Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful...

• that Big Brother is over and DAN WON!


• that Halloween candy hits the store shelves at least 2 months in advance of the holiday. That way I can make sure it's good enough to give out to the little Trick or Treaters (assuming there is any left ;)


• for the lovely cool mornings we've had this week. Fall is definitely setting up house in my corner of the world.


• for tubs of Clorox wipes. Since I am still rather obsessive/compulsive about keeping my new bathroom sparkling clean, the wipes make the job so much easier.


• for neighbors who checked on my family this morning after hearing that there was a very bad wreck at the end of our street. We weren't involved, but our neighbors were checking on everyone.


• for the excellent senior pictures my brother, Carl, took of my soon-to-graduate son, Chip.


• for the hummingbirds that have been hanging out around my house. It's getting cooler, little buddies. You may want to start heading south.


• for great novels like The Other Boleyn Girl - one of the best books I have read in a long, long time. Now I must rent the movie...


• that Ashley is doing a great job each evening putting her dinner dishes into the dishwasher


• for Ashley's new teacher this year, Ms. Sheets
