Catching up from being gone over the weekend -
Sat - Random Acts of Kindness
1. I had to run into the grocery store one morning before work to pick something up for one of the kids to take to school. There was only one line open and the lady in front of me was checking out with an entire cart full of groceries. She told the cashier to just ring my one item so that I could go on. I tried to pay her for it, but she insisted that I could not do that. It was so very nice of her to save me the time (and money)!
2. My mom rides on a
scooter when she goes on cruises with us. Way more often than not, people are so helpful to her by holding doors and letting her on elevators. So very kind because I know everyone is in a hurry to get where they are going.
3. I'm so grateful for kind drivers that let you merge easily when they see your blinker and know you want to change lanes
Sun - Things that run on batteries
1. Remote controls - DH still calls them wireless remotes because we remember when remotes had wires to your TV lol
2. Phones - so grateful that we have them and they will do so much for us!
3. I love decorations that run on batteries and have timers, so you can set them to be on when you're home or maybe in the evening when it gets dark. They can add such a nice touch to your living area!
(Mon, 2/19) - 3 Day Trips You're Grateful For
We live about 45 minutes from St Louis, so we are grateful for all of the fun things that are close to us to do
1. Grateful for the gateway arch. I see it often, but still have to announce it when we get close enough that I can see - I can see the arch! I think it is so beautiful!
2. Six Flags - I love taking the kids to six flags a couple of times a year when they were younger. They have very reasonably prices season tickets, so we would get them each year for an Easter gift for the kids. As they got older, they got even more use out of them because they would go with friends sometimes and would usually go to Freight Fest at least once per season.
3. Magic House - I loved taking the kids there when they were little - such a fun and unique place!
