Praise the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
Psalm 104:1

Greetings Sweet Friends,

So what has your week been like?
Hope it has been a good one.

Mine has been quiet and rainy mostly,
 yet good with some sadness over current
events........but I am gonna choose to focus
on the good things in life.
We watched our lil darling yesterday and she
 just keeps us laughing, she is so funny........
then after she left we did the yard, so nice to 
have that out of the way before the weekend.

Got to talk with Dee today for quite awhile, so
that was one of the highlights of my day. Also
did some reading,  so that was fun, altho I kept
falling asleep..........lol

Kept aside some pics from my tablescape
on Tuesday and thought I would play with
affects and use those pictures for today.
All the affects came from Photoshop 4.0,
and they are fun to play around with......
So hope you enjoy them!

Well, on with Thankful Thursday........

Cutout affect


I am thankful

#1

for a lovely time over at Scott and Megans on Sunday.

It was a fun visit, and we get a kick out of watching
Brooklyn at home in her own environment.  She is
into climbing these days, and also looking at books.

#2

that we got to go over there, as it will probably be our
 last visit there, since they are moving very soon....
in the area tho, thank goodness...............

Then we will get to enjoy visiting at their new abode.

Film grain affect

#3

that I have had time to work on  some cards again
this week, mostly for my daughter, course, my
family is usually my inspiration for my cards,
but then I can convert the words in the cards
to be used for whoever I want.

#4

for this wonderful love story we shared in our Sunday
 School class last week.  You will be truly blessed if you
 watch it...I promise!  It's not very long...........

This gentleman wound up caring for his wife for about
 13-15 years, from other info I have read, and he wrote
 a book about it all too...........want to get it myself.  
This man hugely impacted so many people because of 
what he did,   Pastors were talking about him, like the
 one in the video and people were renewing their vows,
 and I read somewhere that it was said it is because in
situations like that it is typical for women to stand by
their men,  but unfortunately,  not so true the other
 way around.
So he is a man to call hero for sure!

#5
that since we can't be with Dee on her Birthday this
 year,  one of her best friends is going to visit her,
 along with her hubby and baby.  So know that
will be a lot of fun for her..........as they really
miss each other.

#6

that we have a mail systems where we can mail
 cards and gifts.  She got some Tate's Bakery
Cookies from us today, and was very happy 
about that................lol

Equalized affect

#7

that I finally made a daily " to do" list, just for things
 I need to do to maintain my body and health. 
 Have thought about it many times, so finally did it.

 It has  really freed my mind up not to have to think
 about all that, and now to  just look at my list.
 Have been getting most everything on the list done
this week, which is great!

  Cause sometimes I forget some things.............

Palette knife affect


#8

for Air Conditioning,  especially this time of year when
 it is blazing hot,  100+ temps, and with me having my
 own personal tropical waves..........It is the bomb!!


#9
that I found out yesterday that Dee has made her 
reservations and will be coming to visit in Sept. for
a few days..... Lord willing!
Whoo Hoo.

Gradient map affect


#10
for a nice cozy bed to sleep in every night, with a
 paddle fan breezing right above me.  Bliss!


#11
for God's word,  The Bible....
for there is nothing like it to bring comfort,
instruction and truth.  Some people believe
the Bible is not for today,  but I think it is
just as much for today, as it ever has been.
Because God is the same yesterday, today
and forever, and since the Bible is his word,
I believe it is the same!

Omni lighting affect

#12
for a buy one, get one free coupon to our
favorite Frozen Yogurt Place.  
See ya Sunday, Yomii.................lol


#13
for a salad with Olive oil and Vinegar dressing
that my Step Mother used to make.  I was
making salad for dinner and thought about it,
as I haven't made it in a long while,.....so
decided there was no time like the present
 and it was so delicious, we had 2 bowls!
Us kids use to fight for the last scraps in 
the salad bowl, it was so good. Think it was
really my fav thing she made,  and she
was a great cook,  and so was my dad.
