Welcome to Thankful Thursday - July 22, 201l

Can you guess what Molly is looking at????

Let the name of the Lord be praised,
both now and forever more.
From the rising of the sun to the place
where it sets, 
 the name of the Lord is to be praised.
Psalm 113:2-3

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How are you this fine Thursday?

Doing splendid,  I hope!


My day has consisted of talking on the phone 
mostly......... did get hubby off,  had breakfast, and
got the kitchen all cleaned up and am working
on a grocery list for later.  Also, checked out
a few blogs and left some comments.
Basically, it has been a good week I have to
say,  and last night we got the lawn mowed,
so always happy to make the yard look nice.
Amazing how fast it grows......especially when
we get rain, and it makes it so lush and green,
so that is a big plus.

This week as always,  there is plenty to be thankful
for,  so..................
My #1 thankful is........

I am thankful

that hubby was able to start working at home

on Wednesdays now.  Gives us almost an
extra 2 hrs. in the day,  so that is nice, and.
 it seemed like ole times !!

#2
I am thankful
that hubby seems to have gotten his technical 

difficulties under control.  Shew...........that was

 great news!

We were beginning to wonder...............seems 

like everything that happens lately is a test!!  lol

Think the Lord is teaching us more and more

 about praying without ceasing!!

#3
I am thankful

that we have the priviledge of discipling a new young

couple.  That is such a joy and blessing to help others

grow in their walk with the God.

#4
I am thankful

that tropical storm Bret is moving away from the coast

of the United States, and looks like it will dissapate.

That certainly works for me!!  lol

#5

I am thankful

that many of my followers have been by this week,  

cause I have missed you!!  Life happens...... and

sometimes we just don't have the time, so is great

to hear from all of you...........such a fun blessing!!

#6
I am thankful

for all the belly laughs that hubby and I get

from watching old reruns of  Everybody loves Raymond.

Most of the shows are clean and funny, and pretty much not

 a picture of what a marriage and family should be,  and only 

comical on TV for sure! But definitely funny and entertaining.

 Told hubby recently......

if we want to show a couple what not to do..... we

should tell them to watch Everybody loves Raymond!!

But it gives us our belly laughs for the day!!  lol

Think she looks a lil like a horned owl here!

#7

I am thankful

that we have a gazelle, stationary bike and lots of

Leslie Sansonne videos so we can exercise at home

and not have to get out in that heat!

This body doesn't do heat well............lol

#8

I am thankful

that I like to do yard work,  since it has to be done 

anyway......but nice to like doing it!!

I do get frustrated at times cause I can't do as much

at a time as I would like,  but this 59 yr. old body just

doesn't want to cooperate sometimes!!  lol

Just have to learn to take it in smaller increments,

that works too.  Love that it no longer drives me

crazy if things don't get done when I want. 

#9

I am thankful

that I have learned a lot more patience as I have grown

older.............

which helps with waiting and pacing myself in order to

accomplish what I used to in a few hours.  

The old Gray Mare she ain't what she used to be,

but she sure is happier and more joyful!!  lol

#10

I am thankful

for good ole southern food.  I made Kale,

squash, waldorf salad with dried cranberries,

instead of raisens (it was good but think I really

prefer the raisens), and corn cakes for din din

tonight..........and we realllllllllly enjoyed it!

Ahhhh........Molly has spied Mr. Sweepy

#11

I am thankful
that Scott called this morning and they are coming
over for a visit on Saturday.  Seems like ages since we
 have seen them,  even tho it really  hasn't been that long,


#12

I am thankful
I am meeting hubby after work to do some food 
shopping and just putz around a bit.  Always fun
to get out of the house for awhile.

Think she might think it is some type of new dog

that she is now gonna have to contend with!!  lol

#13
I am still
very thankful for Mr. Sweepy!!  Just had to throw 
that in,  he is so cute, smart and helpful, after all.




Well,  That is my list of Thankfuls for the week,

Hope you have lots to be thankful for too!!

Thanks for droppin by and for leaving all the 

sweet and encouraging comments.

You're a blessing to me!!

Love,  Hugs, and

Sweet Summer Blessings............
