Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 3, 2013

Scenes from Fall of  2013


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

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope your week has been a good one!

Mine has been good and busy!!  lol

Not complaining,  just sayin'.....
It has also been refreshing with some
 cooler nights.  I would tell you what all
I have been doing if I could only
 remember!  lol
Oh yea, I do remember that Monday 
was just a relationship building day,  
spent the morning with my Sil Susan, 
 talked  with Dee and my friend from
 Gainesville,  hubby and I worked outside 
a short while and I made din din, that was 
about it for Monday.......lol

A day full of love and relationship, another
one of my fav type of days.............

Think my post will fill you in on some
of it at least............So......
here we go.


#1

I am thankful

for skype.  We have just done it once with

Dee,  but it was fun,  she was able to show

us around their apartment.  She has an ipad, 

so we found out at the end if she turned it 

horizontally we could see more.  So she is
gonna give us another tour someday.

#2

I am thankful

for the lil bit cooler weather, we went out

for a bike ride last night and it was so nice.

#3

I am thankful

they we have been able to get out and do

some yard work for about 30 mins. or so

after hubby has gotten home 2 nights this

 week, cause typically it would be dark by

then.  So we are happy they are leaving

Daylight Savings time until Novemeber.

#4

I am thankful

that we will get to see Dee this weekend,

She is coming in Friday night, so of course, 

we are looking forward to that,  and they are

 still enjoying their new abode and surroundings.

#5

I am thankful 

for lil children in general,  but especially
 grateful for our lil darling. They are just so

precious and say the cutest things.  Sunday

after church we ran into Publix and when I

was about to leave the restroom this lil girl

came in....she was about 4 yrs. old,  I would

 say, and she looked around rather confused

then looked at me, and said "Is this the big gir" 

and I said do you mean the Big Girl's bathroom, 

 and she said yes, now I was thinking she was

 meaning for herself,  since she was probably

 now wearing big girl panties.  Then she still

 looked puzzled and sheepishly said "Where is

 the little girls bathroom",  it was all I could do

 to keep from cracking up,  but I contained 

myself,  and assured her this was it, and

that she could use any of those stalls.
When I left I saw her daddy and baby
brother waiting for her, and asked if he
had a lil girl in the restroom and he said
yes, so I told him what she said and he
cracked up.

The whole thing just put a smile on my face,

so adorable and so innocent.  and we have

that to look forward to with her lil grand-

daughter before too long.  She is gonna be

7 mos. old on Friday.

#6

I am thankful

for the fun weekend we had,  I watched

Brooklyn for awhile on Friday,  then Scott and
 Megan picked up dinner from the Sonny's 
bar-be-cue and had dinner with us here.  
We were all pretty tired from the week, 
 but enjoyed being together anyway.

This is what Brooklyn looked like when she
came over !

Just had to show you a recent pic 

Love those lil head bands on her,  she looks so cute!

Found these cute lil socks for her at Target,
they remind me of her happy disposition.


Saturday we went to a party to welcome the

future coming of a baby for a sweet young lady

 that we have known since she was 4 yrs. old, 

 this is her 3rd baby, and she didn't want a baby

 shower but her friend just wanted to do something 

nice for her,  so it was a welcome to the world party.

  Very cute idea,  and a great time was had by all.

Then we went for frozen yogurt and to Hobby

Lobby to look around. 

Then to dinner at Road House grill, they have
really scrumptious food, and we ran into some
fairly new friends,  that we haven't seen in a
long time,  so that was fun,  and we are gonna
try and get together soon.

so we made a day of it,  and it was a lot of

fun cause the weather was a bit cooler,  so it

was a very enjoyable day from start to finish.

Sunday was our normal day, of church, a frozen

yogurt smoothie, better known as a "Chocolate 
Elvis", and it was very peaceful and restful day
our fav kind of day!

#7

I am thankful

for hedge trimmers, manual and electric cause 
they make quick work out of doing our bushes, 
 I love the yard to look nice but don't like to 
spend a lot of time working on it.

#8

I am thankful

for a pecan pie hubby got at Sam's club....that

baby is really delicious..........and I love pecan

pie...........and especially chocolate pecan pie.

Ever had it........if not you gotta try it.

#9

I am thankful

that I finally finished all my Fall decorating, just

still need to get the spring/summer stuff put away.

It is all on my breakfast bar..........so hopefully
tomorrow,  but I have a dental appt. and then
might decide to go shopping instead,  so guess
I'll see what happens tomorrow.  lol

update: Thursday nite: Just finished putting
 it all away......shew...... so happy to be done
 with that!!

#10

I am thankful
for good chinese food because the chinese takeout
we got tonight was just less than horrible.  Same
place we have been getting it for years, but they
have the original owners back, we thought that
would be a good thing..................nada!
Have no idea where we will get chinese now, 
just probably want..............I only like it every
once in a blue moon anyway, and am very picky
about what I get,  so..............we'll see!  lol

#11
I am thankful

 I found another pretty white ceramic pumpkin,  
just like this large one you see in the pic above,
 just medium size,  and I got a faux orange baby
 boo pumpkin that I was gonna paint white,  but
 then I found a real baby white pumpkin at Publix
 on Sunday..............

Got the other 2 pumpkins at Hobby Lobby 40%
off,  gotta love those sales, and I just love pumpkins
too............I think I have 18 faux pumpkins, most of
 them are smaller ones,  but love them just the same. 
Nine of them were gifts, guess some folks know
what I like...........lol
 So far I only have 1 real one,  but the Methodist
 church where my kids went to preschool many
 moons ago, always  has a pumpkin patch every year
and the proceeds go to missions,  so we like to visit 
them yearly if we can.  It is like killing two birds with 
one stone, you get the pumpkins you want but you
help someone else in the process.  That is a win/win
for me.  I would like a few for the front porch, so
 will hopefully be checking them out soon.

#12
I am thankful
that I got another dental appt. under my belt,
 had 2 small fillings redone today, and it was pretty
quick and they came out great.  Just one more appt.
to go for another crown,  later this month,  then.....
 I will be done........yeaaahhh!!


#13
I am thankful
that we here in Florida, at least look like we are
 gonna be missing Tropical Storm Karen, and
praying for those that will not be missing her.




Well, here's my list of Thankful's for this week,
hope you have much to be thankful for too.


Love that you visit and thankful for your
sweet comments as well.............


Have a Wonderful Friday and Weekend
with those you hold dear............


Love, Hugs, and
Warmest Fall Blessings to ya!
