Thankful shelf life...

 1.  We had some visitors today. Quiet bunch, I saw them well before I heard them. About a dozen or so were by our apple trees when I went out to feed. There were 2 or three just getting some antlers. 



2. I have been trying a few different things, and my body seems to be appreciative of it. I am hurting much less, and except for a stupid something in my knee, I am getting closer to feeling almost normal... 

Okay, normal for me

Anyway, I don't feel like I am going to fall apart so much. 

3. Husband was able to help a neighbor do some setup for a pump house. She thanked him with cookies. They are very good! 

4. I dug out my wool socks, it's cooling off and trying to become fall. I have worn a pair to bed two or three times. I am thankful for being able to knit warm socks! 

5. Had to deal with an issue with my parents, that they wanted help with. Received help from a very nice, and knowledgeable, person, that got us through it with a LOT less hassle than I was fretting about! Whew!!

6. I have managed to get my sitting area a bit less cluttered. It's still a bit messy, but Ding can walk through, and I don't have catalogues from 2021 laying around. And I know where almost everything is, without an extensive hunt! 

7. The caregiver that is helping me with Mom and Dad is a neat gal. It's nice to have someone that I feel comfortable with, and my parents do, too.

8. Apples are coming on. Since I missed the blackberries, maybe I can get some of the apples done up. (And my tomatoes...) 

9. Even as tired as I get, my family has worked together to keep things going. It's been a definite learning curve, but we're still able to keep everything okay.

10. It was mentioned to put what is on the second shelf of your bookshelf as you come in the room.


This shelf is all items from my family. Bracelets from my auntie, teacup from my mother-in-law, Husband made the unfinished wood spinning wheel take-up, a cousin made the car, and one of my uncles, the gavel was from when he was a judge. The cup and cribbage board are "heirlooms" as well. 

This one is a thankful to know all of the family I have, and the history, too!

Take care blog friends, and stay thankful!
