Welcome to Thankful Thursday - August 8, 2013

Quiet rest and contentment,  but where???  You'll see................


Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you Lord, have never forsaken
 those who seek you.
Psalm 9:10


Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are doing well and
having a good week.

Mine has been busier than usual,  but has

been a good week in spite of that.  As you
will read..................

#1

I am thankful

that Dee and Jerry had their house appraisal

on Tuesday,  just waiting for the results now,

but their realtor thinks it went well.  Hoping
they hear soon, so she can give her notice at
work, cause doesn't want to give it too early,
cause you never know.

Update:  thanks for those of you who prayed
they got their appraisal back and it was just
$3,000. less,  so that will work!

#2

I am thankful

that my SIL Susan is having a great time on

 vacation. She did hurt her foot tho,  so if you feel

 so led pray that she enjoys the last days of her

trip across the USA.  They are seeing some
great sights and she is really enjoying it.

#3

I am thankful

her pets are all eating well, and not pining away

for her........at least the cats and birds anyway.  

She boarded the dogs, so last I heard they are 

doing well too. Definitely an answer to prayer!!

Cause they are only used to her.

#4

I am thankful

that I got to enjoy watching Brooklyn 2 days

this week,  and we will get to watch her for a

few hours on Sat. while Mommy and Daddy

get some time together.  If only my joy in

watching her,  equaled my energy levels, I

would do this all the time.

 Here I am eating Oatmeal first thing in the morning.

My Mommy got me some new wheels,  I have
been wanting to walk, so there is no stoppin
me now..........................

Uh Oh,  nobody told me about these cabinet 
thingies.................things were going along
 just fine until this................


#5

I am thankful

that we are finally getting around to having a

 Sunday School social at our house tomorrow

 night.  It will be a small group,   which is

perfect for me,  cause I am more of a one on

oner myself, I love getting to know people and

you can't do that real well in a large group, or

at least I can't ............lol

#6

I am thankful

for all the sweet, encouraging and under-
standing comments and offers of prayers 
I have gotten from so many of you sweet 
friends concerning Dee and Jerry, and Rosie's
 (our grandaughter dog's) move at the end
 of the month. They have really warmed 
my heart and I thank you and am feeling
those prayers.

#7

I am thankful

for a long conversation with my girl this
morning, and some hopeful thoughts at
least,  that they really don't think they
will want to live up in Asheville forever.
That sure made my heart feel better
whether it turns out to be true or not.
I think the thing that was the hardest
is thinking it might be forever,  and
it might,  but I don't really need to
think about that right now.  So that
really did help.

#8
I am thankful
for an especially sweet notebook writing
from my hubby this morning.  It was
really precious, and made me a bit
misty eyed.  A very good thing......


#9
I am thankful
for my hubby and what a great heart
he has............and love watching him
with our lil darling.  He is just too cute 
with her,  like he was with our kids,
I think our adult children are getting
a kick out of watching him too.
Brooklyn was sooo tired last Saturday
and fighting it.... but Grampy won out
with this magic swinging techniques.  lol

quiet contentment on grampy's lap,  he was the only
one who could get her to sleep..............he has the
magic touch.


#10
I am thankful
that we were able to get our lil darling
to really belly laugh yesterday for the
very first time...............it was so
hilarious..........and heartwarming.
and just what she needed I think,
as those toofers are driving her
crazy these days.  Bless her heart.


#11
I am thankful
that we cleaned our carpets this week,
something that has been bugging me
for a lil while. Love when we are having
company cause as I have said before it
motivates me to get on with something
that has needed doing anyway!  lol
We do our own with a Hoover carpet
cleaner only using hot water.  We only
use resolve carpet cleaner on any spots
that don't come up with the hot water.
Just make sure you keep going over the
soapy spots till you see no more soap
going into your cleaner.
That way you don't get all that soapy
residue in your carpets that make them
have to be cleaned at least once a year.
A friend of ours that was in the carpeting
business told us over 30 years ago, to
only spot clean for as long as you can,
cause once you start putting soap in
your carpet, it starts to deteroiate your
carpeting, plus makes for a lot of work
and expense of cleaning them often,\
and he was so right. That is what we
 have always done and our carpeting 
looks great. You would be shocked by
 how much dirt just using" hot water" 
takes out of your carpets.
It is truly amazing!!



#12
I am thankful
for God's mercy, grace and goodness
to our family by giving us the good
 relationships that we all enjoy and
have in our little family.  It is such a
 joy, as we had 20 some odd years with 
many problems and ups and down from
 our families of origin, during the time
 we were raising our kids. So these last
 8 yrs. or so have been a little like 
Heaven for us.  
Also thankful we were all able to get
together last Saturday night here
for dinner.


Well, there she is.....the list for this
week..............


So glad you came by and hope you
leave a comment and let us know
what you are thankful for today or
just leave a comment!!  lol


Hope you have a wonderful
Friday and Weekend,

Love, Hugs, and
Happy Family Blessings to ya!
