(All flower photos compliments of  http://www.photos8.com/)




In Everything give thanks....for this is the will
 of God in Christ Jesus for you!!
1 Thessalonians 5:18


Evenin' Sweet Peas,


So how has your Thursday been???


Have to say mine went pretty well,  and way
better than I expected, since I had to go back
for the 2nd part of my root canal!!  lol


I wasn't really anywhere close to as nervous 
as last time,  so that was good,  but just didn't
expect to be feeling as good as I am, so that
would be my praise

I am thankful

that my root canal is completed - went at 11:30 today,

and it is all over and there was no pain, and I came out

feeling real good, so I am a happy camper!!

  Just have to get the tooth filled now at my reg. dentist in a

 few weeks,  and then I should be home free!!  yeah!

I am thankful

for those killer massages they give at my

Chiropractors office,  they alone are worth

the trip.  lol

Course, the adjustments are what really does
the work of making you feel better for 
the long run!!

I am thankful

for blow dryers and curling wands for without

them my hair would sure be a mess.  Plus they

make doing your hair so easy,  cause I am not

really good with doing my hair.

I am thankful

that we have Rosie visiting again.  She just has

such an adorable personality, and she really cracks

us up - cause she dances and growls to get my

hubby to give her a dog cookie.  We call her

the "Cookie Queen".

I am thankful

it is officially Fall today!!  I just love Fall....  and

I am gonna wear my first jeans since April or May,
(course, I will still wear shorts cause it is still hot, fall
or not)  Hey that rhymes, guess I am just a poet and
didn't know it!!  lol

Will start wearing darker colored clothes and shoes
to church anyway.  I am a southern girl,  and you don't
 wear white shoes after  Labor Day,  but the last few years
 I have overcome that old rule, but,  I have to say I felt a lil
 funny about it, wearing  white heels and a clearly summer
 outfit last Sunday,  but I just told myself officially
 it is still Summer!    So you are good to go girl!!  lol

Amazing how those things your Mom taught you

stick with you so well!!  lol

I am thankful

for irons and ironing boards.  I know that sounds

crazy, but imagine how wrinkled and awful we would

 look when we wear cotton and linen fabrics of which

I wear all the time,  cause polyester makes me too hot.

I like to look crisp and fresh when I got out,  not so

much that I like ironing but I do love the results.

Actually,  I don't mind ironing at times and it can

be quite enjoyable if I can watch something good

on TV while I do it.  Once one of Dee's boyfriends

happened to be here while I was ironing cloth

napkins and he wanted to know why I was doing

that!!  lol   So Dee asked me...........and I said

cause they look much nicer on the table that if

they are a wrinkled mess!!

Does anyone agree with Me on that!!  lol

I am thankful

for cloth napkins,  cause they just add a touch

of class to a lovely table.  Not that I don't use

paper,  but I really started using more cloth napkins

for everyday use to help spare our trees,  thinking

that was a good thing,  then someone said but then

you have to wash and iron them and that uses

precious resources too!!   That sort of seems like

a no win situation when you put it that way!!  

I still like clothe napkins better!!  lol

Who Knows???

I am thankful

to the Lord Jesus for his wonderful faithfulness

in providing for us.  Jim got more work this month

from his old Company,  but looks like it will be 

 much more than the previous months.  The Lord
knows about all these chiropractic and dental 
bills.  He is soooooooo good to us!!
and He is faithful to us in everyway!!

Praise His Name!!

I am thankful

for christian movies,  and that we are seeing more 

and more of them in the theatres.  Movies like Fireproof, 

 Secrets of Jonathan Sperry,  Facing the Giants,  and  One

 night with the King.  That is so refreshing!! 

 And Amazing,  given the day and age we live in.

We saw one this week,  we had never seen before,

we got it from Netflix,  it is called "You, Me and Us

Forever",  and it is based on a true story.  It was

not at all what I expected,  but it was a really good

story, so think you would enjoy it.

I am thankful

Dee was able to come over this week and have

dinner with us on Monday evening,  always a 

thrill to a Mom's heart, and a dad's as well!!

I am thankful

I had zucchini pancakes that I had made in the
freezer as they went very well with Parmesan crusted 
tilapia and roasted asparagus for din din tonight.
They have really come in handy a number of times
when I needed to make something quick or just
wanted a  healthy snack.

I am thankful
for the lovely, peaceful, quiet and delightful time
I have just come in from - I have been sitting
out in the backyard with a nice cup of coffee
and reading a simply delightful book that was
given to me by a sweet friend last year.

It is called " Give Thanks"  by Karla Dornacher
and here is her web address if you would like to check
 out her website.www.karladornacher.com/ and this
is her blog. http://www.karladornacher.typepad.com/


  She has a number of books and she does all her own 
writing and art work, they are inspirational, beautiful, fun
and full of whimsy!!  

Isn't it cute!!




Unfortunately,  when I went to get her address,
it says her book store is closed for right now,
as she is in the middle of a move,  but decided
to give it to you anyway,  cause you can still go over
 and see what she has,  and maybe if you wanted to
 get something later!!  


I do not know her personally, but was introduced
to her book, via Becky over at Holiday in the Sun,
she doesn't know her personally either,  but we 
both adore her workmanship and inspiration.


I will show you a few pics from her book, and
if you go over to Beckys blog, 
http://holidayinthesun-becky.blogspot.com/2010/09/cup-of-joy.html



 She had a post about her on Monday with
a few pictures.  I'm not trying to copy her,  I just love
the book and think this lady deserves to be known.

May you have a Wonderful Fall Friday
