thankful - the rest

Okay, I totally bombed on keeping up with the "thankfuls" in November.  I don't know why I tried.  I knew I wouldn't keep up with it.  Remind me not to try that again.

There are so many things I'm thankful for and I think you get a good feel for those on our blog.  But here are a few pictures that I took specifically for the "thankful" thing that I thought I would share (and then I won't feel so guilty about not finishing it, right?)

A quiet Thanksgiving that didn't involve roasting a turkey or turning the oven on for any kind of food.  We had soup and snacked on apples, cheese and crackers and loved it.

People who are not afraid to mix their faith with their business.  I happened to sit at a table at Chick-fil-a under this print and noticed these signatures and verses for the first time.  One of the big reasons I love Chick-fil-a

These treats at Trader Joe's.  

This cup.  It's pink so no one else in this house will touch it.  All mine.  That means no coffee taste or smell in it.  Purely tea and hot chocolate.  Ahhhh..

This guy.  Brian always draws this guy.  Now he draws him on the iPad.  I'm wondering if the boys will draw him too.  I'm just amazed at the ability to draw. period.  I can't do it one bit.

Leg warmers.  I thought everyone was wearing thick knee high socks with their boots, but the girl at H&M showed me that they are actually leg warmers.  Really?  Back in style already?  Can't be.  That was just back in elementary school.  Guess time is catching up with me.  Oh, and right by the leg warmers at Target were......get this......slouch socks.....oh my goodness!!

This sign that allows me to park just steps away from the entrance everyday.  The only other time I've been privileged to get a special parking spot was when it said "parking for expectant mothers only", which were rare and I always thought it should say "parking for brand new moms who have to lug around a stroller, infant seat, diaper bag, purse, and, heaven forbid, a toddler"

Homemade pumpkin pie.  Yummmm.

Vanilla Coke.  I was so excited when soda finally tasted good to me again.  This and Cherry Coke are my faves.  I really need to decide that water is my fave now.  I treated myself to it after chemo, and now I'm having a hard time not "needing" one everyday.
