Fall Thanks

Well my youngest son was home for his Fall break and I made some of his favorites. Pumpkin muffins, cheesy grit casserole, chili (which he actually didn't get to eat!) , Emerile's (sp?)vodka penne, Ruth's ultimate chocolate cake. Some of these recipes I have at my reicpe blog

I am thankful for :

the cooler night weather

books on CD that help on long drives!

books on Cd to listen to while crocheting!

God's grace in times of pain

the simplicity that comes from Trusting God (how this soothes and comforts the mind)

the love of God displayed by sending His Son (especially the Christmas season as a reminder)

making something clean that was a mess ;-)

warm cuddly clothes

soft material

pictures on calendars

comfortable shoes

old familiar funny movies (like the Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Court Jester, Bringing up Baby)

the crunch of acorns as you tread on them

the neighborhood displays of fall flowers, and lights, and pumpkins etc

the historic society decorating the old house for the holidays and the tour!

the mist on the river

people walking their dogs

cats curled on front porches

clean laundry smell

the ironing done ;-)
