This week, I am thankful:
that we are halfway through the spring semester
I am enjoying my biology class and lab, but those two classes are definitely eating up a lot of my time. So I’m glad to be halfway through.
that I’m doing well in my classes
I had some trepidation about this after such a long college break, so I’m thankful it turns out I can still keep up with all the young people. 
that my lab professor is so lovely
She has such enthusiasm for her subject, which makes her a very engaging teacher.
Also, she does a very good job of teaching online (and online teaching is a special art!)
that Sonia and I can laugh together about funny things in class
One of our lab classmates is always doing something unpredictable in class…like, two weeks ago, he was at the gym, riding a stationary bike and then walking on a treadmill, and the sight of him bouncing up and down in the camera was so funny.
You’d have to see it to appreciate it, which is why it’s fun to have Sonia in class with me…she did see it!
for promised sun
Our yard was SO soggy yesterday from all the rain. But the forecast promises a bunch of sun in the next week.
that there are buds everywhere
The world is going to be green soon! And I am excited about that.
that Sonia’s spring allergies are not as bad now
She’s been getting allergy shots for the last few years and that has definitely eased her spring allergy symptoms.
that I’m going to be able to go to my brother’s wedding in Boston
He’s getting married in June, and when he first got engaged, I wondered what the traveling situation would be like. But I’m definitely going to be able to go, and Mr. FG should be vaccinated by then as well.
that this spring feels so much more cheerful
I know I said this in previous Thankful Thursday post, but it bears repeating:
as I see the signs of spring in the world, I keep remembering back to last year at this time and I keep thinking how glad I am to be in the spring of 2021 vs the spring of 2020.
for Zoe’s hugs
She gives me very sincere hugs and I really like that!
that Sonia will be able to get her driver’s license soon
This process has taken much longer than it would under normal circumstances, but in May, she’s finally scheduled for a test. Yay!
for funny cats each week at the shelter
Sonia and I always find ourselves laughing at their antics. The really vocal cats especially crack us up.
for a good night’s sleep
I was really, really tired when I went to bed last night, and I slept like a rock.
Thinking back to the years when my kids were little and I was up at night a lot really makes me appreciate the fact that I get to sleep without interruptions now!
And now I have to run to my online biology class.
Linda says
Spring has spring in WA and I’m noticing every little change.
Mountain views from my porch that lift me up if I’m feeling discouraged.
My 2nd Covid shot courtesy of a lovely pharmacist who called me when they had a cancelled appointment. Moving state between the 1st and 2nd shots complicated things and this pharmacist really helped me out.
The gf vegan birthday cake I made for my adult daughter smells and looks edible!
Being able to celebrate my daughter’s birthday in person instead of from thousands of miles away.
Mary says
This morning is in the 30’s; it will be warmer than usual to walk the dogs. Our 22 month old labradane is starting to calm down – baby steps, right. There are a few signs of spring here, some crocuses are blooming. We have been watching more AARP free videos and learning lots.
Madeline says
A few unexpected events made the week awesome! We received a rebate from our health insurance company from 2017! Long story about the fact that they did not meet federal guidelines for payment on people’s claims and so they had to refund all policy holders a % of premiums paid! A nice surprise. And our car needs new tires soon,so……
We also got bumped to head of the wait list for a small plot in our community garden ! Yippee! I was thinking I might have to wait up to 6 months! We start May 1!!!
Am several weeks past SECOND SHOT and so I am able to meet with my 3 card playing buddies again, and also my art studio group. (Small group) Yay!
I am grateful for the warmth, the sun, and my back yard where I can relax and read, plan my garden, and listen to the waterfall. This past year has brought us all back home in a big way..though I ALWAYS spend a lot of time in my own backyard,I have a new appreciation for just how well this house warms my Soul and provides safety and security for me and my husband.
Grateful for family coming on Easter.
Ruth says
Oh, Thankful Thursday!
1. My forsythia bush is blooming – its yellow is nearly fluorescent!
2. We’ve found THREE buckeye tree seedlings in our yard this week. We lost our buckeye tree last year in a storm – basically a tornado that did NOT touch down, but took out our tree and our neighbors’ tree at the same time. We searched the yard last summer and found ONE seedling that I transplanted into our garden for safekeeping, and rabbits promptly nibbled it to the ground, so we’re glad to have found some replacement babies from our old tree.
