Today I'm thankful for ...
... my parents living within driving distance. I've probably written about this before but it's really nice to have them just a short drive away. Mom did up a simple but tasty Easter dinner. And of course there was a bit too much food, but it hit the spot. Thanks Mom!

Nine long months
Today I'm thankful for ...
... being able to watch friends go through having kids. It seems these days a good number of friends are starting to have families and it's encouraging watching them go through the laborious process of the nine long months and then the many sleepless nights thereafter. Then at some point there's the family and little kids are running amok.

Do you remember when . . .
Today I'm thankful for ...
... my Dad sharing his stories. There's a lot of interesting stuff about my Dad which he keeps totally private. I'm not sure why. I suspect a good number of people would love to talk about things in their lives, places they've been, people they've met. No, not my Dad. It has taken a good portion of my life for me to figure out just his general timeline. I will one day try to write all of this down...

It's laundry day
Today I'm thankful for ...
... the fact my parents live within manageable driving distance. And that they don't mind me coming over to do my laundry.
Seriously, I don't get to see them enough and we do hang out and talk. They're getting on in years and just being able to see that they're OK is really nice. I'm not saying that just because Mom is still always trying to overfeed me ("you look too thin!") and Dad usually has some magazine that he wants me to read.
