Yes, give me good friends that are there good and bad.  The ones I have are precious.

Gratitude Day 4 Nov. 2013

I am lucky to have my siblings.  We all have our good points and bad, but we are there in a pinch.  We all live within a 15 mile radius.  I can't imagine my life without them.  Looking back, there have been many blessings with them in my life.

Tuesday is our Harvest Bake Sale and Raffle. Today I put finishing touches on all the artwork, and made 10 mini loafs of pumpkin bread and applesauce spice bread. (5 of each), Plus I am making about two dozen candy pumpkins.

 So, here is a rundown of whats going in the raffles:

And this is only my part of it.  Hoping the whole sale brings in a big haul for the Womens Shelter. Wish us luck!

Today I am grateful for my roots.  My core family.  My parents were good people who loved me.  Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles were also good people with good sense of humor and kindness. I come from good stock, and for this I am grateful.

Our boys are grown men now.  Although they live away, and they don't call home as much as my mothers heart would like, I know we raised them to be independent thinkers and responsible adults.  They are out charting their own course, and that's a proud thing.  I know my life is blessed with each of them and their unique characteristics.  I hope someday they find their soul mates and have their own children because I believe they will never know the depth of my love for them until they become parents themselves. Thank you God, for these blessings.

My grateful heart has to start this new blog with The Hubs.  He has seen me at my best and worst, and loves me anyway.  He is the best person I could ask for as a father to my boys, and puts up with all that comes to us in life.  Now that the boys are out on their own, Hubs and I have survived the crazy years of having kids and are doing rather well putting up one on one.  I know that is a toughie for some people empty nesting, but we are doing pretty well.  I am thankful that we have each other.
