I'm thankful for the overlooked gifts...

Discovering a flower in the crack of a sidewalk

Good health, a spirit of adventure and a wonderful traveling companion through life.
Friends who celebrate your birthday and underestimate your age! 
County fairs and Petting Zoos.
Our warm cozy "nest" complete with fat cats and a cozy hubby.
Watching our son interact with Oscar.
Finding forgotten money in the pocket of a winter coat.
Time spent with our granddaughter Emma.
Watching our babies grow up and being part of their life.

It's all those "forgotten" things that make our lives so rich!
I hope you and Charlie have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Warren and I are thankful for what you and Charlie do for the Kingdom and for doing it with a cheerful spirit.
Love you!!

Such a wonderful list of "forgotten things" to be thankful for, dear Daisy:-) Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!! As I say every year, I wish I could cross the border so that I could celebrate Thanksgiving all over again with my American friends:-) xoxo

Family is the most precious thing we can have...and finding the flower in a crack in the cement gives us hope that through all adversity we can prevail.

Happy Thanksgiving

We certainly have MUCH to be thankful for! And we do forget a LOT of it! But never family... nope... not family! I'm ALWAYS thankful for them ... even when they push ALL my buttons! :)

LOVE YOU! Hope you and Charlie have a blessed day - even if it IS a quiet one! Happy Thanksgiving!

I was looking at that flower in the crack on the driveway...is it a lantana?? They are so hardy I'm surprised you didn't find some growing on the driveway. My mil gave us some a LONG time ago...about 45 years and when we moved I brought it with me to this house, because I love its hardiness. It is still growing each spring and summer. Mine has the lighter color flowers...the pink, yellow and white are the hardiest. At least that is the tale they tell me here in Texas.
