Thankful Tuesday

• I got my birthday book order today (I took my time picking them out). That always makes me happy to come home and find a package of books waiting at my front door.
  
  
• It looks like L's brother (the one brother who didn't come out here the first part of the year with the other two) is going to be able to come for a visit in August. This is the brother who he's closest to, so that would be really nice for L if he can.
  
  
• A situation at work has improved somewhat, and I'm grateful for any amount it improves.
  
  
• We were not impacted by the flooding that has so recently hit the Midwest. There were some awful pictures in the paper of damage not too far south of us, so we were very very lucky.
