Day 174 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

     Little Yikes!  Today was the first day that I fully shampooed and used conditioner on my thin hair.  I am still shedding a bit but I am thankful that I still have most of my hair.  I shampooed lightly the other day and a few small clumps came out.  That was not a good sign. I still envision myself with a shiny, bald head on my pillow in the morning. Today I fully shampooed and conditioned and put in some product for straightening.  I am not going to use heat yet!! My drain got clogged from hair shedding but no clumps came off in my hands!!!!The name of the conditioning treatment that caused all this is AFFIRM. It should say we affirm that you will lose hair!!!
      Today we are going out to lunch to celebrate Renee and Adam's birthday,  Their birthdays are only a few days apart.  Adam's parents and brother and family are coming and it will be nice to see all of them. I got them a few small things and Amazon gift cards.  Adam likes Amazon a lot!  Olivia is going down the shore after work with her boyfriend.  His family rented a house for a week and invited Olivia to join them.  I am allowing her to take off one day of school on Monday.  Dan or I will go pick her up. I sent one dinner for the family and I told Olivia and Frankie to cook the burgers, hot dogs, beans, and corn on the cob. Their two daughters and husbands and two granddaughters are also going so I sent some crafts for the little girls. I sent Tastykakes for dessert and potato chips for snacking! I also sent soda, condiments, paper plates, plastic utensils, and paper cups. I also sent an aluminum pan for heating the beans.  So, except for the pan they use for the corn, clean-up will be simple and easy!
 Frankie said he didn't know how to cook so I sent directions to Olivia. Somehow, I have a feeling that Frankie's parents will be cooking! When Frankie's parents saw the things Frankie brought home, they were very appreciative and said..."Olivia is a keeper!"  Forget Olivia, I am the keeper!!  All kidding aside, I am glad they like Olivia!

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&
