Welcome to Thankful Thursday - April 12, 2012

I rec'd these lilies last Thursday or Friday, and as you can see they 

weren't open yet, so I have taken pics several times a day to show

 their progress and make it sort of seem like time lapse photography.

  Hope you enjoy the pics, as much as I have enjoyed the lilies.

Hello Sweet Peas,

Hope your day and your week has

been a good one.

Several starting to

open up!

My day was good......and

#1

I am very thankful

to be feeling so much better, even tho this

virus is still taking it's sweet time going away!

The first 2 still opening up!

#2

I am thankful

for these beautiful lilies my sister in law

brought me when I was sick.  They brought

some cheer to me,  and also got me to finally

do something I had been thinking about, change

the pic over my kitchen table.  I will show you

that next week sometime.

Fully opened,

and I moved them 

around to the front

of the vase to see

them better.

#3

I am thankful

that we were able to get together as a family

for Easter,  and praise God no one else has

 gotten sick!!

2 more opening on
the left side.

1 open, and 1 still
opening!


4 left to open!




#4

I am thankful

that the wedding for Becky's daughter turned

out so well,  that would be Becky from over at

 Junk to Joy!  She said it was just so enchanting!

So glad for all those great memories for she 

and her precious family.

Fully opened!

Four fully
opened
and
gorgeous!


















#5

I am thankful

that we are getting a new couple to work with,

this time it will be for premarital counseling,

which we have never done before,  but think

after 41 yrs. and with the Lord's help we should

certainly be able to come up with something!!  lol

Notice  the color difference
of the first ones that opened
vs the new ones that opened.
the white edges turn pale
pink,  and the flower more
plum colored.

#6

I am thankful

that a mistake that I made when I was paying our

bills last week, while I was feeling my worst, turned out
 to be not as bad as I first thought.....Shew!

Somehow,  I got the wrong envelope and sent our ATT
 check to our local Water Co. and at first I thought oh no,
 that means ATT has the check for the Water Co.,
  Fortunately,  our water bill wasn't do yet,  so that meant
 it was the last bill I wrote,  and it was only for the

water company.  Yeah.................

done in watercolor affect!
















An overall look
at 7 blooms.

#7

I am thankful

I am going out with a dear friend to Olive

Garden tonight as a belated birthday celebration,

it will be great to see her cause it has been over

a month now.
Well, went and I am back and we had a great
time, always so fun to connect with friends.

#8

I am thankful

fpr Publix subs,  they are so good.  Bought one

for hubby for dinner since I was going out and

he has a meeting,  so decided to get one for

me for lunch,  sure hit the spot after grocery

shopping.

#9

I am thankful

for all the buy one get one free deals at 

Publix every week.  Cause we stock up when

we see things we use a lot.  Today I stocked

up on Vann's gluten free waffles,  every tried

them,  they are great,  and I really love them

with fruit and whipped cream for breakfast

or a fun snack.

#10

I am thankful

we get to go to a wedding this weekend (Lord

Willing) for one of my daughter's best friends, Dee

 and Megan are in the wedding as Bridesmaids,

So it should be really fun............to see them all.

This was taken with the flash on,  and it made them a lil different
in color.  Brighter!

#11

I am thankful

it has been sunny all week and I have been able

to get out and get a lil bit of sun especially on

my arms since I am planning to wear a sleeve-

less dress to the wedding.  You always look

better with some color!!  lol

#12

I am thankful

for a really neat movie we watched on Wed.
night called "What If?" .  It is a very thought
provoking movie, about a man's life and the
choices he made and what if he had chosen
differently.  Has a good ending and a very
good message.  Netflix has it!!

Sorry for all the gaps in here,  it looked nothing
like that before I posted it......don't know why or
how that happens,  so wierd!

Well, hope you have enjoyed
 the Lily Delight!


Hope you have a great weekend
with lots of fun and rest!


Thanks for stopping by,
always love hearing from you!


Love, Hugs, and
 Delightful Lily Blessings,
Nellie

With posterized affect!
