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 120 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

            Today I am thankful for the wonderful day I had on Sunday with my best friend Priscilla, and later with Dan.  I got up and went to a flea market in a close by shopping center.   I stopped at a Giant food store to get a flower for Priscilla's daughter's grave. I checked out and the male cashier asked me if I was Olivia's mother. He said and you have another daughter who was a year behind us, right?  He graduated with Olivia.  He asked me if she was still  at Penn State, what she was up to, etc.  I didn't expect that only because I was about 30 minutes away from home.  He told me that he had to drop out of the trade school he was in because he was in a bad motorcycle accident and has a metal rod in his leg and pins and screws in his collar bone and shoulder. I am not a fan of motorcycles!  I think they are so dangerous, especially because riders don...

       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 s...

          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.
