Modern Conveniences

TV remote controls.

Detergent sheets (I'm a convert!) ...And washing machines, of course.

While we're on the subject, dishwashers.

My car. I love that feeling, after traipsing round shops and carrying shopping (all of which I do appreciate, too) - anyway, I love that feeling of putting everything down, sitting myself down, shutting the doors and breathing out. Anyone know what I mean?

Laptops and Bluetooth

The ability to shuffle music playlists. Although, there was something special about mix tapes, too!

Ready-made puff pastry!!!!

Fries

Fries deserve special mention all their own, don't they?!

 

[Tink-osophy]

Great minds!

Great minds think alike

I typed that with mostly a straight face

We even think alike about thinking alike!!

Being able to DVR a show while watching another previously DVR-ed movie, is an extra blessing that dad and I learned we are able to do today. As and FYI to any Price is Right fans, CBS is airing tonight at 8 a special 4th of July themed episode. We have it to record while we will watch more of A Grown-Up Christmas List, a Hallmark movie we are enjoying.

Four Things:
1. On this 4th of July I am grateful for our country—a lot of crazy in these last years, but still feel blessed to live here.
2. I am happy that our weather has improved—starting to feel like summer.
3. We have a vacation coming up and that is something to look forward to.
4. Oldest DD is getting starting to move out of her college apartment and into her graduate school apartment. She will be closer to home with this move.

Always grateful to be a U.S. citizen
Grateful for our troops - past & present - true heroes
Grateful for my job - it drives me crazy at times - but it pays my bills & I have a very generous boss who does not micro manage - hard to find one of those - he can be a bit demanding just sayin
I’m always grateful for my friends I have an extremely dysfunctional family so my friends mean the World to me and I’m grateful for every one of them
I’m grateful for my blessing and try to remember daily to do this as it could always be so much worse !!

Have a wonderful safe 4th everyone !!!

 

[PollyannaMom]

. for family traditions & memories,
. for the independence of being an introvert, and
that the weather is supposed to clear up for fireworks tonight!

Happy 4th American DIS Friends!

#1 - I’m grateful to our founding fathers for having the courage and perseverance to lead us to become a free and independent nation.

#2 - I’m grateful for our first military of men, that had very little, to stand up and fight, and give their lives, to make us a free and independent nation.

#3 - I’m grateful for the brave men and women in our military today to keep our nation safe, so we remain a free and independent nation.

#4 - I’m grateful for our beautiful flag, that we have raised every day, to show our love for this country - land of the free and home of the brave!

4th of July

1. Like @slo We fly the flag every day. Even when it got destroyed in the storm a few weeks ago, Amazon brought a new one the next day.
2. Of course our military. Someone had something negative to say about @Imzadi 's Lee Greenwood post. IMO no matter how you feel in the country today, his song means a lot to honor our military.
3. To live where I can worship Jesus
4. Hot dogs, fireworks, and sparklers.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

To live, I pray, in a way that is worshipping Jesus. The safety to do so along with right mind and health.

Grateful extra today to all who have or serving our country and their familes. Thank you. God Bless You!

Hallmark Christmas movies that are both faith and Patriotic based because they inspire me to indeed send Christmas cards to some military folks this year.

Memories of my grandma and friend Shirley, both very Patriotic and feisty, loving ladies.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

I'm grateful for all of you! Everyone's posts today are excellent, and the things I was going to say have already been said here:
Founding Fathers
Freedom
Independence

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I saw that negative post and frankly I was shocked - just my opinion but people don’t realize how lucky we are to live in a country with the freedoms we have it’s not perfect, but nothing is we don’t have to worry about things other people in other countries have to worry about on a daily basis I value my freedom, I treasure it, and I thank God for it on a daily basis I don’t take it lightly and I consider it a treasured gift again this is just my opinion
