~~Multitasking Thursday~~

Today it seems I must multitask. Not necessarily an easy thing to do for me. But I will give it a try. For you see I have friends who have delightful ways to share who I am. Lisa at Are We There Yet, Ruth at Tea Talk and Tamara at Branch of Wisdom all have given me that opportunity today So let me begin.



There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea. 
~Ralph Waldo Emerson, Letters and Social Aims

I'm having...Peppermint tea this morning.  It's really refreshing to awaken to it aroma and taste after stepping into the chill of the house.


My teacup is...My special cup painted by a dear friend who has since gone home to be with the Father.  Every time I use it or look at it I'm reminded of her and what a lovely lady she was.



I'm feeling...oh, so grateful.  The colonoscopy I had yesterday was normal, no polyp this time.  I have to have another in 5 years though because I have a family history of colon polyps.


On my mind...Thanksgiving and the arrival of family for the celebration.

The Husband Edition

1.  Ron is the most thoughtful of men.  One of the most vivid memories for me, one of many, was when I had to be off my feet for 6 weeks because of a foot injury.  About midway into this recuperative period I remember him going off to work, soon after he had got the kids all ready and to school.  I thought it strange he didn't kiss me or say good-bye.  He just left.  I supposed he was so busy he just forgot.  About 30 minutes after he left he returned.  He said, "Come on we're going to Brown County.  You need to get out of the house."  So with my foot propped on pillows in the back seat he took me to Nashville IN.  We had a wonderful day and all because he knew I had to get out of the house.

2.  Ron is soooo smart.  He can do complicated math calculations in his head.  The irony in all this is he hates computers.  He rather do calculations on his slide rule that use the "thing."  See why he would rather be gold panning that sitting behind a desk?

3.  He is a wonderful father.  I know this because we have 5 beautiful children who will still call Dad just to talk or ask advise.  He's the role model they all look to when they have a problem or want support.  And he's always there for them.
