I am grateful for the friends I DO have. I need to do a better job of letting them know how grateful I am.

I am grateful for our tulips that just began to bloom this weekend. I’ve never had tulips, so I am SO excited that they actually BLOOMED!  I am also grateful for five peony buds. My first peony plants, too – at least since childhood. I can’t wait to smell them.

I am grateful for memories of our tire swing. It was the best swing in the whole world.

And I am grateful for the time Angela, Ron and Dad were able to spend together in Washington, and grateful that they coming home today.
