Welcome to Thankful Thursday
 Sweet Peas,


So........What is going on in your
 world this week???  Some good to
 great things I hope!!  Would love
 to hear......................


Will get on with my list,  as I have
to go finish din din.  lol

#1

I am thankful

for a sweet friendship that is deeping

due to similiar circumstances.

#2

I am thankful

that a situation that my SIL had been falsely

accused of, was straightened out and set right.

A very quick answer to prayer.

#3

I am thankful

that my son is feeling fine now.  He had either

food poisoning or a 24 hr. virus,  but was very

sick on Sunday.

#4

I am thankful

hubby was quickly able to fix our lawn mower
when it broke yesterday.  Thankfully it was
an easy fix requiring no $$.
How nice!!


#5
I am thankful
for funny movies that really make you laugh.
We watched one last night called "Mouse
Hunt",  it was pretty silly and kinda slap
stick type of humor,  which really isn't my
cup of tea usually,  but this really was quite
funny I have to say.


#6
I am thankful
for a fun night out last evening,  we wanted
to visit someone in the hospital,  unfortunately
she was asleep.  We also planned to go to Bed
 Bath and Beyond to get a new "magic Bullet",  as
 ours has broken and we use it almost daily. Also
 went to Michael's crafts to buy some embellishments
 for cards I am making, then to Target for a few items,
then ran to Burger King for  whoppers to bring home,
 then watched  the above named movie.  Fun Evening!


#7
I am thankful
that I have been back to making greeting cards
again, and am enjoying it so much.  Am seriously
considering doing an Etsy shop.

#8
I am thankful
for these new lil treats we found at Target last night.
They are breakfast cookies,  but they are any time
cookies to me..........lol
We have the Blueberry and they are very nice with
a cup of coffee or I would also like them with a nice
cold glass of milk.  Just happened to overhear two
of the workers talking and a guy was asking a lady
co-worker had she tried them,  and he was raving
about them,  so told him you sold me, I'm gonna
get some too,  course, that was after I read the label.
They have no hydrogenated oils, or hugh fructose
sugar or artificial sweetners or additives.
We just love finding new healthy things to eat!!  lol
See picture of box below.

#9
I am thankful
once again for this book we are doing in sunday
school.  Every time we read in it and do the lessons,
it is such an encouragement.  I think all empty nesters
should read it, some great information for us all,
as we adventure thru these uncharted waters.
Cause if you are in it,  you know there are lots of
changes and sometimes unexpected things that
 come up.  Just in case you are interested the book
is called "The 2nd half of marriage" facing the 8
challenges of the empty nester.
by David and Claudia Arp.


#10
I am thankful
for email  and texting, as it is a great way for me to keep
 in touch with my family, but especially my daughter,  we
 email back and forth some during the week,  and think it is
 fun for both of us.  Nice for me that I can email, cause I
don't know how to text,  but she recieves it on her phone
 as a text, then texts me back but I recieve as an email.
sure works for me!!


#11
I am thankful
for my acrylic sink in the kitchen.  I was just thinking
the other day when I was cleaning it what a blessing
it really is.  It is deep, and all I have to do is spray it
with clorox cleanup,  no more comet and scouring.
Sometimes if it looks greasy I will wipe it down with
dawn dishwashing liquid or very ocassionally I have to
 use what they call a sink polish if there are any scrapes,
All very simple compared to the old type of sink.

#12
I am thankful
that we are having this delectable cranberry/strawberry chicken
salad you see above for dinner tonight.  It is one of our fave
spring/summer meals. I am using strawberries rather than
raspberries this time.  This will be our first time to have it
this year,  that is why I am so excited.
Can hardly wait!!

Glad you dropped by,  and looking
 forward to hearing from you.


Happy Mother's Day to all you
Fabulous Mom's out there!
Hope you have a wonderful day.


Love, Hugs and
Mother's Day Blessings,


Nellie
