:: I had to go to jury duty today. And while that is not necessarily one of my top 5 things I'm grateful for today, I did have to get their early and so I was able to drive while the sun was coming and making the countryside look brilliant. It was peaceful and was just me.

:: Because of jury duty, I had a few hours to read and catch up on a letter and 'thank you' cards. As annoying as having to drop everything and do my civic duty was, it was great to have a few uninterrupted hours to catch up on things.

:: For the Internet. Really, for so many reasons, but today, I was able to find out that you can substitute eggs in a brownie mix with one spoon of mayonnaise per egg. Internet saved the day and most importantly, the brownies. :)

:: For finding one of Brenner's drawings of a crane in his back pack from school. His drawing has really improved over the last few months and it was cute to see all of the detail he had put in it.

:: For giving Brightynn and email address. It's brightyn.blue :0) We wrote each other a few emails to practice and I can see this becoming something so wonderful between us!
