Month of Gratitude: day 10

Gladiola, the woman who helped my parents take care of me and my siblings, as well as taking care of my parents and house too for 23 yrs...for teaching me how to sew when I was a kid. Now I am able to mend clothes (like A's coat instead of buying a new one) and create other things to wear.

Month of Gratitude: day 9

My picture refused to download (all three times) I tried to, yesterday...

Sweet recipes that let you hide veggies like carrots and zucchini. It has a different texture than most zucchini breads but it's tasty.

Month of Gratitude: day 8

Definitely not a fancy dinner but candle light is nice. D's idea.  Made dinner even better. Boy, three little candles put off lots of light. I was afraid that A would complain "It's too dark. It makes me sad." But he didn't. Yahoo! We actually eat by candlelight. Fun!

Month of Gratitude: day 7

I can't leave my other son's picture out. He made it into the district's art show 4 yrs ago. And he never thought he was good at art. "Frank Lloyd Wright's Flowers." He has actually made a more impressive  piece of artwork that I framed, but I can't take a picture of it, it has too much of a glare...Andy Worhol style portrait but of himself...Fantastic!

Month of Gratitude: day 6

My son's (actually both not just this one's) art work. This particular piece made it into the school district's art show at a local museum. When I told D that I was going to frame it (I was proud of him) he got a huge smile "Really?"..."Yes, really."

Month of Gratitiude

A day of gratitude is going to come once a week it seems...

day 2:

Family outings! (Chimney Bluffs State Park, NY- this particular place reminds us that the world around us is constantly changing) We love going on adventures hiking! P.S. The matching shirts weren't noticed until the boys hit the car...sorry, too late to change.

-------------------------------------------------------

day 3:

Goofiness that comes with my boys...it helps me smile.

-------------------------------------------------------

day 4:

Waterfalls...natural or man-made. I can watch them for hours. This one is man-made and at Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, NY (another adventure).

-----------------------------------------------

day 5:

Knowing  that my friend Angela's son is going to love and enjoy playing with this hand-me-down (that took my youngest son until he was 11 years old to finally be ready to let go) as much as we all did. 

Just spotted this today...

from Polka Dot Cottage

I'm going to try doing it...Everyday I'll just show a picture for things I'm thankful for. Just so you know...these are in no particular order. They are just what happens to make me feel good the day that I post.

Starting today...

My boys! (All three of them.)
