Today I’m thankful for…


I’m thankful that my granddaughter sends us pictures of our great grands so often. We’ve not seen them in months and months and we miss that, but it’s a real treat to get photographs of them.

    Look how cute they are. It’s nice to be able to see pictures when you can’t see them in person. I’m thankful for the visit I got yesterday. I opened my door to see cute Presley knocking on my storm door.

    We feel so sad for people that haven’t gotten to see family or friends since the virus thing started. Thankfully we have continued to see family and friends, especially Gramma who really needs company. Hope you get to see the kids soon.

    Children breathe new life into a family and certainly bring joy the the grandparents and great grandparents. It’s hard for me to believe that you and Zane are great grandparents. We are still a couple of years away from that experience. Looking forward to that day. Stay safe, stay healthy, and have a blessed day.

    I’m thankful for my daughter Nicole and her husband Joe. They have helped us when ever we needed assistance since I can no longer do a lot of physical work. They have been there whenever asked.

    Sweet and cute! Glad you get photos of these babies!
    I’m thankful we have phones that we can talk and see each other. That’s got to be one of the best inventions of our age.
    Wishing you a happy Thursday! <3

    Your great grands are all so sweet. We too miss seeing and hugging the grands as much as we used to. We wonder when we will get to see the one that lives in Texas along with his father, our human brother, and his mother. We are so hoping it will be possible at Christmas.

    I do not have grandchildren yet, but I can only imagine how hard it is not to see them in person. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel. Visiting you from Thankful Thursday.

      They are far more wonderful then your own kids. It’s hard to believe, but you’ll find that out when you have your first grand. 🙂
