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]

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…

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…

Click here for more menu ideas! Last week was a blur of returning from New Orleans, having a new central heat and air system installed, a day trip to the city for monthly grocery shopping and just generally getting back into the groove. This week is a *little* less hectic but I do still have…

I knew it had to happen at some point. It turned chilly today with highs only in the 40s. But I made the best of it. Today I am thankful for rich, steaming hot cups of chocolate shared with my pirate in a warm and cosy house.

I am thankful for central heating and air conditioning. Our unit was close to 30 years old and we’d had a few repairs in recent years so we decided to replace it before it conked out at some inopportune moment — like during a heat wave or ice storm. David sought out two estimates, picked the…
