Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 6, 2011

Well.... Hello There Sweet Friends,

I really am alive and well...............

Just been quite busy this week, a lot 

going on here!

So how in the world are you???

Hope all is well in your neck of the

woods, have missed you this week.

(pictures of the Sunflowers hubby gave me last week)

I will tell you about my week as I go through my Thankful List, okay??

#1

I am thankful

that although hubby fell off a ladder last Saturday, thankfully, he

 fell slowly and landed in the grass and was not hurt badly,  mainly

 scratches.  The aluminum step ladder twisted somehow and sort of

 threw him off balance, and I heard a noise behind me.....

I was mulching the flower bed, and saw the him and the ladder

 swaying and tried to run over there but didn't just couldn't get

 there quick enough. His leg got caught and he thought it might break

 his leg,  so praise the Lord, when he hit the ground he was able to

 roll, and it freed his leg. Scared the life out of me,  all I could think 

about was the wire in his chest from his open heart surgery, but

was so grateful when he was able to get up and was fine.

  He does look like he has been in a cat fight tho!!  lol   

  It also made enough noise that our neighbors across the street

 who happened to be out working in their yard too,  heard it

 and came running over!  They were very happy  too.....

to see he was okay too

#2

I am thankful

all the boys liked the "Courageous" movie, hubby said it

was really great,  and very moving.  Hard to have dry 

eyes from what I heard from a lot of the men at church.

I am thankful

on Sunday afternoon,  cause it has been a while

since we have seen them.

#4

I am thankful

that I finally got an answer from someone who was 

suppose to come and reseal the floor on our porch.

Even tho,  it wasn't the answer I wanted,  but

I just needed to know so I can make other plans.

They are having a family crisis,  and I really don't

want to burden them with this right now, so think

we are just gonna clean it really well for now,

and we might even try to seal it ourselves,

will have to see.........................

#5

I am thankful

that while we had to take all the stuff off our

porch for the fellow to seal it, that included our

 porch swing that my late father-in-law made for us

 30 years ago, so I started painting it white today. 

 Have wanted to do that for a long time now,

 and just never got around to it,  so since

it was out there,  and I had some spray paint

thought......might as well get her done.

Looking good so far!!

 #6

I am thankful

that we have our flower beds, should say our fern

beds really,  almost finished,  they needed weeding

and remulching badly.  We are half way done

with that.  We put in rubber mulch cause every

time it rains the other mulch floats away,  and we

have had wonderful results with the rubber mulch

in one of the beds out front.

#7

I am thankful

that I finally made up my mind about what cake

I want to get for the reception.  Finally...........

#8

I am thankful

that my sweet sister-in-law, Susan offered to go pick

the food up the day of the reception,  that was a big

load off my mind.  I am making 2 pans of Lasagna,

but I am gonna order some stuff from Olive Garden.

I sort of want to make it all,  but I also want to be

able to enjoy this, and not be all stressed out trying

to get it all done, especially since we have 7 people

coming that we never met before,  and 2 that we

have only met once.  So the Lord will use that to

stretch me plenty!!  lol

#9

I am thankful

that Dee will be staying with us from Saturday until

Thursday morning when they leave for their destination

wedding.  We will also be keeping Rosie for them!

I am praying it will be all they are hoping for and more.

#10

I am thankful

that I remembered some post cards that I was

suppose to make that are going to a Haitan orphanage.

I had completely forgotten,  and remembered yesterday, 

thankfully, so I got right on it cause they are leaving the 10th, 

 and I finished them today.  Shew.................

God was so good too,  cause we were very low on ink,  and

hubby had gotten some,  but when he went to put it in, it

wasn't the right one,  but thank the Lord,  I was able to

print all of them with no ink problems.  Amazing really!!

#11

I am thankful

for a long awaited prayer that we are seeing answered

more and more over the last months. 

 It is very exciting indeed!!

#12

I am thankful

that I finally got to post this week,  even if it is at 2 something

in the morning.  Couldn't sleep for some reason so figured

hey, might as well start my Thankful Thursday post, and

here I am finished ...................accept for pics.

I will add those in the morning cause I am finally getting

sleepy.......................yeah!! 

and I feel much better when I see all that the Lord has

done for me this week...........He really is so good to me,

and I am sure to you too!!

#13
I am thankful
for the Glorious Fall weather we have had here
in Central Florida this week,  that is the reason
we have gotten so much done outside.
It has been a lil like Heaven around here!

colored pencil affect!


That's my list for this week..............


Hope you have a lovely weekend in
 store, we are helping Dee and Jerry 
move her stuff to their new apartment,
 and probably working on our porch floor.


Thanks for the visit, 
always love hearing from you!

Love,  Hugs,
and Sunflower Blessings,
Nellie
