I am grateful for 59 degF weather, cookbooks, and freinds.

About the 59degF weather forcasted today.... it needs to cool down to what's considered normal for this time of year. It's been too warm here. It's not good for the trees or hybernating animals.

Same thing going on here, too. 50º in Jan.??? Unheard of...

Today, I'm thankful for sunny corners outside a kitty can lay in and for kid giggles over the phone.

This was to have been a hard winter - long and cold, but it's been anything BUT!
We have some snow in little bits, but mostly just brown grass!
Yesterday it was 15c = 59F.......!!

How odd! It is 61 degrees here and we are in the southernmost part of our state, just a hop, skip and a jump from the Florida line.
Today I am very thankful seacanepain didn't have a box big enough to ship my Fenny-dog to Timbuktu. :-) And, that we can start planting things inside for transplanting outside in spring. ~N~

well, it's not the long hard winter that was predicted for us, for sure!

It was a surprise to me when I learned gardeners in this area welcome a little real cold. It means a smaller insect population in summer. Of course, 20 degrees F. is considered "real cold." :-)
Today I am thankful for a productive day. (Jim)

Sweet Pea and Rocky-dog

Today is my son's birthday . So thankful to have him all these years . He's my best friend .

Susan, I have two high school teaching certifications and I would have given any student with those answers a 100% myself! :-)
============================================================================================
Thankful for the continued mild weather. Might portend bad things for next Summer, but I'll take what I can get right now. LOL

Thankful my littlest dog is beginning to trust being around my feet. Pretty sure she was kicked a lot before I got her. Now, I can at least shuffle by her backward when she is eating and she will stay put. And she lets me hold the door open while she goes by. The first few years, I had to leave it and stand way back out of the way or she wouldn't go in or out.

Thankful to have my friend Shelley. She has saved my sanity more times than I care to count--all the way from New Jersey, no less.

Debra - I'm thankful there are people like you who will take an abused animal and show it what true love & trust are.

Glad there are people who take animals in. Grateful for weather radios even the ones that buzz and beep on everything. Grateful for seed catalogs.

Today I'm thankful for the stories of Robert J. Sawyer. I've liked everything I've read by him so far. (Jim)

I'm thankful that I figured out how to download some e-books to my new e-reader, and I can bring it with me anywhere I go.
I'm also thankful that I can read, when so many cannot........ I've been given the choice to take schooling when some girls are not able to, in their country.

How anyone could have hurt her is beyond me. She is tiny and fragile and endearing. A favorite of the vet's staff and each one wants to take her home, including the vet, herself. She is wiry short hair, except for a three inch long ridge from the back of her head along her spine to her tail, which will stays upright for a bit if shaped. One of the techs ALWAYS has to give her a triceratops mohawk before we can leave.
==============================
thankful i remembered the library DVDs were due today and that I made myself get dressed and take them back. a buck a day fine for each would add up! :D

Durn , Debra , anyone would love that sweetie , and if I didn't have my limit , would kick and scream for the chance to be her mommy .

Thank you, Sally, she really is a sweet dog. After the TIA spell in December, I decided it was time to formalize arrangements in case I become too incapacitated to care for them. Willie will go to my sister and Zuzu will go to the vet. The vet will decide if Zuzu goes home with her or if she will let one of the techs take her. Glad I won't be around for THAT discussion! ROFL
====================================================================================
Thankful my sister is feeling happier.
Thankful for tulip bulbs.
Thankful for Portobello mushrooms (making a poor woman's stroganoff today).

Today, I'm thankful for Cirque du Soleil.

I love Cirque du Soleil! Did you get to go to a show recently?

Tam

Thankful for having a job........

Tammy, no but my one of my brothers' is a collector of the DVDs. I would love to see them live!

Today, I'm thankful for unexpected checks that come in the mail.

I am thankful for the day-long soaking rain and that it is too warm to freeze into ice.

I am thankful for Ramen noodles.

I am reeeeealy thankful for grocery store floral bouquets marked down to a dollar!

Today I'm thankful for Monster energy drinks.
Other freelance colleagues who give advice.
The ease of making teriyaki meat buns. ~N~

I am thankful for pretty colored paints,floor covering that looks like rock,and magazines, any of them, Brooms and mops to clean with,a warm cat and dog to snuggle in my lap.Life is Good!
Vickie

Thankful for digital cameras .

I'm thankful I didn't have an accident on the way to work.........
We haven't had much snow this year, but it dumped "Big Time" this morning, and I did a "180" on the "off-ramp" from one major road to another. Suddenly I was facing the car behind me! I managed to back up and turn myself around, and the person behind/in front of me waited until I was facing the right way before coming too close!
I overshot my next turn off, and got a little past where I needed to turn, but got myself to work safely and with minutes to spare before I started work. I'd left extra early because of the snow and slippery conditions I'd heard about on the radio.

Thank you, Lord!

Eeeeeek! So glad you're okay!

I slid off the road once where there was a big canal I could have gone into. I didn't and by the time I got pulled out of the snow, 6 more cars had joined me. No one was hurt or went into the canal.

I'm so glad no one was hurt!

When my boss had hit a patch of black ice a month ago it was "go into the ditch or hit an 18-wheeler". He went into the ditch! He got a few stitches, but otherwise was fine. It was the company truck, so that was ok too - needed replacing after being 4 years old, they said......

We need ALL of you , be extra careful !

Guardians working overtime today, Susan. (hug)

===========================================================================

Thankful today for

Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwiches
Restaurants
Laundromats. I don't have to use one at the moment, but many is the time I've thanked GOD they were around. Used to have to handwash laundry for six and it is NOTNOTNOT my favorite occupation! LOL

Thankful for google! I made a delicious meal for dinner after googling the dish I had out on Sun.

Tam

Glad you are okay, Tallulah.
Today I’m thankful to have arrived home in time to save Fenny-dog from an Alfred Hitchcock waking nightmare. I don’t know what she did to antagonize the birds, but there was a huge flock of little brown birds chasing her around the garden. She dashed under my truck as soon as it stopped moving. I had a difficult time convincing her all the mean, little birds were gone and that it was safe to come out. She carefully scans the sky before venturing outside since the experience. LOL. (Jim)

Sorry wrong login, ah the joy of sharing computers.

Nice to know I'm not the only "imperfect" one here .

I love the story Jim!

Digger - no luck finding the WW booklet. Not in the spot I thought it'd be in. Sorry.

Today I'm thankful for a bright sunny Jan morning.
Tam

Thankful for a working car, sunny days in January, and PJs.

Every time I get stuck in rush hour traffic, I remember that I have the luxury TO get in traffic, via having a car when others do not....

I really do think simplifying the Amargia Project to one DG account would be a good idea. I used "Contact Us" to pose the question of how to change a User name. I was thinking of just going to "Amargia." There has been no response. Does anyone know a better avenue into DG to get answers?
Today I am thankful for a bright and sunny day after a wildly stormy night. k*
