What are you thankful for today? Right now I am thankful for our shade tree, which I am sitting under. We planted the tree 17 years ago when we moved here and oh, how it has grown. Just takes time, as do a lot of things, and when they grow they are beautiful.
Hope the following quotes bring a smile and here is a cute picture to start things off. How can one not smile when looking at a monkey.

Thankful for family, a comfortable house and good food — even though we don’t have a chef, a butler or a maid. 🙂

Yes, that one was also a favorite of mine. That one for its deepness and the smiling Pooh Bear one. I am always up for lunch and how can one not smile at Pooh Bear. 🙂

I like #1 best. It’s my belief that human communication is one of the most difficult things in the world. I think I’d rather be lounging in the shade of your tree.

Mugs do seem to multiply, don’t they. Does the one you just bought have bison on it?

They make a nice keepsake for memories and you don’t go broke by buying them. Sounds like you got a nice one.
I have found that Shot glasses take up less space. We have a shot glass for just about everywhere that we have been. They have pretty pics on them too.

I don’t do a lot of shots, so I didn’t think that particular souvenir suited me.

Oh we don’t either. Brad is a water person like Tippy. But who says they have to be used as shot glasses. LOL! I remember just liking a picture on a specific one when we were on our honeymoon and it just became a tradition. They are in my china closet.

I collected beer glasses for a time, but they take up a lot of space in the cupboard.

Yes shot glasses are a lot smaller. I am guessing those beer glasses got used though, unlike my shot glasses that collect dust.
BUT when we get old and forget where we have been, they can remind us.
