This year in addition to my usual listing of faith, family, food, lodging, security and quilting I am thankful for my washer and dryer. For three weeks last month I was without this luxury that I had been taking for granted. Yes, one can go to the laundromat but not every time it would be nice to throw in a load of clothes or pre-wash fabric. I just did one of those "in-between laundry days" extra loads and thanked the Lord for allowing me this type of luxury.

Well, Susan. What am I thankful for in addition to 'faith, family, food, lodging, security and quilting'? Just now I'd have to say snoring. I've gone as far as I can go with today. Before I load the coffee pot for tomorrow, I walked through our home and hear gentle snoring. There's a gentle snorfle snorting by a contented Yorkie at my feet. The others have gone to bed hours ago and I hear them softly purring too. I am thankful for all who will be staying awake to protect us so I can join the chorus. Polly

Besides echoing the aforementioned, I'd have to add" "You CAN sew again. Stop if it hurts, and no more than 20 min with 30 min rests in-between".
And more than that, that Neither of us were hurt more than we were when we got hit last month.
And that I can be a part of this quilting Guild, RCTQ. Ya'all You'all & You'n's, and My Gators are the BEST. (thinks that includes everyone)
Happy Thanksgiving! Cyberhugs and Butterfly Kisses

I am grateful to awaken each day, no matter whether it is a work day or not.

Besides the obvious food, family, etc. I'm thankful for my stash-enabling friends, because I can keep quilting now even if it's not a wise idea to by fabric. Plus the occassional quiet hours I get to quilt or read in my studio

One of the wonderful benefits that came with getting married was acquiring a washer and a dryer--the appliances, I mean (though he is quite capable of actually doing those things). A couple of years after the marriage we moved and I had to go back to using a laundromat for two weeks. It was terrible. (And that was for only two people. For a family? No wonder people at laundromats use a dozen washers at a time.)
But, back to things for which to be thankful: all the things that Susan says. And also literacy and intellectual curiosity.

I'm thankful for the almost every Friday quilting time at my house with all my quilting buddies. If it weren't for that weekly gathering, my house would never get cleaned!!

oh, and I'm also thankful that God keeps His promises based not on my goodness, but on HIS!

Right now, I'm pretty damn thankful that whatever hit me this afternoon about 4 o'clock finally died down at about 9. I spent most of the late afternoon in the bathroom.
Do you know what it's like to hear your timer going off because your pie is done and you can't do anything about it??
Thankfully nothing burned, all the stuff I wanted to get done, got done and I feel a lot better. Which is good, cause I got 13 people coming for dinner tomorrow.
It may have been the handful of pecans I ate while making pecan pie earlier. Bad Cindy!
Cindy> I'm going to bed because I'm exhausted. Without sewing a stitch. This is the first day since I can remember that I haven't touched a sewing project. I don't care if it's midnight when I get done with whatever, I gotta sew for a little while. It's take the place of all the reading I used to do.
