Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for more snow. I started to get that warm fuzzy feeling that spring was on its way. Thank you Mother Nature for slapping me back to reality and reminding me I live in New England and until I’m sitting on the beach, it can snow anytime (and even then it can be a crap shoot).

This is from Nemo, but every time I see a snowflake I have flashbacks and this is what I think of.

I am thankful for 50 pound bags of dog food. Alabama is so happy to see it come in the house; she knows she can stay until it’s gone. Without that giant bag, what else would I trip on when I walked through the back hallway with an overflowing laundry basket?

I admit it, I have a fat dog. I have noticed on the "weight loss" dog food they always seem to have a lab, that's a bit stereotypical (I've seen some VERY fat beagles).

I am thankful that Teddy is full of questions this morning. I wouldn’t want to be shlumpy this morning, with his rapid fire this morning how could I be? He’s keeping me sharp this morning. Everything from “Who uses coupons at Job Lot?” to “Can we bring watermelon to the beach this summer?”

I am thankful that Ted and Stella had a wonderful tea party yesterday while I was volunteering at the kids’ school. The even got to use my “Marry Dishes” (my china), had classical music, candlelight and real tea. She demonstrated her special two-pinkie method of sipping tea.

Isn't she dainty?

I am thankful I got my front hall closet cleaned out. Man was that a horror show, my back still hurts. I found four of my shoes that didn’t have a match; the match must be in the upstairs closet (that’s a nightmare for another day). Anyone want to place some wagers on how long the clean closet will last?

Someone wore my boots with the fur (wonder if they had Apple Bottom jeans on too).
