G'morning!
Just for today, I'm NOT going to dwell on
... DISH Network dropping ABC-TV from their menu
... nor a certain insurance company's reluctance to honor the terms of its home warranty
... even Hurricane Alberto, who pitched a hissy fit in our driveway yesterday morning.
Nope!
Today I'm joining Rebecca Jo's Thankful Thursday klatch. Come on in, won't you? Pour a cup!
Yes. I suppose I over-reacted when I was cuddling little Grace last week and discovered a flea. Then two, three. Upon further inspection, we discovered her twin was also an unwilling host. Toto, I don't think we're in Arizona anymore.
So thankful that our grand-pup's veterinarian was able to see the girls quickly -- and didn't make me feel like an awful dog mommy!
... That our pest control serviceman made time to come out the next day for a touch-up. He never fails to calm my fears; and in fact, seems amused by my revulsion for anything that buzzes or crawls.
... Thankful for blog friends who provided links to keep our grounds relatively free of nasties. Thank you so much, Sandra and Debby!
I'm thankful for good neighbors! Because our driveway was still blocked by debris, Tom had to ferry me to my hair appointment and missed a call. Jacob's voice mail: "I noticed the tree on your wife's car, and I'm coming over with my chain saw." At least it wasn't one of the much bigger trees that line our drive!
Feeling blessed that Tom is developing friendships with members of his RC club. When the weather radio siren went off at 3:00AM he went ahead and got up. It wasn't long before I heard the unmistakable sounds of incoming texts. Another of his buds in nearby Prattville was also awake, monitoring the storm.
(Me, I'm fine staying inside, not needing to socialize with anyone except y'all -- but I've been concerned about Tom getting acclimated.)
Finally!
There's nothing fortunate about the flooding that's occurring around the state ... but I'm enormously thankful my DIL's parents are OK. By the time rescuers were able to reach them by boat, water had risen to the windows and was half-way up the refrigerator! Thank God their dog and cat were also evacuated safely, but it's feared their home, their autos and equipment will become casualties of Rice Creek. Prayers are appreciated!
As always, I'm thankful for you! Be safe!
Hugs,
Myra
