Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for this dear little one, my heart. ♥


I'm thankful the university is closed tomorrow, giving us an extra, extra long weekend. Monday is the Victoria Day holiday and since 2020 the administration has given us an extra day off. I presume all Ontario universities are doing the same; ours certainly wouldn't do it solo!




I'm thankful for the blooms, now come and gone. Last week was quite warm, summer-like, and all the apple and cherry tree blossoms peaked. Most of their flowers are gone now, but they were glorious while they lasted.



I'm thankful the dentist who replaced the filling in one of my lower molars this morning had a soft touch with the needle, because I needed three of them to completely freeze me. I'm still frozen, almost four hours later, but it's better than feeling any pain! I'm booked for a temporary crown on that tooth (it's cracked in several spots) on July 15, then for the permanent one on July 29. Ugh. However, I'm certainly very thankful we have anesthetic! LOL. I'm also thankful I have dental coverage. It won't cover the full cost, but presuming the insurance company okays the expense, it will cover some. I'll be getting it done, regardless, as I prefer to save the tooth.


I'm very thankful my aunt, Mom's younger sister, has been visiting Mom in Halifax for the past couple of weeks and will be there a while longer. She's taking good care of Mom, and I feel much easier in my mind knowing someone is there to make good meals for her, etc. (My aunt is a fantastic cook and loves to do it; neither Mom nor I enjoy doing it for ourselves.)

I could list more things for which I'm thankful, but this post in long enough. I hope you have many things to be thankful for today, and every day, too. 

Peace.

I'm so sorry about the dental work -- why I fear going to the Dentist I don't know but it's one of least liked things anymore. What a lovely photo of you and Derry that is so sweet. Continued good health to your Mom, and it's wonderful that her sister is visiting with her.

Love that pic of Derry and your hand. It's obvious he feels your love. And that pink tulip is gorgeous! As for the dentist (one of my biggest fears), yes, be thankful you have dental insurance. That's one of the things not covered by Medicare over here. Medicare advantage - yes, but regular medicare - no. And it's good that you have a caring aunt to help your mom.
We certainly do have much to be thankful for when it comes to the modern medical world. Hope the two thing works out for you and it is taken care of smoothly and easily. My last Crown was about two and a half years ago and I do have to say it went well but I did not have to have a root canal. I love your pictures they're just beautiful. It is turning into a quick summer it seems with the flowers blooming full ahead and all of a sudden some steamy Heat. Have a good long weekend and enjoy some quiet time. Lynn and Precious
K; this is a great thankful list; ♥♥ I always find something to be thankful for each day, even if
it's just a safe trip to and from work. the photos are awesome as always; and derry DOOD...
lookin good buddy :) ♥♥
Dearest Kim,
Hoping your Mom is doing okay for the rest! Always worrisome when an aging parent is ailing.
She is lucky for having her younger sister nearby!
Your Derry is a darling and he knows how to lap up the love he is getting from his human Mommy.
Nature is breathtaking in your area; far more beautiful than in our warmer region...
You have to wait longer for it to start but then, it makes good for so much.
Enjoy your Victoria Day weekend!
Hugs,
Mariette
Sweet Derry, such a love. Dental things are never fun but so necessary. Those are all terrific thankfuls. I hope you two have a fabulous weekend.
That is a lovely photo of Derry. The flowers are beautiful.

Yes, so much to be thankful for here, too. Derry would top my list, of course, if I were there, as my beasts top mine. Things could always be better, but if we complain too much, we might have what we enjoy now taken away, and we already have it better than many.

A simple ... yes, for being thankful for all these things.

I love the pictures. I always do. That tulip. I wonder what its name is? Like John, I put my cat at the top of the gratefuls and everything you said as well...plus so many others that I recognize and Im grateful for each day. Derry, what a gift you gave your mom. Your sweet headie and your arm.

Those are such wonderful things for which to be thankful. That picture of Derry with his head cradled in your palm is so special. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos, as always, Kim. Your images always bring a little sunshine. :)

Good luck with that dental work. It's definitely not fun, but I'm glad you have a good dentist and some dental coverage.

Happy Victoria Day. Have a great weekend! XO

The photo with Derry is so sweet. And the flowers are simply gorgeous. I'd hoped to come home to more green but spring is barely sprung here. I saw more blooms in Ketchikan.
Enjoy your long weekend.
