Day 355 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

           Today I am thankful that I finished baking and making the cookie trays for my friends!  These are the last three!  I forgot to put in the chocolate pretzels so I had to gingerly open the wrap and put them in. I am also running my brava wet mop at the same time.  I love my cleaners working while I am busy doing something else!
         I am also thankful that Olya helped clean this morning. Olya is a fabulous cleaner and organizer.  For some reason, Olivia and Olya moved the furniture around in the guest room.!!! I asked them why they moved it.  Olivia told me that I am not in charge of everything in the house!  LOL, Dan said, hello, her name is on the deed, so yes she is! I don't really care that they moved the furniture around, but it cracked me up that they bothered to do it. Olya has been cleaning out her closet.  She is very much like me in that she can't stand clutter!!
         My sciatica is a little better but not much better. I have an appointment next month with a neurologist because I am getting progressively worse and I don't really think I have sciatica, I think it must be something else. 
         I just LOVE the beautiful Poinsettia plant that Frankie' s family sent us.  It is so colorful on my fireplace hearth.  I am thankful that Olivia is dating a boy from a thoughtful and kind family. We ate all of the delicious cookies they baked for us.  I sent them a cookie and brownie tray, a snowman candle, and a snowman plate! I also sent two Troll mugs with an ornament and Christmas candies for his young nieces. I buy a lot of Christmas plates when they are marked down after the holidays and then I fill them for the following year.  I bought Christmas presents for Frankie but I forget what they were, I know one of them is an Eagles sweatshirt.

Day 21 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

        Today I am thankful for the church I belong to and worship at.  It is a non-denominational Bible-based church.  I always feel better after I go to church. I think that listening to the word of the Lord helps me try to live a better life.  While I am in church I am a total believer.  It's after I leave that I have doubts.  There are so many evil and bad things that happen in the world.  I hope that it is because of free choice and not because God doesn't listen to prayers. I like that the church has two huge screens at the front of the altar. Sometimes I can't see the tiny words in the Bible or the hymnal so I am thankful that the words are printed on the screens. I like that my church does kind things.  At Christmas we were asked to bring coats, new or slightly used, scarves, hats and mittens and gloves.  The altar was piled so high with the donations that were going to be distributed to shelters and to the homeless ...

     Today I am thankful for the show "The Chew."   I was watching the show the other day and Carla Hall made a simple ice cream cake.  I went to the store to get the ingredients the next day. I must have a weak mind!  When I taught at Chichester High School, I shared my room with another reading specialist.  She ate lunch while I was teaching.  She always brought the greatest stuff for lunch and weak-minded me often went and bought those things on my way home from work!  I eat mangoes because of her, I had never eaten a mango before in my life!  I am not really even an ice cream lover.  For some reason, I just had to make this simple ice cream cake. It was so simple and really tasty.  How can you go wrong with ice cream, whipped topping, nuts, chocolate syrup and peanut butter?  I even added caramel to the toppings. It was tasty, but very rich!    Each slice of the cake...