3. That Man’s knee appears to NOT have any more infection in it (after 2 years of fighting it).
4. We both have had our first COVID vaccinations.
5. We found out just today that we are getting a tax refund!
Tina says
This is our Spring Break and I’ve had 1 kid get his wisdom teeth out and I got a bad cold. BUT, for the fisrt year every, our co-school is taking 2 weeks off, so I don’t have to feel we “wasted” the whole week, we still have next week. My younger two keep doing chores for more game time. While I don’t like all game time, the house is way cleaner then it usually is when I’m sick. Our furnace went out and again, while not ideal (its gettting down in the mid-20s right now in Indy & our house has been at 57 all day), the part is coming in the mail tomorrow and my husband can fix it, and it’ll be warming up. I’m SUPER thankful it didn’t go out in our super cold few weeks of winter.
Ruth says
I live in Noblesville – hi neighbor! It was SO COLD lat night; I hope you were warm enough.
Jenn says
1) long days with lots of sun, even when the temps are chilly
2) I signed up for a CSA which starts in 5 weeks- yay for healthy produce and supporting a local farmer
3) a day off home alone- my husband has returned to working at his office
4) we are both fully vaccinated
5) because of that we will have Easter dinner with his sister and her husband
Brittany says
I get my second dose of the vaccine tomorrow bc I was able to get my first from a no waste list at work. Our state is opening the vaccine up to everyone Wednesday and I was able to sign hubby up for his first dose for Wednesday
Lisa says
I’m not feeling very thankful today, so I came back to post what I’m thankful for.
I’m thankful that my 6yo watches really boring youtube videos. Seriously, it is so monotone and uninteresting, I can take a nap and there will not be loud noises waking me up. haha
I am thankful for a good day at work today. We were short staffed, but my team pulled together and did an amazing job! I am so proud of them!
I am thankful for my 6yo. He is so stinkin sweet! He “makes” my bed every night before I go to bed, tucks me in, and kisses my forehead when he catches me sleeping. My bedtime is earlier than his 90% of the time.
I’m not sure I’m thankful for this one, but I have been enjoying the discovery+ streaming channel. It gives me a wide variety of shows to watch when I want to.
I am thankful for the local library. I have mentioned this in the past, but I contacted them about 6 weeks ago and asked for help finding books that are the right reading level for my 6yo. It has helped me so much, and every time I place any reservations for books, they add about 10 books for him!
Elizabeth H. says
I am thankful for God’s love and his son, Jesus’, sacrifice. I am thankful for his Spirit which comforts and his word, the Bible which teaches us. I am thankful for Good Friday and Easter.
I am thankful for family: our children, grandchildren (whom we adore) and extended family (some we have not seen in a very long time).
I am thankful that my husband and I were able to receive our first jab.
I am thankful for this blog. Honestly, I think I learn at least one new thing every time I read it.
I am thankful that the next several days are supposed to be a bit cooler.
I am thankful for a sense of humor and friends and family that also have a sense of humor.
Colleen says
That my youngest daughter is cancer free right now.
Her doctor has been wonderful&never hesitates to answer questions.
Our state is opening covid shots to all on April 12 so all my family can get them
That my family cares enough about my health issues they restricted their actions so they could see me
My youngest can get the shot.
My granddaughter wants to be an active part of our life.
Sarah G says
1. The little plants in my window sill. And the bigger ones that sit on the floor. They are so cheerful I feel happy when I look at them.
2. The homemade split pea soup and pickled eggs my mom brought us the other day. She makes pickled eggs every April and it doesn’t feel like spring without them!!
3. For this week, the days leading up to good Friday and resurrection Sunday and all the significance it holds. Each year I am more thankful for Jesus
4. This snowstorm we’re currently having… it makes me look forward to Springtime blossoms and family walks without coats!
5. For tomorrow’s plan to take my mom out to a tea house for her birthday… I’m bringing my two oldest girls also so it should be really fun.
Bee says
Happy Spring!
I am thankful for spring and the joy comes from beginning anew. This year especially. I am thankful for the beautiful flowers that are blooming everywhere, the cool breezes,and the sweet song of the birds in my garden.
I am also so grateful to be able to be able to attend sunrise service at the beach on Easter morning.There are few things as moving as watching the sunrise over the Atlantic on Easter morning, and I have done so every Easter in memory. Last year, I snuck down to the beach to watch the sunrise and hid from the police who were patrolling the beach.
