On this day that we celebrate the birth of our nation; though the declaration to separate was actually on 2 July, and the actual fighting began in April of 1775; I thought it might be nice to mention a few things for which I am thankful.
I have a wonderful woman in my life that gives so many gifts. Gardening to look at and live in, food that melts in my mouth and of an incredible variety, conversation to exercise my mind and so many other things that slip this addled brain.
Children that despite my foibles still serve others. They may not choose to serve the same method as I, but they do serve others--Brad in coaching, Sam his country, Wilson and Annie are still searching, but helping family and friends is only the beginning.
A God that is patient.
A job, especially one that challenges me daily.
Have I mentioned the garden and house?
Bicycles and the Frenchman that is credited with devising them.
For family.
And to speak for Maggie: Thankful for older cousins to sit on.
Thankful for David L. Zack--RIP. I heard of this man for years from my father. I then worked, or better learned, from him for 2.5 years at Tulare Irrigation District. What my father started, Dave Zack continued. Thank you.
