Thankful Thursday & Happy Day 20



Better late than never, I hope! I'm linking up with Rebecca Jo @ Knit By God's Hand for Thankful Thursday.

This week I am thankful...

** for a wonderful birthday this past Saturday that didn't wrap up until today. I'm so late getting to this because I spent the day with friends. We went to Pittsburgh (and beyond) to go shopping in all the girly decorating stores, where I got some cute fall decorations. Then we enjoyed a really late lunch (early dinner?) at The Springfield Grille in Mars. Yep, you read that right...Mars. They treated me for my birthday. I had red shrimp scampi...not quite diet friendly, but I've been good so I let myself have it. This one also counts as my Day 20 bit of happiness.

** for a take-out order of the world's best hummus to enjoy at home. (They won't give us the recipe, but did tell us there are artichoke hearts in it.)

** for the sweet innocence of children and dogs and the joy they bring the rest of us.


** for amazing weather all week. Sunny and upper 70's with low humidity. Not great for swimming, but really nice for everything else!

** for a new Legacy planner and a diet journal.

** pumpkin-spice season is gearing up. YUM!

** for the comfy rocker Tim got me for my birthday. Love sitting in it...it just hugs my back like a glove.

** as always, for each one of you!
