Hello Sweet Friends

and

Welcome to Thankful Thursday

*

Well......It has been a splendid and fun day,

 as Becky was here for lunch to celebrate her birthday

 and we had a good days chin waggin and eating session.

*

That would be 

#1

on my Thankful list this week.

*

#2

I am thankful 

for what a Wonderful person Becky is,

and how she brightens up the lives of those

she comes in contact with,  she is a true jewel

as many of you already know.  If you have not

met her you might want to go over and visit her

and see for yourself.  Just click here.

#3

I am thankful to the Lord

for how wonderful my hubby is doing in spite

of his job loss.  His faith is strong and his

attitude terrific. I am so proud of him!!

*

#4

I am thankful

for yard work and a John Deere tractor cause it gives

a guy something to do to feel like he is accomplishing

something!  and What guy doesn't love and feel manly

riding on a John Deere,  give them a tractor and they

are happy happy campers. 

*

And just look at that smile.

#5

I am thankful

for that smile,  and for the Wonderful

man that is wearin' that smile!!

*

#6

I am thankful

for all the yard work we have accomplished

so far,  and that there is plenty more to do

to keep this sweet man busy!!  I really think

this is a blessing to us, because we have so

much cutting back that needs to be done

and we have such a hard time having the

time to do it....cause by the time he gets

home at 6 p.m. and changes clothes and

we have dinner,  not too much time left

over for yard work,  plus now we are

in the season of mowing once a week.

Already????

Has nothing to do with anything I am writing just wanted to 

share it) lol

#7

I am thankful

for You,  all my sweet bloggy friends who

have been so supportive, caring, prayerful and

 encouraging during this time.

You are just too Sweet and Amazing!!

and I love you guys, well, uh Girls!!

You know what I mean!! lol

*

#8

I am thankful

that the same sweet friend who got her

divorce decree (that she did not want)  a few weeks ago, 

 had an MRI done, and they were looking for

brain tumors and there was None.

Praise the Lord!!

*

(Our lil Cardinal friend has been back many times since I 

lasted posted his picture,  this is is right side view!  lol

They just tickle me soooo..... as I watch them just flutter and

frolic about and have such a delightful time taking a bath,

who knew it could be such fun!!)  lol

*

#9

I am thankful

for a riding mower and good lawn equipment

that makes it so much faster for us to do the 

lawn and make it look so nice.  I do most of

the mowing and that way, it frees Jim up to do

the weed eating and edging,  we just finished and

 it looks great and we are done in less than an hr

 and a half, with everything put away to boot!!

Not Bad for old folks!! lol

(He's having more fun fluttering those wings and getting all wet)

#10

I am thankful

 for how pleasant and comfortable it was

when we went to Jimmy's office to get his things on

Tuesday.  Everyone was so nice, and you could tell

they all felt so bad!  We spent the first hr or two just

talking with them.  I had met all but one before, so it

was actually a fun time considering why we were there!! lol

*

#11

I am thankful

we got to go see "Letters to God"  finally.  Our gift

certificates even covered our popcorn and water, so

it was pretty much a free movie date other than $2.00.

Not bad, I'd say!!  And the movie was just great!

Unapologetically Christian and it is based on a true

story about a young boy who had cancer.  It is truly

stunning to find these sorts of movies in the public

theatres,  what a joy that it!!

*

#12

I am thankful

I finally got my wreath decorated and put up

on the front of the house.  It was about time!!  lol

*

Remember this..... you saw it in some tablescapes as

a centerpiece.  Bought  2 of them at the end of summer last

year for $4.00 each,  they have them this year for $25.00, 

I think it is.  Boy,  $8.00 vs $50.00 sounds like a blessing

to me!!  lol

*

I wired the 2 together with long pipe cleaners, and stuck in 

some pink flowers and a bow I had and this is what I got.

*

*

Nice and Springy!!

*

And to make a baker's dozen.

#13

I am thankful

Dee and her boyfriend are coming to dinner

tomorrow night,  so we will get to spend 

some one on one time just with them for

a change.  Been wanting to do that for a

 while now.

*

Gotta add this too!!

#14

I am thankful

that the young couple we have been working

with is still doing great.  We talked about

some time pressure issues this week,  but

they are fine and working well together.

We are pleased as punch and so very

proud of them.  We asked them to pray

together at least once a week,  and they

are doing it more than once a week, is

that great or what!!  It makes me smile

every time I think about them!!

*

Have a great Evening with your

 family Sweet friends,

*

Love and Blessings,

Nellie
