Thanks, Debera ,He was everything I always wanted my brother to be .Both are (were) electronic wizards tho .Hugs

Debra, is'nt it amazing how those dogs always know when we are sick and let us know they care. Even my DD,s dog stays beside me when i'm sick at their house.Happy for you too.
Gatorade-yuck
Carrie, Can you ask her to stretch your legs everytime she comes.Sounds like it could be important
Am thankful for Geraniums. One of mine has a beautiful bud forming.

Takes a long time, Vickie, but we did mini stretching today.

I am thankful for the Wii game my mother got me for Christmas. I think I was thankful for it before, but I am still thankful. It gets my blood pumping and that's good.

I am thankful for all those brave young men and women who go into our military to protect us. Here is a power point presentation about a Native American honored after his death in 2007 by both Native American and the Marines. I hope this comes through (as I do not understand computers enough to know if it will work or not).

Well that did not work, so I found it on YouTube, let's try that:

I am thankful my sister and her grandchildren are safe this evening.

I am thankful for online linens outlet clearance sales. Not only am I addicted to all-cotton comforter/duvet covers, quilts, and matelasse coverlets, but the prices were so low I also was able to get several items each for the local children's emergency shelter and the women's shelter. It's been coooooolld lately.

Thankful that the Zepherine Drouhin rose delivered today only had a LITTLE black spot and a LOT of healthy-looking new growth.

I am thankful for the power of Karma. What goes around does come around if you can just hang in long enough. :-)

I am thankful to have the DVD of: "Sinbad: Where U Been?"

I am thankful for Chicken Taco Seasoning Mix. (Works really well with ground beef. LOL)

I am thankful for those who designed PlantFiles. It is the easiest plant database there is to use. And, of course, to those who contribute comments and zip code reports. ~N~

A computer that can store my thousands of pictures and programs that can make them look like I know what I'm doing.

Debra , I can see there is a story behind your last posts . I'll send a tiny prayer your wayfor karma . Hugs , friend .

Sally, yes, and thank you. :-)

==================================
Today, I am thankful that the Bears did not win. Traffic is bad enough around here normally, with some of the rudest drivers in America (officially, even). Then add a Super Bowl game and things will already be chaos without throwing a presidential motorcade through the middle of it!

Thankful the loaf of sliced French bread I found this afternoon that had been hiding in my freezer for the last 15 months is still good! Goes with the spaghetti sauce that's been simmering on the stove for three hours. Nnnnummmmmyy

Thankful I got outside in the mild air for a bit today before the winds turned and started blowing from the North. Saw that the Tulipa Burgundy are coming up. :-) I am sooooo excited about all the new stuff in the ground for this year.

Spring is on the way...

I am thankful that finaly somebody replied to my request for rabbit manure. This lady from Craiglist said she has a lot of it, she raises rabbits for show. I hated to tell her that we used to raise them but my husband used to put them in the freezer. That is why I stopped naming the little ones. I learned to cook Cajun rabbit, over white rice, it taste like chicken.Also thanks for the advice from Daves growers of using rebbit pellets as firtilizer instead of alfalfa tea, it is a smelly thing. I ordered 3 clematis and I hope to get good at growing them.

Hugs Debra, Dallas is a an unfriendly place to drive. But ETEX was pretty good.Longview more so than Tyler.Of course i shopped more in Tyler than Longview.Figures huh?
Always do love the surprises that comes from the bottom of my freezer.

We used to grow rabbits and rabbit litter. Good stuff. I did get tired of rabbit after awhile tho.
I'm thankful for diet cokes. My blood sugar and bp shot up and i'm filling myself up with diet cokes. Also trying to stay moving around more. Am also thankful i caught it as soon a i did.
Vickie

Kiseta , I see the manure listed once in awhile in the Georgia Farmers bulletin . I'm also intrested in having the ladies name , please , because all of them are so far from me in Dahlonega

I am thankful my lunch went well, salmon patties and roasted red potatoes, some of thise church members the only time they have somebody to eat with is at church. I am glad to be able to provide this service and make a living at itit. Hi Digger, I just picked up about 150 lb of rabbit manure from this lady. Very nice young woman, but she is going for a long vacation, maybe 2 months. Her friend in Appling Ga, has also rabbits and 3 horses, will call me end of this week to see if I can pick up some from here. I will ask her if I can pass her nama and # to anybody, How far is Dahlonega? Also if you did't know, we have a place called Bricko Farms, they use cricket castings, and have lot of mixes, one is compost toast, that you mix in with soil. Some stuff they deliver by truck load, you can pick up with truck, also some are bagged. Last Summer when I went to see some of they products , I aseked them how can you work in this smell, He said what smell, it smells like moneny to me. Brickos # is 706-722-0661.

Dahlonega is 60 miles N of Atlanta. The ones I saw were way south of Atlanta .
I know what the man ment about the smell of money . Used to pass a cattle feeder farm on the way to my brothers . His wife would drive around to Buffalo Gap to go home from Abilene Tex to their home on San Angelo highway .

Today I am thankful for:

Not falling face-first into the walkway pavers when I sprained my foot this morning. :-D

Kettle-cooked sea salt potato chips

Gene Roddenberry, Isaac Asimov, and Rod Serling

Debra, I'm sorry you sprained your ankle. A BUMMER!!!!
i'm thankful for an inch of daffodil greenleaves i spotted today,also a small green caterpiller under some leaves.
A prediction of 50* temps by Friday. YES!!!!!!

