Thankful!

 

I am thankful for:

Row 2. My husband's successful hand surgery. Swimming at the new city rec center. Visiting my sister in her new home in Waco. Enjoying the Yamberee with my grandkids Annie and Wyatt. My Aunt Karen teaches me to sew. We go hiking with g-grandaughter Lucy.

Row 3. The International Quilt Festival. Making tie-dyed shirts with family. 50th anniversary party for friends Mac and Karen. Surprise 50th anniversary party for family/friends Linda and Tony. First sighting of a Vermillion Flycatcher. Bigfoot water toy with Annie and Wyatt. Celebrating birthdays with the Breakfast Mamas.

Row 4. Readalong in French. Spending time with my Galveston friends Cindy and Lori. The full moon. Lucy's second birthday. Inprint author reading with Richard Powers. Butterflies of Camp Mohawk 'zine. Christmas Bird Count.

Row 5. OLLI writing class. First time I saw an owl. My Chicago family. Jazz concert at Rae's Reads. Annie plays basketball.

Row 6. Vegetables from our garden. Whooping cranes on a birding outing to the mid-Texas Gulf Coast. Hurricane Beryl spares us. Baby Pileated Woodpeckers in our sycamore tree. Celebrating Black History Month with picture books. Learning to care for sea turtles with our friends Mac and Karen at Padre Island National Seashore.

“I think that (giving thanks) is one of the most important things that there is. 'Eucharisteo' in Greek is 'thanksgiving.”

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
