Saw this quote yesterday, and thought of our little thread!

Today's Topic (Sun, 5/5) - 3 things you can see right now that you're grateful for

 

[PollyannaMom]

My cat (grateful for both, but one happens to be sitting here right now)

My vacuum cleaner (grateful for labor-saving devices, and that we no longer have to take rugs outside and beat them!)

Family photos!! - right now I can see a favorite vacation photo of DS, one of two of our now grown-up nieces when they were about six and eight, and one of all six kids (those three plus three more cousins) at their grandparents' house - lined up on the sofa like stair steps.

God's gift to me of sight period. This new day He has made that I pray to rejoice, be glad, and kindly witness Him in.

Dad

Cup of water is a grace to have daily access to enough and that it is safe and clean.

I’m grateful I can see at all !!!

My Phone - using it to type this
My Car - it’s sitting in front of me
My House - well I’m in it
My Dog - should have named him Velcro
My Coffee - self explanatory

Good Sunday Morning

I am sitting in my kitchen as I post this…..

#1 - My IPad - I not only see it, but use it every day for everything. We have a computer, but it is ancient and in the basement. I actually have 2 tablets. This is my newest one and older one goes to gym with me and travels with me on trips.

#2 - Our TV - I love having a TV in the kitchen. My DH found a white one and he has it on a wall mount. So I can always watch the local news in the morning and when I’m making dinner.

#3 - Our Grill - I can see it outside when looking out the window. My in-laws gave it to us for Christmas one year. It’s a really nice grill and we use it often.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Not kidding I can’t make a move he’s right there - it’s like he’s so worried he will either miss something or be abandoned!!! I would think he would be exhausted from watching me constantly!!!

The dog- She’s currently giving me a dirty look because I stopped scratching her back to type this. I’m waiting for her to start vocally admonishing me.

The robot vacuum- I never quite learned how to program it and it sometimes skips spots even though it has thoroughly mapped the first floor, but it gets enough so I don’t have to.

The TV- Obviously, it’s entertainment, but it reminds me of Thanksgiving. It was Thanksgiving night of 2017 when our previous tv died. TV buying in the middle of impending Black Friday chaos isn’t something we planned. Still, around 9pm…still thoroughly stuffed from dinner, we found a Target deal online that wasn’t sold out and would be available for pick up at midnight. It was a drive thru pickup line, so zero craziness.

From what I can see right now...

Leafy trees outside.

My laptop!

A small black ceramic elephant (with a very happy expression) on the window ledge. It was a gift and has associated memories.

3 Things in front of me: (living room)

1. My iPad: I had a really old one, couldn’t do any updates and it was so limited. My DH kept bugging me to get a new one and I am very glad I did!

2. My walls are covered with photos, posters, drawings, WDW postcards, Mickey Mouse clock, and my piano is topped with cards and photos and there are music books from Bach to Disney songs. I am an ADHD person and very visual, so everything I love is pretty much always in front of me! (Clutter to some, precious to me, plus, if I don’t see something, it doesn’t exist!)

3. All the toys and stuffies that our DGD plays with every time she is here.

I'm in my living room, winding down for the night.

1. My DH - sitting next to me reading the paper
2. My laptop - I love it (almost as much as DH lol)
3. My piano - it was my grandma's and I was the only grandchild who played and didn't already have a piano, so I got it!

Family photos- Most of them are of DD, but there are also some of my mom, of me and my sister when we were young, and of my dear mother-in-law who passed away 5+ years ago and who I still miss every day.

My Nook- It's getting harder and harder to read at night as I get older and my eyes aren't as good. I wouldn't be able to read in bed at all if I didn't have my Nook.

My laptop- I don't have a cell phone, so my laptop is my gateway to the world.

Today's Topic (Mon, 5/6) - 3 indulgent foods you're grateful for

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups I’m a little to grateful on these
M&Ms - again too grateful
Chocolate- really just about any kind - Way too grateful I really have a problem
Coffee Ice cream
Chips - Lays potato chips reg & bar b q & Lime flavored taco chips - can’t keep my hands off them
Very grateful for all but rarely have any in the house because I like them so much I have zero will power and will just eat them up! I also try not to bake anything when my brain says hey a choc cake sounds delicious- I say yup fitting into my clothes sounds better have a glass of water and shut up !! Not the same

Happy Monday!

#1 - Blizzards or Cold Stone - We don’t get these often, but when we do, I love them

#2 - Pierogies - I can eat these until I want to burst. With DD20 coming home soon, I’ll be making them for dinner. She loves them too and I always tell her it’s because I ate them the night before she was born

#3 - Stuffed Pizza - Another thing that I can eat eat and eat until I can’t move, and another thing that we’ll have soon with DD20 coming home. We share a lot of the same food loves

Jell-O Instant Chocolate Fudge Pudding
Homemade Sugar Cookies

Dad enjoys every so often a variety of desserts

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Queso Flameado - We went out for a post softball/early Cinco de Mayo meal on Saturday. There's nothing quite like a flaming skillet of cheese and chorizo served with freshly made tortillas. I think DD17's boyfriend made a comment about cholesterol and artery clogging

Whataburger - Double meat with extra cheese, extra pickles, mayo instead of mustard, and nothing else on the burger along with a whatasized fries with a side of cream gravy. Greasy, fattening, and sooooooooooooo delicious!

Ischler - It is literally the most decadent cookie I have ever consumed. We were walking around Salzburg and we passed a bakery window full of treats. I saw this cookie and determined I needed it. I can't make them at home due to DD17s allergies, but it's two almond shortbread cookies, apricot filling, covered in chocolate, and topped with slivered or chopped almonds.
