Welcome to Thankful Thursday - February 17, 2011

Greeting and Salutations

Sweet Friends,

Thought I would sound a lil formal

for a change!!  lol

So....what is life like in your neck

of the woods???

Our neck of the woods, is dismal and dreary, very

overcast and looking very much like Winter, although,

it is really not all that cold out. It's about 62 degrees.

It was suppose to be sunny this week and in the 70's,

well, some days were 70,  but most days have not

been sunny.........Poo..........I was really looking

forward to getting out in the sun and doing some

yard work,  but just have not been motivated to

at all..........

But

I have to say it has been a very good week 

otherwise,  which leads me to my 

Thankful List.

#1

I am thankful

for 41 great Valentine's days with my sweet

hubby.  They are just as much fun today as

they were back then.

#2

I am thankful

for these beautiful red tulips that you see pictured
 throughout this post,  cause as most of you have
probably figured out I do love me some flowers.

#3

I am thankful

we had a nice visit from our daughter on Tuesday
evening. She was able to come have dinner with us
 as well, and it is always extra special when we
 have her all to ourselves

#4
I am thankful
that she may have found the place where
they can be married and celebrate after,
at a reasonable price.

#5

I am thankful

that I discovered that I can get the Nate Berkus
 show on our TV.  I had heard about it on some

of the blogs, in fact, one of the girls  (I think it
 was Thrifty decor chick) was actually on his 
show.  Have enjoyed watching it a few
 times already.

#6

I am thankful

we have Rosie visiting with us right now.

She is just so cute, and her antics make us laugh.

(she would be our grandaughter dog,  if you

are new to my blog)  lol

#7

I am thankful

for the delicious Veggie Lasagna Dee made for us.

We are so enjoying it,  and the not cooking!!  lol

#8

I am thankful

that our friend who had stomach cancer has been told

he is cancer free.  Praise the Lord!!

(My fav posterized affect)

#9
I am thankful
for all the photographs we have taken of our family
over the years.  Last night hubby and I were trying to
think of something different to do, so we decided to
look at all our old photos.  What fun we had with
our trip down memory lane,  and we have barely
scratched the surface,  so we have plenty more
to keep us busy another or many nights really!!

#10

I am thankful

for this delightful tea my daughter gave me for Christmas.

It is absolutely wonderful,  it is made by a Company

called Teavana,  and it is a Rooibos tea,  called

"Blueberry Bliss",  it truly is delicious,  and think

it will make a wonderful iced tea as well.

Can you tell I am already thinking spring!! 

So trying not to drink it all up before then. lol

#11

I am thankful

the sun came out around noon and we were finally able

to go out and work in the yard for awhile.  So refreshing,

and love seeing the results of cutting away the old dead

stuff, and seeing it look better right away,  but knowing

it's gonna look even better as the days go by.

(This is an affect called Cut out,  thought it looked

rather interesting)

#12

I am thankful

we got so much accomplished in the yard in

 such a short time.  Amazing how fast it goes 

with 2 people, rather than one.

#13
I am thankful
again for all the prayers and well wishes for my hubby
and this job, and even tho, we still haven't heard any
thing.......we feel secure in the fact,  that the Lord has
it all in hand,  and if this isn't the job,  the Lord only
has something better in mind!!




Hope you have enjoyed your visit,  and that you
have a Fab Friday,  and a Westful Weekend!!  
( That dratted elmer fudd) lol


But........before you go.....
I have to show you one more picture of something
that happened that we thought was pretty funny.
When we left on go out on Valentines Day my
Tulips arrangement looked like all the pics you
have seen above,  but now take a look!!

Do you see any changes???
and No....I don't mean the cards.


Don't the tulips now look like they are growing in
a pot from bulbs...........we felt like someone came
in an rearranged them while we were gone.
Guess the tulips were not happy with the way I
arranged them so they took things into
 their own stems !!  lol


Isn't that a hoot!!
I have to say I have never had that
 experience before!


Love,  Hugs and Weekend
Blessings to ya!
