THANKFUL THURSDAY

 Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful for the amazing sunset we had the other evening.


It was like the entire sky was on fire.  I'm so glad I got out of my easy chair and went outside to see it.

I am also so very thankful for the safety features that finally were put in our home.

You all figured out my Wordless Wednesday.

This is "my" "guest" bathroom with new grab bars in the step into short tub.

I only use the shower though.  I could never sit down in that tub and get up again!


This is our master bath which Dave has claimed.
It is a double shower stall.


Guest bathroom grab bars.


The two gentlemen that came to install the equipment were just wonderful.  They were from  The Placer County Independent Resource Services.  These pieces and the work done was all free of charge to us as seniors through a grant.

They worked hard and cleaned up so nicely too.  The guy that did my bathroom asked if I had some cleaner that he could use.  He said he had been walking around in the tub area and wanted to clean it for me.  Talk about a win/win.  I didn't have to get on my knees and scrub that thing!  I could have kissed him for doing that job for me.

We are so thankful for the security and safety the bars provide and for there being no cost to us.

An interesting sidelight was finding out that they both attend the church we used to go to.  Blessings all around.  They are volunteers and don't get paid for their time and effort.  Such servants hearts ... 

Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

This is so wonderful!!!! I was not even able to get into the tub many years ago, so we had the tub taken out and just a walk-in shower installed. We have a lot of grab bars as well. But Phil still has to steady me while drying off. I know you are loving this! So Dave has the bathroom with the tub, and you have the walk-in shower? Your sky photo is gorgeous!!!
