Day 212 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

         Today I am thankful for all of the suggestions to help my sciatica.  My friend Deb G suggested a chiropractor.  I had never even thought of that! When we were on Dan's family reunion, his cousin Anne suggested a massage therapist.  I still do the exercises to stretch the piriformis muscle but they don't seem to do much.  I read online about something called piriformis muscle syndrome.  I think I have it. I need some serious pain meds!
         My friend Deb G's daughter is working for Cirque du Soleil as a seamstress! 
What an exciting job!  Her daughter is a fabulous seamstress!  She has won many sewing awards at the state level! That seems like such an exciting job!! My niece Erica dated a guy who controlled the dragon in the hit Broadway musical theater show Aladdin!  We saw Aladdin on Broadway, it was fabulous!
He took her backstage and gave her a tour!  Another exciting, not run of the mill,  job. When I am sitting in the theatre,  I don't think about the "behind the scenes" people who keep the show running smoothly!!  But everyone of them is essential to keep the show running successfully!  I think today's generation is not as much about making money as they are about having a fulfilled life.
         Last night Olivia and Frankie went to Paneras with Renee for dinner.  Afterwards, they came back to our house.  They usually watch movies in the basement.  However, Dan was down there watching the History channel about Hitler.  So they stayed in the family room with Olya and I.  We had fun chatting and  playing with our new kitty.  Frankie never gets tired of playing with her and the kitty never gets tired of playing!!

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.
