I'm thankful for/that:
  1. Sis 3's birthday is today. Happy birthday!

  2. The roof is almost done. I just have to figure out what to do with the water damage that occurred while I was lobbying to have the roof fixed.

  3. Homemade biscuits. I've got the oven heating up to bake a batch right now.

  4. Changing seasons.

  5. Annual church hay ride tomorrow. I missed last year's because of Sophia.

  7. I finally made new curtains for the dining room. It's so bright in there now that I keep thinking that I left the light on.

What are you thankful for?
