Gratituesday: Tire repair

I am thankful for the circumstances surrounding the screws in my tire. I drove over two screws on Saturday morning. I was so thankful that I was not in a hurry and that I was in a safe area. I'm in a city with lots of places to get my car fixed. Thanks to the good people at Precision, I got my tire repaired for less than $10. I was also thankful that there was a Bruegger's across the street, but that's another story. Happy Gratituesday!

Gratituesday

I am thankful for the gorgeous spring/summer weather in North Carolina. It has been warm and mostly sunny. I'm even thankful for the recent rain; it washed away our pollen (the pollen count is higher than it's been in several years). It's been the perfect opportunity to get outdoors. I was able to take walk at ECU yesterday. It was very nostalgic. Happy Gratituesday!

Buy local!

Support your farmer and buy local. It helps sustain the economy around you and the food is much more nutritious. I just came across a local market that encompasses several farms. Locavore Market is a great place3 to look. They have pick-up sites at different locations in Greenville. I can avoid a delivery charge and driving out to a farm. They offer free-range eggs for $3.25/dozen. This is pretty comparable to what I find in the grocery store. Across the various farms, there are so many kinds of produce to choose from. Among other crops, Bowie Woods garden (an affiliate) is growing radishes. I love some radishes! Also, the farmer's market is about to open for the season. I can't wait to get out there very soon. Bring on the peaches, corn, apples, blueberries and strawberries. I will be freezing some serious produce to enjoy for next winter!

Gratituesday!

On this Gratituesday, I am thankful for my most amazing family. I was blessed to spend time with both immediate and extended family over Easter Weekend. I also returned to my cute kitty, who was so excited to see me. It was full of good meals, meaningful worship, girl time at the mall, and encounters with wonderful people. This is a short posting, but I just wanted to share how blessed I am. He is risen!
