Day 29...Family

I am also blessed with a great new family from my husband's side. I am the only child but now have three sisters! LOVE IT!!!

Day 28...Leftovers

Today I am grateful for leftovers!

Whewwww weeee I made a White Turkey Chili last night with my leftover Turkey.

I put the turkey legs in the crockpot and let them get good and tender and shredded all the meat.

Then I used Williams Sonoma's recipe I found on Pinterest for the chili.

Sorry don't have a picture of the finished product. But I promise it was great! :) lol

Two more days of gratitude. Have you been participating? What are you grateful for today???

Day 27...Books

Today I am grateful for books!!!! I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee reading.

It's nothing like curling up on the couch with a blanket and a good book. If it's stimulating, I could probably read it in a night. And the last couple of months I have been doing just that. A good book on one evening. LOVE IT!!!

What's the latest book you've read?

And what are YOU grateful for today?

Day 23... Sales

Today I am grateful for Sales!!!!!! Love a good sale. I actually hate shopping but love finding a great deal. Go figure. Well today I went out in the Black Friday madness. Didn't find too many great deals. But I did enjoy being amongst the people and great deals. Lol

This is where the term "Black Friday" came from...

The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.^[4][5] Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or are "in the black".^[4][6]

Did you shop for Black Friday?

Day 21...Holidays

Today I am grateful for Holidays. They bring family and friends together. Even if you don't get with them on a regular basis, you are going to make sure you see them for the Holidays.

I almost thought I wanted to do nothing. But I'm looking forward to seeing people I haven't seen in a while.

Praying everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and get to spend it with those you love.

Day 16...My Car

We are over the hump!!!!

Today I am grateful for my car!! I remember when I got my first car it seems like I always thought at any moment it could break down. LOL Then my senior year in college I got my first BRAND NEW car...Actually got the best deal I could afford so it wasn't something I really wanted. But with only 3 miles, we drove off the lot and instantly I fell in love! LOL!!!

My NeNe

The day I let her go :(

Then even my brand newwwwwwwww baby started giving me trouble. Well at this point she was almost 10 years old (but hey...who's counting??). So after 5 years of no car note I decided it was time to step my game up!

Now at this point in life I decided actually my husband decided I needed to get something I wanted and not just something I could afford. Within two days, I found myself driving off the lot with my new baby...

Avy AKA Lonnie (depends on who I'm talking about her to LOL)

The day she came home with me :)

So now I have a new love. Until the next time...hopefully 10 years from now!! HA!!

Day 7...Proud to be an American

Today I am grateful that I live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! We have more freedom that we even know (or sometimes need lol). It has truly been a wonderful experience voting and seeing that my vote counts. I know that our country is not perfect, but I at least hope we are on our way to making it better.