I am looking forward to celebrating endings and new beginning.
Sarah G says
Enjoy your sunrise service! Love your story about last Easter morning
Karen says
1. Exterior paint project on our house is paid for with tax refund and it looks bright and fresh.
2. Lavender scented hand sanitizer/spray. So delightful!
3. Cozy couch day with nothing to do!!
4. Seedlings started in the sunroom reminds me of the promise of spring.
5. Many more friends and family are getting the “jab”. Daughter scheduled for Monday!
If we can all just hold on a little longer—keep up with protocols we will get to the other side.
Natalie J says
I’m actually grateful that my husband is unemployed right now. It was a high stress work environment, so it’s good that he has an opportunity to look for something else. Between the last stimulus check and our tax return, we can go for a while without touching our savings (which we have a fair amount of), so he can look without feeling pressured. It’s spring break at my school right now (I’m a teacher), and I’m potty training our toddler. Him being home right now means I don’t have to it by myself, which makes it a lot easier on me.
Sarah G says
Good thoughts to you on potty training… hope it’s smooth sailing for you! I just potty trained our third child it’s my least favorite part of toddlerhood! Only one more child to go!
Deb says
I just got the first dose of Pfizer and have my 82 y.o. dad signed up for tomorrow. He could have gotten it much sooner, but that is the story of my life. 1. New idea that is great for my elderly parents, 2. convincing them it is a great idea, 3. actually implementing the great idea. Having my brother come last weekend still alive and kicking after getting the Moderna vaccine helped!
Spring time. Hydrangeas, gerbera daisies and impatiens all blooming!
My brother, I have mentioned him before but he just came down for my mom’s birthday and we planned out how to surprise her and everything went perfect. SOO thankful for him and the peace of knowing that when this situation gets to be too much, he will be here in a heartbeat and we will work well together!
My parents’ neighbors. They live about 40 minutes from me and we were all getting out of cars and getting my mom in the house on Saturday and two of their neighbors stopped by with cards for her birthday. It was just so sweet that they knew it was her birthday.
Also, my parents went back to church 2 weeks ago for the first time in a year and one of my mom’s friends started clapping when she saw her. There is just something about seeing people in person after this crazy quarantine. So, I am thankful for that little blessing for my mom as her life with her disease is so difficult…………
Kaitlin says
How beautiful that your mom’s friends rejoiced so much to see her back in church! That made me smile so big for her!
Rebekah in SoCal says
1. Zion Canyon Shuttle tickets! These are hard to get but we now have the final piece in place for our Zion trip.
2. Spring weather and sunshine.
3. Spring flowers even if they do give me allergies. The return of beauty is so refreshing.
4. My husband’s office announced bonuses for employees who get vaccinated.
5. Baseball is starting. Our favorite team has strong potential this year.
Michelle says
I am thankful that myself and my fiance are getting our 1ts fauchi ouchi tomorrow! My son is 16 and our county hasn’t ordered the pfizer one for some reason, so we are still waiting. I am thankful for warmer days but still cold nights to snuggle in bed. I am looking forward to planting some new shrubs in back because our tree had to be taken down and it’s empty there now.
K D says
1. For this exercise since I’ve been feeling some Covid fatigue this week. Hopefully by early May is will be safe for me to do more.
2. For peak yellow the past several days, daffodils and forsythia have been gorgeous.
3. For enough warmth for outdoor yoga earlier this week.
4. That more relatives are eligible for Covid-19 vaccines in other states and my friend in Toronto received her first dose the other day.
5. For the internet. It’s amazing what you can do with your phone/tablet/computer.
6. The abundance of healthy food available. When I was a kid you could not buy just about any produce year round. Also that there is so much organic food available and sometimes it is not much more expensive than non-organic. Despite some food sensitivities there is plenty to eat.
Kristen says
I was thinking the other day about how winter tomatoes are much better now than they were when I was a kid. We had these mealy, pale red tomatoes in our winter salads and they were just not very good!
Annie says
1. My husband and I are due to get vaccine #2 on Monday. We are prepared to not feel well with broth, crackers, applesauce, and Netflix just in case. Hopefully any reaction will be mild to none and we will be able to tough it out together.
2. The sun will be out soon. It’s been dreary lately and today I feel a little grumpy without the sunshine, but that will change soon.
3. There are new blooms on my kalanchoe!
4. Entenmann’s Hot Cross Buns. To me they are the best and each year I buy them early and freeze them to enjoy during Holy Week.
