Giving Thanks, Day 14

By MaryO in Giving Thanks, Holidays, Memories, Thankfulness

TiVo. I love that I can fast forward through commercials and have all my favorite shows waiting for me when I lie down on the sofa (and fall asleep!) I probably wouldn’t have gotten one of these when we did but our son got us one for Christmas many years ago. He had it …

Giving Thanks, Day 2

By MaryO in Giving Thanks, Memories, Thankfulness, Thoughts

Today I am hugely thankful that the last major issue we had here was in 2013 when Tom had his heart attack. That event caused me to start a whole new blog to post about our experiences. Adapted from https://maryomedical.com/2013/02/08/the-beginning/ January 27, 2013 was our 40th anniversary. DH called me and said he …

9/11 – We Will Always Remember :(

By MaryO in Holidays, Thoughts

I originally wrote this on 9/11/01… I, too, was stunned to hear the news this morning and continuing throughout the day. It was just something unbelievable. My husband and I were on a Land Rover 4X4 tour of the off-road areas of Barbados when we first got the news. At first, when we got …

By MaryO in Giving Thanks, Thankfulness

Our son Facetimes nearly every Sunday, just to chat. I am thankful that he’s doing so well for himself, has a wonderful new wife, has a good job, good friends, is a fine musician and that he’s not afraid to say he loves his parents. We love you, too!

40 Days of Thankfulness: Day One

By MaryO in Giving Thanks, Memories, Thankfulness, Thoughts

Several years ago I decided to try Facebook’s 40 Days of Thankfulness and I’m going to post all 40 days here since I know that it will auto-post to Facebook and my blogs. Although I have had several problems in my life (and who hasn’t?), I’m sure I can come up with at least …
