typing on myh phone, while it was next to be listed as a grateful item, is tricky... I lost my place and could not get back. So, I am grateful that the two days without a/c were the two nicest days here. Cool, breezy, heavenly. I am grateful that our tv did not explode like it could have. And that I can type and publish from my phone. Mostly, I am grateful that of all the things that could have happened, the worst of it is not so bad. Annoying, yes, but terrible? Not so much.

I am also grateful that my husband and I got a date out tonight, and although we came home a bit earlier than planned (both of my kids were far off kilter today/tonight), we had a wonderful running conversation that did not once get interupted by anything more than our mouths being full of good food and great wine! And for this, I am going to say my thank-yous, and go to bed!