5. The scent of lavender. It’s so soothing and calming.
LDA says
Thankful –
That we are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 now.
That it is opening day for baseball!
That I’ve been able to save $$$ on necessary, big ticket purchases.
That I’ll be able to attend Easter Mass this year!
That I have modern appliances to do the heavy work for me as I’m getting older.
That even though we’ve had some snow flurries today, it’s only temporary- everything is still beginning to bud!
That I get a “stay at home” day today. The previous 3 days have been full of errands & appointments.
Jackie says
So glad you will get to go to your brothers wedding. I went to my brothers retirement ceremony in February. We had to fly since it was in Virginia and the majority of us live in South Dakota. I had already had covid back in November and was vaccinated in January. So that worked out perfect. All of my siblings were able to go. So glad I have my health and the journey was relatively easy.
It’s a good reminder to myself to keep up with my health, so I will be able to take trips like this.
Jackie says
I should have commented that my brother retired from the Air Force! So glad he was able to serve twenty years. Now he has the rest of his life ahead of him:)
Kaitlin says
Thankful Thursday is much needed for me this week. We received some difficult news today, that makes us feel further isolated in a time when much of the world is able to be out and about more freely. So I’m strengthening my Thankfulness muscles today, because sorrow and thankfulness can comingle:
1) The sun is warm today, with some cool air, making a perfect day outside.
2) I’m thankful that my kids love each other so much. They bring me so much joy as they play with each other and serve each other (and squabble with each other, too. We’re all still learning!)
3) Our house sold after 2 days of showings. We even got 4 offers over asking price, and there was hardly any stress involved. I didn’t know selling a house could be like that.
4) The trees are goldish green, reminding of Robert Frost’s poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” I love Frost’s poetry. There aren’t many days as beautiful as early spring when color appears out of what was dead and ugly.
Kristen says
Oh man, I’m so sorry to hear that you have to isolate more!
So glad your house sale was easy.
Angie says
Thankful this week….
1. That I get my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and my husband got his first dose last week. We will both be done by end of April and since my husband is diabetic and has only one kidney AND is a frontline worker… I am incredibly grateful for this.
2. Easter. Celebrations may not look exactly like they have in the past BUT this year looks much better than last year. Great God in heaven – HE.IS.RISEN.
3. That we have a safe, warm home, clothes on our backs, food in our bellies and we are healthy. For so many others this is not the case.
4. For the wisdom and provision to change the way that I take care of myself and look at better ways to manage stress.
5. For hope.
Kristen says
Oh, wonderful! I got the Pfizer vaccine as well.
Melinda & 3 boys says
* I’m thankful to be home in Colorado after a month living with my mother-in-law (who is wonderful, but it’s still not home!) after the death of my father-in-law.
* I’m thankful for my sister-in-law and family who live close to my MIL to help her while we’re across the country.
* I’m thankful for Beverly Clearly audio books from the library (yay for Hoopla and library card!) to listen to on our 22 hours across the country.
* I’m thankful for a friend who volunteered to pick up milk and eggs for us to be ready in our fridge when we got home.
* I’m thankful for another friend who dropped off bags of groceries and that we can share some with other friends who need them too.
* And I’m thankful that I know my messy house will *someday* be clean….
Sarah G says
Do you mean specifically the Ramona audiobooks (performed by Stockard Channing)? My kids love those! We listen to them on hoopla a lot, even on short trips… Beezus and Ramona is their favorite! We should probably have a listen to her other titles also.
Beverly says
1. My son got his first shot of the Covid vaccine. By the end of next month, everyone in my family will all be fully vaccinated.
2. The rain has stopped and it is supposed to be sunny and 70 for Easter Sunday
3. Spring flowers are blooming. The yellow rose of Texas bush in our yard is showing out with its blooms
4. We have good home owner’s insurance. The estimate to replace our flooring damaged by the leaking water line to the ice maker came in at over $14,000 but we’ll only have to pay our deductible.
5. My weekly Pilates Zoom class with my best friend that is taught by her niece. Love that someone a 1000 miles away can effectively teach the class and correct our form.
Battra92 says
I’m sorry that you have to go to Boston. Better you than me.
Let’s see, what I’m thankful for this week:
* That I got Shot #1 of Moderna. It was … not pleasant. Yesterday I was quite sick, fatigued, I had a headache and just couldn’t really think straight. Also, I was barely able to use my arm.
