Lots of anticipation for the upcoming weeks

Today I'm grateful for....

Hot showers.

Playing cards with Lisa, Jess, Josh, and dad on Friday night. So wonderful to see Lisa smile and have a good time.

Staying home at Josh's on Saturday while the girls we're at their friends houses. We got take out, watched movies and laid on the couch. Soooo nice to have some down time and just relax.

The special conversations over breakfast on Sunday mornings with Josh at Edd and Maggie's place, and our new love ....wandering through the antiques store next door.

Our girls against guys game of darts Monday night. Jamie and I did really well.

That Josh's friends love hanging out with me and want me around.

Sleeping in with the girls on Monday.

Plans to see Jones on Sunday.

Plans to join Jones's painting class on Wed. nights, which means I'll see her once a week. Hopefully we wont get in trouble for talking in class :)

A fire in my fireplace making my toes warm and toasty.

Knowing that my dad will find a new job quickly and easily.

Anticipation of celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday this Saturday with the whole family including my mom's brother, John.

The big yellow full moon this evening.

Taylor is having a blast ice skating this evening with her friend Stephanie and the church group.

Josh's interest in the painting process from start to finish, his help with my sketches for my next painting.

Orange poppies, lovely lovely poppies.

Kathy's boyfriend Aaron, what a character, such a quick wit.

Getting to listen to Billy and Josh's stories about all the things they did while they were growing up. Having a ball laughing with them about the silly things they've done. Watching the two men and seeing the boy in them as they talked about their past.

Looking forward to lunch with Gail on Friday, and an upcoming ladies afternoon painting pottery.

Good things are happening for the people I love.

You my little poppy, you.
