Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[clappyclaps]

Evening all

I'm going to mix and match my top 3 today from both topics I think!

1. New York Rangers - on my first trip to NYC, I was introduced to ice hockey and the NHL in general, and I'll never forget watching the Rangers play in Madison Square Garden. Thanks to this i always try and catch an NHL game whenever I'm in the States.

2. Film locations - one thing i really loved about NYC is the amount of films that have been shot there and the sheer number of iconic filming locations you can visit around the city. I'm a huge film fan so getting to see some of these places up close in person was a dream come true. My biggest highlight being the Ghostbusters firehouse

3. NYC style cookies - not sure if you call them this in the States? But these are my favourite type of cookies to eat and make, in any flavour. I made some gingerbread ones the other week that were divine and my mince pie ones went down a treat last Christmas!

Well..... Christopher Cross got stuck in my mind as I used Cloud cover this morning to weed 4 yards of elderly folks... when you get caught between the moon and New York City

Lillies.. cover the shoulders rural roads in July, unlike any thing on the West Coast... Oregon has no roadside wildflowers...in. ...New York country side a festival of blooming colors

Elimira New York...my family ancestry is rooted there as well as Mark Twain history trivia

Constution Island... after reading the Wikipedia page.. I am a pioneer in its preservation...my Colonel solicited my help in 1984 to help his eagle scout project... to build a simple path on land still off limits . The island historical home of Anna Warner... Writer of the song Jesus loves me this I know

...so.yes....easy to fall in love

I'm going to go with:
ice cream
books (inspired by Hobbit Day)
and (inspired by car free day) places I've able to walk to - especially the town library when I was a kid, and a convenience store with slushies when DS was little!

Good Monday Morning

It’s the start of another week.

#1 - ICE CREAM CONES - I’m grateful for a local family owned ice cream shop that’s open Memorial Day - Labor Day. We love their waffle cones and I love our family ice cream cone evenings in the summer.

#2 - GIRL’S NIGHT OUT - I’m grateful for some friends that I go out to dinner with a few times a year.

#3 - FAMILY DAY - These are getting less and less as DD22 gets busier and busier, but when they do happen my heart is full and happy. Last one was when we went to downtown Chicago the beginning of August.

Spaghetti with brown butter one of my favorite meals

Ice cream cones nothing says summer to me more than an ice cream cone or a beach with an ice cream cone

When I think of state capitals I think a state fairs and I have fun memories of going to state fairs funny thing I’ve never been to one of my own state because the next stayed over there’s was closer so we went to that one
