Grateful Friday

Today.. right now.. I give thanks for a snowy Friday eve and a cozy night at home. 

I've been keeping a gratitude journal and here are some things that have made me feel thankful recently.

Lily made a delicious caprese pasta bake for dinner.

Ted made it home from Cali safely and only a bit delayed because of a snow day.

A little pain...a little gain. HIT workouts.

Back into Tom River and Candace is reading it too.

A walk and talk with my cousins.

A girl's movie night in my bed with Lils and Hazel.

 

 An excellent bill of progress for Judy who is recovering like a champ and my dad for taking good care of her.

Ted's Chick Fil A copy cats at my request.

Being able to stock the kids up for back to school. Groceries are crazy expensive and I do not take for granted that we can afford what we need.

The start of spring semester. Ted's last.


 A day off to get vacay ready. Nails, pack and fill the frig for Steph.

Steph for taking good care of Gus and Hazel and Casa Wags while we are away, and for sending us updates and pix.


Sunset on La Ropa shortly after arriving in Mexico.

 

So many fun times in Mexico with Pete and Sue.


 

A private pool in a lush oasis.

 

 

The birds of Mexico.

 

The warm and welcoming people of Mexico. 







Tacos de Oaxaca's.

 Morning barefoot beach walks.

Fresh grilled mahi mahi.

 

A day to ease back into things at the end of vacation.

The smell of spring.


 National Pizza day lunch date at Ballestreri's with my guy.
 

Mike's bbq ribs in the middle of winter.

My favorite chair.

Chocolate cherry custard on Valentine's Day.

Gus's early morning nose kisses and elbow nibbles.

A big pot of classic chili to welcome family and friends on a cold Friday night.

A day date with the fam and then a chill night at home with the kids.

 This is Us with Sister Hazel after work.

Feeling like writing again.

A golden bouquet delivered to Meryl on her golden birthday.
