Thankful Thursday March 12, 2015 and From Red to Blue in the kitchen

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How has your week been going???

Well, I hope.

Our's was going well until yesterday morning. We 

 started having some plumbing problems on Tuesday

 evening, but things seemed fine on Wed. morning, 

but then our potty overflowed all over our master Bath

 and into my closet. Thank the Lord it was clean water

 at least..............and that we have tile in the water

closet and dressing area, but we had to take every-

thing on the floor in my closet out so we could pull the

 carpeting and padding back, and our bedroom has

 stuff everywhere, of course,  but at least hubby was

 able to get it fixed....................so we are very happy

 about that.  We have fans running in there and it 

seems the floor and the padding and the bottom of

 the carpeting is dry, so now trying to get the top

 dried out. Hoping by tonight or in the morning,

 we can put the everything back in there.

It could have been so much worse,  so we are

thankful we were home, and that we knew what

to do................

Thought I would show you some small changes

in my kitchen that made a big difference for me

since I was tired of the red accessories. Wish

I had thought to take some before shots but

didn't.......so will just show you the new look.

Really didn't change that much but amazing

what changing the tablecloth and some 

towels and accessories will do..........lol

It did have a burgundy checked tablecloth and

 some snowmen in dark colors,  so hap hap happy

 to see the blue and white now.....lol

Will get on with Thankful Thursday as well.

I am Thankful

#1
for a nice day on Saturday, which was hubbies
birthday,  so I made him a nice breakfast with
his favorite Sweet Potato Pancakes, and we
went to Brooklyn's birthday party (with a Straw-
berry Shortcake theme - so cute)  in the after-
noon, and it was nice to see everyone cause
some of them we haven't seen since last March,
 and the kids really had a ball since it was at the
 park and there were all these play gyms and
 slides and lots of areas to run around.
  Afterwards hubby and I went to dinner at
 Texas roadhouse,  then came home and went
 to bed early.........trying to beat the jet lag type
 affect of springing forward.  lol
A very nice day...........

#2

we got some sealer on our front walkway finally.

It really needs another coat so hoping the weather

and time cooperates this week, but very thankful

to have at least gotten one coat on.

#3

that hubby seemed to have a good Birthday 

celebration on Sunday.  Scott, Megan and

the Baby and my SIL Susan came over for

dinner and dessert.  Made his 2 favorites

Beef Stroganoff and Banana Pudding.

I showed his birthday table earlier in the

week so if you want to see it just click

here or scroll down.

#4

that we will have more than one use for this utility

trailer I got hubby for his birthday. Sorry to interrupt

the decorating flow,  but just had to show you what

I meant by that..............lol

We can pull it by hand too,  just like a wagon,  but a 

much bigger wagon............lol

Lil Darling sure enjoyed it...................

#5

That I finally took away all the rest of the red in the 

 family and Dining room on Monday.........didn't change

 much for now just replaced red things with Easter things, 

 but looks so fresh and Springy............Am loving it..........

#6
for the sweetest and most creative marriage proposal
I saw on yahoo that I have ever seen.  It was really
wonderful and the guy put so much into it.  He planned
it a year in advance as her birthday present.  Definitely
need a hanky...............
No doubt this fellow is crazy about her..............

#7
that we got all our bushes out in front of the house
 trimmed back, thanks to daylight savings time.

#8

for my amazing, handy dandy husband.  He saved us 
over $1,000  probably being able to fix the plumbing
issue, and using the shop vac he got all the water up.
  We have experienced something like this before of a
 much greater magnitude, so we pretty much knew what
 to do, So we wound up being able to cancell the
 emergency water service since they took so long,
 and didn't have to call roto rooter either.

#9 
that it was all clean water,  and didn't get in the
 wallboard, or ruin anything.

#10
that our lil darling was in such a great mood on Wed.
and seemed to understand there was something of
 gravity was going on,  and was as cooperative as
 she could be..........amazing..... for a 2 yr. old.

#10
that we were home and the water wasn't
on the floor very long, which helped keep
 any permanent type damage away.


#12
that I finally got some Lemon Curd for my lemon
scones, and that just made them, so will probably
be buying gluten free scones mix again.   lol

We had a pretty  fun and productive
 week, this week,  so guess we don't
 have Spring fever yet.........lol    


Happy you stopped by..............and
 look forward to hearing from you!

Love, Hugs, and 
St. Patrick's Day Blessings,

Nellie
