Hello Sweet Friends,

*

and Welcome to Thankful Thursday.

*

It has been a good day, but it has truly

flown by, I can't believe it is 6p.m. already!

Where does the time go!!!

*

Just finished din din and I am getting ready

to go visit a dear friend I have not seen for

over a month, so I am very excited and can't

wait to catch up on things. Her son recently

got married, and I haven't seen pics or heard

about the wedding yet, so looking forward

to that, since we have known him since he

was probably 11 or 12, and he also used to be in

our 5-6th grade Sunday School class,

Years and Years ago, I might add!!

That makes me feel old!! Oh Well,

that is life isn't it!!

Hey, your as young as you feel, and some days

I feel 30 and other days close to 80!! ha
*

And some days I actually feel and act my age,

I'll never tell, well, what the heck,

I am almost 57 1/2 years old,

doesn't that sound like a 7 year old!! lol

You always wonder why nobody older says

that anymore!! Guess we are just not wantin

to rush the next year ahead, I suppose.

*

Ahhh, The way I see it...........is it's just a number anyway,

if you have eternal life with Jesus you never have to worry

about age! I love that!! Guess that would make

the #1 thing I am thankful for is eternal life because

of my relationship with Jesus.

Well, on withThankful Thursday,

#2 is for flowers, live would be so dull without flowers,

anyone agree with me on that!!
These flowers are all the flowers Scott planted

for us. They are Zinnia's, now I have never planted

them before and probably would not have picked

them because of that, but I am very happy with

them, they have bloomed continuously.

Isn't this a lovely double hibiscus. Sorry it is a lil bit blurry,

sorry Linnea, forgot about the macro setting. Duh!!

Well, #3 which really is #2, but somehow I loaded
the pics wrong!! Don't know how I manage that!!
My # 2-3 is the lovely day I had yesterday with
my friends. We had a nice leisurely brunch and
of course, lots of fun chatting, then Becky did
our devotional, and we made a complete day
of it!! It was wonderful, we talked about all sorts
of things. We talked in the dining room, in the
family room and in the kitchen, and I think we
pretty much left no rock unturned.




#4 is the Lord surprised me while I was setting the table
and had me come across these beautiful napkins I bought
months ago in St. Augustine, I had forgotten all about
them. So thought they were perfect for an end of the
summer brunch. Flowers Again, I just can not
resist them!!





This was suppose to come before the other one,
oh well, it is a close up anyway.






And here is the table. Was planning to take pics
later, but as usual I get caught up in the fun of things,
and that is that!
*
Oh, this time I used the little egg cups to put
the cranberry butter in, so each person had
their own personal cup. I love those lil things,
they are so handy!!

*





*
Well, # 5 is I am going to visit my friend Sharon,
and gotta get going. There is more I could say,
but lucky for you, I have to go!!
*
Have a great Friday tomorrow,
and May the Lord Bless You Really Really Good!!

Love and Blessings,
Nellie
