Good evening from pleasant Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. Right now, it's 80 F at 8:45 p.m.
It's been a good day. I have so much to be thankful for today.
I'm thankful I was born 71 years ago today. It's been a rough life, but these last ten years have been wonderful.
I'm thankful for my children. My daughter texted me early, then called and we talked for a while. I then talked to my son. His girlfriend came over with purple roses. They're gorgeous. I'll have pictures tomorrow.
I'm thankful for my granddaughter who also texted me early and then called me around noon and I talked to my great grandchildren too. It was awesome!
I'm thankful my sister called. She and my brother-in-law were coming to Green Bay today, so I invited them to the party. It was so good to see them. They didn't stay long enough to eat as they were going to a baseball game their grandson was in tonight.
I'm thankful one of my grandson's texted me today. It was great hearing from him.
I'm thankful for the spur of the moment party. It was great! I have a lot of pictures to download. The food was awesome! I made Zucchini, baked potatoes, and supplied the green onions and sour cream. My friend the chef provided the steaks, sauteed onions and mushrooms, and the carrot cake. It was so good. I couldn't eat all my steak, so I have a lot left. There were nine people altogether. Seven ate dinner. I also made fresh squeezed lemonade. It was awesome! So was the party. My friend the chef did a great job on the grill.
So, the first day of my new year turned out perfect.
I also spent time here this morning and tonight. I played my games, and walked the trail - the industrial section and the pond section. With the party, I have over 15K steps. I needed to turn off the phone as I was at 9% at the party. So, I'm only guessing at the last thousand steps. I'm finally at 46%. My friend will be sharing photos from her phone so I have them. Once I download all the photos, I'll share them here.
Okay, that's my day. It was perfect. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I am thankful for George and Chilly. Having George waiting and ready for me. We changed his tube dressing late, but I'm glad he's on top of it. I still have to ensure he gets his blood thinner on time, as it's critical that he gets it around the same time everyday, However, he's on top of his other meds and takes them. He also wanted me to help him with his toes. Not sure how well I did with that, but I'm thankful I tried.

@just4him Chilly and George give my days meaning and keep me going. If it were not for Chilly, I don't think I would've gone home at all during George's hospitilization.

Your birthday celebrations and texts, phone calls sound like your birthday was a good one. The party/grilling certainly sounds like fun and of course all that food sounds delicious. Hope this next years brings you lots of joy and happiness.

Thank you so much. I hope so too. I'm not getting any younger and you never know what's going to happen around the corner. I take it one day at a time and praise God for everything.

I'm glad you had a wonderful Birthday. I'm thankful that they started on the porch steps yesterday. I"m hoping that the railings are up by the time my husband comes home. Have a good weekend.

Purple roses are so gorgeous! And how wonderful that so much of your family got a hold of you.
I’m thankful my sister and oldest niece made it to Alabama safely. It was a long trip since they left at 4:30am this morning. Tomorrow they soldier on to Florida to join my dad and stepmom at the Bible conference.

Happy Birthday, Valerie! I'm glad you had a special dinner and a surprise visit from your sister&brother-in-law. Your meal sounds wonderful, plus phone calls from your daughter, son, grand-daughter, a text from your grandson, how nice! Life without our family and friends would be very empty, except the Lord's presence would fill in the void.
