Thankful Thursday February 2, 2017, Winter Vignettes from 2017

 “As long as the earth endures,

 seedtime and harvest,

 cold and heat, summer and winter,

 day and night will never cease.”

Gen. 8:22 NIV

Welcome to February

Sweet Friends,

Can you believe we are already

one month passed the New Year?

Wow!  I can hardly believe it.

Not a lot going on here this 

week, accept cooking, hubby

 being home all week sick with

 a cold, having lil darling on Wed.,

 and lots of crazy stuff going on with

 my late Mother's home. My Aunt

 had been living in it, for almost the

 last 12 yrs, but she can no longer

 live there, as she has developed 

dementia, so the house has been 

empty since mid-November, and

 I am a co-owner with her, so we 

are in process of trying to find

out what to do in order to sell

 it......and this week a paper mill

 near them had an explosion and

Mom's house and neighborhood

were the most affected, so the

Paper Co. is having to clean up

 the neighborhood, so there were

phone calls and consent forms

to sign and email.....

Then I found out there is a cat

in the house that is terrified of

people other than my Aunt and

the neighbors have been taking

care of her and 6 other cats.

So it has been an interesting

week I have to say!!   lol

Thought I would just add some

more of my Winter Vignettes

for the fun of it.......

and let the post speak for itself.

I am thankful

#1

that our neighbor who had the
motorcycle accident was in
good enough shape to get the
surgery on his shoulder and
is now out of the hospital.
Seems to be recovering well
at this point....

#2
for a great recipe I found on
Lois's blog for French Onion
Soup.  It is absolutely delish
and very easy to make as well,
my kind of recipe!!  lol

It is at Walking on Sunshine
recipes blog.

#3 and #4
that we found we could play
Pandora on our tv, and for the
beautiful instrumental music
of Kenni G, Yanni and John
Tesh.  They play such
 Soothing and lovely music.


#5
that our new church campus
has added to their number every
week now.  They are up to 94
people already........so there are
over twice as many people as
they started with.....great to hear.

#6

for a heartwarming story I read 

about a dog (a golden retriever) 

 keeping his owner alive and alert

 for 20 hrs. after the man fell on

the ice and broke his neck. The
man has recovered from his
paralysis for the most part and
is in theraphy to regain his 
strength and such.

What a precious dog......

story if you'd like.


#7
tht we found a new series to
watch onTV.  It was on the PBS 
station.  It is called"Victoria" like
 in queen Victoria. We have seen
3 espisodes so far, and they were
 great.  We think we are really 
gonna enjoy it.

#8
for a totally unexpected call
that took care of 2 problems
that were a concern about my
late Mother's home.  God is
just so amazing..........

#9
that my son has an opportunity
to go to Holland with his job.
They will be taking classes and
 touring green houses, and that 
is green houses like they grow
plants in, my first thought was
envirionmental friendly type
homes....lol....then I realized he
is in the Agricultural field, he
means real green houses.  lol
I am sure it will be quite an in-
teresting trip, as I would think that
 fun as well.....
Hope he gets to see some Tulips,
 course, it is the dead of Winter
 there, but at least he might get
 to see some growing in green
houses, which is better than
nothing...........lol

#10
for a bush full of buds on my
white azalea bush... when the 
rest of the yard looks like the 
dead of Winter. 
 Poor thing is confused and
 thinks it is Spring, and I was
concerned the cold snap might
make them lose their buds or
just maybe never bloom.  So
far, buds are still there and a
few have opened so I am 
hopeful......it looks like a huge
popcorn ball when it blooms
and is Gorgeous!

#11
for what sounds like a super
great choice for our next
Supreme court Justice.


#12
for these new Peanut Butter
(healthy) energy bites my
 daughter gave me the recipe
 for....they are great....love
them with coffee first thing
 in the morning and they can
also be a sweet treat as well.
