Thankful Thursday - January 8, 2015 and Table Tops from Winter 2012

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

Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope things are well in your Winter World??
Course, I am assuming that most of you are
experiencing Winter type temps and maybe
even snow.  It has been cold here for a few
days now and we are liking it...........

Not much going on here still this week other
than babysitting the last few days.  Haven't
started taking down my christmas stuff yet.
Maybe over the weekend.  lol

Thought I would throw in some past scenes
from Cozy Place in 2012.  I always tend to
 like a more minimalist look in the Winter
for some reason, guess it is because out
side everything is barer than normal, so
just seems fitting.  Also my Winter color
go to's definitely include berry reds, and
Darker colors.

Well, I am running late,  so guess I had
better get on with my list......lol

I am thankful

#1

for a new study our whole church is doing

in Sunday School and Church.  It is called,

"We can trust the Bible",   and it is by 

"AnswersBibleCurriculum.com

and this is just our 2nd week,  but it is very

 good material,  and think we are really

 gonna learn a lot and enjoy it a great deal.

#2

that I was available to watch Brooklyn

again today (Thurs.) as she has been

sick since Sunday and is feeling good

at times and very tired at others.  She

typically doesn't go down for a nap

till noon or later,  but she is so tired

she is ready for a nap at 10 or 10:30,

and she just passed out in my arms

today,  which is very unusual for her

unless we have been rocking for a

while...............

#3

that Dee has her first Real Estate contract

and it is looking more like a go all the time,

so naturally she is very excited, and we

are excited for her as well.

#4

that I have had time to work on my card

business again, and I am getting very excited 

about it again.

#5

For some Tony Roma's already cook pork ribs 
that hubby happened on at Sam's.  They were
 great, and  I am very picky about b-b-cue sauce,
 but their's is really good. The boneless ribs are
very lean tender and tasty,  and we got 2 meals

off the one package. A bonus!! lol

#6
That some conflict we had this weekend with 
someone got resolved very quickly, and the 
relationships are all better for it.

#7

that we are having cold weather again,

Yeah.......cause it has been in the 80's,

and it is about 55 out there today.  Love
it,  cause after all it is Winter,  course,
if I had the Winter some of you have
I might not be so thrilled !!  lol
Think Dee said it was suppose to be
 5 degrees in Asheville today.  They had
snow flurries yesterday, but they didn't
stick and she was disappointed!!  lol

#8
that hubby is bringing home Outback for din din
 tonight since I am watching the baby again today.
  Shew,  and sounds so good to me right now,
  but it is..... hours away.  lol

Note later Thurs: it was yummo...........

#9
That I had such a sweet time with our lil darling
 yesterday (Thurs), even tho she is so tired.... before 
she wears down she is just so much fun, and so
 pleasant and sweet. I am constantly amazed by
her ability to communicate using hand guestures,
 body language and at times just 1 word. Also
she is really developing quite a sense of humor
and a love for reading books..........


#10
that we finally got some new glass shelves cut to
 replace the ones that broke during my china hutch
 implosion about a year and a half ago.  I had been
 looking off and on for someone who could not only
 cut the shelves but who could cut a plate groove in
 them, as well.
No one does that anymore for some reason.

implosion just click here.

#11
for that TV show "Undercover Boss". We somehow can
get that thru Roku now,  and we have been watching old
episodes. What a great program,  so encouraging
and inspiring.  What a nice change of pace!

#12
that YOU stopped by today. It is always a blessing
to know that someone is reading and enjoying the
posts you spend time writing.  So thanks for being
a part in making my day.........
