Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[citruscurtis]

My 30 year old son with debilitating mental health asks... dad, what is my legacy and I tell him
.. you own the record for Goofy bounce house....30 minutes...30 long minutes all by yourself..
No one is going to break that record... there is no longer a opportunity ... lawyers have made such opportunities scarce

Lawyers arrived late to save the mohave desert tortoise . As a child in the month of May I could walk down the sandy road and it was not rare to find a tortoise crossing or a flat horny toad lizard. Victorville California is the reserve that is saving the tortoise

Let's go smelting in Washington!!! 1970s... such a spontaneous adventure to dip a net into the River.

Decades later...


2025 14 days were scheduled...10 days scheduled had cancelled netting ..it was crowded in the 70s.. can't imagine how 4 days looked on the highways and rocky banks

Rare things I'm grateful for -

Seeing a rainbow

Getting a "real"'letter in the mail

And tonight - cooking together as a family

I am a saver and I am sure there are rare items that I’ve saved over the years.
I have my 1964 World’s Fair Monorail tickets. (Unfortunately, they are not in good shape)
I have a booklet of unused food stamps from around 1971. I was financially on my own at 18 and I needed them, and I guess I saved them to remember that time.
I have boxes from the old resort-specific soaps that they used to have at WDW. Mine are from the Polynesian, from sometime in the early 90’s. I have Disney Dollars too.

Our Covid Supplies - Little did we know how things would turn during the covid era. DH had done a huge trip to Costco before everything turned upside down, so we had a huge supply of things like TP and cleaning products...just because he did his regular shopping at a good time. I felt like I needed to guard the Lysol wipes and sprays in my garage due to the scarcity at the time.

Patience - Honestly, it seems to be waning day by day, so I'm grateful whenever I can find it.

Sleep - It's been scarce of late for me, but I got in a couple of naps today while DD16 was at some softball stuff.

Today's Topic (Thu, 6/12) - 3 cookies or 3 peanut butter things you're grateful for

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups yeah I’m a little too grateful for those

Peter Pan peanut butter - when they did the recall on this several years ago I had almost 20 jars I had to return and I’m telling you I was so sad for so long until they finally put that back on the shelves it is the only peanut butter I like I tried almost every brand out there while that was recalled and I still couldn’t find one I liked butter ymmv

Choc & peanut butter frosting - I have a recipe to make this and it is just the best frosting ever it’s good on a cake it’s good on crackers it’s just absolutely delicious

Happy Thursday Friends

Peanut Butter is one of my top 5 favorite things

#1 - A Big Jar If JIF - It’s my favorite PB. I’m picking up 2 big jars at Sam’s Club this afternoon

#2 - My Peanut Butter Balls - Everyone tells me they are the best they’ve ever had. They are only made at Christmas.

#3 - Peanut Butter Powder - I love this! I add a scoop to my chocolate protein shake to make that extra good

Happy Thursday friends

How my grandma loved Reese's cups! She loved most all candy but those were her favorite.

Grandma's cookies were always baked with love.

I got my dad a favorite Pepperidge Farm cookie of his as a Father's Day gift.

I'm probably one of the few people that hates peanuts and peanut butter...

So cookies:

1. Ice cream sandwiches - cookies and sandwiches put together, what's not to like?

2. NYC style cookies - definitely the best type of cookie, I've tried and made these in many different flavours and they're always super tasty. You can't beat that crispy on the outside but soft on the inside texture.

3. Cookie dough ice cream - raw cookie dough is nice but it tastes even better when its in ice cream

Ginger molasses cookies
Pumpkin cookies
Almond cookies

Peanut Butter Alternatives - DD18 is allergic, so we're grateful for things like SunButter that are safe to have around.

Reese's Pieces - My favorite peanut butter candy. I love these but hate the cups.

Dog Treats - It's amazing how much dogs love the stuff. It's great in true treats as well as use for grooming tricks.

Hug dear Clappyclaps, I don't like peanut butter either and never have. Dad doesn't care for it either and unlike me he enjoys most foods. Grandma sure loved all kinds of peanut butter though

So from what I have read no one has any empty peanut butter containers to ship to me...we store our empty at the back of the fridge and when we have 3 it's merry peanut butter containers day for the dogs ...so much grateful joy
