I'm Thankful for Mr. Hooper

I am thankful for our neighbors Jon and Charity Ross.  They deliver groceries to my door every Tuesday.  I completely look forward to this because a fresh bag of groceries that I was not responsible for picking out, delivered to my door along with neighborly banter about what our kids are doing in school, whose birthday party is this weekend or what we are making for dinner, is basically one of my new favorite things.  In a life of three kids, a full time job and a demanding blog ;), it is so nice to just receive something without having to put together a timeline.

Jon and Charity introduced me to the Local Matters program here in Columbus, Ohio called the Veggie Van.  It drops off bags of local produce ... well not all local because I got some oranges in today's delivery ... to area schools and their son's preschool is one of them.  I am grateful for the Ross' and that they so graciously have signed us up and stop by every Tuesday.

I started calling Jon our personal Mr. Hooper.  And there's nothing like getting a bag of groceries and 20 minutes in your week that resembles Sesame Street.  And for that I'm thankful.

P.S. I brined our turkey.  It was everything I thought it would be.
