1. I am thankful to Zoe at Zoe Rewritten for sending me a shiny new journal that I won in her contest! It was a fun contest to enter. Be sure to check our her future contests.:) Now the challenge is to fill it up with writings, ideas, and musings.
2. I am thankful my mom is making a recovery from her hospital stay. It turned out to be relatively minor issue, but she still stayed in the hospital for two days.
3. We attended a special holiday program today for our area Meals on Wheels. We got to ride on an old fashioned hay ride with our grands and their mom our daughter, Stephanie. Great times.
4. Tomorrow, we are having a special service at church. We get to dress in our our favorite team colors: either for Clemson or the Unversity of South Carolina. They play next weekend. This game is like our state’s Super Bowl. Bragging rights are on the line. We will celebrate the big game too with a cookout after church.
5. My youngest grandson turns 1 on Wednesday. He had a tough year with hospitalizations from not thriving the first few months. He still weighs under 15 pounds.
6. I could add today’s post to the Awww Cute Monday’s link up. Lots of cute grans everywhere. My husband and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
7. Two blog hop organizers picked me as a guest host this week. First, Wednesday, I co-hosted at Mommy Only Has Two Hands Hump Day Hop. I hope you will hop by and join the hop next Wedneday. It was lot of fun.
8. Then on Thursday, Katherine from Katherine’s Corner invited me to co-host the Thursday’s Favorite Thing hop. More than 200 posts were linked up on this hop. You should definitely put it on your weekly calendar.
9. The Write Nonfiction in November challenge is almost over. I am enjoying writing, but I will have to have more than 30 days to complete my series on Parent Involvement in Education. I had so much more to share. I knew it was going to be a challenge to post everything I have written. I am not even half way done with the book itself.
I am thankful that I will be able to work on it more and have another month to post about it in either March or April. Two month-long challenges are set. In March, Dana with the Two Writing Teachers’ Slice of LIfe Tuesday link up has issued the Month-Long Slice of Life Story Challenge which I plan to join. Then in April I will rejoin the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge.

What a sweet picture! Family is, indeed, the best reason to be thankful. I hope your one-year-old grandson doesn’t have any more trips to the hospital! Thank you for linking up with the Sunday Parenting Party!
Good to hear that you mom is on the upswing.
The journal is awesome and your grandson is pure sugar!
Glad your Mom’s getting better – that’s super news 🙂
YAY! What a beautiful journal you won – congratulations 😀
Your grandson is adorable. I hope he continues to make progress and put on weight. He looks VERY happy in that lovely photo 🙂
Im glad it arrived! What adorable kiddos!!!
always glad to see the ‘rose-cursor’ ! a lot of writing it sounds like… to think of the years in school I was determined to avoid learning grammar and composition! (knock myself on the side of the head) lol
trust you and them will have a great Thanksgiving and all.
Oh, my, those grandkids of yours are adorable! Glad you’ve had a chance to spend time with them.
I just read about Zoe making a journal for someone, and then come here to see it! What a nice prize you won.
Congrats on the guest hosting. Those are some big hops! Hopefully you will get lots of traffic to your lovely blog.
Have a lovely week!
What a lovely blog you have and what a beautiful list of thankfulness you wrote!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! 🙂
My oldest (and only, for about another week) granddaughter turns 1 on Tuesday. Glad to hear your grandson is doing well now despite a rocky start.
