Welcome to Thankful Thursday - May 30, 2013 - 2nd Sunrise while on Vacation

Here comes the Sun

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Truly hope yall are having a good 
week wherever you are, and
 whatever you are doing..........

Mine has been good,  just getting back into the 
swing of things,  can't seem to shake the feeling
that we are still on vacation for some reason.
Maybe it is just wishful thinking.....lol
or maybe it is just how we like to stretch our
celebrations out to the inth degree!  lol

But.................... 

 #1

I am thankful

to be home and sleeping in my own bed

again, as good as vacation was, there is

truly No Place Like Home!  and it is truly
a blessing to have a bed.....imagine sleep-
ing on a park bench, under an overpass 
or on the ground without a sleeping bag,
 or sleeping in your car.

#2

I am thankful

that I finally got my permanent crown yesterday, 
 think the temporary one was starting to leak, and 
smarting a lil when I ate something sweet. 
 No problem now, thank the Lord!

#3

I am thankful

for our new dentists and dental staff as

they are all so sweet, warm, and friendly and

the office just has such a lovely, and  peaceful

 atmosphere. One of the girls told me a while back

 that they all pray together in the morning before

they start work.  What a great idea, and It 
certainly shows.

#4
I am thankful

for all the yard trimming we got done this week, 
plenty more to go,  but every lil bit looks better.........
love that progression, and love seeing that brush taken
 away by the trash men.

Just getting ready to rise.


#5
I am thankful
for tree cutters and our small chain saw on a pole,
gardening gloves and loppers that help us get this
stuff done without killing ourselves.  lol

Can you see that small dot....that is the sun.


#6
I am thankful

for the fun time I had with Brooklyn on Tuesday,
 as she was in such a great mood and so easy to 
get to sleep,  think it was cause she was so tired 
from the day before.

So she would take a nap and when she woke up,
 she would eat and then be ready to play,  just so 
sweet and happy. She took 3 naps, they were all
 less than an hour, but rejuvenating for her, none 
the less. We get to see her again on Saturday,  
which is nice since hubby didn't get to see her 
on Tuesday.

I realized I needed to use the zoom , so I did......

#7

I am thankful

for a lovely and longggggggg conversation I had with
 a sweet friend I haven't seen for a while, it was so great
 to catch up.  Hopefully next week we are gonna try to
 get together face to face.  Looking forward to that.

In person, it looked like a big orange ball coming up.
It was an awesome sight...............

#8

I am thankful
for summer salads with fruit in them,  we absolutely
love to eat them,  and I am making one tonight with 
strawberries, blackberries and peaches.
Can hardly wait......................

#9
I am thankful
for Sam's club, and that we have a membership there,
cause they have delicious Rotisserie Chickens, nice
ripe tomatoes, great meats, and cute name brand
 baby clothes, all at a great price, and much more.

#10
I am thankful
for Del Monte's diced peaches, mangoes and mandarin
oranges that come in those separate lil cups with no 
added sugar, it makes it so easy to drain them and
 put them in cereal, oatmeal, or salads or just to eat
all by their lonesome, and they taste so delicious and
fresh, and it makes it easy and nice to always have 
some sort of fruit on hand.

#11
I am thankful
it was so nice and breezy out this evening that hubby 
and I were able to sit outside and read for awhile.
  Once I start being outside I just want to be out there 
all the time,  but our days have been hot, and we 
are amazed that it is still cool enough to sit out 
there at night with June just a few days away,
So what a nice blessing.

#12

I am thankful

that Patti over at Fill my cup with Beauty is back

on the blogging scene again.  I have missed her

and am happy to see her back. I had known her before

blogging, as she used to go to my church years back, 

 and we knew each other, we just weren't close friends,

but it will be nice to be in touch once again. 

Good Morning..........Mr. Sunshine, you brighten

up my day...................

there is nothing more amazing than a sunset on the 

beach.............I absolutely love getting up for this.

This was the last picture cause at this point you couldn't 

stand to look at it anymore it was so bright ............

yet so beautiful.


Hope you enjoyed my thankful list
 and pictures of this lovely sunrise.

Thanks for coming by, and I look 
forward to hearing from you!

Love, hugs, and
Beautiful Sunrise Blessings,
Nellie
