Greetings Sweet Friends,
Now don't die from shock that I am
on time for once. lol
Hope today finds you well and happy
and overflowing with blessings
from above.
This morning I was trying to do
some bible study, but I just kept
falling asleep, so I would read
awhile, then sleep awhile, then
read awhile and sleep awhile,
then pray awhile and sleep awhile,
and on and on, but guess I must
have needed it. Feel like I have
Rip Van Winkle disease. lol
Then this afternoon I felt pretty
motivated so just been doing some
needed things around the house.
Also preparing things to make that
Cran/Raspberry Salad I posted yester-
day, accept ours will be Cran/straw-
berry, hubby wanted to try that, so
I have already made the poppy seed
dressing, and have the chicken all
ready, so going to get the lettuce
all ready next...............so looking
forward to this delightful salad.
It has been a much more relaxing
week here, thank goodness!
Since I still don't have access to
any new pics, I thought I would
go with some nature and floral
pics from around my house
and yard some years back.
So on with Thankful Thursday....
I am thankful
#1
for a really nice time over at Scott
and Megans on Sunday, some
much needed fun after the earlier
stressful week we had. lol
#2
that our phones and garage door are
up and running again after last weeks
lightning hit. Still waiting for the new
computer monitor to see if anything
else needs to be done to my computer.
You can always hope!! lol

#3
we have a lap top too.............boy, do
you get spoiled with being able to look
so much up online...........and when it
is down you almost feel lost without
it................and I am not crazy about
lap tops to be honest............but they
are definitely better than nothing. lol

that a lil gal that used to be in our
college/career bible study 14 yrs.
or so ago, was in town and came
by to see us. She is married over
12 yrs. now and has 3 children and
she lives in Michigan. What a
sweetheart she is...............and it was
so such a blessing to get to see her.

#5
that Susan got a very good report
from her surgeon on Monday, and
is continuing to do well at home.
She is getting home physical therapy,
but they only felt she needed it 2 days
a week for a few weeks, so that was
good news.

for a nice long chat with our Dee
Tuesday morning. She was working
all last week and had company over
the weekend, so didn't get to talk to
her but for a few mins one time,

her this morning.
#7
that Dee, Jerry or Rosie and her
friend's dog's Maddie were not
hurt in anyway, when they were
suddenly charged by a very
aggressive acting pit bull while
they were minding their own
business and sitting on their
front porch...........scared them
half to death.........we definitely
feel their angels were watching
over them, as the dog just all
of a sudden calmed down, and
he just smelled of Rosie (and
she is 7pd. chijuajua) and then
smelled Maddie (a probably
12 pd. Schnauzer), so Jerry was
able to quickly snatch Rosie up
when he started to sniff Maddie
and then thank heavens a man
showed up and said it was his
daughters dog. DeeAnna said
I don't think I have ever been
that scared before...........
Plus the fact that they had a
situation fresh in their minds
that Jerry had seen at the
hospital where he works,
I am sure really added to their
fears.....The man had both of
his arms ripped off by a pitbull.
Isn't that horrible!
I seriously wonder why they do
not outlaw those dogs, just too
many incidents of devastation.

for lactaid Milk, as I am lactose
intolerant and it is so nice to be
able to just pour a glass of milk or
add it to a recipe without thinking
about having to take a lactaid pill,
cause sometimes I used to forget,
and then paid for it later............
Plus hubby and I both think
it tastes better for some reason.
#9
that Scott was able to take care of our
plants and lawn while we were away
in Asheville a few weeks ago if
needed, and we just found out this
passed weekend that not only did he
do that, he was also so sweet and
thoughtful to fertilize all our shrubs
for us. Our boxwood plants in the
front of the house really needed it,
as they were sort of yellowing, and I
had done some liquid fertilizers a few
months ago, but it hadn't done much,
but they are all nice and green and
healthy looking again now.
Thanks Scott!!
#10
that Susan has such sweet and helpful
neighbors, as it is helpful to us as well.
Otherwise, we would have to be taking
her trash can out and in and getting her
mail daily, but many times they are
doing it which saves us having to go
down there daily.
#11
for the Sunday School materials we
have had this year, they have been
very indepth bible studies and I feel
like I have learned so much.
#12
for Sweet Iced Tea with lemon, nothing
like a home brewed batch over lots of
ice. I have been having a hankering
for some for about a week now, so
finally made some today, and what a
tasty delight I don't make it too often
cause of the calories.... I do like it sweet,
but I am a Southern gal and we do like
our Sweet Tea, so have to give in once
in awhile, ya know!!
