Things to be Thankful for...

Well, sorry there are not any great pictures today...yet. This should be the first time all week that anyone in Austin has seen the sun, since before the start of the infamous ice storm. I cannot wait. It is 7:00 a.m. and the sun is just peeking over the horizon. The birds in the neighborhood are sounding the call - look the sun! I'll take Alex for a walk in a few minutes. I'm sorry that I have not lived up to my blogs namesake for a while. I just cannot get access to download dramas lately like I usually do. Someday in the near future maybe I can afford my own high speed something, but for now I'll have to wait. I'm still a fan though and come spring I'm back in business again. Wow, last night was the first night that I did wipe down all by myself in time to close at closing time! Pretty cool. Not only that Raymond and I each earned six dollars in tips. I know that may not sound like much, but honey its a whole lot when you are counting pennies. I was so happy to find gas at Leo's in East Austin for $ 2.05 a gallon, super service, nice family and great prices, you cannot go wrong there. I'll definitely be going back there again. I had forgotten that there is a City Market grocery store right near there too. Maybe I can plan ahead and kill two birds with one stone so to speak. The guys at work are so funny. Most of them I am old enough to be their mom. They make me laugh. It is like a family, they keep my spirits up even when it is tough. We had several rushes. Everyone helps each other out, no matter what. It is so different from other businesses where each employee is just out for themselves. At Dan's the teamwork is what makes the business run smoothly. It is fun to go to work. You know that no matter how tough it is, at the end of the night we got it done, and we're going home. You have got to come by and have a burger, a shake or man those onion rings. You will like it. Everything is homemade. Good stuff.
