Welcome to Thankful Thursday - July 8, 2010

Greetings Sweet Friends

*

Have are you this fine sunny day??

*

Course, it may not be sunny where

you are........but hope your mood

is sunny at least!!

*

Guess what we did at 11 P.M.

last night???

*

And it is all Bonnie's fault

(Bonnie from over at

one designing woman)

*

See.....she posted about her mother

in laws "Zucchini Pancakes" a few

weeks ago,  so I went and got the

Zucchini to make them,  but forgot

about it, 

*

 so while I was going thru more

 magazines to throw out, I

happened to see a picture of those

rascals and recipe,  and they looked

so good I decided to make them...

that was at 10 p.m.,  but then we

had to exercise,  and then my flour

and bisquick were out of date,  so

then I realized I had a Krusteaz

CornBread mix,

*

 So I mixed up the batter and 

hubby and I had separate

frying pans and fried our

lil hearts out.

*

They were delicious..... you

put some sour cream on them.

Next time I will put some diced

up tomatoes on top of that.

*

We also split one and tried it

with a lil honey,  good that

way too!!  lol

*

Then we had frozen yogurt

with strawberries.

*

Do you ever do crazy things

like that???

*

If not, you should, it breaks

up the routine of life. 

We certainly couldn't do that

 everyday,  but it is just fun to do 

something different and out of 

the ordinary every so often!!

*

So guess that would be my

#1

*

I am thankful 

for simple, out of the ordinary

 things we can do to have good,

clean, fun that will,

spice up our lives a bit!!

*

#2

*

I am thankful

that I have such an easy going,

fun loving hubby.  He is usually

game for most anything, and he

is my best friend!!  I am teasing

him that he has become my new

best girlfriend!!  I saw that on

these videos we have been

 watching, another empty nester

wife said that about her hubby

and he beamed!!

*

#3

*

I am thankful

for a sweet unexpected visit

from a dear friend  this week,

and she brought me these

adorable lil candles.  They

even smell like chocolate.

Made me want to eat them!! LOL

*

 Aren't they adorable.  I am

in search of just the right place

to display them!!

*

*

#4

*

I am thankful

that my daughter let us hang out

at her place last Saturday and watch

cable even tho she wasn't gonna be

at home (nice change of scenery)

and then she wound up coming home

early and making us dinner.

The Lord is really developing such

a servant heart in her and it is

a joy to see!!

*

#5

*

I am thankful

that the Lord continues to show

us how well He is able to take

care of us.  This week a girl from

 our church who works at an optical

place took my frames and was gonna

get an estimate for me to get new lenses,

cause she said she could probably get

me the best deal.  She called on Tuesday

and said they had my lenses in stock

and that she can bring my glasses to

me on Sunday,  and that they will be

No charge!! I really couldn't believe it,

God is just so amazing how he uses

people to do things for us.

 Can't get a much better

deal than that!! 

*

#6

*

I am thankful

for another old and dear friend of

30 years,who lives in Gainesville she

 and her hubby call us often to see how

 we are, and to let us know they are 

praying for us.  They have been some of

 our best friends and mentors for years.

They are priceless friends!! Am hoping our 

mansions in heaven will be right next door

 to each other!! lol

#7

*

I am thankful

for these really neat marriage dvd's we 

received this week and have been 

watching.  They are really great!! and

they are very inexpensive as that type

of dvd goes.  Only $25.00 ,  well worth

the $$$ spent. They are by a hubby and

 wife team named John and Stassi Eldridge.

I am thankful

that the Lord is teaching us more

about praying about everything.

He says to pray without ceasing,

and if you look at the times we live

 and love in,  it really is necessity

to pray about everything,  and when

we do...........it is simply amazing!!

*

#9

*

I am thankful

we have the opportunity to

house a young lady who is going

into missions and who will be in

our area for a conference this 

weekend, and needs a place to

stay.  We are looking forward to

meeting her.We already know

her boyfriend, and he made the

arrangements with us.
