THANKFUL THURSDAY

 Thankful Thursday and the Rest of the Story ... 


I am so very thankful for my family and friends.

This last week I had two wonderful phone conversations with friends that I haven't seen or talked to in a very long time.

Conversations like those fill up the tiny empty spots in my life.  This is not meant to be a downer or Poor Me.  We all have spots in our lives that aren't quite full because we miss those friends.  I also had some great text "talks" with family.  I love when we can still keep in touch when their lives are really busy.

I am also thankful that Dave and I had enough energy to be out in the backyard and get some of our bushes trimmed.  Took us a few hours because of the "Time Outs" but it did get done, with no ill effects.

Akk ... for some reason I can't download my photo of the bushes now.  If it comes up later I will try to insert it.

Yay, finally did it.  Those bushes don't look like any big deal, but they were completely overgrown and blocking the walkway on both sides.  The 2 bushes in front of the windows were literally trying to send their vines into the windows.  Seems like there is always something to take control of around here !



Now on to "The Rest of the Story"  WORDLESS WEDNESDAY



The picture of the Footsie Wootsies was taken at the California State Fair a few years ago.  Those things were all the rage then.  After walking around for hours in 100+F. temperatures the vibrators always had a steady line.

Did we ever use them?  Nope, but whenever we were tired we always talked about wishing we had a Footsie Wootsie at our house ... 😃😁

I'm always glad when I peak your interest with my Wordless Wednesday posts.

Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

Those are wonderful truths.
Glad you got the bushes done. I know it feels good and you will enjoy walking through there now.
I never heard of footsie wootsies. I'm thinking they didn't have them in Mich!
