Thankful Thursday

Rebecca is on vacation today, but I decided I would still post my thankfulness.  You can click here if you'd like to visit her blog (which I recommend).  There is just no link-up this week.

I'm thankful for:

*  a beautiful blue sky today.  It's a little cool (which I love) but the skies are so blue and it's much appreciated after several days of grey.

*  my sweet grandson wearing the hat I made for him.

* just one more day of work after today before I'm on vacation.

So what are you thankful for this week?

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What's surprised you most about your life or life in general?
One thing that surprises me is that I am actually 60 years old now.  Who would've thought?  Another thing is that after 41 years, I'm still working at the placed I started working when I was 19.  My 19 year old self would have never dreamed I would stay this long.

2.  Sweet potato fries, sweet potato casserole, a baked sweet potato, a bowl of butternut squash soup, a caramel apple or a slice of pumpkin pie...you have to order one thing on this list right now. Which one do you go for?
Sweet Potato Casserole

3. What's a famous book set in your home state? Have you read it? On a scale of 1-5 (5 is fantastic) how many stars does it rate?
I don't know that it's famous, but at least I've heard of the author, although, I've never read the book.  I think I'd like to though.  I need to put it on my wish list at the library.  It's called "The Frontiersmen" by Allan Eckert.

4. There are 60 days until Christmas...have you started your shopping? How do you stay organized for the holidays?
No, I haven't started shopping yet for Christmas.  I'll probably shop some while I'm on vacation next month and then the rest I'll probably do online (which is my favorite way to shop).

5. October 26th is National Tennessee Day. Have you ever lived or spent any time in Tennessee? Is this a state you'd like to visit one day? The top rated tourist attractions in Tennessee are-

The Great Smoky Mountain National Park (Gatlinburg area), Elvis's Graceland (Memphis), Birth of the Music Biz (Memphis and Nashville), Dollywood (Pigeon Forge), Tennessee's Military Heritage (many battlefields), The Hermitage (Andrew Jackson's home), The Parthenon (Nashville), Oak Ridge American Museum of Science and Energy, Chattagnooa and the Tennessee Valley Railroad, Downtown Knoxville, Lookout Mountain, The Titanic Museum (Pigeon Forge), The Museum of Appalachia (Clinton), and The Lost Sea Adventure (Sweetwater)

How many on this list have you seen? Which one on the list would you most like to see?
I have never lived in Tennessee, but have often vacationed there.  I hope to go back many more times in my lifetime.  I have been to The Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Elvis's Graceland, Dollywood, Oak Ridge American Museum of Science and Energy,   I've been to Knoxville, but I'm not sure I've been to Downtown Knoxville.

6.  Insert your own random thought here.
The good Lord willing, I will be here this time next week.

Friday Foto Friends

It's time for Friday Foto Friends where we post pictures from our week.  Click the button above if you'd like to link up.

Here are a couple of random pictures from my week.  Nothing spectacular, but I love taking photos with my phone.

Horses across the street from the exit of our subdivision

Same horses, but a different day

My grandson.  Mommy took his picture in his new outfit. and sent it to me.  Doesn't he look proud.

My grandson's mommy on her way to work I think.

This is my oldest daughter just after getting a fresh haircut.

These are not spectacular pictures as I said above, however the subject matter of the last three are very spectacular.  I love them to pieces.

Thankful Thursday

I love video chat time with my grandson and his momma.  He was eating last night while we talked.

I'm listening to this audobook from the Library.  It is excellent and getting me in the Christmas spirit.  I've listened to several of her books and just found this one.  I'm going to have to see if she has some more.  She's the one who wrote The Christmas Shoes.  Love her books.

Love it when Lucy sacks out with me.

I love making these scripture photos on the YouVersion Bible app.

I am so thankful for the many things and people God has blessed me with.  How about you?  What are you thankful for this week?  You can click the button at the top of the page if you'd like to join in with Rebecca Jo at Knit By God's Hand.
