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 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.
