Grace in Small Things: 4, 5 and 6 of 365

2 Comments

Day 4

  • The kids’ glee over their free cookies at the grocery store.
  • Finding a great sale on batteries.
  • Rockford putting my new battery organizer on the wall.

    • Day 5

  • The joyful look on Petey’s face when he glances back to see Poppy chasing him.
  • The kids playing so well together.
  • The Swedish meatballs being a success.

    • Day 6

  • Getting up early enough to have breakfast with Rockford.
  • Poppy, as we put Pete down for his nap: “Goodnight, Grummy-Oscar. I hope you sleep well in your trash can.”
  • Helping Poppy write a story about Pooh and his pals. Title: “Pooh and Tigger and Roo are playing.”
  • A new season of “Biggest Loser.” (Yes, I’m serious.)
    • Flotsam / Jetsam

    Grace & blog maintenance

    I haven’t ditched the gratitude-list effort. I’m trying to find a way to include the list here without allowing it to take over the blog. What I’d like to do is list it in the sidebar, but I’d like to do that without having to change the sidebar code every day. Which means I need to find a way to make those specific posts show up over there rather than over here. I’ve found a few ways that are supposed to work, but for whatever reason they don’t work here. If I can’t figure out how to do it, I’ll be doing a once-a-week Grace in Small Things post.
