Day 166 of 365 Days of Being Thankul

         Today I am thankful that Olivia won a raffle basket!  She entered a raffle at a beauty supply store. Olya and I picked it up for her because she was at school.    
I think you got a raffle ticket if you spent a certain amount of money! She definitely spent enough of our money for supplies to get a raffle ticket!  She won third place raffle.
 Olivia won an apron, some hair care products and a pink flamingo cup holder!!  






Olivia's Cosmetology teacher won this shirt and cap at an event she attended.  She gave them to Olivia because they are XS and Olivia  was the only one in class that they fit!
  Olivia was so excited! Olya took a picture of her raffle win and sent it to her!  Olya and I went to Kohl's and she got a new bathing suit and cover up.  I will take Olivia on Sunday or Monday so that she can get a swim suit and cover up.  I also bought a few small things for Olivia for her birthday next month! We stopped at a produce store on the way home.  We were only going to get a few things but, as usual we wound up filling a cart! It's always about the food!! I am thankful that Dan and I can afford healthy foods for our kids!
      When we got home, Olya started playing with our cat Nittany. He thinks he is still small and can fit under the ottoman and not be seen. He thinks he is hiding, sight unseen!!! He's hard to find so look closely and you might see a glimpse of him!

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&
