Thankful for helpful sons

Warning- the bragging in this post may be too sweet

Our son Bob is a very handy guy and he is also very generous sharing his talent and working hard.
We bought a new gas double oven range as our old electric range was not working right. 
Bob came to install it and he made it look easy, even with changing out the electric service and activating the gas service. 
His little Andie had fun "helping" Mostly she pointed at the spot where the oven goes and said "uh-oh" many times until the kitchen was normal again. 
Hooking up the oven was quick. 
So Bobby suggested they go to Lowes to get new light fixtures for our garage. The old lights were buzzing and flickering. He had those fixtures installed before lunch. 

We had lunch and his sister was here. Their hot water heater broke. A plumbing company had looked at it Friday and said they would replace it on Monday. With 2 little ones in their home, that is long time with no hot water. 
Bobby said hot water heaters were easy to install so after lunch, they all went to Lowes to buy a hot water heater. 

That just took a couple hours and saved his sister hundreds of dollars.
He was back at our home by midafternoon, still looking freaks has a daisy even though he had done 3 pretty big jobs.
He then showed his knife skills by carving an apple to look like a swan. 

Oh, he hung that tv on the wall for us last year.  

This family is thankful for our Bobby-

Thankful for a good pecan harvest

A generous coworker of my husbands brought us a bag of pecans from their yard.
They are really nice and big pecans. My husband started cracking them after supper and picked out 20 ounces in a short time.
Fresh pecans are the best, much tastier than the roasted and older ones that can be bought in bags in a grocery store.
