Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - Thankful Thursday ~ May 17
Hi and welcome to my second attempt at Thankful Thursday. I was a late starter last week, you can read the entry here. Thank you very much to Iris at Sting My Heart for getting me on track for this week.
Blessings 10-16th May
10th: ~ safe travel
~ finding some cheap meat
~ having help unpacking the food purchases

~ being able to buy all the meat I needed
~ finding the tandoori paste
~ having a good list to work from
~ glorious morning, pretty to look at the country outside town
~ a little break after school
~ because I was following a log truck I was able to get a good look at the bush and reminisce about being in the bush when I was little
11th: Last week in my late TT, I mentioned the lovely bag of biscuits my daughter brought home from school on Friday. I thought it was lovely. There were three left in there and my husband and I had them for afternoon tea. They were called yo-yos. Yo-yos are a kind of filled cookie or two cookies sandwiched together.
12th: ~ a lovely row of white mushroom like toadstools under a beautiful purple michaelmas daisy

~ my new nightie and cute pink card
~ a load of wood for the wood heater
~ getting the jam melon and lemon jam finished and it worked well
14th: ~ cutting a special gifted pumpkin and seeing inside which wasn't as expected, and realising we could grow our own from the seeds, a gift indeed!
~ getting lots of jobs done around the house
~ finding buds on my favourite bush
~ finding tiny bulb plants I had forgotten about
~ wearing my old shoes, much more comfortable, like heaven compared to the ones I threw out
~ exercise
~ a tidy loungeroom

15th: ~ using up our brown rice, a much needed thing
~ finding two lovely novels waiting for me at the library and a preserves book and a lovely DVD for dd5
~ dh having extra time to help ds with his homework
~ a light sprinkling of rain
~ a lovely old diary to read that I found on the net, that is local with an American start
~ finding that our jam tastes like jam and is a success
~ finding ideas for some chutney
~ seeing a catalogue with a Janette Oke DVD advertised in it, I enjoyed the photo

Wow, your list made me think of an old Hymn that is rarely sung today.... Count your blessings, Name them One by One....
I enjoyed this nostalgic time at your place.
Be blessed, Lynn
