Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for:

**My chiropractor - I just went this morning for my regular adjustment.  I totally needed it after all the riding in the car we did last week on our trip.  At the moment I certainly feel better. Now I just have to be careful not to sit too much, which is hard since I work at a desk.  lol

**I'm thankful for our trip last week to the Smokies.  We had such a wonderful time relaxing and just enjoying being together with no schedule of any kind.

I feel so blessed.  How about you?  Click here to join in with Rebecca Jo.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What are your ingredients for a perfect Saturday?
Slow easy morning, reading and cleaning up and then lunch out with hubby and maybe  go watch planes at the airport or head to a lake or the river and enjoy from the banks and then relaxing in the evening, watching TV or a movie.

2. What skill do you wish more people took the time to learn?
Kindness.  Maybe that's not a skill, but people definitely need to practice it more.

3. What's something you ate as a child you can't stand now as an adult?
I can't think of anything.  It's usually the opposite way around.  Things I hated as a child, I love now, like green beans and soup beans, etc.

4. Something parenting has taught you? If you're not a parent tell us one important lesson you learned from your own parents.
Children definitely are little people and they have their own ideas about things and will not like something just because you do.

5. Share a favorite quote or saying about mothers or motherhood.
"Never have more children than you have car windows." --Erma Bombeck

6. Insert your own random thought here.
Sure do love this little boy.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day.

Geese at Cowan Lake last Saturday.  Not as sunny as I like, but it was still so beautiful and peaceful there.

Love all the beautiful flowering trees I've seen this week

This is in our neighborhood and is extremely pretty,  I've been watching the buds getting bigger for weeks now and finally they have opened.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
