Day 298 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

         Today I am thankful that I got to chat with Olivia after cosmetology school today.  I love to hear all of the updates on the clients and students at school!  She is now "on the floor."  That means that she works on actual clients.  The clients know it is a student salon but the prices are really cheap so they seem to have a steady flow of clients.  I am glad that I pick her up most days so that we get to chat! Later she went to the mall to meet some of her cosmetology school friends.  They were deciding on Halloween Costumes because they dress up for school on Halloween! I found a really cute DIY Minnie Mouse costume and also a SPICE Girls Costume.
Both costumes would be so easy to make and very cheap to make!  We have red caps, I think and we also have Minnie Ears from going to Disney! Today Olivia got her roots dyed at school, actually she had her whole head done a more red version of what she had before.  I went into the school today and her teacher said "BYE REDS" as we were leaving!
Olivia likes the costume below for her and Frankie.  She wants Frankie to wear the spaghetti!
I go back to the Hyperbaric Chamber this afternoon.  I am hoping that I will get some relief with more sessions.  Who ever really knows? My pain management doctor told me that it is a waste of time and money but it did wonders for my friend Jill.  The proof is in the pudding and it worked for Jill!  I am still going to get shots in my back, three to be exact, in November, all two weeks apart. I can only get around now with a walker, sometimes with a cane. I am virtually housebound and rarely go anywhere.

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&
