Today we’re joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop
We are thankful for many things. We are thankful for the friends who wrote condolences on my blog post last week after I told you we lost my MIL. I am thankful for having known her 46 years of her almost 92 years. (Half her life) I’m also thankful she wasn’t sick long. Very thankful she raised five wonderful boys and one fell in love with me. 💕 We’re also thankful our two boys could make the funeral with their wives. It was a long trip. Also that our youngest gave the eulogy and that his wife sang a solo. It made the celebration of her life more personal and special. We are thankful to now be back home. We’re tired. . .
We’re thankful we came home to ripening sweet corn. 🌽 And sunflowers 🌻 and tomatoes 🍅 Yummy! Wish you were here.
Saved the best for last, we welcomed our second great-grandchild. (A girl) 👶🏻

Thank you friends for your patience. We will eventually read and catch up on all your blogs and start commenting again.
We’re also joining Angel Sammy’s and Teddys Purrs-day Poetry
Jasmine insists I write a poem about her Jungle to make up for missing last week. She was very lonely while we were gone.
Oh Jasmine you silly little girl
Oh Jasmine you silly little girl
The Jungle of house plants is your favorite spot. . .
It’s where you like to hide
And in the Jungle hide you do.
You silly, willy little girl.
A Kiss 😘 is the Key to Love
The First Kiss from your true love will cause you to swoon. . .
If you’re lucky he’ll lasso the stars and the moon.
Then will come the wedding doves
Because you are your own true loves.
Maybe after a year or so will come a child or two
Then rarely will you have time to be blue.
This is wedded bliss
And it all started with a Kiss.
I love your poems… and welcome to this world little human… we hope every day will be a sunny sunday for you :O)
