T.G.I.F.! and Thank goodness I made it to the keyboard! It's been a great long week and the gratitude has been piling up. Here's the short list
- Friends and people determined to be your friend despite what little you have to offer in return
- French projects
- Bosses
- Christmas Wreaths
- Suction cuppy things and a cranky old principal who shared her fail proof trick of ever so lightly greasing the suction cuppy thing with cooking oil. The suction cup sticks like cement and will hold an elephant.
- Outdoor recess
- School dances
- City Transit
- Noodles
- Tiny
Oranges - Family feuds and the healing they facilitate
- Skating
- Coat hangers
- The price of a coffee
- Winter Coats and the 50 % off sale that made buying one not so painful
