Happy Veterans Day Sweet Encouragers

and

Welcome to Thankful Thursday!

Hope you have had a very lovely

Thursday and will have a fab Friday.

Since it is Veterans Day

I think my 

#1

Thankful

will be for all those dear Veterans out

there who have made the freedoms we

enjoy possible.  My Father in law was

a WWII Veteran,  my hubby and brothers

and a several dear friends were Viet Nam

Veterans and we have had and known

others from the Dessert Storm and Iraq

and Afghanistan wars.

We salute you!!  We honor You!!

For your love of God and Country

For your bravery in the face of horrific

circumstances,  and for standing with

and for this country, and being willing

to lay down your lives,  and we our

thankful for you and your families who

 have also sacrificed with you!!

Thank You from the bottom of

our hearts!!

#2

I am thankful

for flannel jamies to lounge around

in when the weather is chilly.

I just love they are so comfy/cozy!!

#3

I am thankful

that a dear friend that called today

sounds better than she has in a long

time,  she has been under a lot of stress

and under the heap,  so what a delight

to hear her sounding so good, in fact,

they are coming over in a bit,  and we

are really looking forward to it.

They came and we had a great time.

So happy she is doing so well!

#4

I am thankful

for answer phones because we get a bazillion 

solicitation calls a day or so it seems anyway.

Even tho we are on the National don't call

list,  go figure!!

I really don't like to be rude to people cause

I realize it is their job,  but some of them

will just not take No for an answer,  so the

answer phone solves that lil problem for me!!

#5

I am thankful

for toothbrushes and toothpaste!

Can you only imagine what our teeth would

look like without them. ewwwwww!!

 don't even want to think about it!! lol

#6

I am thankful

that we have indoor bathrooms, imagine

having to go outside in the cold, with

spiders and critters during the night!!

No Thank You!!

I am thankful we are blessed so much

with indoor plumbing for the bathroom,

 but for the kitchen as well.

#7

I am thankful

for leftovers because I haven't had to 

cook all week,  so that was a fun 5 day

 Anniversary present!!

Hey, it works for me!!  lol

#8

I am thankful

for the discovery of Hobby Lobby stores and

 for a fun day out on Tuesday enjoying it!!

#9

I am thankful

for pretty pictures, and home decor 

accessories to decorate our homes with.

We could live without them,  but I sure

wouldn't want to!!

Cause I like feathering my Nest!! lol

#10

I am thankful

that Publix supermarkets have a lemon

crunch cake that is okay for us to eat,

it has healthy oils and no hydrogenation

oils.  It's so delicious,  like a pound cake

with powdered sugar drizzled on it!

and Yum, 

 we just got one for our company!!

#11

I am thankful

for music because it can really put you

in a great mood and be so encouraging

and uplifting.  I love to listen to

 contemporary christian music,  but also

I love music that sometimes comes from

movies we have watched.  Typically,

I am not crazy about music on blogs, cause

I find it distracting while I am trying to

read unless you have access to shut it

off quickly,  but there is a blog I go to

that everytime I go there it immediately

cheers me up because it has music from

the movie "You've got mail", and we

love that movie and the music.

#12

I am thankful

for sweet lil surprise gifts from friends,

like this

This was how it was packaged!

Love the cute lil stamped tree on the tag!!

I hung it on a drawer knob from a ribbon.

Looks cute!!

But what is it you say???

No Candy,  It is pumpkin pie spice

Goats milk soap!!  and it smells 

soooooooo good!!  It was purchased

from someone's etsy shop.
