I am grateful for friends who share the wealth with me, especially when it comes to knitting! Thank you Laura! I am grateful for Laura in so many other ways including (but not limited to) being a good friend to my big creature and inspiring him to blog too.

I am grateful for my husband who knows just what I wanted for Valentine’s day! And is smart enough to notice that the white chili I’ve been cooking all day doesn’t look right. Oops, I guess it would help to put the beans in it.

I am grateful for hot chili on a cold winter’s day.
