Day 13

Wow... I actually forgot about blogging yesterday. It was such a calm, peaceful Saturday (in spite of the hurricane) that I just went to bed without even thinking of TI30. I guess that will be #1 on my list for the day...

Thankful in 30
1. Calm, peaceful Saturdays when I don't have a thing to do. Although I was supposed to be in Henderson, that trip got cancelled thanks to Ike so I spent most of the day Saturday (after sleeping in since I had a late night of cleaning on Friday) doing more cleaning, getting organized and watching tv. Do you know how rare that is for me to be able to do that? I honestly can't remember the last Saturday I had nowhere to be or nothing to do. Thank goodness for catch up days-I even made oatmeal cookies. YUM :)

2. Family is family wherever you go. I heard from a cousin Friday that I saw at the reunions in July and it was so good to hear from her. I'm thankful that even though we may not see each other but once a year, we're family 24/7/365 and I love them!

3. Oatmeal cookies are my favorite & I (with the help of Betty Crocker) made an incredible batch. They are just plain oatmeal without raisins or any extras but I do love oatmeal chocolate chip & I should have put some of my many, many pecans in these. They are so yummy & I swear, I could eat the whole bowl of dough without ever baking one cookie!

Since I'm behind, I'll go for now. But I'll try to stay caught up as much as I can. Hope everyone will continue to remember those affected by Hurricane Ike in their thoughts & prayers.

Blessings,
B
