Thankful Thursday Oct. 20, 2016, Pics of Fall's Past #8

In God we make our boast all day long, 

and we will praise your name forever.

Psalm 44:8

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a good week and

uneventful week, as far as anything

 bad goes!  lol

Our 2nd half of the week was definitely

 better than the first as you will read. of

course, it could have been worse, but

it was just totally unexpected but turned

out fine, most importantly.

We dodged the hurricane Bullet for a

 mini flood bullet, but if I had to choose

 I would prefer the mini flood.  lol

Thought I would add some photos of a

Fall tablescape I did for my son's birth-

day a few years back.

So on with my post....sorry I am sooo

late this week.

I am thankful

#1

that we were able to take care of

a flood we had in our master bath

 last Friday. Right after I posted my 

Thankful Thurs. post I walked into 

our bedroom to find our whole

 bathroom, dressing room area and

 part of our walk-in closet flooded.

The baffle valve in our septic tank

was blocked, so hubby (my hero)

was able to unplug it. Thankful

hubby is so handy, also for our

trusty shop vac, and for fans....

Oh and that is was clean water!!

Also very very grateful we were
home, cause if it did that much
damage in a couple of hours,
can't imagine if it had been for
all day or longer.

#2

that today (Friday) is Dee and Jerry's
 5th Anniversary,  and they are having
 as good a time as possible on their 
anniversary trip, as she got sick with
 a virus or cold. Sounds like the same
 thing I had about 6 weeks or so ago. 
 At least they are getting a much needed
 rest after the last 45 days of stress and
work they have had with moving and

 the hurricane.

#3

for dinner out at Cracker Barrel

 and shopping for lil darling. 
 We did quite a bit of clothes shopping
 for her for Christmas.
 That is fun shopping for me, and
 really think hubby enjoyed it too...lol

#4
for a sweet surprise of Fall
flowers and a thank you card
from a neighbor up the street
that we helped after the
storm.


#5

that we got the carpeting and
padding all dried out in our walk
 in closet and put everything back
in place...as our bedroom was
a big mess,  so nice to have it
back to normal as well.  Took
about 2-3 days to make sure it
was completely dry.

#6
that we watched the Christian
Music Assoc. Dove awards for
the first time ever, it was really
quite good and very enjoyable.


#7
for a call from my cousin I haven't
been able to get in touch with for
awhile......great to talk with her,
and to know she is doing fine.

#8
that we heard from an old friend
(who is closer to our kids age than ours)
 and he is gonna be in town in a few weeks
and wants to come for a visit with us.  
So looking forward to catching up with
 him, as he has been through quite a lot
 since we saw him last.  


#9
that we are studying the book of Daniel 
in our class on Sunday. It is one of my 
favorite books in the old testament.

#10
for divinely inspired thoughts...........

I found out on monday morning at 
different times that both of the kids
 were flying into Dallas and Texas but 
because I was busy for some reason
I didn't connect the dots, that they
 were all flying into Texas.....
then in the afternoon I decided to
 layout to get some sun, and as I was 
having some time to relax, I thought
 I should email Megan to see if Scott
had gotten there yet, and when I did
she wrote back and said he was not
there yet, his plane had been delayed
and then I had the thought that... oh
my goodness they are both flying
into Texas and what if they were
both in the same airport at the same
 time, since I knew what time Dee
 and Jerry had left  from Costa Rica
and that they probably were at the air-
port right about this time, and thought
what a fun thing it would be for all of
them to run into each other.  So I wrote
Dee and told her to keep her eyes 
peeled for him just in case he might
be in the same aieport!!


Well, folks it really happened, she
 texted her brother and sure enough
 they were both at the same airport at
 the same time.  It was a short but
sweet visit only 15-20 mins., but
a nice surprise for them and it 
made my heart happy too!!


 
#11
that they all got home safe an
sound as well....and that Rosie
(their lil dog) did great on the return
 trip as well........Always nice to
know your loved ones are safe
after a flight these days especially.

#12
that with all the crazy going on 
this week,  I was able to get us
packed and ready to go to
Charleston to visit Dee and Jerry.

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

Well, there you have it.....
another week at Cozy Place!

Glad you could stop in......

Have a Great Monday!!

Love, Hugs and
Lovely Fall Blessings
Nellie
