welcome to Thankful Thursday - February 16, 2012

Hello Sweet Friends,

So how are ya???  Seems like ages

 since we have visited.  

Haven't been blogging this week, as I threw my back

 out again, and sitting at the computer just seems to

 make it worse.

So

#1

I am thankful

that my back is better and I am getting around more

normally, so  just about there I think...............

Nothing like being down with anything physical to

make you so appreciate when you are normal and

have the freedom to do whatever!!  

#2

I am thankful

again for that lil devotional book I have told you

about before "Jesus Calling",  even tho we read

it last year,  I decided to go thru it again and 

journal as I go thru it.  It is amazing some of the

areas that we can trust the Lord in that you just

never think about,  and she really makes you

think about it.  which is great!!

and it kept me occupied during my non 

blogging days.....................

Not much exciting happened around here this
week since I was a slow moving vehicle, but
Valentine's Day was definitely the
 highlight of my week.

#3

I am thankful

for another Wonderful Valentine's evening with my

 hubby, this was our 42nd Valentines day together.
  I usually make us a nice dinner, because the restaurants
 are crazy around here, not just from Valentine's day, but 
usually there is something going at Daytona Speedway,
 which also greatly affects the Orlando area as well,  since
 many people stay in hotels over here and of course, eat in
all the restaurants,  so we are not into the long wait/crowded
 restaurant thing, so we enjoy staying home and eating out
 another evening. This year since I decided to do a lunch for
 my SIL, we got take out from Olive Garden.  At the last
 minute I decided the weather was so nice we should sit 
on the porch, so I set a pretty table out there with lots of 
red candles,  and ate by candlelight, and had sparkling
 cider (we had leftover from the wedding reception)  then
 we watched "You've Got Mail" our fav Valentine's day
 movie, and had a strawberry cheesecake type dessert
 hubby found at Sams. 
 So it all made for a great evening.!!

#4

I am thankful

for a very niceValentines Lunch and afternoon with 
my sweet Sister in Law Susan too,  we had a lot of fun 

eating, chatting and catching up.  

#5

I am thankful

for a longtime friend that just moved back to our

area.  It has been years since I have seen her,  we
 lost touch somehow, guess when she moved away,
 but it is like we are picking up where we left off.

#6

I am thankful

my Dee is coming over this afternoon to do my hair 
and visit,  I so look forward to it, as always, and of 
course, she is bringing my lil grandaughter dog,
 Rosie.  lol  She was here and we had a wonderful
 time catching up, but the time went like a snap! 
My hair looks good again, and  She and Jerry 
are doing so well, and are so happy.


Actually her visit was the other highlight of the
week.................................

#7

I am thankful

for a new food I have always wanted to try

but it was always so expensive I didn't want

to buy it, not knowing if I would like it or not,

but happened to find some on sale at Target

so grabbed it,  it is "Almond Butter",  and it

is delicious,  and it goes perfect with some

gluten free crackers we buy called"Multi-

grain crackers" and they are made by

a Co. called Crunchmaster, just in case

you want to try it out.

#8

I am thankful

for another movie we watched last weekend
Called "Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont,  it was
a very good movie,  very heartwarming and
touching about a Grandmother and a young
man who met and became friends.
Lovely really.................

#9
I am thankful
for the lovely cards and flowers I received  from my hubby
 and SIL for Valentine' Day.  They know how much I
love live flowers.  They are Chrysanthemums and
Azaleas.




#10
I am thankful
to see how Rick Santorum has come up in the
polls,  amazing!  He does seem to be a man
who walks the talk,  which is very refreshing.

#11
I am thankful
that it has been a restful week, albeit,  sometimes
a bit boring too!  lol   Guess my energizer bunny
week, last week, did me in.......................




#12
I am thankful
for Christian books that teach us so much, 
and also bring much encouragement and help
to so many.   such a blessing!

Well, that's my list for this week,


Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's 
Day and week.....................


Thanks for dropping in, Love to 
hear from you!!


Blessings Galore,
Nellie
