Thirty Days of Gratitude ~ Days 6 and 7

Good morning, everyone!  I hope you are having a great weekend!

Yesterday, we were “craft-showing.”  I left the house about 6:30 in the morning to meet our d-i-l and travel about 80 miles to where our oldest daughter and her family live.  Their church ladies’ ministry was hosting their annual craft fair.  DD# 2 joined us a little later. (She's learning getting four kids is a little different than g  It was the first time the two newest babies were together.  (And little Ms. Thang (as Papaw calls her) that we having been thinking of as being so tiny, next to her newest cousin, looks huge!  What a difference two months can make!)

In the afternoon, the girls gave me a break and DD#1 took me to get my hair styled.  It needed it!  It had been 18 months since my last haircut and color weave!  I think they were tired of looking at me.  No color-weave this time, maybe later.

 

We ate dinner at a place called Freddie’s Creamery.  It was my first time to eat there; fun atmosphere and good burgers.  I also got a chance to go to Hobby Lobby and pick up a few things!  Wish there was a Hobby Lobby closer to home.  (I’d be ever so grateful for one.  Dh on the other hand, might not.)

Our weather was beautiful again yesterday!  It is such a gift for this time of year!  It made the trip up special, seeing the sun reflect off the frost – both beautiful and serene.  We also happened upon a small herd of deer feeding close to the road.  There was about nine or ten, all sizes, just standing under a group of trees.  They never moved.  I would have loved to have stopped and taken a picture…..but, I don’t think they would’ve stuck around and poised for me.

Oh, what am I thankful for….great times with my girls and their babies!

And today, I am grateful for the seven grand babies who managed to talk their parents into allowing them to either come home with me or stay here….some of them kept Papaw busy yesterday while I was gone.  I am thankful for what looks to be another beautiful day.  Papaw had a lot of help in the milk barn this morning!!!  (I’m not even attempting to take this group to church …it will take all morning just to get them all fed, which I need to get busy and do!)

Gabby, our oldest granddaughter, used my camera to take pictures of some of the tables at the craft fair.  I’ll have to see what all she captured and if there are some nice shots, I’ll post a few.  It was good to see the ladies (and a few men) yesterday, most of which we hadn’t seen since last year’s craft fair.  Good times, good friends, and family…. Wonderful Blessings!
