up with. Dan was fine with it, I think he was excited to go back to Ukraine!   Maggie works for Frontier Horizons, a hosting organization that brings orphans to the U.S. and other countries for a cultural experience. Maggie visits orphanages and selects children for hosting. They try to select children who are available for adoption but that isn't always the case.   It really is a pre-adoption...

         Today I am thankful that I packed three Hefty trash bags for Goodwill.  I have too much of everything!  I 'm anal about my house being clean, neat, and organized. I can't stand clutter.  I am determined to clean out all of my closets! I wonder why any of us keep clothes that we don't wear! I think I had some shirts and pants over 10 years but they are gone now! I have to stay out of the stores so I stop buying crap I don't need.           Olivia and Frankie went to Hershey Park today with another couple Jen and Corey. I am thankful that they have nice friends! Jen and Corey are always up to do fun things! I really like Jen and Corey.  Olivia and Frankie met this couple at a party of one of Olivia's friends and they just clicked! They all play some game called Pokemon Go.  They go to different places and capture Pokemons!  It is an online game that tells them where to go to find the Pokemons....
