Welcome to Thankful Thursday - July 26, 2012

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,
 continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built
 up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were
 taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7



Evening Sweet Peas,


Hope this finds you well and happy
and that you have had a good week!


Mine has been pretty busy some days and quiet others, 
 but they have been good days..............
There is usually something praise worthy in every day
if we just look to find it, granted, there are some days
you have to look hard,  but the blessings are there.



So with that said,  I will share mine.........

#1

I am thankful

that we heard from hubbies Cardiologist

office yesterday that the results of his

echocardiogram were fine!  Didn't expect

a problem,  but always nice when you get

 confirmation of that!  God is good!

#2

I am thankful

for the really sweet time we had with

Scott and Megan on Sunday.

#3

I am thankful

that they closed on their new home

today,  and will be moving in over the

weekend.   So Exciting for all of us.

#4

I am thankful

that a friend called this week and told

me that a book I had given her is really

helping her.............God is great!




#5

I am thankful

for two new discoveries right in our area.

One is the "smallcakes" cupcake bakery.
Decided to go use their buy 1 get one
free coupon, so got a chocolate peanut
butter one and a carrot cake one. The
aroma in that place is to die for........


Have only tried the choc. peanut butter
one so far, and yum it was very good!
Unfortunately, the chocolate pb cup
melted off......... while I checked out  the
 other  fun new serendipitous place.

Carrot Cake.........ummmmmmmmmmm




I need to find out if they have coffee cause I can 
definitely see us going in for a lil treat there every 
once in awhile..................
Gotta try out the other flavors ya know.................
just wouldn't be friendly not to do that!!  lol

Hungry yet???  lol




#6
I am thankful
for the new Yomii frozen yogurt place.
I think that must be a new term taken from
the wii games.  lol
I think it means You/Me get some yogurt!! lol


They make small smoothies,  so since it was 
right in the same strip mall as the cupcakery......
 just couldn't pass up a chance to try out the
 new yogurt place as well.  Right???


I had a white chocolate macadamia nut and
 coconut frozen yogurt smoothie with added
 almonds. Absolutely delicious...........
but probably had way more calories that what 
I have any idea of...........but it was non fat and
has calcium, right!  lol

That is why I didn't eat the cupcake

 until today!  lol  Actually I only ate half of the 

cupcake, saved the other half for hubby and

 we still have the carrot cake one to eat yet!  

Looking forward to tonight!!  Yum!!

Will let you know if we like it or not!! lol


Note:
Had the carrot cake one after dinner
and it was verrrryyy good.

#7

I am thankful

that Dee and Jerry loved their new red and

tan kitchen rug,  she said it added some more

color to their kitchen.  Makes me happy

that liked it so much.

#8

I am thankful

for the dishwasher and washing detergent

recipes I found online from other bloggers.

Am planning to try the detergent one soon,

cause Dee and I had talked about it, and both

of us would rather spend our money on doing

something fun or buying something yummy to eat

or  pretty to look at.  I also have a single parent friend

 with 3 children, who is doing everything to cut corners

 and says she spends so much money on detergent,

 so thought we could try it out and give her some and 

see if she likes it.... then maybe we can teach her how

 to do it.  The lady that has the blog said she thought it 

was actually better and that her clothes look brighter

 to her. So can't wait to try it,  only need 4 ingredients,

so got some yesterday,  but still gotta find the other,

20 mule team borax.  Actually, I have some but don't

have enough left.  Wally world usually carries it,  but

they were out right now.

If you are interested and  would like to check out the

 ladies blog with the recipe and instructions,  she

even gives you labels to download.

Just click here!

I am thankful

that our church is sponsoring a number of

mission trips this summer....one is to Haiti.

Although most are not going in person. I think it 

is great that there are ways that our whole

 congregation can go in spirit by being a part of it,

thru prayer, by getting needed supplies, or helping

prepare things before they go, and I love that...... 

cause it is such a priviledge and delight to be able

 to help others, especially those that are

 experiencing such hardship

#10

I am thankful

for a long but fun conversation with a friend

this morning.  She is such a transparent

and dead honest person, and so funny,

 and I love that about her.

#11

I am thankful

for multi-grain Ciabiatta bread from wally

world.  Have never had it before but I just

made an awesome grilled Ham and

cheese sandwich with it.  Yummo!

Just in case you aren't familiar with the

term Wally World.

Wally World is my words for Walmart!

We live near Disney World, so it fits

with our next of the woods, but forget

others may think it is a new store. 

#12

I am thankful

for Air conditioning which I have said

before but I am also truly grateful

for overhead paddle fans during this hot

time of the year especially.  Have been

sitting under my a lot lately with the combo

of the temps soaring and my own Tropical

heat waves happening in my body,  it is

truly a God Send!!  and has been for many

years now.................

Just got the mail and so had to come back

and add one more to make a bakers dozen.

#13

I am thankful

for the sweet surprise I just got in my mail

box from a dear friend of over 30 years.

Remember the lady who helped me with

the boquets a few weeks back,  well, she

was the bestower of joy, can't wait to show

you the pretty's next week.  So Sweet and

 best of all such an unexpected surprise.

                                             Thanks so much  Carol..............

                     Your are such a Sweetie............

just in case you happen to be reading today!

Happy you could come by today,

It is always great to hear from you.

Have a Really Great Weekend 

with your Family and/or Friends

 or furry friends.

Love, Hugs and

Cupcake and Yogurt Blessings,

Nellie
