Thankful Thursday April 7, 2016, floral pics from Asheville

I will give thanks  to the Lord

because of his righteousness
and I will sing praise to the
 name of the Lord Most High.

Psalm 7:17

Greetings and Salutations
 Sweet Friends,

Hope it has been a good week 
where you are, and that you are
Loving Spring!!


Have to say it has been a good
week and we truly are loving
Spring......everything looks so
beautiful.............

Thought I would show you some
pics from Asheville that we took
while walking in the neighborhood. 
Spring was still waking up there,
 as you can see by the pics  below

These were taken off her back porch 
 and in her backyard on Easter Sunday.

Make sure to click on one of the pics
to enlarge them all for better viewing
pleasure.........................

 but there are some amazingly
 beautiful trees that you will see
 perking up the neighborhood.  
My friend said they were called
 "Red Bud" trees

and there were some right next
door to their house.

Here is a close up of the branches
of a Red Bud tree. They are just
such gorgeous trees............

   Some pics
 almost look like Fall,  and I should
 have gotten my camera out on one
of the sunny days instead, but guess
 I was too busy having fun in the sun
and lazing around!!  lol

Guess I will get on with my
 Thankful Post..................

Hasn't been a real eventful week

here really, pretty much just getting
 settled back in, unpacking, going
 thru mail, etc, you know the drill. lol

So....................

I am thankful

#1

That we had an uneventful and

beautiful bright sunny day trip

home from Asheville.  We typically 

have rain especially in S. Carolina,

 think this was our first time to pass

 thru there without it,  so that was

 really nice.

#2

that I got all my unpacking done

very quickly, and we are settled

back in.............

#3

that I got all my Easter decorations
taken down and replaced those 
with Spring type decorations.

#4
that I got to see our lil darling on
Wed. - it has been 2 weeks since
I have seen her........so she was a
 sight for sore eyes. Amazing the 
changes in 2 weeks, I realized
all of a sudden just how quickly 
she is growing up and it made 
me a bit sad to think about it...
but such is life, and we had a
  really fun day, as we need to
take every opportunity to 
enjoy this time.


#5
for the sweet responses from
our lil darling that are new....
Like when I said I missed her,
she said she missed me too,
and when I told her I loved 
her, she said I love you too. 
Treasures for the heart!

Don't know what this big white tree
is called but it might be a "Crabapple
tree" ............it had more blooms on
it before it rained, wished I had gotten
the pic sooner..............

#6

  for even more cards and face-
book birthday wishes that came
 in this week.  They were surely
a sweet surprise.........



#7
that one of our Sunday School
students passed her nursing
exams and is officially a nurse
now.  she is a really sweet girl
and I am sure she is gonna be
a great nurse.

#8
for interesting things that happen
 in our lives, that make us wonder
 what the Lord is up to..............

I have been contacted by 6 people
 from my past in the last few weeks.
One because her daughter passed
away, one because her husband
passed away,  both were previous
neighbors. I will also be seeing more
 of the first ones family members
 that we knew and possibly some of
our other old neighbors from when
 we lived in S. Florida, at the funeral
 tomorrow. Even tho, it is a sad event
I am looking forward to seeing them
all again..............

This is a close up of the

white tree.  If you know what

the tree is called, please by

all means, tell us....

#9
that hubby brought home 
Bagels from Panera.......especially
the Asaigo cheese ones.  I just love
them toasted with Butter........yum!



#10
that it isn't hard to have a credit
card cancelled quickly, and was
able to be done by hubby.  I was
in Dollar tree yesterday and was
waiting in line, and went ahead
and got my credit card out, and
have no idea what happened to
it...........I feel like possibly I laid
it down a moment and someone
grabbed it, cause I searched thru
my purse and wallet numerous
times, and looked on the floor by
where I was standing and asked
and called again later to see if any-
one ever turned it in and nothing!
Fortunately, if it was stolen they
got no chance to use it.

#11
for beautiful " Red Bud" trees
 that are so gorgeous and really
wake up the landscape.......
and "Forsynthia bushes" which
do the same and you will see
 next week.

#12
for my trusty lil  Lumix point and
shoot camera that takes all my pics.
What would I do without her!!  lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, Sweet folks, that's it for today.

Hope yall have a really lovely
weekend.

Thanks for stoppin' by and hope
to see ya back real soon.

Love and Blessings,
Nellie
