Thankful Thursday

Yes, yes, I know - it's Friday, not Thursday. Having Monday off this week has thrown my whole schedule off. But regardless of the day of the week, I am still thankful...

• that those frozen Weight Watcher's pizzas taste as good as they do


• that Ashley is finally recovering from the very nasty cold she had last weekend


• for the striking red-headed woodpecker who perches in the big maple tree right outside my window and serves as my alarm clock every morning


• that I was able to talk to my beautiful 19 year old niece on the phone last night. Well actually, I listened while she talked, but it was still a great time.


• that Corey was accepted as a teen volunteer (volunteen, as his nametag says) at our local library for the summer


• for Visine and non-red eyes despite the massive pollen problems we have had this Spring


• for parents like Vickie Beatty who fight the long battles for accessibility.


• that I was able to experience the brilliant humor of Harvey Korman. May he rest in peace.


• for how much better food tastes when it is cooked on the grill


• that when shoe shopping, I find a shoe I really like the looks of, AND, it fits like a glove when I try it on
