Count your blessings!

It is about now, when I could easily slip into a sorrowful despondence over the future move of the Fairvilla household, that I must discipline myself to count my blessings...name them one by one.

"Do I have to?"
"Yes, Dinner Woman, it will be good for you."
"But I'd rather just sit and pout."
"Count!"

1 great house with 1 great kitchen.
2 summer gardens have yielded fruit in the backyard.
3 years, would be four this fall, I've enjoyed making this house my home.
4 roommates who were easy to live with during my stay here.
5 cars that fit in the driveway.
6 of us with 6 bunked beds. It was the greatest year and we started the blog.
7 th day of the week is the day when friends gathering round the dinner table together here at Fairvilla.
8 couches we've gone through and never had to buy.
9 types of herbs grow rapidly in the side garden.
10 ?? (someone help me out here)
11 different housemates. Each one has knocked off some of my rough edges in their own unique way.

Thank you Lord for the blessing of Fairvilla.

10...hmm...the number of times we have watched P&P together? or...the number of avocados left on our tree? or...ok, so I'm not doing a great job of coming up with that one either. But, I have to say, I rejoiced with your recounting of our blessings there.
