Welcome to Thankful Thursday - Sept. 9, 2010

Evenin' Sweet Encouragers

Hope this finds you well

and full of gratitude!!

I've had a good day myself.....we woke up bright and early, and

hubby and I cleaned our porch. So guess that would be my

#1

I am thankful

we were finally able to get her done, and tomorrow and the days

 after we can sit out there in the early morning  when it is cool

 (between 7-9 usually) and drink coffee or eat breakfast, and

just be refreshed by all God's beauty since we have been stuck

 inside so much due to the Florida heat!!

Ahhhhhhhhh!!  Just the thought of it!!

I am thankful I got a special delivery from someone most 

of you know and love, Miss Becky from Holiday in the Sun.

I bought something from her new Etsy shop, and she delivered

 it to me and was able to have some coffee and snacks for a

 short while. Always fun to visit with her!!

And

if you haven't visited her new Etsy shop yet,  cause you missed

 my post on Monday because of the holiday, please go over 

and check it out.  She has sooo many cute items!!

She also brought me an extra gift (an adorable lil pumpkin)

 because I was one of her first 10 customers.  You still have

 time to be one,  if you get right on over there.

She also has a promo going until Saturday evening as well.

I am thankful

that Becky has this great opportunity to fulfull a long time

 dream,  and she is having so much fun with it.

Good for you Beck,  you go girl!!

#4

I am thankful

that a long time friend of 27 years called, and came by

to visit us tonight.  It is always great to see her,  she

is a real sweetie,  and has been thru a lot in the last

years,  but has done amazingly well in spite of it all.

God's grace has truly been sufficient in her life!!

#5

I am thankful

that it is feeling like Fall to me already.  I am loving

the cooler mornings,  and love the fun things I do this

 time of the year, like making Pumpkin butter yesterday,

 and it is so delish I must say!!  Also love that soon I will

be making different foods like soups and stews.

I  just love that!!

#6

I am thankful

that Scott started his new job this week and all

went well,  and he really thinks he is gonna love it.

What a joy to our hearts and his!!

He was excitedly telling me about the farms that

he got to visit.  A tomato farm,  that was 2,000

acres,  and a large Caladium farm,  can't remember

how large it was seems like he said 500 acres

but not sure.  We can't wait to see him in person

so we can hear more details.

#7

I am thankful

that the root canal I had last Thursday seems to have

done the trick,  and  is not giving me any trouble.

Still have to go back on the 23rd for another 

treatment,  but just soooo happy it is working.

Praise His Name!!

#8

I am thankful

for cards, games and movies that have been such

a blessing to us during this time of lay off.  They

have brought more fun and laughter to our lives.

I told Jimmy that if he didn't stop beating me

at cards,  that the Lord was not gonna hear his

prayers,  cause he wasn't living with his wife

in an understanding way!!  lol

#9

I am thankful

to be off all the meds and sleeping well thru the

night once again.  Having to get up and eat and

take meds during the night is just a tad disruptive

to my sleeping, and was also making me gain weight.

#10

I am thankful

that I can type normally for a longer period of time

now,  which means that nerve is just about healed,

and I am also able to use my arms some while

exercising although,  I am still taking it easy with

it,  just doing a more modified version. It just feels

so good to be able to use them again,  and I feel

like I am getting a better workout.

#11

I am thankful

Jim got all my Fall decorations down for me today,

and that I can finally start decorating the house.  I

did do the kitchen table today,  but that was

all I could do until we got the others out of the attic.

But it was so fun burning the Fall candles,  they

smell so good.  My house smelled like apple and

pumpkin pie today!!

Just love it!!

#12

I am thankful

 that I am finished with my post, cause it is past  time for me

 to go to bed and I am really getting sleepy!!  lol
