#ProjectThankful14

“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy;

 they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” 

― Marcel Proust

05.29.14 Library clean

Our library got out of control during Christmas when I used it to store gifts to wrap & wrapping paper & everything involved with that.  Then it just became the room to throw everything else in too...

& it was a mess.

I got it all cleaned up - nothing on the floor, dusted the shelves, my reading chair all cleaned up next to the window.  It's my beautiful room again.

Now, if I could only find time to spend in there.

05.30.14 Veggie Option

We went to O'Charley's & I usually get sides & a side salad (They have the BEST apple cider vinaigrette dressing - EVER) ... but I happened to look & they had a new black bean burger.

OH.MY.GOSH! It was delish.

Avocado on it, with pico de gallo, cheese, tomato, on a wheat bun.

Ricky wanted to go back the next day so he could get one himself.

I told the waitress I wanted to hug her when I saw a vegetarian option.

05.31.14 Peach Green Tea & a good book

I hardly get a lot of time where I can sit down for awhile & just enjoy a book...

have actually been missing that (remember my first picture)

So I am VERY thankful that I had the time to do it on Saturday

... a good book & a good drink helps...

I would have stayed in my book room, but add on a beautiful day & I have to sit outside

06.01.14 Handmade Postcard

I got this in the mail... a handmade post card from a fellow blog friend.

I love it.  First of all, because its a fun surprise in the mail.... something that doesn't happen often anymore... & second, she actually drew & painted it.  I could frame it & have an original piece of art in my house now too.  

06.02.14 Windy Day

I was going out at lunch to meet Ricky, but parking became an issue & I couldn't meet up with him.

So I ended up going somewhere else & had a 'car lunch'... I thought it was going to be a hot & humid day...

& it turned out to be a cloudy day & the wind was blowing the whole time 

so with windows down, it was just such a wonderful lunch.

06.03.14 Hair Day

Yes, you'll probably see this same "Thankful" every 6 weeks,

but I am truly thankful every time I come out with straight hair, that smells like a scent from heaven

... glad I got this picture. I went home & worked out & the sweat frizzed it right up.

06.04.14 Missed Spills

I never like to keep my camera around anywhere that things can spill on it. I'm actually very paranoid about my cameras.  & I'm linking up tomorrow for a cool Friday post (come back & check it out) so I had my camera with me & sit it down for just a second.... & wouldn't you know, I spill my sparkling water.

NOOOOO!!!!!!

But luckily, the can went the other direction & spilled away from the camera.

And I jerked my camera up so no damage was done.

If it got wet, I would have cried like a baby

... for days....weeks...

What are you thankful for this week?
