Welcome to Thankful Thursday - June 13, 2013

Evening Sky at the Beach

He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair
 weather, for the sky is red,'  and in the morning, 'Today it 
will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' 
You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky,
 but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
Matthew 16:2-3

Morning Sweet Friends,

Had this all done last night but the pics so
 decided to wait and finish it this morning.

So how has your Wednesday and 
Thursday been??

Ours has been busy, but a good busy.
Yesterday was our day to watch Miss
Brooklyn,  so we had a fun time with her,
and then had some other things going on
as well...........that you will read about.

Just came in from mowing the grass
and I am sneezing my head off, and can't
wait to get a shower.   lol   Least it is done 
so we don't have to worry with it over the 
weekend.  Can we say Freedom..........
at least I hope so, am hoping to do some
cooking tomorrow for Sunday,  so it is out
 of the way before the weekend.  We love
to do that so we can just enjoy the week-
end, cause sometimes you gotta just
have some fun and relaxation...........

Well, here is my thankful list for this week.

#1

I am thankful

for our sweet young neighbor next door again
 (the sam ones that had the garage sale).  
We were out trimming trees a few

weeks ago,  and he came over and said

I have a really long extender pole type

change saw but it is at my Mom's,  and

I will be getting it back in a few weeks

so I will come over and trim whatever

you want me to............Is that not the

sweetest thing...and yesterday he did

just that...........it looks really great.

  We think we have found a way to bless him
 too, so looking forward to it....

Be sure to click on this picture to enlarge all of them, they are
so much prettier like that.




#2

I am thankful

for 2 young teens, both really sweet

kids from our church who are trying to

 raise money to go on a church trip.  

They came and did some yard work for 

us on Wed.and they did a wonderful

 job,  and it was a 2 way blessing for sure.

They helped make the yard look great

too................

#3

I am thankful

that we got to hear Brooklyn belly laugh

for the first time yesterday,  How funny!

Looking forward to more of that!!  Oh
babies are so much fun,  especially when
you are not responsible for raising them.

#4

I am thankful

that my son made it safely to Canada

on Wed. for a seminar for work.

Update:  and back home again safely too.

#5

I am thankful

that we got to have  Rosie visit with

us this week,  as it has been quite

a long while...............

Isn't God's handiwork just so magnificent


#6

I am thankful

for a wonderful salad that we got from

Bob Evans for dinner Wed. night.  It was

so delicious and so filling, so I still have

half of it left.  We have had it before

but it has been a long time.  It is called

"Cranberry pecan chicken salad"  by

Bob Evans.  Their's has bacon, bleu

cheese, honey roasted pecans and

sweet Italian dressing.  It was so good

so I made my own rendtion of it from

memory,  so it is a lil different but

delcious just the same and you could

add any of the above ingredients I

listed if you want. Strawberries

are also excellent in there as well.

Here is a recipe of my rendition of it.

Just click here.

We used Poppy Seed Dressings,  so here
is the recipe for that too.

#7
I am thankful
for a fun day out shopping for Father's
 Day.  Hubby wants to get a new grill as
his gift, but wanted to find a few small
things to surprise him.


#8
I am thankful
that I finally found some Father's Day
cards I liked,  I am very picky about
cards and what they say,  so just  wasn't
crazy about them,  but actually found
them in other places in the store.
Walmart really has the best cards,
most of the time.  

#9
I am thankful
that I ran into a younger lady that goes
to my church,  our paths seem to be
crossing a lot lately..... and she is a real 
sweetie..... she had her son with her,
 who I would say is probably 13 or so,  
and he was just a really sweet spirited 
and innocent type kid,  much like the
 2 we had here on Wed. doing the yard
 work.....those kids just really bless my 
heart..........cause that is such a rarity
 these days.  They all have Lovely 
Mom's, and it has evidently rubbed off!

#10
I am thankful
there was a planet smoothie nearby
where I was shopping cause it was such
a delight to get my fav smoothie to cool
off as it was one hot day out there!
Exhausting!  but that smoothie cooled
me right off!!

The Moon behind the clouds -will show you the moon shots next week
#11
I am thankful
that I remembered some napkins I
bought a while back,  which helped me
get a theme for hubbies Father's Day table.
Hadn't even thought about it yet,  so
that was surely a  timely remembrance!  lol
This year will be Scott's first Father's Day,
so hope he enjoys it......

#12
I am thankful
for these cute lil cotton polkadot night
gowns I got for Christmas,  they almost
looks like a sleeveless dress,  so they
are cute and comfortable.  I have a red,
aqua blue and spring green one,  and I
love all three,  and I find myself getting
ready for bed a bit earlier than I used
to at night just cause I am ready to get
 cozy and comfortable.  Is that a sign
of aging............lol


Well,  that my list for this week.


Thanks for stopping in,  
always glad when you visit,  
and hope you will say hello, 
 so I know you were here.

Have a Fabulous Friday and
 a Winsome Weekend.

Love, Hugs, and
Father's Day Blessings,
Nellie


Happy Father's Day to all you
Dad's out there
and hope you get spoiled just 
a little bit rotten............lol
but just a lil bit, we don't want
to ruin you either!   lol
