1. I baked brioche this morning, made a mincemeat pie, and made choucrute garni with five kinds of meat for dinner.  I am grateful for the ability and opportunity to do something I love -- cook -- for the people I love.
2. I am thankful my friend Nancy returns from over 2 weeks in Africa.  Moreover, I'm thankful I have a friend like Nancy.
3. I have a neighbor who, when she noticed the woman who was supposed to come and clean the cottage, came and cleaned it herself.  On one hand that's a little weird, but it means I didn't have to do it myself -- and after having the new roof put on, it was desperately in need!  So I am grateful!
