Thankful Thursday

Is it Thursday, already?? 

More like, should it be Friday already?! 

Whew...  It's been a long ass haul week!

I am feeling better, and my voice has come back, but I still have that runny nose problem, and this morning I woke up to find more "gook" at the corner of my eye.  How I hate that! 

Sorry for all the entries of the slide show--I had to delete them because they weren't coming up the way I wanted.  Sorry, again!  I have more, but I'll post them at another time.  At the moment I am attempting to do a MovieMaker "Masterpiece" to send to the relatives with music attached.  My son Andrew is going to help me with us, because in his own words, he is a "professional" in Moviemaker. 

I have all my pictures downloaded but I get the developed as well, because I am a picture person.  I need to put pictures in photo albums, and I like to frame them and put them on display.  I have over 750 pictures from this summer.  Wheww..  I am going to need to buy another album I guess, perhaps two.  There are a few pictures that I intend to frame and hang on the wall as well. 

Hopefully I'll have my movies and pictures in order by Christmas. 

Anyways, here are some thankful mentions for Thankful Thursday:

1.  I am thankful that I have a heavy duty sized washer AND dryer.  While in the Azores I had to make do with a very small washing machine and no dryer.  Hanging clothes out to dry can be fun, and very energy efficient, BUT, I HATE ironing clothes, and I'm terrible with an iron.

2.  I am thankful we don't have an ant problem.  I HATE ants.  I hate seeing them in the kitchen especially.  You will learn to know why soon, hopefully in my next installment.

3.  I am thankful that I am back in the loving arms of my husband.  Being away for three weeks without him around really sucked. I had fun, don't get me wrong, but I would have had more fun if he was there. 

4.  I am thankful that I have close and loving relatives.  Sure, most of them live like thousands of miles away, but they still do exist.  Will I wait another 8 years to see them again?  NO way, Jose! 

5.  I am thankful I have my health and a home filled with sometimes unruly, but angelic children.  If they weren't healthy they would be less unruly.  We have teeangers and a toddler--Thank God for all of them. 

6.  Lastly, I am thankful for my king-sized bed, and chocolate.
