Welcome to Thankful Thursday - June 21, 2012

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,

 continue to live in him,  rooted and built up in him, 

strengthened in the faith as you were taught,

 and overflowing with thankfulness.

Colossians 2:6 & 7

Hello Sweet Peas,

Hope you have been having a great week, 

 it sure has gone by fast.... I must say!

Nothing real exciting going on around here, however, we

 are excited for Scott and Megan, as they are house hunting,

 so we are praying that find just the perfect house for them,

 and that they get a great deal................this is certainly the

right time to buy.

Well, on with my list of Thankfuls

#1

I am thankful

that my well deserving hubby had a very nice

Father's Day.

#2

I am thankful

for these lovely  flowers you see here that my 

sweet SIL Susan brought to me on Sunday.

#3

I am thankful

for the lovely time I had having my quiet time this morning

 out on my porch. Circumstances just seemed so perfect:

 the lawn was freshly mowed,  had just cleaned the porch

yesterday, and it was nice and cool cause it rained last

 night,  it is typically too hot out there this time of the 

year, and all the landscape was fresh and lush, and I

had that perfect cup of coffee, but best yet, got some
new incites from the word of God.

So it was really a blessed time...............

#4

I am thankful

for my porch and my backyard,  they are

both such a huge blessing to me.

#5

I am thankful

for the White and Orange Ibis in our yard this morning,

 when hubby was leaving for work, and squirrels all out

 eating their breakfast.  They are just such pretty birds. 

 We see these as lil gifts from the Lord.

and

then a lil while later as I was walking past the window

I saw some darker birds with them,  they are evidently

just a different variety of Ibis.  They are dark grey, with

a lil white and brown legs and beaks.  Course, maybe 

one is the female and one the male.......gotta look that

up online, be right back.....................lol

Think the darker ones are young ones that have not

lost their baby feathers yet.

Here you can see a lil bit of the white Ibis's, but I was mostly

trying to capture the dark Ibis as we have never had them 

come here before.

Never had the white ones until just a few years ago.  They have
been by quite a number of times already this year.  

Can you see the lil gray blob on the right, that is a
squirrel.  Told my husband he is a brave fellow to
go out there with all those birds with long beaks.




#6

I am thankful

that I found a new Meme's to link up to today,
and was invited to join 2 others that I didn't
even know existed,  so that was fun.

If you are interested in knowing about them too,
 scroll down to my last post 
 "Coastal themed Father's Day
 and go all the way to the bottom of the post,  and they

are listed there and you can click on the links.

# 7

I am thankful

that we got to visit the new Hobby Lobby last 
night, finally.  We didn't get to see everything, 
so will probably take another trip sometime soon,
 but was sort of disappointed that they were so
 expensive  but fortunately, I didn't really see 
anything calling my name yet!!

But it was a fun trip!

#8

I am thankful

for the new exercise wii videos or games the

kids gave Jimmy for Father's Day.  We did the

"Walk it Out" exercise game, but we are still trying

 to figure it out, so we sort of did our own thing,

but got a good workout, not so great on the game

 part! lol  Course, we are more concerned with the

exercise.  I learned about it from Sue over at I need

 Mom,  she is a fountain of good information.  We also

 did the other one too, it is more of an exercise routine,  

so we will be working up to this one, but they are both

  good,  but gonna be better once we get the 

hang of them................So thank You  kids!

#9

I am thankful

for my lil samsung point and shoot camera,  love

that everytime I upload pictures to the computer

I can recharge it and it is ready to go anytime.

and of course, I like the fact, it takes all these great 
pictures you see on my blog.  A few of these today

are an exception,   more the lighting or the
 photographer............
which would be Me!   of course!!  lol

#10
I am thankful
that our kitty Molly seems to be feeling better,
she didn't seem like she was feeling very good
for awhile and wasn't eating much,  but she 
seems to be coming out of that.  We were
starting to get worried about her.

#11

I am thankful
for Ghirardelli and Lindt Dark Chocolate Bars.
We eat a square every day for heart health,
and boy, what a chore............lol
They are fabulous, just had a piece, so that's
what reminded me.

#12
I am thankful
for the 2 nice ladies that came by today and
invited me to join in the 2 new memes.  Thanks
for your encouragement, it was very appreciated.

I decided to put this arrangement in the new pitcher

 hubby gave me for Mother's Day and put it in my bathroom.
  Since it is the only place that I have purple, and never get 
the luxury of having fresh flowers in there, 
 and  sure have enjoyed it.




Well,  that wraps up my thankfuls for this week!


So glad you could join me today and I really 
appreciate your visit.


Love, Hugs,
and Beautiful Floral Blessings to you!
