Thankful for Monkeys

Yes, that's right.  Today I'm thankful for monkeys.  Specifically this little monkey who helped me rake the leaves AND gather walnuts for our family AND helped bag them up.

And I'm sure it's not the last time he'll happily help me.  We've got billions more leaves to go.  yay.

Today, I'm also thankful for my Papa who is turning 78 today!!  We are headed over there to take him a homemade lunch which will involve cake.  I love me some Papa birthday cake!
