Thankful Five

                                         The air is cooler, the sky is darker... winter must be on it's way. 

I was just thinking of how much I have to be thankful for so I want to join in Thankful Thursday today and share with you some of my thankfulness. And, also Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday

1. First of all I am thankful for the man I was married to for 60 years. We had some bumps in the road, but who doesn't? It was a wonderful 60 years. This coming Sunday, if he had lived, we would be celebrating anniversary #67. 

2. I am thankful for my sister. She's 92. Doesn't she look great? 

3. My Mom, what can I say, she was the sweetest, most gentle person I have ever known. I lost her in 
1996. So thankful for the years she was my Mom!

4. My kiddies. I am so thankful for them. This picture was taken ages ago.. 

5. and last but not least, since I am concentrating on the people in my life that I am most thankful for. 
Leslie came along late in my life. We had five wonderful years together. 

Yep, I am feeling mighty thankful this morning.

  6. There’s always so much to be thankful for. You have known the love of two good men; your sister is beautiful and so are you; four great kids; a lovely place to live; friends, this good life itself. Thank you for sharing them all. It has reminded me to be grateful and to count my blessings instead of my complaints. Far more healthful!
