Day #99 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful my grandma's follow-up appointment went well. Today was a long day, but it wasn't bad. It started off with taking Grams to her surgical follow-up appointment. The visit was a lot quicker than we expected it. Last time was about two hours, but this one was … Continue reading Day #99 in A Year of Thanks

Day #98 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful my grandma's eye surgery went well today.

After leaving the eye surgery … Continue reading Day #98 in A Year of Thanks

Day #93 in A Year of Thanks: I’m thankful for Watchman River Tom. I absolutely love watching Watchman River Tom on YouTube.

Day #92 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful for our heating oil and furnace company. This one may sound a bit odd to be thankful for, but I'll tell you why it has my attention today.

Day #91 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful for my new Yamaha YPT-210 keyboard. A while ago, when the piano/keyboard course came out on Duolingo, I thought I'd give it a try.