* That getting the vax is much more preferable than to being sick for weeks on end, even with the side effects. I did learn my lesson though and took off the day after Shot #2 because I should not have been working yesterday.
* That my grandmother had no real side effects to Pfizer shot #1.
* That despite some of the downsides (I find it hard to stop and take lunch for example) working from home one day a week isn’t all that bad. I can get a lot done when I reduce the walk in traffic to my desk.
* That Easter this year looks much less grim than last year did, even though there are still a lot of things in the world I don’t like and still can’t change.
Marjie says
This isn’t really a thankful thing, but is that a real citrus plant in the background?? I used to live in California and absolutely love citrus trees…something I miss dreadfully in the midwest. I have dreams of growing a plant indoors!
Kristen says
Yep! It’s a mini orange tree. I just keep it inside during the winter because it’s too cold here for citrus in the winter. It looks really pretty with the oranges on it, but unfortunately, the oranges are SUPER duper sour.
So it’s mainly decorative.
Rose says
My grandmother used to have one and I used to very stealthily eat the oranges. I love very sour things.
It’s funny how furtive my childhood was. If anyone knew I was eating the oranges, I’d’ve been yelled at. For what, I’m not sure, except not behaving like everyone else, as usual.
Kristen says
If only you lived near me! You could eat all my oranges.
Jean says
You can use those small, sour oranges to make sour orange pie or tarts (like key lime pie). There are good recipes and a YouTube video that you cam access. It is a Florida “thing”.
Ruby says
This morning I am grateful for a long weekend, hot coffee, a comfy spot by the fire on a bright but cold morning, our two smaller dogs who are such cuddle bugs, and my sweet, smart husband who drilled a replacement connector to fit so that repairing the pot-filler sprayer at our kitchen sink did not require replacing the entire unit.
kristin @ going country says
–For the many friends and neighbors who are helping my sister and niece out right now while they deal with the millions of details involved with an unexpected death (my brother-in-law died of a heart attak at 49 years old). I can’t be there to make sure they’re eating and so on, but they have neighbors doing that, as well as helping her with lawn care, selling my BiL’s truck, and on and on. So thankful for all these people that I have never met.
–For the fact that my sister had already scheduled a trip to Arizona to see a friend who is dying of cancer, and she decided to make the trip still. I can meet her there at my parents’ house, as will my brother, and so my entire (childhood) family will be together. For a terrible reason, but still thankful we can do this.
–For the sprouting spinach and snow peas and radishes. And I have a daffodil opening. Plants in spring never fail to bring me joy.
–For the cook at my sons’ school. She used to be a restaurant cook, and because of the very small size of the school, she makes everything herself. This week they had smoked brisket, chicken enchiladas, blueberry cobbler . . . They eat way better lunches at school than I would pack for them. That was not the case at their last school, so I am grateful every school day for the fact that they get such healthy and delicious food that I do not have to make.
Kristen says
I’m sure that it must be such a comfort to you to know that there are people taking care of your sister and niece.
Kris says
Kristin, those are the situations that leave me with no words. I just prayed for your sister and niece and you as you support her.
Melinda & 3 boys says
This is hard… I just returned home from helping through the details of a death that we had a week’s notice for. And that was hard enough…. trying to figure out how to deal with all the memorial service and burial details and then followed by the legal and financial and ownership details.
My heart is heavy for you and for your family.
Kaitlin says
I’m so sorry you can’t be near your sister and niece right now. I stopped to pray for your family after reading this.
kristin @ going country says
Thanks, everyone.
JD says
That’s so wonderful, that you get to go to your brother’s wedding! I know you will really enjoy that.
It struck me last night, as my husband ate tacos and I ate a “taco salad” (w/o tomatoes or salsa, so not very taco-y, really), that on my plate I had lettuce and raw spinach, with raw carrots on the side, all from my container garden, and a handful of brined black olives from our very own olive tree. I felt thankful that a lot of what I was eating was from our own yard.
I’m thankful for our recent rain – not too much, but a good amount. We had actually been dry recently.
I’m thankful that my oldest sister got her last Covid vaccine yesterday — somehow she was the last one of us siblings and spouses to get it – and she is having pretty much zero reaction.
Thankful for my uncle’s return home, in good shape, from a hospital visit for some heart irregularities. He’s in his 90’s, but still active. They have him on a medication now, that is really helping.
