Thankful Thursday - May 24, 2012

(Pink Lemonade cake)

If he offers it as an expression of thankfulness, then along
 with this thank offering he is to offer cakes of bread made 
without yeast and mixed with oil, wafers made without yeast
 and spread with oil, and cakes of fine flour well-kneaded
 and mixed with oil.
Leviticus 7:12


Greetings Sweet Peas,


Have you had any thankful sightings
 this week???


Sure hope so, cause the Lord
 is always at work.


All pictures are from the May 2012 issue of Better
 Homes and Gardens Magazine.  I just thought all these 

cakes were so pretty that it made me want to make

 them.  I am not a baker really,  but I love the idea

 of trying to decorate them.  Haven't done it tho, 

cause if you make them, somebodies got to eat 

them, and that shouldn't be us.........so just makes

 me want to...........cause I do love to make things

 pretty! and thought you would really enjoy seeing

 them as well,   So that leads me to my

#1

I am thankful

for Better Homes and Gardens magazine

which has been around a long long time,

and for their decorating emails I get all

the time.  I find great pleasure and excite-

ment in them as they give me great ideas.

Just so you know, these are not in an order

of priority, just starting there to explain

the pictures............lol

and also they come as I think of them.

I am thankful

#5
I am thankful
that my motivaidor I use to remind me of the
breathing is working again, I thought it was broken
this morning cause it was going off every minute,
so we changed the batteries, the it wasn't working
at all,  so was thinking I just needed a new one so
 called the company, and fortunately it wasn't broken, 
 it was the technically challenged owner...Me!  lol

Isn't this just adorable, hard to believe it is edible too.

Made with white chocolate candy clay.

#6

I am thankful
that hubby got his bloodwork back and everything
it was  good.................always a great relief!!


#7
I am thankful
that we went to see his heart Dr. yesterday,
and all was well.  Dr. was very positive,
which was great, cause sometimes he can
tend to be a lil on the negative side.
Still wants to do an Echocardiogram tho,
just to be on the safe side.

#8
I am thankful
we got to go over to Dee and Jerry's last night
 for dinner, and to visit,  hubby and Jerry worked 
on cutting tree limbs. Dee and I gabbed!   lol
Dinner was great,  a lovely pasta dish
and salad,  delicious...............Love these
fun times with our kids.  It makes up for all
those difficult teen years!!  lol




#9
I am thankful
that the guys were safe after they worked on cutting 
big limbs off a tree as they were working with chain 
saws.  That always makes me a lil nervous!! 
 So there were definitely some prayers going up!!
Jerry did hurt his leg a lil bit,  but it wasn't any
thing serious thankfully.

#10
I am thankful
for our Magic Jack phone cause we never
have to pay long distance charges and it
helps me conserve minutes on my cell
phone if needed,  and it is only $20 a year.

I am thankful

for printers and scanners that make it so 

easy to make copies of things or more so

to be able to make my cards, such a blessing.

store is open in our area.  Have been
