Scenes from last year this time!


Devote yourselves to prayer, 

being watchful and thankful.

Colossians  4:2


Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a great week!

Mine has been very good,  seems like it has just
flown by,  can't believe tomorrow is Friday
already, and that we are half way thru 
January already too ...........how the time
does fly.......................

#1

I am thankful

that my house is finally back to normal other

than a few things that I still need to put away,

that are stashed for now in the guest bedroom.

#2

I am thankful

for the phone call of a dear friend of 40 years

that I have only emailed with for awhile,  she

has really gone thru a very hard time,  but seems

to be doing pretty well inspite of it,  and she

sounded just the same, and still has her wonder-

ful sense of humor.  She is such a sweetie, and 

her phone call was such a delight. We will be

 doing that more often now.

#3

I am thankful

for that new store we found, that I told you about 
yesterday.  Always fun to find something new.

#4

I am thankful

for the things we are learning, and that we are
having such a great time with our Sunday School 

class.  We have some really sweet students.
We are doing a video series by Andy Stanley
called" Staying in Love",  it is really good.

#5

I am thankful
for Insurance, health, dental, home, auto and life 
Insurance.  Sometimes they can seem a nuisance, 
like now, as we have a claim that should have been
 paid but wasn't but we could have none at all and
 that would be way worse...........so good to have 
it especially when it is really needed.....................


#6
I am thankful
for my washer and dryer.... What if we had to beat 
our clothes on rocks down by the pond,  or use a
 wringer washing machine??  I remember years ago
 when I just didn't have a dryer and had to hang
 everything outside, what a long wash day that made, 
and really bad if it rained on the weekend when I did
 my laundry all day,  after working all week outside
 the home.
  Great inventions I might add!! lol

#7
I am thankful
for my life,  it is great to be alive and that in and
of itself is a blessing,  but I also love my life and
wouldn't trade it for anyone else's, and that is
really a blessing.


#8
I am thankful
to be able to sit for long spells and work on
cards again.............feel like I am starting all
over again with my new card package, but
will just need a lil practice and it should all
come back quickly,  I hope!!  lol
Just finished designing a new card front for
 a young ladies birthday, and very pleased 
with the outcome, so am encouraged.

#9
I am thankful
that we were able to go for a nice brisk
walk tonight.  It felt so good,  but towards
the end I was feeling it a bit,  but think
it will be fine.   It has been quite a while
since we have done that too.


#10
I am thankful
that we had such a fun time at Dee and
Jerry's last Saturday,  I got about 31/2 hrs.
of one on one time with her, then the rest
of the family came, so it was a great time
had by all................

#11
I am thankful
that is has cooled off tonight,  right now  it is 54  but
tonight, it is going to 40 and will be a high of 66 degrees
tomorrow,  but then Sat. it will be back to 74 
degrees............go figure!!
One cold day is better than none... lol


#12
I am thankful
for the opportunity to help someone that
needed help tonight, and that is always a blessing.


Know it is Friday morning but 
 just went to visit Cindy over at Dwellings,  and 
she had a great post,  so I just had to come
back and make it my
