gratitude garland

instead of just making a regular, old paper chain to string across the front windows, we made a gratitude garland…writing what we are thankful for on the inside of each link.

here’s a bit of my list (in no particular order): pots of soup…AP’s new job…the river…scrub jays…Mabel…Mabel’s cousins…LLL…Gerri, our midwife…the ocean…time with grandparents in San Diego…how generous my brothers are…homemade bread…our mothers…Marla, our landlord…the Terpstra boys…the hospitality of Ben and Jess…the list goes on and on.
