Day 24: Photo - I am thankful for all the photos I have of people who are no longer with us, and all the ones I have of places I've been (China, Scotland, etc.) that I may never get to go again.

Nov. 16th, 2015 04:04 pmDay 14: Something New - My apartment. We are the first people to live in our unit, and I am thankful that it's got all new fixtures and appliances, that it's so well insulated and that it's ecofriendly (solar hot water and solar PV on the car canopy). It's the nicest place we've ever lived, even if it is a bit small.
Day 15: Experience - I've been blessed with so many great experiences in my life. Top three to be thankful for are my wedding, our trip to Scotland, and my time working at a house cleaning company in NC.
Day 16: Recipe - I have a good answer for this one, because I've been making it a lot lately. I am thankful for the artichoke dip recipe that my mother found... somewhere and taught to me. It has three ingredients, two steps (mix and bake), and I have never brought it anywhere and had any left to take home. It's quick, easy, always a big hit, and I love it because cooking is not my strong suit.

Sep. 9th, 2015 11:01 amSo, today is the day that Queen Elizabeth becomes the longest reigning British monarch ever, surpassing my beloved Vicky. (Not that I bear her any ill will for that, obviously).
I don't know a lot about the Queen (or the royal family, or UK politics at all), but I feel weirdly close to her (in a totally insane way) having seen her crown jewels, coronation video, residence in Scotland (I stood in a room she routinely stands in!) and having been just outside Buckingham Palace while she was inside. That's closer than I've ever been to Obama, I can tell you that. So I wanted to mark the occasion.
Congrats Liz!
( Please enjoy my favorite photo montage of the Queen: )
