I wrote this yesterday Saturday Nov 27,2010 'This day this hour I am thankful for my church men folk three in particular, Gene Styers, Mark Plummer and Jim Midkiff. They took their Saturday morning to come out to my leaf infested yard and move my leaves away from my house They brought their own leaf blowers and rakes. They all have homes and yards of their own but they did mine for me! Our church teaches service and they complied so well. I have so much respect and appreciation for them. My Dear Husband tried to help even with his oxygen tank on his back. He didn't do very well. He made the statement he was just lazy or he could have done it. That is NOT true he can't breath to do it. So that makes me especially grateful to the men from our church coming to help. Thanks ya'll. '
And this today
The leaves have been there for a while. My oldest son and his wife came out in June and helped with the front yard getting up last years leaves. That lasted about 3 months till more were down everywhere. We have loads of trees. But I am grateful for the trees because it cuts my light bill down far below my neighbors. Our home is all-electric so that could cause a huge electric bill. But because of my trees it is not so high. I am thankful for my trees too.

Today this hour I am thankful for indoor plumbing. I know that sounds funny to young Americans. But I was between 5-10 when my Grandmother got indoor plumbing. And since that is where my mother and I lived that while Daddy was in the Navy and mother was in college at Greensboro Womens' College aka Greensboro Teachers college now known as UNCG. that was a big deal. Getting a toilet, tub and sinks with faucets was exciting! 'Cause before that we had an outhouse, slop jar (yuk), a dry sink with a water bucket and a large galvanized tub for bathing. I know I am not that old but that was how it was. (Funny part was they had electricity through the rural co-op before my mother graduated high school in the early 1950's. LOL) But this hour I am thankful for indoor plumbing.
