Thank you Thursday…

I love you Mother Earth., Thank you Thursday, topstitch / tagged , , , , , , , , , / / by

The rain in Southern California has been out of control. We need it and I’m happy to see more green as the days have gone by this week. So thank you Mother Earth for beautifying our planet a little more.

Today I want to thank the United States post office. Especially our mail carrier of 30 years Gus. In another post I will go into detail why Gus is so special and important to us. Thanks Gus for bringing us our mail the past few days in the horrible California rain.

Thank you also to all the UPS and Fedex drivers delivering packages. Thanks to Amazon as well. With all this rain and minor floods, you’ve managed to make sure we receive our packages in time.

Huge thanks to companies like Door Dash, Postmates, GrubHub for delivering our food when we are too chicken to drive in the rain or too afraid to get wet.

Uber and Lyft drivers. THANK YOU.

You all are appreciated more than we ever tell you.

It’s amazing that even fences can’t stop Mother Earth from being amazing.

I Love walking this trail on my way to and from work. I’ve seen so many changes in the trees and plants. But the one constant is Mother Earth is always brining new greenery to life.

These aren’t the greatest photos. But if you Love Mother Earth as much as I do. They will make your heart as happy as they make mine.

Respect your Mother.

I can’t believe how fast this week flew by. It may have something to do with me being off Monday and Tuesday. Either way. Trying to keep up with my thank you Thursday.

Huge thank you to train conductors. You don’t realize how much shit they take from people. If the train breaks down, we blame the conductor. If the train is running late, we blame the conductor. If people are rude and don’t move over to make seats available, we blame the conductor. If we miss the train because we are the ones late, we blame the conductor. If somebody pushes you out of the way to get on the train before you, we blame the conductor. If we miss our stop, we blame the conductor.

So thank you conductors for getting me to work and home daily. For taking me to explore different places. But most important for being nice even after a long day of dealing with peoples attitude. Today and always I am thankful for you.

Blankets…

I promised my niece I’d update as often as possible. So here I am, on the train headed home and I decided to update.

I Love these throw blanket kits from Joann’s.

Not only are they super easy to make, I don’t have to worry about coordinating fabric and they so warm. You’re supposed to cute 1 inch strips all the way around and tie the strips and your blanket is done. It’s usually what I do when I make them for other people. But for these 2 I decided to sew them. I like mine sewn better than tied.

This was my last project of 2018. For my nephew Kieran.

This one I made for myself.

Uh oh my train arrived at my destination, I better hurry off before conductor closed the doors and I get stuck on there until the next stop.

Feliz Año Nuevo…

I think I was in bed by midnight. No suit case packed, no grapes, no money, and none of the other superstitious stuff. I was almost falling asleep when I heard my sister yell out Happy New Year!!! She quickly said good night after that.

I don’t have any resolutions. Do we have to have them? If we have them, do we have to talk about it? I’m not one of those people who has to talk about stuff like that. Kind of like when people give stuff up for lent. They spent 40 days saying over and over how they can’t have certain things because they have it up for lent. WHY?!?!?! Give it up and shut up about it LOL.

I’ve never been a fan of resolutions. BUT I am a firm believer in what you do on the first of the year, you will continue to do the rest of the year. I usually have a list of things I do. This year was way different. It was such a lazy day lol. So I hope I don’t spend the entire year being lazy. For the first time in years I watched the Rose Parade. I watched Christmas movies. I made some paper flowers, something I do hope to do all year long. It’s only 8:30 and I already forgot what else I did today LOL.

I hope you have an awesome 2019.

Hi Danigirl <3 tia Loves you.
