Thankful Thursday April 21, 2016, Random Floral pics

Greetings Sweet Friends

Hope you week has been a good 

one.......and that you have had some

 time to spend with the special people

 in your life.

It has been that sort of week here,

and it has been very good!  

My Mom's heart is full......

and I will let my thankfuls....

do the talking.

I am thankful

#1

that we got a lot done over the

weekend in prep for Dee and

Jerry's visit.  Sometimes it is

good to have visitors, even if 

they are family, as it makes

you do some things you have

been putting off............lol

#2

that we had a good time visiting

over at  Scott and Megans on

 Sunday, we got Italian food, and

enjoyed sitting outside and per-

using Scott's garden since it 

was so nice out.

#3

that DeeAnna got in safe and 

sound from Asheville on Monday

 evening, and Jerry will follow

on Friday evening................

 #4

that she brought Rosie her lil

long haired chijuajua with her,

(Rosie was our first furry grand-

child, we practiced our spoiling

habits on her, so we miss her

too. lol) and am thankful that

 Rosie did great. It is only an hr.

and 15 min. flight, so that makes 

it fairly easy, plus Rosie is pretty

 quiet when you take her out, and

 she is used to being in a carrier

 since Dee used to take her out

like that a lot..........so all that 

helps immensely...............

#5

that her flight got in being only

10 mins. late, cause there have

been a few times she was sup-

pose to arrive at 7:30 and it

 turned out being 10:30 or later.

So that was especially good

since she had Rosie.............

and because we like to spend

every minute we can with Dee.

#6

for all the fun we have been

having since she got here. We

had Tuesday just the 2 of us as

hubbies boss was here, so he

had to go in........so we had an 

all girl day just the 2 of us...

worked out together, made fruit

smoothies, sat in the sun, and

drove around the neighborhood

so she could see the changes

and yakked and yakked........

of course!!  and hubby brought

home "4 rivers" B-B-cue and we 

had dinner and played some cards 

out in the backyard, it was such 

great weather............

Then on Wed. we watched lil 

darling as usual for me, but

 Dee of course,  doesn't get to

 see her that often so they had 

a lot of fun playing, jumping and 

tickling, then most of the family,

 sans the 2 hubbies, came over

 for pizza and salad. It was a

short but fun evening...........

#7

that Dee is going with a friend

on the "SunRail" today (that is our

fairly new mass transit train in the

Orlando area). they are going

down to Winter Park and will

meet 2 others friends there for

lunch, then later in the day she

will be going to spend the night

with Scott and Megan and to

the beach tomorrow.  So she

is really looking forward to that.

So hoping they have good 

weather, there is a chance of

rain, so praying it passes us

by this time...........

#8

that I finished my antibiotics

and seem to be feeling more

energetic, so am thinking that

infection from my tooh must

have been what was making

me so tired lately.  

#9

that my hubby is such a good

sport and encourages getting

 take out all week, so we can

 spend our time visiting and

 having fun,rather than cooking 

and cleaning up the kitchen.

He is such a sweetie!!

#10

that our sheets for our new bed

came in today and fit perfectly.

We have just sort of been mak-

ing do with what we had cause

the ones we bought just did not

 fit well, and would have been

 pulling off the bed too easily.

Now we can finally get our bed

completely set up the way it is

suppose to be.......

I had to order a lot of things like

mattress pads and sheets that

had deep pockets as we did

get an adjustable bed, but after

our initial disaster, we ordered

 it all ourselves online..........as

we just ordered one bed to start

to see how it worked out,  so it

has been a long process but

definitely worth it....as it saved

us $1200.00.............

#11

that we will get to see both

Dee and Jerry again Friday

night and Monday afternoon

before they leave Monday

night..............Jerry gets in

Friday evening and they will

be here, then they are going 

with Scott and Megan to St. 

Augustine for part of the day,

On Sat. then over to Jerry's

 parents home till Monday

 afternoon.  So they have

gotten to visit everyone they

wanted to see and have a

lil extra fun too........

#12

that my daughter-in-love has a
very strong sense of family, and
encourages my son in that as
well. She is always happy to
get together with our family,
and is good to us all, and I 
truly appreciate how fairly
 she tries to do things when 
we have special holidays.
Such a blessing!

Well, that has been my week, 
 Hope yours has been as good
 as mine.

Glad you could drop by and
 hope it made you think of some
things you are thankful for to....
and would love for you to share
them if you'd like.....

Have a really Dandy Weekend!!

Love, Hugs and 
April Blessings,

Nellie
