Grateful Saturday

I've been inspired by M's lovely Grateful Friday posts, and decided to end Friday/begin Saturday with one of my own. I'm grateful for:

• Having my son and daughter in law here for a good long visit;
• Everybody in my family (doggies included!) being healthy right now;
• The past several days of cool, clear weather, truly Michigan summer on its best behavior;
• A stack of fresh new books from the library;
• Tomatoes in the garden;
• Grilled salmon dinner from Mitchell's Fish Market last night;
• The promise of my mom's honest-to-goodness Kentucky fried chicken for Sunday dinner - (does it seem like I'm hungry here???);
• My laptop, which allows me to work outside on the patio instead of being cooped up in the house all day;
• The work of UK Intelligence, which thwarted a horrible terroist plot - brilliant job!
• This community of brave writing women across the globe who continually inspire me to explore my thoughts, expand my horizons, and expound on life in general!
