Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[PollyannaMom]

@PollyannaMom... In what area did you play, and when? I played in the North Shore of Boston area in the early 80s. I'm asking cuz our darts night was also on Tuesdays!

South Shore in the mid-90s - Quincy, Hull, that area.

It would have been cool if we had met without knowing it, though!

I would second sharp knives, scissors and forks - all super useful items that I probably couldn't go a day without using. I'd rather not cook than try to chop something up without a sharp knife

Good Sunday Morning Friends

#1 - Forks - Can’t eat dinner without them

#2 - Needles - As in sewing needles. I need to get mine out and fix a few of my dogs toys. I have them in all sizes

#3 - Sharp Knives - I have way more than I need. I don’t know where so many of them came from. My forks disappear and my knives multiply - so weird

Well...forks ...I guess that is the beauty of border living...

Paddle cactus...aloe plants don't need to be watered by habit a good rain once a year will suffice until a monsoon pours... unless you want hummingbirds and their beaks inside the beautiful aloe flower which we enjoy.... hence the metal proxy.. yellow color to the right

I’m a bit obsessive about always sharpening my pencil, so I have to include that.

The letter opener I bought for my dad and now use.

Today's Topic (Mon, 6/30) - 3 things you're grateful for beginning with the letter K

 

[slo]

Happy Monday Everyone

Ks are easy for me.

#1 - DH - His name starts with a K

#2 - DD21 - Her name starts with a K

#3 - Kindness - I’m grateful to get kindness from others, and I love giving kindness to others

Amen to kindness dear Slo. Always.

By my faith belief, Jesus, King of Kings.

Kids singing at church especially at Christmas touches my heart deeply.

Kitchens - go without one a while and see how much you appreciate yours because I did for two years I can’t tell you how much I appreciate my kitchen although I don’t wanna cook I still enjoy having the kitchen

Ketchup - one of my favorite condiments I gotta have something to dip my fries I’m old-school I want ketchup

Kittens I just think they’re adorable and their antics are so enjoyable

Kiwanda cape, Oregon best access to view a haystack, dory launch season and the best sand dune experience for climbing, photos and what goes up...must tumble down

Keizer, Oregon..our son is the only one in the Willamette valley who owns cattle...deep inside City limits and the 45th parallel is downtown.. great for photos

KROFFT 1970s Saturday morning TV... time to tune Tom Petty.. good to be king

1. Kitchen - I second WDWEPCOT's kitchens. I had mine done a few years ago and not having even basic kitchen utilities and appliances for 3 weeks was incredibly difficult. Couldn't live without my kitchen, although I'd love a chef in it to cook for me

2. Best friend - one of my best friends name starts with K. We've been friends for over 20 years since college, and sadly she lives at the opposite end of the country so dont get to see her as often as I'd like. We went to DLP together and loved it, and keep saying one day we'll make it to WDW together too!

3. Kindle - I love real books and was very much against Kindles to begin with, however I've now had one for years and couldn't live without it. The ability to be able to carry around hundreds of books at once is great, perfect especially when you're travelling light or going somewhere that'll involve a lot of reading. My local library does an ebook loan scheme too which means I can borrow ebooks and save my bookshelves at home for the real books I love and want to keep.

Fantastic response...I love being in this classroom

That reminded me of that CBS show on the road with Charles Kuralt that was always a cute show

Kingdoms? As in Animal and Magic??
Koala bears- so cute and snuggly!
Kitchen- the heart of my home!

Kitchen Kabaret: loved this show

Kindle: like others have said, at first I resisted and now I can’t imagine not having it. Features I love: highlighting, writing notes, and bookmarking with no damage, like with a paper book. I also love being able to look up a word instantly without having to stop and look it up in a dictionary. And, adjusting the font, especially appreciated at my age.

My DD whose name starts with K, and whose name I had picked out years before I ever became a mom.

Today's Topic (Tues, 71) - 3 things you're grateful for about July

 

[slo]

Happy July 1st Friends

#1 - Many Family Birthdays - I’m grateful for all the family members alive and passed away that have a July birthday. Some family members I see and some I don’t, it doesn’t matter, I pray for them all on their birthday.

#2 - 4th of July - I’m always grateful for our nation’s birthday, and for those patriots, back in the 1770s, that gave their lives to give us freedom.

#3 - Good Pool Month - Typically, I get a lot of pool time in July, which I’m always grateful for.

My birthday is in July, and DD always bakes me a cake, from scratch, whatever I like!

Vacation! We always go to NOLA to visit my sister and brother-in-law. Lots of good food, good drinks, and good company!

School is FINALLY out. UMaine usually graduates the first weekend in May but summer session starts the Monday after graduation. We teach organic chemistry 1, lecture and lab, in 4 weeks, followed immediately by 4 weeks of organic chem 2, lecture and lab. It's a crazy, stressful 8 weeks, but it's almost over. Today is the last lab, tomorrow is check-out, and then I'm done for the summer!! I still get paid/work full time, but there is little to do and my time is my own, as long as things are accomplished. Most of what I have to do this summer I can do remotely, so... I MADE IT!!