I’m grateful to my young male co-workers who cheerfully volunteered to do the muscle work of moving my heavy, big 1980’s computer station, helping me re-arrange my office, then climbed under the station to unplug, organize and re-plug the rat’s nest of cords under it. My office looks and feels better.
I’m thankful for the in-person Easter services we will have this Sunday. We’ve been in-person for months, now, but we were streaming-only, last Easter.
Kris says
Thankful for …. gorgeous weather predicted for this weekend! Which leads to thankfulness that we are traveling to see my in-laws. It’s been 1 1/2 years since we have seen them and I think we are all anxious for the simple joy of catching up in person. My BIL’s family is coming on Sunday and good weather means we can do our visiting outside and remove the masks for a bit!
I had two humble thankful events on Saturday–it was my first day back at work since my mom passed, and my coworkers planned a surprise potluck to cheer me up. I cried, but it was tears of gratitude. While at work, I got a phone message from a local florist saying there was a package on my doorstep–turns out, a dear friend sent me a beautiful spring bouquet. I am continually amazed at people’s thoughtfulness and creative ways of supporting me (and hope that I can do the same for someone else in need).
JD says
Kris, that was so sweet of them to do that for you after your mom’s passing! I remember a wonderful co-worker who paid the boarding bill for our pets; they had been boarded for a whole week while we were gone back home to my parents’ funeral. Like you, I was touched to tears. I truly believe such kind acts help us heal.
All these years later, I’m still thankful.
Kris says
I also would have been touched to tears. I’m more of a deliver-a-meal kind of supporter but I hope I can start thinking out of the box more in the future. Really, though, any act of support is healing for me. I know that it comes from a place of love.
Melinda & 3 boys says
This act of kindness made my heart smile with you. Thank you for sharing it. It’s amazing how the little and big things can encourage our spirits at times like that.
CrunchyCake says
1. For the glorious weather outside
2. That my dad was successful is selling his business, despite the pandemic environment. He’s finally retiring at 75 and my mom said that this is most relaxed she’s seen him in their 50 years of marriage. He’s worked really hard and I’m happy he can now spend his time as he wishes.
3. That my daughter is worthy of the award she received for being “most inspirational” on her team. She earned it and I am so proud of her.
4. That a good friend’s cancer treatment seems to have worked. She’s had a hellish couple years and I’m so thankful that she is making her way through this. Her diagnosis prompted another friend to get a mammogram and catch her cancer diagnosis early. It’s been scary to have two close friends with breast cancer but it makes me so thankful for my health and for science and for the doctors/nurses/techs who put the science in action.
5. For Beverly Cleary and her books. I loved them as a child and have been delighted so see my younger daughter reading them over and over again. Sad news of her passing last week but so thankful for her impact on children’s lit.
Melinda & 3 boys says
We’ve been reading through the Beverly Cleary books this week! And listening to them. My husband had never read/heard any, so it was fun to hear him laughing at the book _Socks_ as we crossed the country on a road trip last week. Such classics!
Sarah G says
Oh I hadn’t heard she had passed away! Sad news. I loved her books when I was growing up and now I read them with my kids! Her characters’ personalities and feelings were so relatable and she portrayed kids’ feelings so accurately!
Heidi Louise says
Yes, good teachers are a joy! And teaching online calls for special skills.
For all the wonderful signs of spring.
For my husband’s patience.
For my sister’s phone calls.
For my son’s sense of humor.
For the ten years of miracles that were my great-niece’s life. Over a thousand people followed her last surgery journey on facebook. Thankful for the overwhelming support her family has received.
For (a different!) great-niece’s birth this week.
For online communities such as this one. Thank you!
Jenelle says
1. Thankful I was able to get my 2nd dose yesterday and today I’m only having some muscle soreness. I’ve heard people with much worse reactions. It’s very strange but my lower half of my body is what’s sore. I feel like I went horseback riding!
2. that my parents are coming to visit for Easter. We haven’t seen them since Labor Day! They are making the trip to stay with us for the long weekend.
3. that my hubby has jumped on board the idea that he can also start taking pictures of items to sell on Ebay. Maybe if we double the number of posted items per day we can double our money??
4. that my daughter won the monthly “Pawsome” award at her school.
5. that my sister has a GPS tracker on my mom’s cell phone. She can now watch where they are all day as they travel. (Trust me with their ages and my dad’s dementia, it’s needed)
