Day 303 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

         Today I am thankful that work on OLIVIA'S GLAM ROOM is finally progressing!
Dan hung the make-up mirror and we moved in the sparkly table. Olivia spray painted a white table we got a a thrift sore.The light fixtures are hung and are really nice and bright and pretty! We are leaving the ceiling as is for an industrial look!



  Dan has to cut a slit in the rug and move in the shelf unit.  Then Olivia can move most of her things in.  Most of the time consuming work(wiring the light fixtures, laying the rug and pad, rewiring the make up mirror and hanging it on the wall) is finished!!  She has a few other things for the walls including a jewelry hanging, picture frames, and a few canvas poster type pictures.  I can't wait until it is finished! More up
dates on the GLAM ROOM tomorrow.  Olivia was down there for hours setting up her make-up and moving furniture around!! It's looking good!!

          I went back to the hyperbaric chamber today.  I am not seeing any improvement in my pain but I will keep trying!! Each visit is $165 so I hope I get something out of it eventually.  So far I have had 6 treatments and I have another one scheduled this week.

Olivia's cosmetology school is having a Halloween party on Halloween.  She signed up to bring in a cake.  I told her I would make one but she wants to buy one so I told her to go buy it with her own money.  All of a sudden, it was OK for me to make it! Here are some cakes I made a few years ago, not too bad for being home-made!

       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&
