Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for friends who offer to till my garden this year after they have spent long hard hours doing their own and probably just want to go home and take a shower.

I am thankful for roasted/salted soybeans.  Delicious, nutritious, crunchy and munchie.

I am thankful for when Andy takes out the trash, locks up all the doors, turns out the lights before bed, gets me my water, weeds the garden, mows the lawn, stocks the water softener, and any number of little things I easily forget and take for granted but now have had to do these past few days that he has been out of town on business.  I am thankful he comes home today.

I am thankful for squishy baby thighs.  I love to squeeze them when I am holding Ruby.  Squishy legs are only cute on babies.

I am thankful for giggles during nursing just because I looked down at her.

I am thankful for smoked Gouda cheese.  That stuff is GOUD-A!

I am thankful for 5 yr old logic that tells you that the I love you sign language sign is that way just because it has three fingers up for the three words and if you put your thumb and pointer finger together and leave the last three fingers up it means the same thing.  Its a good thing that we don't know anyone who relies on sign language because they would misread my son's attempt at sharing his feelings with them as calling them a bad name.

I am thankful it is almost Memorial Day weekend.  I am thankful for the many service men and women who shared their dream of a free America by giving their life for it.
