TGIF

I encouraged my daughter to start every week writing down the things she is thankful for. It would not be a bad idea for her mum to do the same. So here goes--the first one is this child and how looking at his photo makes me tear a bit. He is a joy to Nana and Papa and we are so thankful he loves to call us a couple times a week to tell us about his day. I will be flying out to see him for a week in Sept. and do whatever he wants. We are eating mac and cheese, marshmallows, and popcorn so he says. Reading lots of books from the library and going to the park will be part of our days also. I am looking foreward to seeing Callee's place and spending time in her and Keenans life.

#2. That my sister loves me enough to know when I am having a really hard week here on the home front and buys me a wonderful gift to show me how much she loves me. I am very thankful that I have a sister and will be looking forward to seeing her and all her guys in a few short weeks at Cori and Evans wedding.

#3. That this fine women whom I am very proud to say is my mom made it through another trip to the emergency room. We are all very thankful she is home again and doing better. I do hope she will stop scaring me like this!! LOL. She continues to impress me daily and I am thankful to get the chance to payback a little for all the care she has poured out to her family.

#4 That our son and Mike were here to help with Gram this week. I am thankful for Lynney, who was so willing to fly out here for 2 weeks and help mom when we went through 2 surgeries in 7 days. I know that was hard with all the planning for Cori's wedding that needed to be done.

Bud living closer has been so fun for me--next time we are hiking (he will fish and I will draw) Cash will charge along and jump around in the water. I love those times together with Bud.

Until next week.
