Thankful Thursday

Posted on by Sandee

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

Today I’m thankful that I reconnected with a blogging buddy that I’ve not heard from in several years. It made me smile. I’ve missed you Ann from A Nice Place In The Sun.

I’m thankful that we got to see our granddaughter and great grands. They are such fun.

I’m thankful that hubby and I had lunch with my brother and sister in law. It’s been a while since we’ve spent time together.

I’m thankful for all my blogging buddies. I enjoy their pups, kitties and birds. They all bring me such joy.

    I often wonder what has happened to all the bloggers that I started with in 2009 at one time there were like 40 per day now we’re down to about 18 or 20 and I wonder how they’re all doing. Glad you got to reconnect with an old blog friend and to see your family and friends. Today I am thankful that as I sit here the city came by and picked up the last of the storm damage and our three barrels are empty all the stuff on the ground and our yard is back to normal. I am thankful for the men who drive those trucks

    Glad you were able to reconnect with your blogging buddy (I visited her site and chuckled at her story about working at the Chicken Coop with nasty Harold-too funny). 😊
