Thankful Thursday - Sept. 25, 2014 and Fall Decor Part 5

Pictures of Buffet/server,  Fall 2014

  Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, 
And into His courts with praise.
 Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

Psalm 100:4 

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well,  and enjoying
the Fall Season already..........
I was totally delighted that we were at
 70 when I got up this morning and it is
 10 now, and we are still in the 70's!!

My heart be still.......cause it feels like
Fall has arrived in Florida...course, I
know by 11,  I will know it hasn't or at
 least hasn't by most people's definition
of Fall.......but hey, we will take what
we can get!!  lol

Figured I would throw in some more 
Fall decorating pictures. This buffet/
serving cart sits on a small wall
 in between the entrance to my foyer 
and my living room, so that is why 
they are cropped so much. Door
ways don't look all that great!  lol


Well, on with my list...............

I am thankful

#1

that we got both our cars serviced last weekend.
  Always nice to have those type of things over
 and done with.

#2

that we got to go to the Christmas Store (a treat
 since it isn't real close to us)  and to Target and
 Dress Barn and out to dinner at Longhorn's steak 
house.  Delicious....and also a very fun day!
This was all after having the cars serviced.  lol

#3

that I found a really neat piece of Christmas artwork
 for the wall that I really liked at Christmas tree store.

Also some paper goods for Fall, and a few new toys for
 Brooklyn, since she is outgrowing some of what I have.

#4

for a nice warm shower at the end of a long day.

#5

for nice big fluffy towels and great smelling soap.

Leaves we preserved from Asheville last Fall


#6

for some pumpkin spice cake with pecan cinnamon
 streusel topping that hubby found at Sam's on Monday.

  Very Yummy.....................and best of all I didn't
 have to make it!!  lol

#7
for the refuse service that we have had for the 
last 3-4 years because they make it so much
easier to dispose of yard trash.  The old service
made you tie everything up in bundles and it
had to be pretty small.  Now we can just put
branches out there that are less than 6 ft.
without tying them up, and they will take 
them away.  Quite a blessing I have to say!
(that was not an intentional rhyme there!  lol

#8

for some video's we have been watching online from 
John Eldridge about walking with God and hearing 
from God.  They are so good.

#9

for prayer, cause it is such a saving grace all the time, 
 but especially when we are troubled about something.

#10
for a dear friend of 34 years, who is just like a sister.
She has been there for me in so many situations, and
always has words of wisdom and encouragement and
I can always count on her to tell me the truth when I
need to hear it....we all need a friend like that!
we just love the same things and are kindred spirits.
She is a woman who loves the Lord and loves people,
and we always laugh because she can get away with
saying things that need to be said, that no one else
could get away with!!  lol  She just has such a gracious
and inquistive way that she does it.........
She and her hubby have been like mentors to us all the
 years, and it was heartbreaking for both of us when
they had to move away 20+ years ago.........because
 they were very instrumental in our spiritual growth, but
 our friendship still continues to this day, even tho we 
don't see each other often, anytime we talk it is just
like picking up where we left off.  Sooo blessed to
have this Dear,  Sweet Loving Friend.
Happy Birthday Vicki,  if you happen to be reading.
We love you guys!


#11
for a really good inspirational movie we watched 
last evening called "Jimmy".  We got it from Netflik 
and it was really a heart warming movie, with some
 adventure added in as well. Highly recommend it.

#12
for the gift of being able to be a Grandmother.
Altho, we were a lot older than most of our friends
when we finally were blessed with our lil darling,
It was well worth the wait.  It truly is one of the
highlights and greatest joys of our life.  Could
never imagine life without her now,  Seems 
like she has always been with us, yet she is 
only 18 mos. old,  almost 19 mos.
We love you Brooklyn!!
Know she want be reading now,  but you never
 know about years down the road..........lol
