We started blogging in 2005 when there was just the two of us heading to Europe. Now it's a photojournal of what the whole family has been up to.

Thankful Thursday
Today I'm a linking in with "Kate says Stuff" and her Thankful Thursday......it's nice to be reminded to stop, think & be thankful whether it be big, small or in-between.......
I've got lots to be thankful this week...we've managed to sell a couple of our cars. One is just a car & the other a much loved project that was started before children! She has been part of our lives for such a long time that watching her heading off on the back of a truck this afternoon is actually going to be emotional....so many ideals, memories and 'what-ifs' tied up in that old girl.....So, our dear old girl, as we wave you farewell this afternoon know that we will always remember you fondly, miss you deeply & reminisce often. Drive safe & proud and we hope that our roads can cross again one day....
I am thankful that we had the opportunity, the time and the money to take on a project like this when we did. But I am also thankful now that she has been sold, the money is much needed and the stress of driving her makes your heart feel like it is leaping out of your chest - I won't miss that feeling!
I am truly thankful that we drove her sporadically for many years without incident.
But today's thankful is simple.....everyday my big little girl heads of to 3 year old kinder I hand write a note to go in her fruit snack box. It says the same thing every time "I love you to the stars and back".
Today she pulled the note off her snack and stuck it down her top so, as she explained, "It will be close to my heart and when I am missing you I can just touch it and know you love me to the starts and back."
Yup, I cried!
Thankful for so much on a Thursday, but for these things particularly today!

Oh how beautiful she wanted your note close to her heart! That made me tear up!
We farewelled a classic car this year too... one with a huge emotional bond for my husband. but it was time for it to be truly appreciated by someone who was more able to and the money made a big difference to us at a difficult time.
Oh, what a sweet girl. That is the cutest thing.
Love your project car. I'd be sad to see the old girl go too.
