Finally, brothers and sisters, 
whatever is true, whatever is noble,
 whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable,
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy,
think about such things.

Philippians 4:8 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are having a lovely week
and have been enjoying April. Hard
to believe Sunday will be May 1st
already.........time marches on.........

I have been Spring Cleaning today 
and was happy to finally do some
 more.  I have been doing a little
Spring cleaning once a week. Much
 easier that way, I have to say!!

Our back porch needs to be the
 next place, if I have my way!! lol
Course, when you own a home
their is always something that
needs to be done.....lol
Not complaining, just saying!!
I am thankful to have a home
to clean.......and a nice one
at that!!  

Well, gonna get on with it, so
I might actually get this posted
today for a change ....wow, that
will make 2 weeks in a row that
I have been on time.
Shocking !!  lol

I am thankful 

#1

for a really great testimony we heard 
on Sunday of how God saved a 
marriage. It was such a great reminder
 of the power of God and prayer!

#2
for a fun day with lil darling on Sat.,
 we took her to get frozen yogurt for
 the first time, and she was so cute.
She started singing this ice cream
 song we have seen on these kiddie
 sites...."Ice Cream, yeah, Ice cream
eat it all up,  eat it all up!

She is usually shy, so we were quite
 surprised as there were about 8-10 
other people in yogurt shop..........
She was so cute and excited!! 

She had lots of energy afterwards, 
only wish it had that same affect
 on us!!  lol

#3
that the power company came this week
 and cut back some trees and vines off
our power lines in the backyard.  We 
still have more to do but it want cost
us as much since they did some of it
 already.  So that is nice.......


#4
that Dee, Jerry and Rosie got home safe 
and sound on Monday evening..........

#5
that one of our Sunday School students
 had her  baby on Sunday evening and all 
went well.  They had a lil girl.............
she is a 3rd child, they already have a 
boy and a girl.............


#6
that my all of my good smelling flowers 
are blooming,  gardenia's, Honeysuckle,
 and Jasmine.  They all have a wonderful
 fragrance. I have some Ginger flowering 
as well, but for some reason it has no scent
 and typically it is very sweet smelling.
 Lil darling and I were out sniffing the 
flowers this morning (Wed.)........and
 she can't pass up picking a flower......lol

#7
that I got to mow our yard for the first time
 this year, actually hubby has done it rather 
quickly a few times. We have a riding
 mower, so I like doing the lawn, it's really
 kinda fun.....lol 
 and always love the results.....


#8
that I finally put up my new shower
curtain I got last Fall sometime. I
decided to wait until Spring since we 
had so many changes to the house
 with Fall and Christmas, then forgot
all about it come Spring, do to our
trip and bed hunt......
Anyway, I love it....it looks great!
It is called " Florida" and was just
$10 for a lovely pattern and fabric.

#9
that we have been sitting on our back-
yard bench quite a lot lately, since it is
 under an oak tree that provides shade 
and it has been so breezy as well.  It's
was my birthday gift from Scott,
Megan and the baby last year.


#10
that we finally met our new neighbors.
They bought the house about a yr. or
so ago, but were only here ocassionally,
so it was like a vacation home.
She finally decided to retire and come
and enjoy it.  So they are here to stay
 now.  She was very nice and friendly...
but they were not friendly at all before,
 so we thought they were new home
owners, but they aren 't....
So that was a surprise!!

#11
that the young lady who stayed with us
a few months ago, has been improving
steadily since then, and is going to a
Seminar in Tx. this weekend.  This is
huge for her, as she has been sick with
an environmental illness for 10 yrs.
and it seems the Lord is healing and
has quite the plans for her.  So happy
and excited for her..............


#12
that I got some Spring cleaning done
that I have been wanting to get to....
pulling out the living room sofa and
cleaning behind it, doing the windows
and woodwork.  The woodwork gets
so much sun around the windows that
it gets dried out, so it definitely needed
some oiling.......Old English scratch
cover (oil and stain all in one) to the 
rescue.  Looks so much better now
and the wood look hydrated again.

Well, that's our blessings for this week,

Hope you have a really Fabulous
weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Love, Hugs and
Last of April Blessings,
Nellie
