Greetings Sweet Friends,

So.....what kind of week have

you been having???

Hope things are going well for

you and yours.

Things are going well over here.

I am happy to say that my Thanksgiving

menu and most of the food shopping

 is done.

Have also been working on our table,

and I have that pretty much worked out

just still working on the centerpiece.

Hopefully, I can finish that today,

if my creative juices are flowing.  lol

So guess my

#1

 thankful would be that 

*

I am thankful 

I have accomplished all of the above

 because it keeps the stress down, 

 and I just love that!!

#2

I am thankful

for God's continued provision for us.

Hubby got more work from his old Co.

again.  God is always right on time,

he has been so amazingly faithful,

and we are soooooooo grateful!!

#3

I am thankful

for some really quick answers to 

prayer this week.  Love when the Lord

does that,  it is so reassuring.

#4

I am thankful

for my hubbies old boss and his old

Company because they are the financial

source God has chosen to provide for us.

#5

I am thankful

for yard work we got done this week,

and for fallen leaves that we can rake

up and they become free mulch!

Love that too!!

#6

I am thankful

for God's protection over Scott.

He was driving in the early hours of

the morning in a remote area of Fla.

when a large dog ran in front of him

and he barely had time to hit the brakes,

 so of course, he hit the dog going 50 mph. 

 and killed the poor dog,  we are sad to say,

 but so thankful, Scott is fine!

#7

I am thankful

for an unordered shipment of Gevalia

coffee that we rec'd this week. Told

 them I didn't order it, and would just

ship it back, and they said they would 

give it to me at 50% off and I said No,

 I would just ship it back, so the girl

 said, I'll just make it a Christmas

 present!!  Believe it or not,  this

same thing happened last year!!

It was a fun surprise blessing from

the Lord then,  just as it is now!!

#8

I am thankful

that hubby is making progress on

things towards his business.  He has

a great idea, and I think it is gonna

really go somewhere when the Lord

is ready!

#9

I am thankful

for the internet, not just because

of blogging and email, but because

you can find all sorts of helpful

information. I was having a problem

with my hair...it had a wierd texture

all of a sudden, and was hard to do

anything with it,  sorta limp and

heavy so thought maybe I needed a

clarifying shampoo,  so typed in

"Best Clarifying shampoo"  and one

came up called "Neutregena, Anti

Residual shampoo",  it had tons of

positive reviews, so looked up a

store near me and went and bought

it.  Had to use it several times

and now,

*

#10 

I am thankful

that it worked, and my hair is back to it's

 bouncy behaving self....and Dee is coming 

tonight to do my hair, and to have dinner with us.

Didn't get to finish before Dee Arrived,
so will finish now.

#11

I am thankful
for the fun time Dee and I had while
she was here,  I love talking with her
cause sometimes she just cracks me
up, and sometimes she warms her
Mother's heart.  
She did a great job on my hair as
usual,  it came out a wee bit darker
than usual,  but that was my fault.
I decided to try a different brand of 
haircolor (same shade) just in case the 
old one was what might be causing my 
earlier hair issues.
I like it tho,  and it is nice and silky
and manageable once again.  Yeah!!
and
we got to keep Rosie till Thanksgiving!!


#12
I am thankful
for my fairly new oven,  it is not quite
2 years old, but has been such a blessing.
I made our entire din din in the oven
tonight and I am thankful it came out so
 good,  hubby said it was primo dinner!!

Lemon pepper panko coated Tilapia
Baked potatoes
Oven Roasted Brocoli
foccacia bread w/ dipping spices/olive oil


Have you ever tried oven roasted brocoli???


All I can say..... is you gotta try it
It is really soooooooo good!!
