Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 20, 2011

Happy Thankful Thursday Sweet Peas,

So what is going on your corner 

of the world???

Some good things....I hope!

Been a good week thus far, so anticipating the same

 for the rest of the week.  Once again I will sort of tell

 you what I have been up to via my thankfuls.............

#1

I am thankful

that we got a text message from Dee and Jerry

and they are at their next destination.  So was

very happy to know that!!  When they return

I will tell you where they went...............

#2

I am thankful

for what a glorious and cool day it was today.

It was a great day to be out.........and I was.....

First, I went to bible study,  then shopping for

 stuff I still needed for reception and then some

grocery stuff too.

#3

I am thankful

for all the sweet ladies that are in the bible study and how

they all go out of their way to make me feel welcome and

apart of things.

#4

I am thankful

for wonderful memories,  this Fall table vignette

you see above..... holds lots of treasured memories

for me and hubby.

#5

I am thankful

that we had the priviledge of living in Germany when we were

 just barely over a year married.  This Thomas Kincaide

picture so reminds me of Germany.  We lived their 40

years ago,  and it was an absolutely wonderful and 

fascinating experience for us both.

#6

I am thankful

for this sort of beat up hummel music box,

my hubby brought me way back then.  Course,

it wasn't beat up when he brought it to me,

  but it has had a lot of wear and tear since.
  It plays our theme song from the first movie
 we saw together as a blind date.  

#7

I am thankful

for this Hummel with the bunnies as well.

Another gift from hubby when we were living

over there.  I drag all of these out every

year in the fall,  cause they match the colors,

and they bring up great memories right

before our Anniversary in November.

So guess that is what prompted a lot

of this post!!  lol

#8

I am thankful

for a fun day out shopping.  I really do have

such fun cause I don't go out shopping by

myself as much as I used to,  so I have to

say I  am enjoying my own company!!  lol

#9

I am thankful

for the Thomas Kincaide, and what a gifted

 artist he is,  I simply adore all his work, and

also a book by him called "Simple Life" for

the prose is as beautiful as the paintings.

I especially like this picture that hangs in

my hallway, actually it is a puzzle that was

done years ago by our bible study kids,

who each did a lil bit and we didn't have the

heart to just stuff it back in the box,  so found

a nice frame at Good Will and framed it.

The bible study started with hubby just trying

to teach my son,  then his friend David joined

them,  and then it just mushroomed from

there, so most of them are my sons age, and

 now married having or have families of their own.

Those were so good times!!

Something about this time of year makes

me so nostalgic.........don't really know why!!

#10
I am thankful
I have been able to get so much done this
week as the big event is approaching quickly,
so the more done now,  the less stress next
week,  and the more I can enjoy it.

#11

I am thankful

for the really fun time we had with Scott and Megan

last Saturday,  we visited, had dinner and played

a game called Apples to Apples.  

#12

I am thankful

that I found the things I needed to make a cute, yet

inexpensive door decoration, that I saw online for the 

reception.  I will be sure to take a picture of it once it is up!

Probably want put it up till the night before.

#13

I am thankful

I was able to get a hair appt. for tomorrow,  which

was amazing since I have not been to her in such

a long time.  Another thing out of the way,  as I am

trying to clear the deck as much as possible for

next week,  cause you know, you always think you

have everything done then many things spring up

at the end that you forget about.  Am sure hoping

not many!!  lol

#14 

I am thankful

(Just had to throw this in too) for friends that are

so sweet to pray for us when we need it.  We had

a distressing relational situation happen this week, 

 and I called or wrote a number of my friends and asked

 them to please pray for us and the upcoming event.

What a treasure that is...................

Well girlies,  I am a tired woman, been busy

all week,  and out all day,  so I am gonna go 

chill out for a bit!!

Oh yea,  have to tell you about a really great

movie we watched last night called" Not

easily broken".  It is a story about a family

that got their priorities out of wack,  and

all that happens................it really is a great

movie,  we highly recommend it,  another

movie from Netflix.

Thanks for your visit,  and I 

hope you have a lovely weekend, 

 with family and/or friends and

 furry friends.  lol

Love hearing from you ..............

Love, Hugs, and

Nostalgic Blessings to you!
