I'm very thankful that I live within half a block of all the amenities I could ever need...without a car, I'm learning the transit system and how much I can carry when I go shopping. I always use a back pack but may have to buy one of those "old lady carts"....
I'm very thankful for our swimming pool in this heat! and all the friends I've met there. We celebrate our birthdays by going out to dinner at the beach for fish 'n chips or the greek restaurant when it rains!
I'm so happy that your Mom is home, Abbie!! That is wonderful news!
