Just a few little simple things that I love. There are so many more that I could list. It's the little things that mean so much.

Giving Thanks November 6
Today, I've spent a simple day doing regular simple things - routine, family, laundry, cooking, spending time with family. I'm thankful for simple things - all the usual things of life, the things we do every single day. I feel thankful because I know of people around me that don't have those things. My husband works with a lady about my age that has absolutely NO family. NO ONE. A home, a family, clothes that belong to my family that I wash, my hungry family that I have the privilege to cook for, ways to help my husband out here on the farm. I am so happy to have all these busy, routine things to do because it means that I have a family, a home and a wonderfully blessed life that I'm living. I feel so sorry for my husband's co-worker who has no one to wash for, no one to cook for, no one to spend the holidays with, no one to share one's hopes and dreams and children with. Simple things - that's what I'm thankful for today...

I can't imagine not having anyone in my life. I am thankful too, to have what I have.
I am especially grateful for this beautiful new granddaughter I have. She is a week old today and mom and dad left me with her while they are grocery shopping. I am loving my time with her.
The simple things are TRULY the greatest joys! I love the photos you shared, Vickie!!
WOW- those are some awesome pictures, Vickie... especially the one of the sunset. And I love the one of you and your daddy fishing... that is so sweet.
I agree with you, it must be so sad to not have anyone- I am so thankful for all my loved ones.
Beautiful pictures and a wonderful list of thanksgiving! God is Good all the time!
You've been given a wonderful life! I agree, especially about the laundry part. Every time I'm folding the laundry I take notice of how big the socks and holey jeans are getting - another indicator of how fast the kids grow. I can't imagine eating dinner at a quiet table, there has to be some noise - especially so I don't hear the sound of food being chewed. Haha. =)
Oh that all looks so fun and inviting and appetizing. Thankfulness is the key to happiness and you must be overflowing with happiness.
Thanks for sharing.
