Grateful Friday: Just One List Today (14/30)

Today I give thanks for..

Friends who deliver homemade pies made from fresh picked berries just because.

B-day planning and shopping.  Miss Bit turns 9! next week.  I have her presents bought or ordered.  I think she's going to love them all.  They're not extravagant, but rather thoughtful and I know that means so much more to her.  We have a special birth day planned with her BFF, a special meal to order and the ingredients to bake one of her favorite cakes.  Then next weekend we'll party with the family.  Birthdays are kind of a big deal at Casa Wags.

Urban playgrounds.  We have driven by this under the bridge playground perched on the outskirts of downtown numerous times.  We finally stopped there this week to have fun on the swings.  And we did have fun despite the scowl Miss Bit is wearing in the picture below.  She wanted me to put down my camera and push her, and so I obliged.


Reading again with my girl.  I love ending the day cuddled up with her, the cats and a good book.

Boys with appetites : belly up to the bar at our favorite Italian market one pizza each after a morning of golf with one friend, and almost an entire loaf of banana bread with another.



Morning doves.  Their coo...it is beautiful, but haunting.



Raspberry crumble bars.



Netflix and Breaking Bad.  It's really so good.

T. Bone was invited to the Jr. PGA golf invitational.  He cannot go because he already has other commitments, but it is an honor as well as a testament to his character.  I know he really really wants to play in the tournament, but not more than he wants to spend the day celebrating a good friend's birthday.

No air condo all week.  Windows wide open to let in fresh air morning and night.

Hide and Seek.



Bumble bees.

Caterpillars.  Miss Bit's arrived and will eventually become Painted Lady Butterflies much to my nature loving little girl's delight!

Pretty Piggies.



His energy.



Her innocence.
