Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Black and white movies. Although, since my parents didn’t get a color TV until I was in college, all movies were black and white! Every year I would watch the Wizard of Oz and my parents would tell me how it changed to color when she landed in Oz. On our TV, everything just looked a little darker :)

Pianos

Pandas at the National Zoo. Can’t wait to take my DGD to see the new ones!
 
Money 💵
Grass - I’d be very grateful if I had some I mean the kind of my yard mine just seems to die I’ve got more mud than grass my dream is to have a beautiful yard full of grass my dogs vision is to kill all the grass in my yard and he’s doing a great job as the saying goes you can either have grass or you can have a dog currently I have a dog

Green Vegetables - spinach lettuce green beans there’s so many more most of them I do like and I’m very grateful for them
 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! :shamrock: :wave:

I do like the color green a lot.

#1 - Green Leaves - I’m so grateful when Spring arrives and we have green leaves everywhere again.

#2 - The H20 Products At Our Resort - I looked forward to taking a shower every day.

#3 - My Green Shirts, Sweaters And Etc. - I love my green clothes because they look nice with my red hair.
 
Shoes (I am a shoe lover, so this is tough!!!)

Good running shoes - Not only can a good pair keep you comfy on your feet for hours and miles on end, good ones should be good to go right out of the box. I think about Disney trip advice and people talking about breaking in shoes ahead of a trip, but that is completely unnecessary if you're in a good pair of shoes. If anything, breaking them in just wastes mileage in the peak cushioning period.

Fun Shoes - Oh I love a fun pair of shoes! My brain first went to this pair of platform combat boots I own with gold hardware, but I was also reminded of this really fun pair of purple suede platforms I used to have. I adored the shoes...had to have them...but I never found much of anything that matched them.

Winter boots - This is an area that I like to be both fun and functional. Some even cross over into summer hiking territory.

Black & White

A good black and white cookie - This was always a treat growing up and Zabars has some of my faves. There are a couple of places that sell them locally but they're just not as good.

Pianos - While those eight different teachers never got through to me so I could play, I certainly relied heavily on people playing for me while I sing. Of course, there are some wonderful piano pieces.

Spectators - A little nod back to the shoe category, but I love a spectator shoe. I used to have a pair of loafers that I adored. I'd love to find a nice pair of spectator oxfords with a chunky heel.

Green

Forests - With the time change, I'm out walking on weekdays as the sun is coming up. I see the forest around me shift to green as the light starts to hit the trees.

DD18s room - She's home for spring break so I have had more reason to go into her two-tone green room over the last couple of days.

Avocado - I really love avocados. I have even switched to avocado mayo.
 
Green paint tape for prices doesn't stick to my vintage metal garden work when I sell it at the market

Army 🪖 🪖 🪖 and marines are station here in Yuma. Marines are aviation training and are not in defense capacity. Army base is in the middle of nowhere and I feel sorry for low rank enlisted..YPG is a testing ground for government contractors and parachute training...no defense.

Green onions are great on salads, hash browns and baked potato. The border grocery store sells them 50 cents a large bunch... Kroger 1.20 a bunch
 
Round things-

Diamond studs - I had wanted a pair for years and one year, DH surprised me with a pair. For a while, he'd talked about upgrading them, but kind of like the stone in my engagement ring, the sentimental feelings are tied to the original. It's funny also because I don't normally like rounds, but for earrings they were just right!

Car Wash brushes - I just got my vehicle washed during lunch (the great annual pollening is in full swing) and there were all kinds of round brushes scrubbing my absolutely filthy ride.

Headphones - I just got a new pair of noise canceling headphones and I'm thinking of the padded ear pieces on them.
 
Ferroero rocher... they melt 🫠 🫠 in my pocket and I have that wonderful blend of filters and wafers and chocolate

Tuesday Bible study around a round table...informal contact and grace and prayers

Del Sol 🌞🌞🌞many yards here in Yuma are decorated with metal yard art.... images of the 🌞 🌞 🌞 are popular... we have a 2 foot wide one that hangs from a metal trellis and bangs... not chimes in the wind
