7 and 8

I wish I had a great photo to post with my daily thanksgiving post tonight but I don't. What I am thankful for today and everyday is my mother. She is an amazing person, she says how she feels, she wears her heart on her sleeve, she has unbelievable compassion for others, she is a work horse, she loves her grand kids, she loves her children, she loves to garden, she has a weird obsession with tilling, she is so generous with her time and money, she laughs at herself, she loves to decorate for Christmas and thinks it is important to still put up Christmas lights for her grand kids to get excited about when they come over. I am happy for her that she gets to slow down here soon with all the retirements benefits kicking in and can't wait to spend more time with her.
