Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 18, 2012

Hello Sweet Peas,

So.............How are you??

Have you wondered where I am??

I hope so........lol

We have been at Dee and Jerry's house since late 

Sunday afternoon,  and just returned last evening.

  Since they were away in Hawaii,  I told you we

might stay a night down there, but it actually 

worked out that we could stay till Wednesday.

It was a fun and exciting weekend I have to say, 

So I will tell you about it in my thankful list.

#1

I am thankful

to finally know what our grandchild is gonna

be, course, we didn't care if it was a boy or girl, 

 just want it to be healthy and happy.  

But see for yourself what it is................

 Here are the proud parents about to cut the cake

and find out the news..................

Cutting the cake in sweet anticipation!!

For some reason a lot of our pics were blurry,

sure hope someone else got better shots.

Cutting deeper..........................

Gonna be a Baby Girl,  and our new

Grandaughter,  can you tell I am excited!

#2

I am thankful

that they did it this way,  as it was a lot of

 fun anticipating and also wonderful to get

to see their faces when they found out.

It was a really precious time and so great that 

they shared it with the whole family like that! 

 Megan is very thoughtful person........and

 so was Scott to go along with it!!  lol

#3

I am thankful

that while we were at the party we got to

see a friend of Scott's, who is like a 2nd son 

to us,  as he used to be here a lot as a young 

boy and teenager, and we hadn't seen him in 

quite a long while.  He always encourages us

 by things he remembers that we have said to

 him over the years.  It always shocks us, but

in a very good way......So touching that we 

had so much of an influence on him. 

Really Blesses our hearts!

#4

I am thankful

for how patient and loving Scott is with

children.  He played with his friends kids

a lil boy that is 8 and a lil girl that is almost

4 most of the time.  They adore him,  and

he them!  He is gonna make a great DAD!

Not biased or anything!!  lol

#5

I am thankful

that they were able to video tape the

event and send it over to Dee and Jerry

in Hawaii,  so they could see the whole

thing since she couldn't be here.

Amazing what you can do today!!

#6

I am thankful

we were able to go stay at Dee and Jerry's

and that hubby was able to take a half day off

 on Monday, on short notice.  He was also able

to work there on Wed. since they have wifi,

and he is closer to work, so not a long drive

for him on Tuesday either.  So that was nice.

#7

I am thankful

we got to go in the pool even tho it wasn't for

too long.........as it was partially cloudy and the

pool was cold,  but we did get a lil time in there

with the sun shining,  so it was nice!

#8

I am thankful

that we got take out the whole time,  so no

cooking,  other than just making toast or re-

heating something.  So it was like a 3 day

vacation for us, just a nice change of pace

and scenery.  Dee is very thoughtful like

that, and so is Jerry for going along with

it...........

Is there an echo in here!!  lol

#9

I am thankful

that I got to go out walking in their lovely

older neighborhood.  The neighborhood is

at least 35 years old,  but I think it might

be older than that,  but you would never

know,  as there are new houses mixed in 

with the older ones and everything is 

immaculate in there.

Truly a visual delight..........thanks to

their Home owners Association.

#10

I am thankful

for the fun of watching HGTV on their cable.

We always enjoy that when we vacation too.

Always a treat since we don't have cable at

home.........and I'm not complaining we like

it that way........as it always gives us 

something to look forward to.................

#11

I am thankful

Dee and Jerry got back yesterday,  safe and

sound,  altho, they were exhausted, they

were home.

#12

I am thankful 

for these cute lil starfish dishes she brought

me,  they are so adorable. See them below.

They brought her Dad Kona Coffee, his fav!

So he was making coffee last night!!  lol

They are all the same size........this pic sort of makes 

them lookgraduated in size.

Aren't they adorable,  can't wait till next Summer

to use them in a tablescape.  Might just have to

mix them in with my Fall decor here somewhere

in the meantime.

#13

I am thankful

that I returned refreshed and renewed and rested

and ready to go,  as soon as I straightened up

the house I cleaned the porch as it was in sore

need of it again.  Looks so much better!

If we could just keep these dratted racoons off

our porch,  they leave dirty footprints and hand

prints all over the place.  Annoying!!  lol

Well,  that is my list for the week,  hope you

enjoyed it..........I sure did!!

Not quite in the same way I am sure!!  lol

So glad you stopped by.............

Share something you are thankful
 for if you 'd like.

Have a great Friday and Weekend,

See ya next week,

Love, Hugs,  and

Sweet Baby Blessings,

Nellie
