Day 20. Giving Thanks

Start at Day 1, everything will make much more sense if you do.

We sat around our dinner table tonight with good friends and I realized that our home is surrounded by some really incredible people, our neighbors. This Sunday's "Giving Thanks" is dedicated to them.

Thank you Kevin for your endless hours of help from spreading gravel, to landscaping our yard to helping with drywall in basement. You are an awesome friend. Thank you Sandy for letting Kevin spend so much time over here in the last two days and for your concern for me. Thank you for the emergency Lucy/Lily watch in the past. Thank you for the amazing bleeding heart and my unique sundu too. We are so lucky to have you as neighbors.

Thank you Jeff and Sandy for embracing our "get out of the house" visits and for feeding us when I had no motivation to cook (Sandy, your homemade chili was incredible). Jeff and Nicole, thank you for accompanying us and entertaining a crabby Lucy at Family Fun Night so I was able to dance with Lily while we were there. Thank you for being our friends and great neighbors.

Thank you Megan and Syah for your company this week. Your visits really mean a lot to me and Lucy.

Thank you Wayne and Lisa for always keeping a watch on our home and neighborhood. Thank you Lisa for the beautiful spring bouquet and the incredible assortment of starts from your yard last year when we were broke and I couldn't afford to buy any plants. Thank you for the bike you gave Lily. Thank you for accepting our cats into your yard and keeping them so loaded on catnip that they can't attack the birds in your bird feeders...they love you guys and so do we. Thanks for being perfect neighbors.
