Sunday Grains of Gratitude

Let is Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

We had 14 inches on Friday and yesterday some melted and this morning we have a fresh batch! It is pretty...but chilly!

Sunday Grains of Gratitude.

1. I am grateful for my husband, who doesn't mind me going on crazy shopping sprees with a bunch of crazy ladies once in awhile. Happy Birthday honey! My precious Veteran (Vietnam) was born on Veterans Day.

2. I am grate for cell phones so that I can talk to my daughter Timoni and son Luke who live thousands of miles away. My daughter often calls me when she is on her way home from work and my son calls whenver he gets a whim. Tara and Joey call me to let me know when they are coming, if they will be late...they are a blessing and help me to have peace of mind.

3. I am thankful for my crazy lady friends, Leann and Kathy, Pat and Tana, Tanya, Karmen and Trinity and my daughter Tara and granddaughter Alexys who joined us for part of the adventure. I am thankful for all the wonderful bargains we found but most importantly for the friendships!

4. I am thankful my daughter Tara found a WONDERFUL two bedroom, 1 1/2 bath townhouse right near a Christian daycare! God is so good! She can't wait to decorate Alexys nursery in Winnie the Pooh!

5. I am thankful for my nice warm home while it is once again snowing outside.

I love your beautiful snow pictures. I grew up in the north, and while I really don't miss those cold, snowy winters I do love the beauty of snow covering everything with that pure blanket of white. I picture you all cozy an warm inside with a book and a cup of hot chocolate (or tea). Have a restful day. Glad you had a fun trip!

How wonderful for your daughter. I always get so excited when it's time to help my girls decorate, especially a nursery! You're going to have so much fun with that. I'm so glad she found a place near Christian daycare. What a blessing.

I love your Grains of Gratitude. If I ever get my act together, I'm going to try this. You did a lovely job with it.

I may blogg about it sometime. But in all honesty the speaker never said anything that I would have deep thought or little of.
Not saying that I'm not "Thankful"
