A tornado touched down in the county where I live. Nobody hurt. The winds and rain knocked down one of our trees. 
♥ My editor, Lisa Romeo. You are just the right blend of gentle, clear, and firm. Just the kind of editor I need.
😉 Wheelbarrows. I filled one with sticks from all over other parts of the yard. Who invented this three-wheeled wonder. I love you.
🙂 Flip flops. No not while the cleanup was underway. That’s just silly. So wonderful to flip on my LizaB’s and run out where ever I want to go. Feed the fish, get the mail, walk over to the neighbors.
🙂 A flute friend. Kris, you are so good for me. Like Lisa, you push and encourage at the same time. A duet in August. So fine.
🙂 Coco’s persistence. She’s got connection with the Chicago Sky WNBA team. She got us 4 t-shirts and 4 tickets to the game yesterday for a great price.
🙂 Surprises. Coco’s contact gave us seats practically under the basket and access to a buffet lunch of hamburgers, chips, cookies, sodas, and more. Diet began again today. Starting over is fun to do.
♥ Chicago Theatre. Kinky Boots here we come.
🙂 Fresh blueberries and Bill’s Blueberry Cobbler. So easy to make and really delicious. I had it for breakfast with some Greek yogurt. Half-way healthy.
🙁 Allegra. Not the music annotation. The allergy medicine. Thanks to Allegra, I’m almost back to normal.
😉 Bifocals. My optometrists said I’d love them. I do. What do you think?
As always, please join me and Laurel over at Alphabet Salad for more Gratitude Lists. A great way to start the week.
