Day 148 of365 Days of Being Thankful


       I am still trying to catch up from being in the hospital.  Today I am thankful that we all went to Renee and Adam's house for dinner.  Olivia's boyfriend Frankie also met us at Renee's and ate dinner with us. I am just exhausted,  to have someone else prepare and cook hot food was beyond wonderful!  Adam grilled turkey burgers, hamburgers, and hot dogs.  Renee also made baked French fries, and corn on the cob.  Everything was hot and delicious!  I made and brought sugar free raspberry Jello with fruit and fat free whipped topping.  I have to watch what I eat for a few weeks until my stomach is back to feeling OK. We all had a lot of fun eating and chatting and laughing. I am so glad that my daughters get along and are close because that is what life is really about.  When I was in the hospital there was a white board in the room.  Olivia wrote a message to me...Love you, your Fav daughter Olivia, then Renee crossed out Olivia's name and wrote her name when she came to visit. Then when Olya came to visit, she crossed out Renee's name and wrote her name in the spot!

     I got a lot done today and I am so glad about it.  I ran my Roomba and then ran my Brava Jet mop. It still takes a lot of time because I have to move the throw rugs and wash them, and move all of the chairs out of the way! I am totally exhausted but I can't stand a messy or dirty house! Tomorrow I have to see my family doc to get checked out. We have the best family doc ever and I am thankful for his knowledge! He filled out all of the medical paperwork for us when we were adopting.  He was very supportive of both of our adoptions.  We had to take a notary with us to notarize his signature. Dr. Fox was very patient because we had to redo our paperwork several times!
   Today I had to make a ton of doctor appointments! I am thankful to be finished with that task! I have t get two more MRIs, one for my spine and one for my gastric area.  I hate being squeezed into that machine.  It is so noisy in there and I have claustrophobia! I will be thankful when those tests are over!

       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&
