This year…

This year I am thankful for having a wonderful husband of two years and my family and friends for all their love, laughter and support, often from far away via phone, emails and instant messages. I am thankful for a decent job with funny and interesting co-workers and for the housing market in south Texas that allows me to have a great house (even if it needs painting). I am thankful for having a hobby that I love and the thought that maybe one day it might not pay the bills but at least pay for itself. I am thankful for authors who entertain me, enlighten me, and soothe me almost every evening. There are a million things that I am thankful for and just think of all of them can make you dizzy.

I did make Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and rolls. And for dessert? I got to cross something off my list…I made pie! Peach pie. And despite the soupiness of it, it was pretty good. We debated about painting this weekend, but Tim is getting over a head cold and it is damp outside and supposed to rain all night tonight and tomorrow. So instead, we got out our Christmas decorations, played on the computers, and movie watched. I also did a little sewing…finished the quilt top for the one quilt I am making for christmas. Later…reading and book cataloging. It is amazing how many books we have and what they are worth.

Hope everyone else is having a nice holiday weekend!
