Welcome to Thankful Thursday - June 3, 2010

Good Evening Sweet Friends,

*

Hope your Thursday has been a good one.

*

I really can't believe it is Thursday already,

course,  guess that is because of the short

 work week.

*

Our day is going well...........and hubbies day

is going really well!  He is doing some consulting

work for his old Company as I write,  he is 

working away over there with gusto!  lol

So guess that would be my

#1

I am thankful 

for the fact,  he is getting some consulting

work already.  He is already a happy man

but this just adds icing to the cake!!  If you

know what I mean!!

*

#2

I am thankful

for a number of the men in our church 

that have been so sweet and supportive to

Jimmy by calling and praying with him,  and

just letting him know they are sorry about

his lay off and that they are praying.  One

fellow even told us the Lord had been

waking him up at night to pray for him.

How neat is that!!

#3

I am thankful

that Dee is coming to do my hair tonight,

and to have dinner and  hang out awhile since

 Jimmy has a meeting tonight at church.

  It will be a fun girls night!! lol

*

#4

I am thankful

for the great time we had with the family

on Memorial Day.  That is always such

a blessing,  and one I never want to take

for granted,  cause you never know how

long everyone will be living in the same area.

*

#5

I am thankful

that we have had Rosie all week,  it has

added a lot of fun to our week.  She has

to go home tonight!!  Poo!!  lol

(Rosie our lil furry grandaughter dog)

*

#6

I am thankful

that Scott's girlfriend's MRI came out all

clear,  since she has been having awful

Migraine headaches,  and especially since

Brain Aneurysm's run in the family.

That is truly a relief to all of us,  she is

such a sweetie.  

and

If you feel so lead please pray the Dr.

will be able to find a way to help her 
with these Migraine headaches.

*

#7

I am thankful

for the nice emails that Jimmy has

gotten from people at work,  particularly

one from the fellow that had to lay him off.

It was very supportive, encouraging, 

heartfelt,  and reassuring.  I know it had

to make him feel great!

*

#8

I am thankful

that he was able to get the car fixed

and that it was just the battery,  and

that we had the $$ to buy the battery.

*

#9

I am thankful

that Dee was not hurt in anyway 

yesterday morning because someone

rear-ended her car for the 6th or 7th time.

Seriously,  it has been that many times 

maybe even more.  It is like this girl has

a bulleyes on her car!!

Fortunately,  he just tapped her, cause

he was in a big Ford F-10.  Hate to think

if he had been going any rate of speed

what could have happened.

Thank the Lord for his protection.

#10

I am thankful

for all the rain we have been getting

 this week.  We have been praying for a dear 

 friend  who lives in an area where the water is

 terribly expensive and her lawn is dying from 

lack of water,  and they are on water restrictions

 and she could get a ticket if she waters more.

She is no longer married,  and has just been 

thru such a horrible time in the last 4 years, and

 has redone that area of her yard at least 3 times

 now, and it has been doing so well, up until now.

Can't imagine how frustrated she must be.

  Yea! It is getting ready to pour again,  I can 

hear it blowing and see the dark clouds.  

Actually it is now pouring,  sure hope it is

 raining at her house too!!

*

#11

I am thankful

for new, fast and easy recipes.  They get my

creative juices flowing and get me in the mood 

to cook,  when I need some inspiration.

We are having one tonight.  You take an egg-

plant and cut it into slices, then marinate it

 in light Italian salad dressing and then grill

them. 

 Since it is still raining I will probably  need to

roast mine in the oven,  but I have decided I will 

add some panko crumbs to the top and broil

 them.  Am hoping for the taste of eggplant

parm,  since I will be serving it with 

spaghetti pie!  Ummm I can hardly wait.

I will let you know how it turns out!!

*

#12

I am thankful

 that the police have finally got the guy in
custody that was involved in the disappearance 
of that 18 yrs old, christian girl from
 Alabama, that was in Aruba for her grad trip, 
Natalie Holloway.  Maybe we will
 soon see justice served!!  

*

Well Folks,  that would be my list

for this week.

*

Hope you have a great Friday!

*

Blessings and Hugs,

Nellie

So what are you thankful for???
