Thankful Thursday, April 27, 2023, and Easter/Spring decor in the Foyer and Livingroom

For great is the LORD and most worthy

 of praise; he is to be feared 

above all gods.

1 Chronicles 16:25 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this week has been a blessing

to you and yours.

Ours has been mostly a blessing 

to us, even tho, we hear bad news

at times, which keeps us praying,

 If it wasn't for the Lord, His word, 

and prayers going up, I am sure we 

would all be in the pit of depression!

Pictures today are of Spring/Easter 

decorating in our foyer and living room. 

 This picture below is the first thing 

you see when you come in our door.

The wreath in the header picture

 hangs in there too.

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful for finding some chairs, finally, that I wantedto go with our new sofa we got back in early December. I wanted something a lil different and cute and not too wide, so as not to look so traditional and had been looking online for awhile now, but I was also concerned about

 them being comfortable, and if you buy online, of course,you can't try them out either, so was perplexed and just figured I would keep checking around. Once again, we just happened on them at our new Bealls centric store.  Haven't been there for months but we just went there really for something to do and thought we would just check and see if they had any thing we might like.  Looked at all the chairs in the furniture dept, and saw nothing that would work for us, so decided to walk to the back of the store and look at the other home decor things, and as we rounded the corner there was 2 wicker rockers with a lil round table all for less than the one chair I saw online. We were amazed, no only are they so cute they were very comfortable, and came with chair cushions, they are sturdy as well.  So they

came home with us last Thursday evening. Think we are gonna use the table as a stool,  just need to

get a round pillow to top it with.  The Lord

never ceases to amaze us....

#2

Thankful that we also met a lovely hispanic

couple while we were there, and had quite

a fun time talking with them.  We had a lot

in common with them altho they are about

30 yrs. younger than us. We always enjoy

talking with people when we are out.

#3

Thankful for laughter. Little darling and I were

 reading in one of her childrens books for school,

think it's called "The Moffats"  Anyway, this lil

girl had a doll with a certain name.....It's not a bad name..... it is just a very unusually funny

 name for a doll.... and it just tickled our funny bone, so now every time we hear it, 

we bust out laughing. 

#4

Thankful that I got my linen pants hemmed

that I got for my birthday.  Now I can finally

where them, cause they were very long.  lol

Note:  I wore them to church today and felt

so comfortable and good in them.  Got a few

compliments as well, and it was just so nice

to have a new outfit, as it has been quite

some time, years really, as I just have a hard 

time finding things I like and also that are

 not made of polyester fabric, as it is just

 way too hot for this girl, who has her own

personal Summers!!  lol

#5

Thankful that My Daughter and Son-in-love had

 an opening at their beach house this weekend, 

which rarely happens, (as it is a rental property), 

 so it was nice they could go their and relax 

and enjoy themselves and get a change in scenery 

as they have had a rough couples of weeks with

 their doggie. His digestive problems seem to be

 better and he seems to be back to normal as

far as the digestive issues go, but they still 

don't know anything for sure yet, 

about another serious issue the Vet found.

#6

Thankful for a good day at church, and then for

 having lunch after with our friends we haven't been able to go with for a couple of months now due to both our schedules.  It was great to finally be able to catch up with them. 

#7

Thankful we went to Cracker Barrel, as we hadn't

been there for months either, so the food was great

as always, and we had a lot of fun looking around

in the gift shop before and after.  They always 

have the cutest things.  Such a fun and

 reasonably priced store!!

#8

Thankful that my daughter went for a 2nd opinion

about their beloved doggie, and she got much more

hopeful news today.  They are gonna recheck him

in 4-6 weeks.  Which was their original plan but

one vet thought they should do it sooner, and the

Vet that did the 2nd opinion did an ultra sound

for free and the nodule has not grown at all, and

is much smaller than they were told as well.

#9 and 10

Thankful for God's word, the Bible, which

is His love letter to us and teaches us how

He wants us to live and more.  Also, thankful

we still have the freedom to own a Bible 

and read it anytime we want......

#11

Thankful that I got started in my closet

today, a project I have been wanting

to work on for awhile. Which includes

trying on clothes to see what works

with what, and what doesn't fit any

more and what does.  lol  Planning

to just do a lil bit everyday since it

is a large project......Getting started

is always the hardest part for me.

#12

Thankful to see lil darling for a few

hours and to visit crumbl cookie for

a treat today, since it will be our

 last day to pick her up from school 

for the year.  She gets out in 2 wks.

So summer vacation begins............yahoo.

Isn't this the cutest pillow,  it was a

 birthday gift from my Daughter this 

year.  I just love it.  Then flip it over

and you can just have it all white.

Really liked that feature too.

Well,  That's all for this week!!

Thanks for visiting

and

Have a Beautiful rest of the week,

Love, Hugs and 

End of April Blessings,

Nellie
