Ten Things of Thankful: Very Short, Hopefully Sweet Edition

I'm writing this from a hotel in St. George, Utah.  Tomorrow I arrive in Provo for Education Week at Brigham Young University. 
I'm thankful for:
1.  Oldest son--he is great about keeping in touch.
2.  Oldest daughter--she is always up for a Disneyland trip.

3.  Middle daughter--she's grown up so much being a mom.
4.  Youngest son--I've loved having him home this summer.

5.  Youngest daughter--my travel companion this week for BYU Education Week.
6.  Drexel--goofy dog amuses me.

7.  Working transportation.
8.  Working a/c and CD player in #7.
9.  A pillow that is calling my name.
10.  John--master of foam aviator hats, holder-downer of the fort, and supporter of my travels.

(In case you would like to make your own aviator hat, he used the pattern mentioned in the following video.)

  5. Sweet hat! I recently put our crates away to free up floor space, but the dogs did enjoy having their own little corner when they were out. Once Louie was followed in by a cat we used to have. The cat was notorious for his somewhat cranky disposition. Poor Louie was afraid to pass the cat to come out and had to cry until I came and shooed the cat away.

  8. Your 7 8 and 9 - absolutely!
    Short and sweet is awesome. And I have to say that you could be your son's sister - you do NOT look old enough to have a son that age. :)

  9. It's sweet how you worked all your children into your TToT.

    Sounds like a lot of exciting traveling you've been doing.
    I love when a pillow calls your name at the end of a day. Love the photo descriptions too by the way. Thanks.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
