Thankfulness Randomly

Of course I am grateful for my little boys, especially when they get my heart pumping.
Having them close enough to play with often is definitely something I am so grateful for.
Having supportive parents is appreciated to epic heights.
I enjoy the relationship my daughters are enjoying with their grandparents and their cousins.

I appreciate the strong young man here.  I haven't enjoyed church meetings as much as this last week when I heard TJ and Nate speak.  What a great spiritual feast.
It's great to have Nate back.
I am very grateful for a sister that has made me a better person.  She taught me to quilt, something that has given me great joy.  She has taken in a son and treated him as her own.  She feeds and cares for my college kids so well that I'm surprised they ever want to come home.  
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Smile, Random Thoughts


All our kids have played or just sat in the fireplace.  What makes this different?  We just sat and watched him.


He even helped in the cleanup.  Well, sort of.
How can you not be happy looking at such cute little guys.
There is a tree in our backyard that is a brilliant red.  I 'm not sure you can get the full effect of its brilliant redness in this picture, so trust me it is red.  I love sitting in the kitchen at the table looking at the yellow leaves of the birch tree and as I turn to the left there is this bright red tree.  It's absolutely beautiful and just leaves a great feeling inside.
