18 October - What I'm Thankful for Today

Good afternoon from a beautifully cool day in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It's in the 60s. Or it was when I sat down at the computer. It's starting to drop now. It was the warmest day we've had in a couple of weeks. I'm thankful I'm caught up with the notifications. When I saw how many there were, I didn't think that would happen. It is always fun to see what you're doing in your part of the world. I'm thankful I didn't forget Missy this morning, though I forgot to feed her this morning. Her daddy said he did when he got here this morning. No problem. I'm thankful for a chat with my friend down the hall this morning after exercise class. She treated me to pumpkin bread. Now, mind you, I'm not a pumpkin fan, but that bread was good. I'm thankful for rock painting today. I needed to make more Smile God Loves You rocks for the ladies in my Bible study. I got them all finished and brought them home - 8 of them. I also did two other rock projects. I'll bring them home next time. I'm thankful I remembered to call the bookstore that is doing the book signing on November 4 to let him know I'll be there. He called me back a short while ago to tell me there will be 52 authors there for the book signing event. It should be a great day. Okay, that's my day. It's time for me to get down to the community room for prayer tonight. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. This is Missy.

Miss seems to enjoy the snow as much as you do. I am thankful that the doctors appointments of my husband went well.

Missy looks very sweet. I am thankful a package I thought was stolen was actually just delivered to the wrong address.

I'm thankful it's not snwing here yet, though I'm feeling cold. The sun didn't break through the clouds until 5:30 today.

@just4him It's shining again this morning but I didn't wake up until 8:30, and I'm sure, by the time I'm dressed and had my breakfast, the nasty clouds will have eaten it all up. It's only 9°C/49°F, so I'm not gonna rush out in my nightie.

Not snowing here either. I took this last January. I'm sorry the sun didn't break through until late. I'm glad you saw it.

Enjoy your warmth while you have it. You know I'm looking forward to the cooler temperatures. Yes, it should be wonderful. Critters are just like children. Some just won't pose for pictures no matter how hard you try.

Maybe it's the picture. She's not plump. She's a picky eater. I'm glad you're thankful for your family and everything you have.

I'll be thankful when I get all the Discussions and Notifications done. I am behind because the Illuminating Company had a planned outage for several hours. We have a standby generator; but that still means that the telephone, TV and internet were out. Have a good day.

That doesn't help. I'm sorry it was out for several hours. I'm getting caught up after Canasta.

@LindaOHio I'm sorry they did. I wonder if it was only in your area. I didn't experience an outage.

I was thankful for the flu shot I got on the 17th, but not thankful for the pain. I couldn't really sleep for the pain and itching. I'm so glad it feels like my arm again now.

52 authors? That does sound like it will be a great day. Missy looks a cute little dog.

I just read the flyer for the event they sent me. It will be a wonderful event. I'm more excited now than before.
