Grateful & Thankful

 1. Grateful for on line ordering and pick up and delivery. Helps with shopping for the big say 26 days away if I am adding correctly. Ha! It is late and we watched our 2 little grandsons earlier. They keep us jumping but it is fun. Thankful for them.

2. Thankful for Wal-Mart who restocked my Colorado postcards. I sure wish more of you could join the fun. It is sad postcards are becoming scare unless you live close to a national landmark or something. I love them and have so many fond memories of the first Postcard Giveaway/Exchange . I sure miss those days. It was great fun and I learned a lot about other states. Countries too! Grateful.

3. Grateful for warmer weather.We have been in the deep freeze and the 30's are a real blessing. Thankful.

4. Thankful for the phamily we adopted for CHRISTmas. It has been fun shopping for them. A single mom with a teen son and pre teen daughter. We even made sure mom does not feel left out. Grateful

5.Grateful for Lite Brite. I remember all of the kids played with it when they were small. I bought one at Target today. It will be fun to have it here after the holidays . I think Brody will be good learning how to use it. Thankful.

6. Thankful for face time and visiting with Hannah and Jake on THANKSgiving and Hannah today. She would be so good at Lite Brite. I hope they can visit when the weather turns warmer too. Grateful

7. Grateful to good friends who always brighten your day. PJ & Cheri, are dear hearts I know through LuLaRoe. They have been busy remodeling their home and working, working, working. So talking with them live on their video tonight was so much fun. PJ is a pretty important guy at the company he manages. Yet is so funny and always being so kind to everyone. Cheri is just a beautiful soul. She lost her mom a year ago and being a nurse did not make it any easier. She is just an amazing person who I enjoy chatting with. Thankful

8. Thankful to know a hot cup of tea and a warm bed await me. This day was very good and I find as I write these thoughts down that my day is better when I Keep my mind clear of negativity. Somedays it is not as easy to be positive but with the holidays I always have that emotional catch and ponder on the wonderful memories I have in my heart. Grateful.

9. Grateful for THANKSgiving leftovers although today with so many errands, we stopped at Culvers for a burger and we had a coupon. for getting them half price! We sat in the parking lot with other folks in our cars after using their drive thru. Thankful.

10. Thankful I have the mindset to pray, pray, pray. Running all the errands ,it was sad to see the empty parking lots at so many restaurants. It is very sad but I think so many will permanently close and so many will lose their jobs. We are seeing it already and I feel there is only one solution, Give it up to God. The world is fading away already but Jesus is going to return. It is an exciting time. Grateful.

Culver's is my most favorite burger in the whole wide world and until covid-19 we were eating a Culver's Burger every other week and sometimes once a week and I have not had one since last February.

How I miss Culvers! Ya, I'm enormously saddened by all the small business closures and those circling the drain. Did you happen to watch Home Town (HGTV) last night? They're showing sneak peak portions of their work in neighboring Wetumpka; and now I'm wondering how these folks are surviving. You're right. In the end, all we can do is pray.
Thankful for YOU!

The Lite Brite will be fun, I always wanted one when I was little. No postcards anywhere around here. Amazon does sell them though.
