Welcome to Thankful Thursday - April 11, 2011

I will praise God's name in song,
and glorify him with thanksgiving.
Psalm 69:30


Evening Sweet Peas,

Hope this finds you well and happy!

It has been a good week here, a few
skirmishes here and there, but we are all
the better for it.  

You will see what has been going on
here via my thankful list.

Here we go...............

#1

I am thankful

that we finally found another car last 

Saturday after searching and seeing quite

 a few cars these passed 61/2 weeks.

(In case you forgot or didn't know our old 

one just died on his way home from work 

back in February, much to our shock and 

dismay, since we had just replaced our

 old van the end of september, thinking the

other car would be around considerably

longer).  Course, that's how it is.....

life happens 

while we are making our plans!  lol

#2

I am thankful 

that hubby loves his new, to us, 2010

silver Toyota Corollo, that is so great

on gas...........This is his car,  and I am

so delighted for him, cause all our 

married life he has always given me

the newer car,  so for once he has

the newer car,  so thrilled for him.

#3

I am thankful

indeed, that the search is over..........

and that is no longer hanging over our

 heads..............cause we were putting lots

 of miles on our new, to us van,  and eating 

up miles on the warranty.  Plus you just feel

that things are sort of unfinished, as it has

changed your routines and stuff.

#4

I am thankful

that I have my van back now, so very nice

 to know that if I want to go somewhere

I can .................or I don't have to wait

till Wed. or the weekend.

#5

I am thankful

we got our taxes done,  and we don't owe

any money.  So that is always great news.

#6

I am thankful

that a little conflict in the family was quickly

resolved and back to normal.

Always a good thing...............

#7

I am thankful

that  Dee found a way for a friend of ours to

 get a  much needed medical test at a fairly 

reasonable price since she has no insurance.  

That is such a blessing, answered prayer,

 and provision from the Lord....................

#8

I am thankful

that we get to keep Brooklyn again on

Saturday,  will be the first time at our house.

Hubby and I both are looking forward to it.

#9

I am thankful

for the yard work we got done this week,

plenty more where that came from, but

grateful for what has happened already.

#10

I am thankful

for some new recipes I found on the

Better Homes and Gardens website.

Some really great looking salads.  Once

I try them out,  if we like them,  I will

share them with you.  I am very excited

to try them.  Earlier this week I made
 that Cranberry Chicken salad,  and can 

not tell you how much we enjoyed it.

If you are interested,

Just click here to see recipe.

This time I used strawberries in place

of the raspberries and shredded

parmesan cheese in place of the

mozzarella, it was even more delicious,
I think,  course, it has been a while
since we had it,  so hard to say if
that is really true..........but either way
we  luvvvvvvvvv  it!!


#11
I am thankful
for a dear sweet English friend who told me 
many years ago about the movie
 "Anne of Green Gables". I had never seen it, 
and she said oh my, you must see it sometime, 
You would love it...................


#12
I am thankful 
that recently, we found out they had a
number of the Anne of Green Gables movies
 on Netflix, and we have now watched 2 of them,
 and I must  say we concur with what she said.
They are just simply wonderful,and captivating,
clean and sweet movies with very interesting stories,
from another time period. Anne is a great heroine,
coming from a very difficult start,  and turning into an
astoundingly wonderful and loving woman.


If you have not seen it,  don't dally.........as you will
 really enjoy them so much.......
Every time the movie ends, hubby and I just
hate that it is over.................lol

I had to come back for a thankful
 baker's dozen.  lol

#13
I am thankful
for a new food item I just found at Publix,
and you know how I love, love, love finding
new things to eat.  It is called Carribean
chicken Salad  and oh my heavens, it is
 sooo good.  A real treat, I have to say.
Don't know who comes up with their recipes,
but they are delightful.

 You can get it in the deli, just in case you have
a Publix grocery store near you.  It is made
 with mango chutney and roasted red peppers. 
 I almost didn't get it cause thought what if I 
don't like it,  but then thought hubby will like it 
for sure, he is like the old cereal commercial,
 give it to Mikey,  he eats anything!!  He and
 my son are the adventurous foodies in our 
family,  me and Dee are bit more picky.


Just had to tell you in case you want to 
try it.   Don't think you will be disappointed!

 Well,  that completes my list..................
Hope your have a nice long list of your own.

Thanks for visiting...................please let me 
know you were here,  as I am always
delighted by your comments.


Have a Good and Relaxing Rest of the week.

Love, Hugs,
and Green Gable Blessings,
Nellie
