[newski_mom]

Scents:

1. DD1 loves candles, so I love gifting them to her and getting them from her!
2. Fresh baked cookies
3. Christmas trees!

ok @newski_mom, I freely admit when I am clueless here on the boards and this is one of them. Here in the PNW we are big on the sourdough rounds for clam chowder and some other dips but not Rye rounds and dill. But remember I am a guy and may not be really observant when doing the grocery shopping.

I will do some more research and give this a go!

I'm from the midwest and I would love your sourdough rounds with clam chowder!!

My favorite is from Duke's Seafood Restaurants. There a few other restaurants that have been around for decades which are also really good. Might be available online

Fresh air is a blessing indeed! I admit to not being a candle person except on Christmas Eve at worship service.

I meant to share in this lovely thread earlier that through tomorrow Target Circle has an offer for 10% off Target Store Gift Cards. Dad and I purchased two as Christmas gifts online so they can be bought on Target.com just know it could take a bit to come. Target said ours will come by December 13th.

Sweet Dreams friends with love.

I think we've done red and yellow lately, so let's continue with colors:

Today's Topic (Sun, 12/3) - 3 green things you're grateful for

 

[slo]

Good Sunday Morning!

#1 - I’m grateful for my GREEN Christmas trees - I love everything about them.

#2 - I’m grateful for getting the GREEN light when driving, especially in the morning - I always feel like the day starts off good when I get only green lights driving to work.

#3 - I’m grateful for GREEN cash - I try to always carry cash with me and every time I use it, I’m very grateful for it. I try to pay for every thing $10 or less with cash and I like giving servers a cash tip.

Green Grass - I really like a lush green lawn I don’t have one because I have a dog I will never have one unless I get rid of the dog and that’s not gonna happen no matter what I do to the grass whatever my dog does overrides it so I just gave up plus I have the pesky deer and they do plenty in my yard they’re constantly making ruts with their little hoofs So I’m happy if I have any grass at all !! The weed do just fine - nothing kills them ! At least they’re green!

Blue spruce - my most favorite evergreen trees I could plan a forest of those in my yard are my favorite trees

I’m gonna say cash - it’s something you never have enough of !! It’s very elusive it’s slippery it’s almost falling through your fingers it’s hard to hold onto I think they must grease it that’s why you can never keep a grasp it on it - DISNEY seems to have found a way to part you from it make you feel happy about doing it !!

especially Evergreen
Green has always been a very favorite color of mine. I am blessed to have two healthy green (hazel) eyes.
Green thermos that keeps water cold.

*sneaks in and waves* Hi. I'm Allison Joy....

Yes, I'm still here, and still alive. I'll just do a few random ones since it's been literal weeks since I've actually posted here.

Thanksgiving/Gratitude Traditions combined (kind of)
1. I love the Thanksgiving service at my church, which I'm sure I've mentioned here before. It's actually on Thanksgiving morning, and it's one hour of spontaneous short testimonies and hymns by request. It is, hands down, my favorite service of the entire year. We have some "traditions" within the service, and we never hit all of them, but we always hit some of them. This year, it was kids requesting Christmas songs, and signing "Jesus Loves Me."
2. The Thanksgiving meal in general. We don't really have any traditions (with the meal or otherwise) and we've even done meat other than turkey or ham). I just love the meal in general.
3. And... only two, because of the lack of Thanksgiving traditions mentioned above.

Nature has so many greens. Here are some I saw from my balcony as we sailed into Castaway Cay this morning


We have green wall to wall rug in my house. Our dogs, especially as they get older, appreciate the traction rugs give as they walk.

I enjoy salads, and peas are a welcome addition to them!

 

[newski_mom]

1. I'm going to agree with the green Christmas trees!
2. I've never had many green clothes, but this year I got a green blouse, and enjoyed wearing it on St Patrick's Day!
3. i'll also go with the green grass. DH manages the turf department at the company we both work for, so we have a beautiful yard and I do enjoy it!

Today's Topic (Sun, 12/3) - 3 green things you're grateful for
1. My daughter's green eyes
2. My Green Birthstone Emerald
3. Green Apples

 

[PollyannaMom]

I'm going to go with Christmas trees, green vegetables, and a favorite sweater my aunt made me.

Green:
1. Limes—I like them better than lemons.
2. Christmas tree—love the look and the smell.
3. Green eyes—my mother had stunning green eyes and oldest DD’s are also green—hers are not quite the same shade, but beautiful nonetheless.

Extra grateful green things: dollars to be blessed to have in general and to be able to use for necessities and most meaningfully in some way of faithful service to the Lord. Dad and I have a green water cup and couch pillow. Green in general brings to my mind Easter and Spring--rebirth literally through my faith and all fresh green life outdoors growing, too.

Dad postcard surprise update. Do any of you live in or know anyone who lives in the following states: Idaho, Montana, or New Jersey? If YES, please PM me asap! I have extra blank postcards from each of these states. I would love someone living in them to PM/email (I would give you my email address to give a non Disboard member if needed) me a message for my dad that I could print out and paste onto the postcard. No snail mail required. Thank you so very much. Please let me know by the end of this coming week. God Bless You.

Glad that I like the color green because I have come home from Costco thinking I bought a brown type shirt but it is actually green. Not totally color blind, just can't tell the diff between the two.

The Boston Celtic green - Larry Bird was my grandpa's favorite player along with me. I was able to tuck one of Birds basketball cards in his casket.

The Green Monster in Fenway Park. Traveled from WA in 2017 with my son for our first visit to Boston. Had seats atop the Monster, singing along with everyone else to Sweet Caroline. Amazing!
