Day 173 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

        Today I am thankful for chatting with my physical therapist. 
She was just at the facility for a week while the regular guy was on vacation.  I really liked her a lot! She had me stand in front of a mirror while I did one of my shoulder exercises.  I said to her, "Do you want me to stand here so that I can watch myself be in pain?"  She lives in the area so we started talking about local restaurants!  It is always about the food!! I am in more pain when I do the therapy.  I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing!! Maybe it is temporary pain for permanent improvement!! However, I am thinking that it is just pain!
       Since Olivia and Olya are both 20(Irish twins, Olivia will be 21 next month), I won't pay for anything except a haircut at the salon.  If they want to color their hair or get any treatments, they have to pay for it themselves.  I usually get my hair cut a Hair Cuttery, which costs about $20.  Olivia and Olya go to an upscale salon where haircuts are close to $100 plus tip.  Funny how they are keeping their natural color now that I have stopped paying!!! They are Ukrainian and both have beautiful,  natural color hair!! They both have natural highlights in their hair!!
 
           
Yesterday I found a solar powered fountain for my birdbath.  Dan ordered it last night!  I think that I keep adding to my garden to torment Olivia!! It looks so cool!  I think the birds will love it!  They splash around in my birdbath all of the time, especially on hot days!!

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 for the wonderful day we spent yesterday.  We went to a restaurant to celebrate Renee and Adam's birthday with about 25 people!   Adam's parents and his brother Dan and his girlfriend came.  Renee and Adam and his brothers and wives/girlfriends and parents are all going on a trip to Lebanon in August.  Renee is excited because she has never been there! Walid's family, Adam's father, owns a huge hospital in Lebanon. It was nice to see all of them. Renee married into a lovely family!  After lunch we all went back to Renee and Adam's house for a large party.  I am guessing about 50 people were at the party!  There was so much food.  There were trays and trays of wraps, sandwiches, fruit, and vegetables.  A huge tray of sushi was demolished in an hour!  I am not a sushi lover or liker so I didn't help eat any of that tray! There were so many desserts that it was difficult what to choose to...

        Today I am thankful that Dan and I had dinner with Olivia and Frankie.  They went to the Renaissance Faire today.  They went with two other couples and had a lot of fun! I got up at 10:30 a m and went to the cemetery with Dan.  I took the marijuana drops when I got up, smallest dose of 2.5 ml, and felt so tired.  After the cemetery I fell asleep on the couch until 6 p m. Dan thinks I should stop the marijuana drops because all I do is sleep.  When I got up, we started talking about getting Chinese food for dinner.  Dan called Olivia and Frankie to pick it up on the way home.  It was all delicious(always about the food)  I HAVE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT FOOD SO MUCH! My scale says I have to shut my big mouth from eating too much!    We got to hear about all of their fun at the fair!  Since I am sort of  housebound due to my sciatica pain, I need to live my life vicariously through others!! They took cut...
