Those for whom I'm grateful!

 Thankful Thursday

Some archaeology for you...

The Cybele plate is a Bronze gilded disc dated ca 300-200 BC discovered at Ai-Khanoum, Bactria (today northern Afghanistan). It depicts Kybele, the Anatolian mother goddess, riding a chariot together with a winged goddess, most likely Nike. The chariot is pulled by lions and above them are depicted the Sun Helios, the moon and the morning star.

But who is the figure on the far right? I will have to do some more research, I'm thinking.

This weekend a friend and her hubby are going to a beach near Charleston SC. They will probably see this. I am so grateful that they'll get to enjoy this...as they have been so giving in helping me while I was sick.

Sedona AZ offered a wonderful vista for one of my daughters-in-law last week. Simply heavenly!

Another daughter-in-law shared her prize of "Best Dessert" at Florida Foodies Fest for her Macarons. (Not macaroons!) St. Petersburg, FL.

Another daughter-in-law in the red shirt came out to support Allison Russo, (in white jacket) a candidate for Ohio Secretary of State, and "Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America"

When a son divorces the mother of my grandkids, she becomes a friend as well as ex-daughter-in-law. I wish her many ways of happiness.

A huge thank you to all my blog friends who have sent supportive comments while I was hospitalized and first at home dealing with total focus on my health. It was so appreciated by this elder who continues to hope for other things to be of interest than myself!
