Heinz Variety
I have been checking out some great blogs on the sidebar of Rocking Chair Reflections. I had visited some of the blogs before, like Pioneer Woman would have been the first. Some I had seen from references on Behind The Blog on Blog Talk Radio. These are Boo Mama, Big Mama, Scribbit and Rocks in My Drier which I knew already of course.
All the blogs are great and so far I have found one to follow because I can relate having five kids myself, Days to Come.
Then I came across this meme. I like counting my blessings, as evidenced in my Thankful Thursday posts. So I thought I would try out Alphabet Soup at Seeds from My Garden.
Here is what I am trying to do: the rules of the post from the site.
"Did you eat Campbell's Alphabet Soup when you were a kid? Did you try to spell your name out of the letters in your bowl? How about the name of your secret boyfriend?The think the post days are Tuesday and this week's letter is D.
I remember when Campbell's Soup Company came out with their alphabet soup. I was a little kid then and it was the coolest thing. We always tried to create our names from the letters and for some reason, there never were the right ones for my name. But it was fun soup.
I was thinking the other day about the good things in my life and all that I have to be thankful for. It suddenly occurred to me that it would be fun to use the alphabet as a source for listing those things which bring me joy or pleasure or peace. Or anything good, for that matter.
Kind of like Sesame Street -- "Today's grateful thoughts brought to you by the letter ___". I've been way too serious in my last few posts, so I'm lightening it up a bit and today I'm going to post 3-5 things that fall into this category, according to the letters of the alphabet. First up -- the letter Aa."
Morning Glory is away this week, so I hope I am going OK so far.
Dancing
I realised the other day while searching for a set of avatars for my forum that I can't go past the ballet pictures. I found some great avatars on iconator. Some are not really for my agegroup etc. but there are some lovely ones. I have been involved with ballet since my 11 year old daughter started school with one year off. I like tutus and looking at them and the shoes, and all that kind of thing.

Dog
I am blessed by my dog. I just like to see a dog our the breed we like in the back yard. I suppose it is a habit, since we have done that for over 24 years, much more for my husband. He isn't actually a Heinz variety. How many months or years have you had a dog in the backyard?

Last year we bought a pup. She's a Blue Heeler/Lab mix. Totally different from our first dog in personality, but she gets more fun each day.
So altogether we've had a dog for ten years now.
