Day 180 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

        Today I am thankful that Olivia is back home safe and sound.  Her boyfriend drove her home last night.  He looked really tired, I am not sure why they left so late and he was driving back down the shore after he dropped her off.  I told him to sleep here and get up early and go back to the shore.  His mom made his brother and girlfriend ride with him to make sure he stayed awake.  His parents seem really nice.  They treated Olivia to dinner and boardwalk rides the whole time she was there, and they had a ton of people there! They have four kids, the youngest son is in high school and the oldest two are out of the house living on their own with a child.  Each of their four kids had a spouse or significant other staying with them!
        I am also thankful that I got to see my niece Erica today.  Erica and I see the world from the same viewfinder! I was at PT this morning.  When I got home, I cleaned the kitchen and put in a load of wash.  Then I played my phone messages.  Erica had called to ask me if she and her friend Grace could come over and swim.  I called her back to tell her it was fine but she said, "we are already here at the pool!" That was funny, they had been here awhile and I didn't even know it!! My pool is on the side of my house so I can't see it if I look out back! I made tacos, they cut up all the veggies and lunch was served! They actually served themselves!

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.
