I am thankful 10/10/2010
For potatoes. As a child I completely understood how a nation could starve due to a potato famine. I would often put a potato in the microwave for breakfast when my family ate raisin bran (before we were converted to “fruit ’till noon“) and on some days would eat potatoes three times a day. My microwaved potato would be eaten with nothing but salt as it was years before I learned to understand the concept of eating butter that one could see. Apparently I never got over my childhood comfort in potatoes, so there are now 30 lbs in our apartment. I guess it is time to return to eating them three meals a day, preferably mashed!
For friends. Especially a good “childhood” friend who has grown along with me, though differently.
For blankets. I don’t care what the temperature is, I find it quite comforting to have a blanket over me when I sleep. Which I guess means that I do care that it is not too hot to tolerate a blanket!
mmmm potatoes. I love them as well!!
You are so blessed to have a childhood friend. I guess I am, too, though mine are also my siblings.
And I am the same way about blankets! I can’t stand to sleep without one!!
