Twenty Reasons I Am Thankful This Week

This week I'm counting my blessings, two by two:


Two eyes to behold all the beauty before me

God bless them, every one!

This is *beautiful*! And has the added bonus of you in the photos!

Thank you, thank you! (So nice she said it twice.)

Wow, Karen, you are fast. Do you sleep next to the computer? Thank you, my friend.

This brought tears to my eyes. Can I forward this to my friends here in Virginia?

God bless you.

This post is surely one of the most beautiful I have read. It’s a keeper! Thank you, Diane, for the gift of you. You are a blessing to your family and to us.

PS. I am always so touched to see an on-line friend’s face for the first time! (being an extremely visual kind of gal).Thank you again for posting all of these wonderful photos!

Diane, now I finally found a photo of you. You are always taking them and therefore not to be found.
You have a beautiful family and I can’t wait to meet all of you.
Off to Cologne!
