Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 27, 20ll

This is same vignette but with new flowers pretty yellow

 and orange Mums with a few Sunflowers left over!

Take delight in the LORD
 and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

Evening Sweet Peas,

How in the world are you???

 I am busy..... getting ready still. 

Have done as much as I can early, 

 so seems like everything is running

 along pretty well, and sure hope it

 stays that way.  lol

I am gonna give you a snap shot of

my week again, thru my thankfuls.......

#1

I am thankful

for faithful friends of many years, and my new bloggy 

friends who have prayed for us during this exciting time,

as well as the time during hubbies lay off.  You guys

are all wonderful and so appreciated.

We are feeling those prayers for the reception and so 

please don't quit,  not until after the 29th!!  lol

I am sure that is why things are going so well.....

#2

I am thankful

that Dee and Jerry got home safe and sound

and had a wonderful honeymoon in St. Lucia,

where they got married, and in Puerto Rico.

#3

I am thankful

that their Wedding Video came out so nicely,

as well,  as the pictures.  They really had a very

good photographer.  Hopefully,  next week I

might be able to show you some of them.

#4

I am thankful

to be able to enjoy hearing about them

feathering their new nest,  they are just so

excited,  and it thrills a Mom and Dad's

heart,  and we can't wait to see what they

have done to the new apartment since

we were there last,  but this is their last

week off,  so we want to give them

 their space!!  

#5

I am thankful

that I found all the roses I needed today

to make the floral arrangements.  I was

concerned about that,  and only had to

go to 2 Publix stores!!

 Ask and ye shall receive....................

#6

I am thankful

that I did not take a fall today when I was

out.  The floor was uneven in the dollar store

and my flip flop type sandal caught the edge

of the floor and it tripped me pretty hard,

but praise the Lord I did not fall or even

hurt my toesies!!  lol

#7

I am thankful

that I found some battery operated twinkle

lights at Target today for just #1.99 each.

I wanted to either put candles along the

edges of the screened porch or put some

light in a faux tree we have out there.

Hubby was not in favor of the candles,

he would like to avoid burning the house

down!  lol   Personally,  I  thought it would be 

fine,  but after  almost 41 years of marriage I

have learned to listen to my hubby.  So this

was another answer to prayer.

#8

I am thankful

that our friend Becky from over at Junk to Joy

offered to come and help me tomorrow,  if

need be..............I am not a good delegator,

so will have to see what I have left tomorrow,

and if I can delegate something!!  lol

and am thankful and  thrilled she and hubby are

 going to come to the reception as well.

#9

I am thankful

that next week I can relax a little and not work

so much every day......but I am so glad I have

been able to do that,  cause I think the end

is gonna be more pressure free,  at least,

I am hoping.........................lol

and I love these times cause it tends to make

you get things done that needed doing anyway

#10

I am thankful

for leftover chicken and dumplings, chili I had

frozen,  and steamed shrimp and potato salad

from Publix,  cause haven't been doing a lot

of cooking this week,  cause we have been

trying to work in the yard in the evening,  and

I have been out there some mornings.

#11

I am thankful

for "OFF" mosquito repellent, for if it was not for

OFF,  we would not have been able to work out

there,  they are horrendous and voraciously

hungry for humans and animals it seems!! 

and I am not kidding or exaggerating either.

#12

I am thankful

for a sweet card I got from another bloggy

friend,  Janet over at Janet and Marvins life.

It came in the snail mail today,  and was so

sweet and encouraging.  Such a blessing!!

Well,  that is my list,  and as 
you can see, I have been rather 
one track................

but that has been my week,

and it is a great track!!  lol

Hope you have a Wonderful
 Wonderful Weekend!!

Love,  Hugs, and 
 Happy Celebration Blessings,

Nellie
