The Downey dog park

I'm thankful for the new Downey dog park. It's 5 minutes from home, and Ivan has already made several new friends. :-)

timing and placement

I keep a wooden serving tray next to my reading chair in the living room. It acts as an end table, so that I can have a place to keep my books, pens, and morning coffee. This morning I accidentally bumped into the tray and sent everything on it sprawling all over the livingroom. I'm grateful for two things -- First, that I had already removed the coffee and put it in the kitchen (no coffee stain on the carpet), and second that the water I did spill managed to soak everything that had been on the tray -- EXCEPT my cell phone, which missed the center of chaos and managed to stay dry.

Friends

I know it's been said a million times but I am so thankful for friends who have been with us for years and years and still love us.

Cross-generational friendship

I think it's time we started this up again. Afterall, Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. Can it be only two? Anyway -- We all have so much to be thankful for. In some ways it has been a difficult year, yet we are so very blessed. So. . . I thought I would post at least one thing I'm thankful for. I'd like to say I'll do one a day between now and Thanksgiving, but that may be a bit ambitious.

Today I am thankful for cross-generational friendships. I enjoyed my walk around the neighborhood with Drea, and I'm grateful for who she is.
