Horse Chestnuts

          I'm thankful for kind friends, both new ones here and old ones at "home" and an even kinder Father in heaven who has been treating me like His little girl!                                                                  I've been counting blessings today and there are so many things I have to be thankful for that I am really amazed. This is one of them: a marzipan horse chestnut. We found it at a little bakery and enjoyed it tonight! My girls have played with horse chestnuts from our trees in Tiskilwa every fall of their lives, collecting "rubies" from all over the hillside.                                  Now there is a horse chestnut tree right outside our apartment so when I saw this, I just had to celebrate and get it for the girls.
