Thankful Thursday (on Friday)

I know - it's really Friday - but I was sick yesterday and took the whole day off from writing. So, here is this week's Thankful Thursday on Friday list. Today I am thankful...

• that after 73 days in the hospital, BROOKE IS HOME!!


• for freshly-baked, gooey chocolate chip cookies


• for James Taylor concert tickets! Amy and I are going to see him next week!


• that the weather has finally gotten cooler. Richmond set a record for heat earlier this week, and today I had to turn on the heat in my car for my morning commute.


• for home-made cinammon applesauce, made with the apples my family picked a couple of weeks ago


• that Ashley slept seven straight hours last night! We've had some rough nights this week, and she and I really needed a break from all her middle of the night partying


• for cough drops


• for my fat cat, Winky, who likes to sleep right next to my feet at night. She's better than a hot water bottle anyday!


• that my next door neighbor, Mr. Baldwin, is back home after his hospital stay last week


• that my son, Corey, has brought his failing English grade up to a 'C'
