Thankful List 2022

On  Thanksgiving Day, I post a list of 20 things I’m thankful for.  I picked 20  random things, so please don’t judge. These are not in order of importance.  That would make this job way too hard.  I just type ’em as they pop into my head.


I’m thankful:


  1. My lord for caring for me

  2. All of the blessings I have received this year. 

  3. My family who makes life exciting and fun. 

  4. Securing a position in our new town. 

  5. My students who are a source of joy and laughter.

  6. Finding a home we could afford in our new town. 



  1. Having a grove of trees in my backyard with a creek running along the edge our property



  1. The free lawn concerts that are held locally 



  1. The fall leaves and beauty that our new area has to offer. 

  2. Having a real fireplace to enjoy a log burning fire



  1. Good Coffee

  2. Our family's health. 

  3.  Being food secure

  4.  Having good neighbors 


 

  1. You- My blog readers.  This is one of the most uplifting and special things this year. Thank You.

Living Large In the Cheap Seats---> June -July 2025

  Living Large In the Cheap Seats June- July 2025 I was first introduced to “Living Large In the Cheap Seats” by a college friend, Chris J., who introduced me to lawn tickets for popular bands.   We were able to see concerts at a significantly discounted rate.   After reading Brokenomics by Dina Gachman, I revised this concept and decided to share it with you.  I have been doing this for years and enjoyed wonderful experiences for FREE! Concert in the Park Series The Keehner Park concerts are 7-9 p.m. on select Saturdays between Memorial Day and Labor Day at the Keehner Park Amphitheater.  The free concerts welcome all guests to pack a picnic for the evening.  Sorry, but alcohol is NOT permitted. June 7 – Southwest Ohio Symphonic Band June 14 – Miami University Steel Drum Band   June 21- UC Community Band  June 28- West Chester Symphony Orchestra July 12-  Strings Attached Band July 19- Cincinnati Shakespeare Company - A Mid Summer Night's D...
