Praise the Lord, O my soul.

I will praise the Lord all my life,

I will sing praise to my God as

long as I live.

Psalm 46:2

Greetings Sweet Peas,

So how has your week been???

Bright and Cheery, I hope!

Here it is again.........Thursday,

Really can't get over how quickly

these weeks go..............

It has been a rather uneventful week around here

but it has been a good week.  The highlight of our

week was Dee's birthday celebration, cause as you

know by now, we always love getting the family together!

Which makes me think of a thankful for my list

#1

I am thankful

for the great birthday week she had...............

and the great time we had celebrating before and

after her birthday.  There is still one more tablescape

to come..................much more casual tho!

Will share it next week probably.

 #2

I am thankful

we were able to get a red throw for her, that she has on her

wedding registry,  but was discontinued.  She was disappointed

that they didn't carry it anymore,  but they had some left so

we were able to get it,  which wound up being a very nice

surprise for her.  

#3

I am thankful

for this lovely young lady at Bed, Bath and Beyond,

that was such a help to me, when I was shopping for Dee's gifts.

She was the one who clued me in about the throw and she had 

such a servant heart and just went above and beyond!

She really blessed my day!!

#4

I am thankful

I was finally able to get all my pics posted for 

Tablescape Thursday since I had already invested

a lot of time,  even if it was later than usual.

#5

I am thankful

we got some much need yard work done that

was beyond the norm.  Not as much as I would

have liked but it is a good start.............

#6

I am thankful

that it looks like hurricane Irene is going to

pass us by here in Florida,  will be even more

thankful once she has passed us,  but are sure

praying for those that have been in her path

already, and praying that she just goes out to

sea and doesn't strike anywhere else..

#7

I am thankful

it is so nice and breezy here today,  don't know

if that is because of hurricane Irene or not,

but it is most pleasant!

(update:  just heard on the news this breeziness

and wind gust are due to the hurricane,  sorta

thought so......................)

#8

I am thankful

for a full 8 hours of sleep last night,  cause that

is beginning to be a rare happening for me 

these days.

#9

I am thankful

that my hubby went to talk with our neighbor

about the dog incident I told you about earlier

in the week,  and even tho, the neighbor appeared 

to be rather inebriated, he was very sorry, apolgetic

 and nice about it all,  and even showed my husband

 where he had put in a zip line run in, so he can keep the

 dog tied up to keep the dog in, because he keeps jumping

 the fence which is a 6 ft. wood fence. He said the german

 shepherd only does it when the Rottweilers does so......  I

 haven't seen hide nor hair of them since.  The neighbor also

 said if this doesn't work he might have to get rid of the dog.

Felt bad to hear that,  so sure hope the zipline works

#10

I am thankful

to hear that a sweet lady that passed out in our worship

service Sunday morning, and who was taken to the

 hospital is fine and home resting.

#11

I am thankful

that my hubby is enjoying his new job so much.

He is really enjoying the work atmosphere and the

things he is working on and is having good success.

He had several trying weeks in the beginning! 

 #12

I am thankful

that all of you that got the "Sweetest blog" 

award seemed so tickled and happy with it.

and thanks to all of you for your very kind

comments back to me.

Well,  that's a wrap!!  lol

Thanks for the your visit, and

love your sweet comments

Hope you have a 

Wonderous Weekend!

Love, Hugs and

No Hurricane Blessings,

Nellie
