i am either on the roof or a ladder these days. my body is aching from top to bottom!  i'm getting way too old for this stuff... so, yesterday, i took advantage of the rain and my husband being at work, to just lay around.  i watched several chick flick movies on netflix, took a long hot bath and took a nap!  my mother-in-law is always telling me to rest...so, that is exactly what i did yesterday.   i LOVE days like these... i NEED days like these...to recoop my old aching body...

for today....is a roof day.  (hubby is home, off to shingle we go!...UGH)


...so, what are you especially thankful for today?!
