My nephew is just turning five next week and he is already so good at telling time the way you mention, in this all digital age.

I hope that I can inspire others in the way I see things and approach life, too. We each have something to offer. When we accept others, we gift them, and ourselves, too.

I can't tell you how many times they are in my office facing the clock and asking me what time it is. I know everything is digital now, but that skill helps strengthen others--such as understanding fractions. Sigh.

I remember my excitement when visiting my dad's shop and seeing an electric clock with digits that rolled over instead of hands turning round!<br /><br />I totally agree about the cold drink cylinders, I live on iced tea in the summertime. Pineapple coconut juice sounds good!<br /><br />Windows, do so much, letting in light and giving us a view out, and protecting us from the elements. Stained glass ones are magical!<br /><br />Wow, you have great trash pickup service there! I wish it was that organized and helpful here. People often leave large items laying around their yards because they are too cumbersome to haul off. <br /><br />Flowers! Truly amazing the variety of shapes and sizes, and colors. I could look at flower photos all day long and never get bored! Do you have a favorite kind?<br /><br />You already know how I feel about cats, next to family and friends they are the joy of my life! And yes, a lot of work and worry, but so worth it! I enjoy how unique their individual personalities are!<br /><br />I am like you when it comes to vehicles, though Papa Bear could name you the make, model and year of nearly everyone we see! I like pretty ones (which is why it's not good for me to shop for a vehicle alone :-)<br /><br />I am so thankful for you that you were able to find a suitable replacement vase for the broken one that please Ms. GA! I know how bad Sweetie must have felt when he broke hers. <br /><br />I detest those "palmetto bugs" too! The ones in military housing were even larger as they originated in cargo sent on ships. They are creepy and dirty and into everything! I'm glad you found a treatment that works well.<br /><br />You are truly blessed that you have been able to make a good living by helping people take care of their homes, and I know they are grateful not only for your work but also for your kindness and caring. <br /><br />I love your conclusion, to be thankful for the shape your life is in is the best blessing of all, we have enough and we are doing ok! Thank you for coming to share your thankfuls at TToT each week, I appreciate you so much!

I am so impressed at how often your trash gets picked up plus that you can toss an appliance. Around here, trash removal is so expensive that people dump mattresses and things like that on the side of country roads. It really bugs me when they leave them at clothes drop off bins like they are doing them a favor. Have a great weekend!pilch92https://www.blogger.com/profile/12263559408792146826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-15373949735871420552017-07-29T07:36:36.999-05:002017-07-29T07:36:36.999-05:00Thankful I can still draw a clock.Thankful I can still draw a clock.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-82015963979081861502017-07-29T07:06:57.737-05:002017-07-29T07:06:57.737-05:00I am grateful for family members and friends.
