The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy and
I will give thanks to him in song.
Psalm 28:7

that last Friday we killed 2 birds with
one stone and had a good time while
doing it.
We went to hubbies heart Dr., and
he got a good report, then got our
van serviced (and watched a Mall cop
movie while we waited, I find most
of it quite silly, as I am not a slap stick
comedy type of girl, lol, but it was
entertaining and beats just sitting in
the waiting room) then we went to
the Christmas Tree store to look around
(it's a fun treat, as we only go there once
in a blue moon) then we went to dinner
at LongHorn Steakhouse.

that all our Dr. visits are out of the way
for another year or so..........Yea!
Still have tests and things to do and
to wait for results.........
but at least some of it is done! lol

that I got some painting done this week, and
looks so nice clean and fresh now. When
they painted the house in the Spring, we
only had a few small areas on the trim that
needed doing and I already had the paint so
just told them not to worry with that Part.
Still need to do our french doors out to the
porch and hoping to do that this Saturday.
#5
that we finally remembered to draw names
for Christmas. The past 2 yrs. we started
doing that at Megan's request and it has
worked out really well. We just kept for-
getting to draw the names this year, when-
ever we are together, so we finally remem-
bered on Wed. so Megan and I just drew for
ever we are together, so we finally remem-

for these new dark chocolate candy bars
we accidentally found at Target - they
are so delicious. They are made by
Brookside, and have nuts and dried
fruit in them....um um um! So good!
This is what we have on a very small
wall between the entrance to the bed-
room and the closet. Love this lil boy
jeans planter, and have had it for quite
some time.... long story but it always
reminds me of my son and a drawing
he did in High School.

that I got my porch doors and door jam
all cleaned and ready for painting on
Saturday. Shouldn't take long to paint
really but just have to have hubby home
to take care of the hardware or I would
do it tomorrow. (Friday)

that they put "Fixer, upper" on
our Netflix TV line up. We just
love Joanna and Chip Gaines,
they are neat people and do some
beautiful work. We really enjoy
watching this show.

for Publix Brand clorox kitchen
cleaner. It is just about the only
brand that actually has any clorox
in it..........and for 6 clean porch
chairs that I used it on today. It is
amazing how one kitty can make
such a mess of our porch chairs,
but she does a dandy job of it.
But they look so nice, clean and
pretty once again! So happy to
have another outdoor project
done.........whoo hoo!
Love this weather....... it really
motivates me to get things
done outside.

Where HAS the week gone?!? (At least you have something to show for it!) Your guest room looks lovely, Nellie!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got the doctors visit over for a year and I love Fixer Upper too!
ReplyDeleteHello dearest Nellie. I love the makeover and your use of the entertainment unit. So clever. I thought I'd already commented on this post Hon, but I must have forgotten to click publish I think. Much love. Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteNellie, it looks so warm and inviting! Lovely job! Brookside...so good!! I try really hard to stay away from that aisle in Target, but sometimes the cart just wants to go by and say hi to all of the chocolate. LOL. Thank you for the visit and sweet comment at The Dedicated House. It means the world. Feel free to share this post at my Make it Pretty Monday party which goes live tonight at 8:00PM CDT. http://www.thededicatedhouse.com Hope to see you there. Have a lovely week ahead! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
ReplyDelete#1. Where does the time go!!! 4 years! The LORD bless them greatly!
ReplyDelete#2. I'm not into those movies either, but it was better than the news channel being on like most places have.
#3. I go Thursday. I cancelled one in December until next year.
#4. My Sunday School classroom has been done with new window covers! It looks great too!
#5. Let me know what Jerry likes!
#6. Yes, even more when my neighbor friend, Alice, brought me a big plate of food that will last me a few days, ha!
#7. It's amazing the beauty the LORD has for the skies around the times of the equinox!
#8. Encouraging friends AND family is who the LORD uses to keep us going!
#9. I've gotten where I like the dark chocolate better than the milk chocolate!
#10. Want it be great to one Day be in that bright City where we won't have to keep up with the rust, dust, and rot of this world! Streets of gold! Gold will be the City's asphalt! Foundations of Jewels! Can you imagine your present house's foundation being a solid diamond! Gates of ivory (and not from slaughtered elephants!) No shedding of blood or destruction will be found there! Praise GOD! I surely thank Him for my salvation in Christ!
#11. Isn't it amazing how so easy things look when someone else does it, ha!
#12.I have found myself looking for the Publix brand of things; not just because they are cheaper, but because of their quality!
Love you all, Susan
Love your Thankful postings. I didn't realize that Netflix now has Fixer Upper on it! Love their show. I don't know if you saw, but I commented about your posting on our before and after kitchen. Have a beautiful weekend!
