Thankful Thursday

On this thankful Thursday I can only repeat what I've said before. I'm so thankful God saw fit to give me such a great family. They are my rock and my life. We are all so close, not physically anymore, but in our hearts. I know if I needed any one of them, all it would take is a phone call and they'd be here. 

With this Sunday being Easter, I'm glad to report that everyone's plans have changed and they are all going to be here for dinner afterall. We will again have a full house and I'm looking forward to it. These walls have not heard noise since last Dec. 24th. 

Of course, now that means a trip to the grocery store. I'm getting the ham while the girls all bring lots of side-dishes. I also have to bake a carrot cake. I have a son-in-law that would be very disappointed if I didn't. He requests it every year. Last year we had dinner at their house and a friend of his was there. He talked his friend into trying a piece. "It's so good. You gotta taste it. She makes it from scratch." I had to laugh at the way he said that. Like he's never had one before he became a member of this family. Maybe he hadn't. 

We had the roofers here bright and early this morning. We had a new roof put on last summer and like everything else that survived the horrible winter, it got a beating. We lost a couple shingles on the highest peak. They had it repaired in about 20 min.

Until next time........
