Tonight while we were watching tv and enjoying hot-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies and coffee, David’s fire pager went off. We have a neighbor down the road who is diabetic and requires assistance fairly often. David had put in a very long day and was finally getting a chance to relax but he didn’t hesitate. He…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 20
I had a few errands to run today including a stop at the grocery store for the last items needed for Thanksgiving. I had seen people on Facebook complaining about how busy it was at Walmart. I never shop there but I wasn’t sure what it would be like at the grocery store where I…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 19
David and I watched Part I of “The Dust Bowl” tonight and while I thought I knew a lot about that time period, I was still struck by just how disheartening it must have been. I remember my grandmother telling me about how the dust seeped into the houses despite all their efforts to keep…

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 18

Now we are watching our friends performing at the Tropical Isle via webcam. Everyone needs a day like this once in awhile and it’s especially nice if you can…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 16
I forgot to do this earlier but since we are out, how about this? I am thankful for live music, even in little ol’ Ada. We are enjoying the music of Mandala tonight. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 15
This evening I went to the monthly board meeting of our area homeless services organization. I noticed a sign on our office door which advised that we are out of funds for the rest of the month. It’s the 15th. Thanksgiving is next week. Two weeks and a holiday during which time we have no…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 14
It’s been a long and busy day so this will be short. Today I am thankful for our church choir. We had rehearsal tonight and once again I was reminded of how much it means to me not only to have the opportunity to sing in a choir but to do so with people who…
