Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful
I love these Weekly Photo Challenges, it gives me an easy way to "show" you what I'm thankful for. I think I may have missed the deadline for the one about Thanksgiving, of course. As described in the DPChallenge, we're to show something that is about the holiday, the time spent with family and friends, … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful
Gravy and the Wooden Spoon
Tonight my twenty-something niece is hosting her first holiday party, from the looks of what's posted on Facebook it might just be her first "grown-up" hosting. It reminds me of the time I first hosted a holiday event. I was living in Vermont in the early 90's and there were quite a few of us … Continue reading Gravy and the Wooden Spoon
Touching Thankful
You may see this as a way of abdicating my daily post responsibilities. However, I’ve been reading this blog for quite some time; I share some of the same trials and tribulations, and I find reading today’s post, I share similarities in gratitude. Please read her blog!
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough ― Oprah Winfrey
With the passing of another New England Thanksgiving, I am looking back on a year of firsts and pleasures. I am looking back on a year of endings and tragic occurrences. I am looking back and I’m finding that I am appreciative this year.
I am thankful for my life, as it is and how it has been.
I am thankful for a husband who gives more than he could ever promise, for a warm puppy to cuddle with, and a brother who creates laughter in the darkest times. I am thankful for friends who push me to be silly, nephews who say all the right things, and nieces that appreciate dancing. I am thankful for a father who taught me to…

No Need for Black Friday!
I love living, literally, down the street from Benny's Store. For those of you who don't live in Rhode Island, or nearby Connecticut and Massachusetts border towns, you will not recognize the name. Rhode Islanders know the store, which opened here in Providence in 1924, as a neighborhood fixture in many towns. According to the … Continue reading No Need for Black Friday!

Peel-a-PaLooza
Every year for more than a few, the evening before Thanksgiving some of us girls gather for a gab-fest, glass of wine, and listening to the Sound of Music soundtrack. Our purpose for getting together is to peel the vegetables for Thanksgiving dinner. How many pounds of potatoes and carrots are peeled depends entirely on … Continue reading Peel-a-PaLooza
Eight Years Ago, Today
This might be one of the easiest blog posts I've done over the 115 days I've been posting. Today is my wedding anniversary. I got married eight years ago, I was 42 years old (yes, that makes me 50 this year). We shared our wedding day with everyone in this picture. More than just that one … Continue reading Eight Years Ago, Today

Haiku, Can You? Happy Anniversary, Too!
Haiku is the weekly writing challenge at the Daily Post at Word Press. Seventeen syllables to express a thought, completely, in three lines--five, seven, five. While typically, a poem such as this is meant for describing nature, I'm putting my own spin on the challenge. I don't think I've written haiku since high school, however, … Continue reading Haiku, Can You? Happy Anniversary, Too!
