Good Monday morning! The sun is shining so brightly you'd almost think it's a spring day. Until you walk outside that is!
My husband came home from work sick Friday evening. I spent most of the evening and Saturday taking care of him. He seemed better by Sunday but he still has coughing spells. I'm encouraging him to go to the doctor but he really doesn't want to.
I did get to do some decorating for Thanksgiving yesterday. I had some silk flowers I had gotten a while back so I made a fall arrangement. It's rather tall so I set it to one side of the fireplace in the living room. I love the reds and yellows of autumn. I will try to post a picture but I'm new to blogging so we'll have to see what happens there.
I also made some cookies yesterday.
Today I will do my Monday morning house blessing. Then I'll continue to work on making some Christmas gifts.
Since we formally give thanks in November I thought it might be nice to list three(3) things I'm grateful for daily. Today I'm grateful for bright sunshine, a good husband and hot tea.

I visited Coffee Tea Books and Me this morning. Brenda talks about favorite books. she likes to revisit. So I thought I would list some of mine as well.
