Thankful Thursday - August 30, 2012

Afternoon Sweet Peas,

Hope all is well with you and yours!

Sorry I am so late with this,  but was out most of 
the day yesterday,  and when hubby got home we
 had to mow the yard, have din din,  and then wanted 
to catch Mitt Romney's speech, so that all took up our
whole evening and have just been like a slow moving 
vehicle this morning....just really tired today....
too many late nights this week!!  lol

Well, this is the last beachy looking picture you will
see here till next year,  and I can't wait to get started
decorating for Fall.  Gotta do something to fake my
self out...........I am sooooooo ready for cooler
weather!

 Well, best get started with my thankful list.

#1 
I am thankful
is that we finally got to mow our lawn,
and our mushroom farm. lol
It has been almost 2 weeks,  so it was
like a jungle out there.  It has just been
raining  almost every evening or else if it
 wasn't we had to be somewhere, which 
was like once............
Poor Molly and Rosie were having a fun
time going out to potty!  Rosie was getting
lost in the grass.  So they are probably even
happier than us!!  lol

#2

I am thankful

for the great fajita dinner we had at Dee

and Jerry's last night, we felt like we were

 dining in a great mexican restaurant the food 

was so good,  and Dee made  a new recipe

for guacamole dip that was awesome.

Will have to get the recipe and share it with

 you.  She sent the rest home with us so I 

get to have it again today!  Yummy.....

#3

I am thankful

that Dee was able to do my hair last 

night as well,  and that we had a great

time talking while the guys watched the

Republican National Convention.

#4

I am thankful 

for the RNC, as it has given us some hope

that maybe we might have a Presidential

change,  because we believe it is so needed.

Thought Ann and Mitt Romney both did a
great job as well as Paul Ryan and many
others.  Just finished watching Paul
Ryans speech as I didn't get to see it
Wednesday night.  

#5

I am thankful

that we know who holds our future in His

hands and that what ever happens with this

election in November,  it will not take the

Lord by surprise, and that He will continue

to be our provider,  not the government.

#6

I am thankful

for a fun day out shopping and lunching
 with my new friend, it has been awhile
since we have been able to get together,
 as she works full time, but does have days
off during the week at times, which makes 
it possible to hang out once in awhiie.

#7
I am thankful
for a lovely lunch at Cracker Barrel,
her sweet treat.  It was absolutely
delicious.  They have a grilled chicken
house salad,  and you can choose a baked
potato or potato soup.  I got the baked
potato, too hot for soup for me!
Loved every delicious bite .....

#8
I am thankful
we got to bring Rosie home,  and we will
get to keep her till Monday.

#9
I am thankful

that hurricane Issac passed us by.....but

am also feeling so badly for those in his 

path.  Saw some pics this morning where

a family was wading thru water that was

chest deep.   I can't even imagine.........

I know first hand, how much damage just ankle

 deep clean water can do,  so can't even begin

 to imagine what dirty deep water is like.

 Oh My Goodness!

#10
I am thankful
that I finally found something at Macy's to
purchase with my $50.00 gift card I have
had since January.  I have been there many
times looking for clothes and always come
home with nada.............so happened to
see they had futon covers,  but they were
$100.00, but the next day they put them
on sale for 48.99,  so decided I am going
for it.  It is a solid Khaki color,  so hoping
it looks great in our computer room.
Only bummer is it doesn't ship until Sept.
12th................

#11
I am thankful
for a new piece of exercise equipment
we just got called the "Rhythm Rocker"
it is suppose to work your mid section.
Sure hope it works like it looks like on
the TV ad.  We found it at Wally World
so if it doesn't work we can take it back.
Course, am hoping it doesn't cause any
back or neck problems either,  so we
shall see...............am hoping for the
 best cause sit ups have never worked
for me, and now with my neck and
back issues it is just out of the question
anyway, as are most floor exercises.


#12
I am thankful
we are going to Scott and Megan's for
Labor Day,  it will be our first family
celebration at their new home.
So looking forward to it............

Well, Sweet Folks,

Till next time............

Have a Whale of a Weekend!

Love, Hugs and
Family and Friend Blessings,
Nellie

Oh.......
 and Happy Labor Day!
