What an awesome list! I love the Jerry Springer comment. I can totally relate to that one!
The garden looks great. I hope to have a nice garden next year! We didn't plant one this year hoping we'd be moving...looks like it's happening...but we sure could of used some yummy home grown veggies until now! D'oh
I love your list! I'm grateful for your youthful enthusiasm, and handy hubby too!
Love you bunches!
Hooray for blessing lists! You focus on some of the day-to-day, taken-for-granted blessings... postal service, clean drinking water, freedom...
I also thought the Jerry Springer was great. But I particularly like 'experiencing sorrow and loss so I better appreciate the things I do have' and 'hope.' I guess because I desperately need that perspective right now!
