Earlier this month The Blended Blog offered a Linkup to post the following
I missed the linkup that day, but thought it would be appropriate to share my “Things You’re Thankful For” answers today.
Here they are:
1. A New Friend
One particular person that I am thankful to have befriended this year comes to mind…
Wendy
I’ve got your back… Buddy!
2. Something Shiny
While I am thankful to own a car for all the practical reasons, this particular car has been exceptionally fun to own. Because he has not been the one to enjoy driving the new family car in the past, I encouraged LB to buy it for himself last year. 
He has thoroughly loved cruising in this beautiful vehicle, and I have enjoyed it too.
3. Someone Unexpected
Three years ago, at the Thanksgiving dinner table, it was announced that we would have a new family member join us the following July. 
This little girl tugs at my heart strings in a way that I didn’t know possible.
I’m thankful for the opportunity to love her.
4. Something Ordinary
Well.
Driving to work, I see these little guys everyday. They’re about as ordinary as it gets. I’m thankful when I see them make it safely across the street.
5. A Person you’ve known for a long time
Gina
This picture was taken a long time ago, but I’ve known Gina even longer. She is my younger sister and the first friend I ever had. Every girl needs a sister who is a friend. I’m thankful for mine.
6. Somewhere you go every day
Work
Despite the fact that I do not relish the commute to work, it is the one place that I go every weekday. My motivation is the paycheck I receive and I can truthfully say that I am thankful for that!
7. Someone who has taught you something
Mama
She has taught me more than anyone else. I am thankful to have been raised by such a sweet, generous, loving, godly example.
8. A faraway place
Vermont
My Daddy loved Vermont in the winter. He taught me to ski on the Toll Road in Vermont. I hope to get back there someday.
9. Something that is saving your life right now
The Weekend
Because beginning Friday night until Monday morning…
I DON’T HAVE TO TALK ON THE PHONE!
10. Someone you see every day
LB
And I am extremely thankful for him!
He is especially handsome in the fall!
11. Something you enjoy doing
shopping
And I do it every chance it get!
12. A Special Lady
Laurie
She is a precious lady with a kind heart. I’m thankful that I can call her my friend.
13. A Special Place
Home
This is where I like to be! SO Thankful for home!
14. A Special Gentleman
My nephew Clay
While I am thankful for each member of my family, Clay (center) told my Mama that he promised my Daddy that he would take care of her. He does a wonderful job, and I’m thankful for him.
15. Something warm
Elvis
My lap cat keeps me warm while we sit in the living room every night. He is very patient with me when I want to snuggle and he welcomes me home when he greets me at the door. I am thankful to have such a sweet little kitty.
I am Thankful to have SO MUCH to be Thankful for!
