Day 300 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

         Today I am thankful for my bestie Priscilla coming over to hang out with me and bringing a movie!! Dan, Priscilla, and I chatted, laughed and watched the movie. It was such a fun night!! All you need in life is your family and a few really good friends and I am thankful for both! She brought the Disney movie COCO which celebrates the Land of the dead.  It was a really cute movie. As soon as Olivia came downstairs, she said..."Oh, my best friend Priscilla is here, hi bestie." Olivia thinks my four best friends are her four best friends!! She thinks Priscilla, Jackie, Carol and Nancy are also her best friends!! Dan and I were out running errands most of the day.  We went to the Wild Bird store to get bird seed and then to a Goodwill store close-by.  Unbeknownst to me until I checked out, it was a 50% off day!! I only got two small items so it wasn't a big deal but everyone loves a bargain! Then I went to Michaels craft store and Dan shopped in Acme.  I got some Halloween decorations to make a cake for book club tomorrow  night!  I better stay home and get the book read by tomorrow night. I only have a few chapters left! If I don't get it made in time, I'll just go buy some snacks to take with me.  We read THE WITCH OF LIME STREET.  It was a spooky book about a female psychic and about Houdini trying to convince everyone she was a fraud! Caroline loves Halloween and her house is really decorated for the holiday!! She has the coolest Halloween decorations! After Michaels and Acme we went home and unloaded our things and Priscilla came over!  I wanted to give Priscilla some junk food but she resisted! I bought lunch meat to make hoagies but Priscilla brought a salad from Paneras!  She has lost thirty pounds!! Amazing!! It was a fun day and a fun night and I am thankful for both! 
         Work on the GLAM ROOM continues.  Dan redid the wiring on Olivia's make-up mirror because the cord came out of the back and he wants to hang it flush against the wall.  Dan drilled a hole in the bottom and pulled the cord through there instead.

       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&
