Day 233 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

         Today I am thankful that I got to talk to my friend Jackie yesterday!  She always makes me laugh!  She told me that she and Carol won't be able to make the next book club because she will be away visiting her grandson and Carol didn't finish the book.  I told her to tell Carol not to worry about finishing the book beause I read it and I forgot almost all of it!!
The book was "Natural Causes."  The book club is never as much fun if they don't go!  I'll just have to eat extra junk food to balance it out!  I am also thankful that I got to talk to my friend Deb L.  She just called to see how I was doing post-surgery!
         I am also SO, SO, SO THANKFUL that I got to make an appointment with the PT that my friend Priscilla recommended! I am seeing him at the end of the month! My sciatica is so painful, he couldn't make it any worse! My checkbook will take a hit but it is worth it if he can help me! At this point, I would sign over ALL of my wordly goods to him if he can help me get out of pain.
         I am also thankful that Olya is enjoying her classes.   Sometimes  young people don't realize how great they have it while in college, especially if their parents are totally funding the education.They should enjoy the ride because it eventually ends!  The gravy train runs out for our kids after college.  Then it  is "welcome to the world of full-time employment!"

         Last night Olivia, Frankie, Dan,  and I ate at Chipotle. Frankie and Olivia love Chipotle so I wanted to check it out.
Dan and I had never eaten at Chipotle before and we NEVER will again!  It is sort of like a Mexican Subway! The food looked and smelled delicious! I should have gotten a clue from the picture of a hot pepper on the sign!!!
 Chipotle is one and done for us!
The sauce  that they cook the meat in is so spicy and hot!! Olivia told us that it was just grilled chicken and grilled steak. I had to soak my tongue in the ice water in my cup!! It still burned!!! Think about sucking on hot coals soaked in lighter fluid and then pouring on some gasoline!  It would have been good if it wasn't so spicy! Frankie eats it with more hot sauces!! I don't know how he does it! I will try to recreate it at home with just regular grilled chicken and meat!

       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&