Today,I'm not going to post one or a few blessings . I'm going to spend the day Trying to count them all .Hugs.

I am thankful today...

...for gel ice packs

...for Mike Connors' Mannix

...for wooden clothes pins

tonight I am thankful for Dave's Garden, this is my escape from all that politics, and empty words. I think socializam falowed me cross the ocian.I couldof just stayed home 41 years ago. Thank God, it is changing once in a while. Later on I will thank for the Home and Garden chanel .

kiseta, we were in Atlanta over the weekend! I know it's not Augusta but it's hundreds of miles closer than I usually am! Nadine, Dave set up Plant Files, and it is indeed something to be thankful for!

"Mannix", now that is one I haven't thought of in a long time. What channel carried that? Or, did you find it on NetFlicks? I noticed they've started carrying some of the old TV shows.
I just finished a book by Orson Scott Card. Working on one by Ben Bova now. I'm thankful DW got me reading SF and I'm thankful for audio books because I can "read" while doing other things.
If we had known you were coming south, Carrie, we would have arranged warmer weather for you. :-) (Jim)

I think the show used to air on CBS. PBS had a Pioneers of Television episode this week on Science Fiction shows. Thinking about the Uhura role for Nichelle Nichols somehow got me to thinking about Mannix and Peggy. Weird, huh.

Today I am thankful for:

Ice cream on a stick

Pickup trucks

Turkish glassware

I am thankful for Kiseta's comments on politics yesterday.

I am thankful for Debra's sunny outlook and thankfulness.

I am thankful for the lovely butterfly in the garden today dancing in the hose spray.

I am thankful for some new green leaves and petunias that did not give up even on those nights in got into the 20's (course our days have been from 50-80 degrees for last couple months).

Turkish glassware - do you mean those little glass Turkish coffee cups?

Turkish glassware...

http://tradersandcompany.net/category/6855289641/1/Turkish-Glassware.htm

That looks like the carnival dishware they put in detergent boxes in what, the 30's? that has since become collectable. I have some my grandmother gave me.

Specifically, Pasabahce glassware. Found a single short drinking glass at a thrift store about 15 years ago, liked that pattern, and it has been my favorite glass since. Just this one glass, but I don't need more than one. :-)
============================================
Today I am thankful for:

Hot dogs (It's late for me, I'm hungry, and tired. LOL)

My friend Shelley's survival of the Northern New Jersey winter. She said they got another 10 inches of snow overnight. God Bless Texas! :-D

Lawrence Welk and those champagne bubbles. He was on every Saturday night at Aunt Helen's house. Steel bristle curlers on her greying head, a lit cigarette in the bean bag ashtray on the TV tray next to her, Pete the cockatiel over her shoulder, and Uncle Augie getting up from the recliner to go out to the breezeway and listen to the ball game. My young heart was forever hers because she kept Fudgsicles in the freezer just for us kids.

Oh yes, I like that one very much!

I am thankful today for Lands' End fabulous return policy and that my husband (after shoveling me out and taking me to see my therapist this morning is finally coming home (only to be back at work at 5 am tomorrow)).

I am thankful that my daughter shoveled AGAIN after I was plowed in. She is truly the son he never had (joke, as he has three DS of his own).

Today, I am thankful for a niece who will drive 15 miles out her way, twice a day, to feed 3 cats and gives meds to one cat for several days, including one day in a snowstorm.

I'm thankful for the Brittish show "Last of the Summer Wine."on PBS.
Kinda like reliving the 50,s
They've also brought back "Ironsides."Which i like.
Also thankful for sunshine.
Vickie

After hearing what the weather is like in other parts of the country, I am thankful for sunshine and warm temps (Slowly creeping up to 70 by Monday.)
My grandfather introduced me to Big Band. I like it! ~Nadine~

I am thankful for the wonderful doctor I spent time with today and
that today it is sunny and warm - 40 F.

I thank God for giving us a good father who would of been 95 yesterday. He raised 4 kids alone strugled with my mothers mental illness, and stayed a wounderful man till the end. Also thank God that non of us kids have mother's illness, everybody said we had 50% chance of having it. God is good all the time

Good news, Carrie.

Me, too, Nadine. :-)
=================================================
Today, I am thankful that it warmed up to 75 degrees. Walked over every planted section of my yard, "Are you coming up yet, are YOU coming up yet?" I wanted to digdigdig, plantplantplant. Not yet...but soon.

I am thankful that I have healthy hair (even if it is thinning in front these days)

I am thankful to have been able to make my sister happy, today on her 53rd birthday. But I'm still the oldest!!!!

I am thankful for the garden center clearance racks at the big box store. :-)

I am thankful for the warm weather through tomorrow--short road trip with sister and we will be on a single-minded mission. Cha-ching! LOL

Tonight, I am thankful for TCM: Bad Day at Black Rock at 7:00PM, followed by Dirty Dozen at 9:00PM. Where's my popcorn?

75 degrees! It is warm and sunny but that means 40, for which I am thankful.

Today, I am thankful for antacids and free online games.

Carrie, if it helps any, the low come Wednesday is supposed to be about 15 and the high not above freezing for a couple of days.

Kwanjin, i like Pogo! LOL

New Zepherine Drouhin. Hope I can keep this one going.

We're getting another blizzard this week. The snow plows (and by now every truck, ATV, anything that can be hooked up to a plow is called a snow plow) are getting to be really pushy drivers - they ALWAYS have right-of-way.

I am thankful we have so many folks willing to work the extra hours.
