2. September-October-November...your favorite fall month? Tell us why. If you live in the southern hemisphere use these months but sub spring for the word fall.
November. The beginning of sweater/sweatshirt weather, football, soups, and stews.
3. A song you love with the word thanks (or some form of that word) in the title or lyrics?
4. November is National Peanut Butter Month. Are you a fan? What's the last peanut butter bite you had? Fill in the blank: peanut butter and _____________________ .
Oh, and you can't say jelly.
I love peanut butter. My favorite cold-weather lunch is chicken noodle soup and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. With Ruffles. Since I last had a Reese's Cup, I'm going with peanut butter and chocolate.
5. This week's gratitude question-What event from this past year are you most grateful for?
There are so many. Being with my siblings and my boys, being able to go back to Ireland, going to TX to tour the painted churches (and see friends & cousins) & learn more about my heritage, going on pilgrimage to Greece, and gaining a daughter-in-law. But maybe my favorite was being able to celebrate CH's life as he requested. My BIL set up the venue, and family & friends gathered.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
"Give Thanks" was the meditation song for CH's funeral mass. It was a perfect way to thank God for everything He has done for us as a couple and as a family with our boys. CH's body was worn out from fighting colon/anal cancer, but he continued to thank God for giving him the life he had. 2025 has been a tough year; people told me the 2nd year would be harder, and they weren't kidding. Our life wasn't perfect (but whose is?), but I'm so thankful to have been able to experience that once-in-a-lifetime love CH & I shared.
