Thankfulness

I'm glad we, as a family, and we, as a nation, take a few moments to be thankful. I think I'm going to try to have 365 days of thankfulness posts either here or on facebook. Can't decide.

I'm thankful for family. I'm thankful to live where I do. I enjoyed balmy 70s and snow capped mountains in the space of 3 days.

I'm thankful for menopause, if that's what I'm entering. Not having periods every months has been more than delightful. It's a relief and I'm so glad. I hope the non-cycles continue!

The bell choir fundraiser went very, very well. Many of our crafts and our cookie mix in a jar sold and we had the biggest start to our fundraiser that we've ever had. The money raised goes toward paying a clinician for our spring ringing, housing that person, and other related expenses of the spring ring.

And, some photos:

This is heading north on Hwy 101 along the California coast just a few miles north of Ventura.


The reason I could take that pictures is that traffic was moving at about 10 mph. Fortunately it only lasted about 20 minutes at that pace! All the way to Santa Barbara speeds were well under the speed limits until we reached SB and had 3 lanes again. Then it was zippy.


I am thankful to have car, roads to travel, family to visit, and the means to do so!
