this morning while we were having coffee, trav and i saw two deer milling around behind our house. we stood and watched them for a while talking about how thankful we are to have this backyard that overlooks a marshy-lake.
i just whipped up a loaf of really healthy and yummy banana bread in my well-stocked kitchen. and, all of the dishes will slide right into my dishwasher for their cleaning regimen while i enjoy a slice of tasty banana bread and a cup of coffee.
here i sit in my cozy living room with my laptop overlooking that beautiful view. i am warm. i am comfortable. i am dry and out of the wind.
day 4: i am so thankful for this place that we call home. for many years i longed for a place that i could cook and entertain in, a place that i wouldn't have to move from in six months, a place that truly felt like home. and, in God's grace and perfect timing, here i am. and i am so thankful...
I feel you. Home is such a blessing. I've been enjoying your month of thanks!
ReplyDeleteJulia; Spoken like a true prairie woman! My grandmother, Nellie Siebens, who is your great aunt I think, use to say, "Don't complain. You're warm and dry and have plenty to eat."
ReplyDeleteglad you along on the ride, Kerrie! :)
ReplyDeleteLaura, that sounds like something my grandmother Caryl might have said! I'll have to pass it along to my mother.
