Day 301 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

         Today I am thankful that we have all been having such a nice weekend!! On Fri. night, Dan took Olivia and Frankie to a supposedly haunted old prison.
They go every year. It is NOT my thing so I stayed home and read my book! Frankie had never gone to the prison before! They all had a lot of fun! Since they went on a Fri night, it was a little bit cheaper! Priscilla came over last night and we watched a movie. We had so much fun!
I have book club tonight so I had to get my book finished.  I definitely waited until the last minute to finish the book because I just finished this morning. Olivia worked at the salon on Sat. and made $35 in tips!! Dan and I got all of our errands done yesterday so I am thankful for that!  Olivia and Frankie went out with friends and stayed overnight at another friend's apartment.  I don't like when they drive home late at night. Today is my dad's birthday so I will take a balloon for him when we go to the cemetery this afternoon.
         Olya and her friend found an apartment that they like and want to rent for next year.  It is unfurnished.  We have a kitchen table and four chairs, an end table and coffee table, and bedroom chests.  Her roommate's mother said that they have a truck and people to lift and carry.  I am really thankful about that!!! Dan and I can't lift and carry furniture any more! I'll pay for the gas to transport everything! Olya has dishes, pots, and pans we got her this year. They are planning to rent the apartment for two years.  We just have to buy her a mattress and bed frame and she should be good to go!  We'll buy the mattress near her college and have it delivered to her there! The apartment is so much cheaper than I thought we would have to pay that it is NOT a big deal at all for us to buy her a box spring and mattress!

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&
