Day 263 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

        Today I am thankful for having Olivia do my nails at her cosmetology school! There is a salon in the school and all the services are provided by the students.  I got a manicure. The prices are very low, $6 for a manicure but they didn't charge me since Olivia is my daughter.  I gave her a twenty dollar tip.
 She did a really nice job.  I enjoyed seeing her at her school working in the salon! The lovely black and blue mark on my right hand  is from my IV for anesthesia when I got an epidural block shot in my back on Monday. It sort of takes away from the look of my manicure!  Olivia looks so cute in her work smock!
Olivia was all business doing my manicure!  I got the full treatment!  
  It really is a small world!  There are a lot of feral cats near Olivia's school.  One of the teachers feeds the cats daily and she bought them a small shelter for when it is raining so that they and the cat food stay dry.  My bereaved mom friend Kathy lives right near Olivia's cosmetology school and she also goes and feeds the feral cats everyday with Olivia's teacher.  She has been on the lookout for Olivia but hasn't seen her.  She told me that she had seen a girl that looked like Olivia but the girl had dark hair, not blond!  I had told her that Olivia was a blond and I forgot to tell her that Olivia is now a redhead.
Dan and I worked on he GLAM ROOM for a bit tonight.  We swept the floor and sized the carpet pad and laid the pad.  Tomorrow night we will lay the capet that I ordered from Home Depot.  Then Dan will hang the ceiling lights and Olivia can load up the room!!!

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&
