Good morning Tuesday people!!I will take a crack at this....haven't had my coffee yet but here it goes.

I am thankful to all of you here on VJ who keep spirits up and smiles on.

I am so grateful for all the health babies I see and for my 2 healthy ones too.

I am grateful for all of these marriages that live past problems, distance and trials.

I am grateful for life, sight, touch, the ability to walk and talk and all of those things we take for granted.

I am grateful for my mother who can't do alot of the above mentioned things, but does what she can and has taught me the value of love and life and support and also that sometimes smiles can heal.

Jackie... Thank you for starting this thread. Olivia..... we miss you when you are gone. Love the hair. And thank you for letting us have a little fun.

Ladies....and well Charles Have a wonderful week!

Ok I'll do a mushy one. Every night I make dinner, hubby makes the salad, we sit and eat, he says alhumdulilah and thanks me for another wonderful meal, gives me a nice kiss while the kids squeal "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww", then he takes all the dishes into the kitchen and brings us both a cup of tea, then he goes for a "puff" (my kids' expression) while I do the dishes.

I'm thankful for our dinnertime routine.

Good Morning all!

I am thankful for my healthy babies, one little and one big and my fabulous husband who has maintained his sense of humor for these sometimes difficult years and never fails to make me laugh.

Thankful for this VJ community, watching the families unite over the years (and sadly sometimes fall apart too) but look at all these beautiful couples and smiling babies we have here in MENA! YAY!

Thankful for my family spread out all over the place, particularly this morning for my sister who keeps me supplied with my absolute favorite delicious German coffee which is brewing right this minute

and for the so many other blessings both big and small in my life. I feel fortunate everyday and that in and of itself is something to be so grateful for.

Thanks for starting this Tuesday thread, jJ, what a nice way to begin the day.

oh, and I am also thankful for baby kitties, and big healthy babies, and safe trips to Morocco and Palestine and New York and Jackson Hole. Have a great time everyone!

Oh my goodness! Tax is that high where you live?????????????????????? I am sitting here in total shock at the cig prices! Is that county full of wealthy people? How in the world do you guys make it? It's bad enough here but nothing, absolutely nothing like that!

Just got a call from the realtor and somebody wants to see the house..say a little prayer for us that if its meant to sell we will.

Bridget...you always make me smile when you post You have the funniest sense of humor don't know if I ever told you or not!

I have never heard of one county having more tax than another one. In Mass, afaik, every town/city is taxed the same for sales tax. On a side note, when hubby's stock of Cleopatra's run out we plan to take monthly trips to New Hampshire to buy his cigarettes. Then again, he promised my oldest that he'd quit when he finishes the last Egyptian cigarette but we'll see how that goes.

It doesn't get much better than this.

For everyone still waiting, this is clear proof, you do get through it and everything can work out just fine.

Ok slight mention see i missed alot late last night (sure glad i went to be early) anyway

back in the OLD days everyone used to post pictures of their SO town, scenery, etc...we all loved to see the different locations as im not experienced in this picture stuff but love the pictures would someone do that again.....we had the scenery and alot of times would do the foods of the area pls do again

yea. were in chicago suburbs, where county tax is vastly different from county to county...the county i live in is now highest in the country, jackie, who si 15 mins down the road from me, is like 3% lower. Across the border in indiana which is about 25 mins from me, there is NO sales tax...ridiculous...

Tasha, good luck on selling, where are u guys trying to move? Sofyan and I always talk about moving to ohio...my best friends fiance is from there and the two of them swear by it...they both say its a much better place to live and raise kids.
