In God we make our boast all day long,
and we will praise your name forever.
Psalm 44:8 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hi, How ya doing?? Has it been a good week for you?? Hope so! Can't believe we are passed mid-August already......only 3 months until Thanksgiving!
Hard to believe that!!
Pictures today are things we saw in Paris, France about 50 years ago. We lived in Europe our 2nd year of marriage and we got to spend a weekend there. These are not my pictures altho we do have a lot that are similar, but they are, of course, not digital photos, so I happened to see these on Unsplash and they are pictures of the things that we did see, and it was such a fun blast from the past for me, and who doesn't love to see pictures from other countries...so thought you guys might just enjoy seeing them too. You probably will know most of them, so don't be offended if you do, some folks just might not know, so it is for them I labeled them.
So on with my Thankfuls..........
#1
Thankful that lil darlings first day of school went well,and she likes her new teachers. We also got to take her out to dinner and have a sleepover and then make her fav breakfast and do some of her homeschooling the next day.
The Arc of Triomphe - First thing you see when you enter Paris by car.
#2
Thankful that we got her one of the back packs on wheels (like how they make the suitcases) because we got a great deal, and it was really necessary as she has to bring so many books and things home with her from school, you can't believe how heavy her book bag was..... she looked more like a high schooler than a 3rd grader. lol It is good that she is strong..... cause I could hardly pick it up.
We also just read a news report today that said a lot of school kids wind up in the emergency room because of injuries caused by heavy bag packs. I can really believe that too! So we are doubly grateful after reading that!!
#3
Thankful my Son got home safe and sound from a work trip on Friday.
#4
Thankful that a design project that my daughter
and her friend just finished up turned out really
well, and their clients were very happy! They
were an older couple (like her parents.....)
and they had fun doing it as well.
#5
Thankful that a Dr. Appt. with a new Dr. went well for my SIL Susan, and that he didn't change anything.
The Sacre Coeur Basilica
#6
Thankful for the wonderful memories
of our trip to Paris when we were
only 20 and 24 yrs. old. It was
a trip we will never forget and one
we never ever imagined we would
ever get to do and see the things
we saw in geography or history
books. It was truly amazing to us
to see the Eiffel Tower and the
Arch of Triomphe
#7and 8
Thankful for a long chat with my
Daughter on the Ipad this Saturday
morning, as we haven't had a chance
to do that lately. Getting to see her as we
talk just adds so much more to the
conversation and helps to not miss
seeing her so much. Also Thankful for
what a wonderful invention facetime,
skype and all those sources are...
Inside the Louvre Museum - It is such
a huge and beautiful museum, So we
just looked for the famous paintings
and sculptures that we read were there,
like the Venus De Milo, The last Supper
and Monet' Paintings.
#9
Thankful for a good day at church and
a nice lunch out with some other friends
to celebrate the passing of his test for
his job. Think I mentioned his passing
the test in last weeks thankfuls.....so we
got to celebrate this week. lol
#10
Thankful that I got about 7 new cards
done this week.
Pont Alexander Bridge going acrossthe Seine River
#11
Thankful for our lovely Daughter, her birthday
was yesterday, and glad she had a good day.
She and hubby are going to their beach cottage
for a few days to celebrate and get a change
of scenery.
#12
Thankful that we got 2 big broken limbs taken off a tree in our back woods, and a bunch of small dead ones as well, and it looks so much better, and I was able to order some new hardware for our old dresser that we moved to the guest bedroom, it will hopefully give it a new more modern look and will match with our new night stands. We are still progressing in there, and we will get there eventually. lol
The Bastille Monument
