Knock knock

I am thankful for (#197) locks on my door. Anyone who has lived with me can testify that I get a little nuts about locking the doors at night. I blame it on watching too many episodes of Unsolved Mysteries as a child. Whatever the cause, I am very grateful to have strong locks to keep all the creepers out. It makes me feel safe, and you can't put a price on that.

I am also thankful for (#198) household plants. We only have one and it belongs to Emily. It started as a little seed and has become a mighty plant, sort of. I am in charge of the watering while Emily is away on holiday. She entrusted me with this great responsibility and I have done my best to keep this plant thoroughly watered. It makes me happy to walk out to the kitchen and see this little guy hanging out. I am very tempted to get one of my own, but only if I can keep this one alive for another week.
