Welcome to Thankful Thursday - Sept. 12, 2013

 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
 and his courts with praise; 
give thanks to him and praise his name.
Psalms 100:4

Morning Sweet Friends,

Well, I'm late again............we were
 having fun last night so this just had
 to wait.  I did get to work on it some,
 but had to wait and finish this morning.

Hope all is well with you and yours!

So..........with that thought in mind,
 I will begin...

#1

I am thankful

for all the one on one time we have gotten 

to have with DeeAnna the last few weeks,

as Jerry has been in Asheville working.

Unexpected but very welcomed and helpful.

#2

I am thankful

that she made it safely to Asheville this evening. 

We took her to the airport around 5:30 and it was

 only an hour and 20 min.flt. from here.  She went 

up to spend the weekend with Jerry and they are

both driving back on Sunday to finish up with the

 movers and the closing.

Just a week left now............

#3

I am thankful

that Scott, Megan and the baby are feeling

much better,  as they were all sick or starting to

come down with the flu or a virus on Sunday.

#4

I am thankful

we were able to reschedule our family get 

together for next Wed. at their house and it

worked out well that we couldn't do it Sunday

cause now Jerry will be able to come too.

#5

I am thankful

for all the time we are getting to keep Rosie,

so hopefully it will keep us from missing her

so much, since we have had her quite a long

time, so maybe that will keep us until they
 come at Thanksgiving!  lol

#6

I am thankful

my Sil Susan got a good recommendation from

someone to a good person who can repair her

springs on her garage door.  Always such a hard
thing trying to decide who to use, and wanting to
make sure it will be someone who will do a good job.
Word of mouth advertising always seems to be best!

#7

I am thankful

for a lovely dinner at Road House Grill tonight.

The food  and service was wonderful............and
 a nice cap off of the day............that was spent
 with Dee.

#8

I am thankful
that we decided to do a lil adventuring in the
historic district of the town where the airport is. 
We were looking for the area where they have
these beautiful old homes,  but never found it.
We have heard about a place called Riverwalk

but never knew where it was, but accidentally

 came across it in our adventuring.  So that was 
fun. They have these long porch type swings 
under pavilions along the lake,  so we stopped
 and sat a spell,  it was so cool and breezy we
 couldn't believe it!  Great place for walking too!

Really lovely for an almost 100 degree day,  I 

have to say..........it was only about 6pm. too!

Just a nice unexpected surprise!

Think we will definitely go back again soon.....
when it is just the 2 of us.  We had Rosie with 
us, but she enjoyed it too.

#9

I am thankful

that maybe soon we will begin working on our

computer/work room.  I have a new futon cover
 I bought early this year and I bought some table-
cloths recently (that I was gonna use to cover my
 dining room chairs, but don't think I am really 

gonna like it), so think I am gonna be making

 curtains out of them now...........so I am getting

 eager to get started.............rrrrrrmmm,  
rrrrrrrrmmm, hear my engine raring
 to go!!  lol

#10

I am thankful
for pretty orange monarch butterflies.
I have seen quite a number of them lately
as my lantana is blooming,  and they are
a fav of butterflies.  Just pretty creatures.

#11
I am thankful
for Flower food,  you know those lil packets
of white stuff you get when you buy fresh
flowers.  You put it in the water and it keeps
your flowers fresh for longer.  I usually change
the water once a week and add more flower
food and my flowers keep looking good for
over 3 weeks most of the time.  Love that,
cause I love having fresh flowers.


#12
I am thankful 
for a  smart and brave lil 12 yr. old and a wonderful
 lady that was a 911 dispatcher for 2 lil girls who were
 in the home when someone broke in,  the dispatcher
 helped to keep them calm and told them to go into a 
closet and to keep quiet and hide there, and to not
hang up the phone.   They are both safe and sound
and the men were apprehended,  another great
ending to what could have been a tragedy.
Praise the Lord!

Watch it here if you'd like -
Warning -  It will make you cry:

Always nice to hear from you!


Have a Super Duper Weekend,

 Love, Hugs and  
Special Family Blessings,
