Welcome to Thankful Thursday - February 28, 2013 and Valentines Table for two

 Morning Sweet Friends,

How are you today???

Well and happy, I hope!

I'm sure feeling a lot better today after a long

nap yesterday and a good nights sleep,  amazing,

what rest, food and showers do for a person, huh!

I am trying to get this finished up,  it is 4:38 already,
and I started at 9 a.m. Have hardly gotten anything done
 that I can see, but my hair..........lol   I have either been
 emailing or talking on the phone to someone, mostly 
about cars all day.  Did call my SIL and email her and
Dee a few times,  but mostly to hubby and a car
salesman. so that would be my 
#1

I am thankful

that we might be on to a car, or at least we

have someone looking for us,  which is nice.

Seems very nice and honest.

You will see how this turns out below.........

Well,  I am combining my belated Valentine's
pictures with Thankful Thursday like I said I would
yesterday.  So on with my list.................

This was sort of a thrown together last minute use what you
can find sort of table, but thought it wasn't too bad for what
it was..................lol

#2

I am thankful

for my sweet Sil Susan.  Today is her birthday.

She is a very sweet, loving and helpful person,

and we love and appreciate her so much.

Happy Birthday Susan,  looking forward

to your celebration here tomorrow night.

From the opposite side, hubby gave me that beautiful
ceramic rose one year on our anniversary.  It looks so real.

#3

I am thankful

for the really wonderful visit from our dear friends,

I am still enjoying the visit in my heart!!

#4

I am thankful

for what a really precious, delightful and encour-

aging friend she is...........and intelligent and helpful.

She is like a flowing fountain of great information,

just waiting to share it with whoever wants to know.

#5

I am thankful

for a lovely comforter set she gave me that she

couldn't use,  it is in mint condition,  and I plan

to use it in my master bedroom when I get the

chance to switch the room around.  Which might

not be for awhile yet,  but especially not till after 

baby comes.......

#6

I am thankful

that our new  health Insurance plan has what they call a 
healthcare advocate, meaning that if you have a problem

 with your Ins. not covering something they should,  they
 fight for you!  We have one of those incidents going on 
right now, and he is handling all of what I used to have
 to do.........the last time I had to do this it took me one 
whole entire year to get it resolved due to unhelpful
 individuals at the radiology place.

So what a blessing!!

#6

I am thankful

for DeeAnna offering for us to use her car

and Susan offering as well or to take me 

someplace if I need to go.  So Sweet of

both of them.

#7

I am thankful

that Megan is doing much better,  and that she

is resting and getting ready for the big day.

#8

I am thankful

for the prayers of God's people for us and our
loved ones as well.  There is nothing like it.

#9

I am thankful
for glasses to wear,  don't know what I would do 
without them...would sure hate to try.  Cause things
are pretty blurry without them, have to say.

#10

I am thankful

that my friend solved a problem I was having with

my dishwasher out of her storehouse of knowledge.

We call our dishwasher a dish sanitizer because

I have to really clean them before I put them in the

dishwasher, so pretty much all it does is sanitize

them.  All my others I could just scrape them and

throw  or put them in the dishwasher and they came

out clean.  She had a friend who had the same

problem, they realized somehow it was the fact

that they took phosphates out of the detergent.

She brought me some industrial Cascade and

I tried it and what a difference it has made.  You

can also go to Walmart and get something called

"Lemi shine" and add it in with your dishwashing

detergent and get the same results.  I am back

to just scraping them again.............

What a blessings............Thanks again Arlene!!

#11

I am thankful

that the car I thought we might be getting was sold
to someone else,  I think the Lord knew something
we didn't cause the fellow sent me information early
today and I never got it.........then he called to see if
I rec'd it and what we thought,  and I told him we 
never got it so he sent it again,  and it looked very
promising and then he called right back and said
bad news,  it is already sold.  We are asking the
Lord to weed out any bads ones so...................
think that was the case, and I believe something
better will be along just not sure when!!  lol

I am thankful
that I have finally gotten to complete this post,
as I have been trying to finish it up off and on
all day.  and I am thankful that you take the
time to read it....that blesses my heart!!
