Thankful Thursday March 14, 2024, and pictures of Birthday table

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8  NIV

Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and enjoying late Winter..... knowing Spring is just  5 days away. It has seemed like Spring has already Sprung here, since it has been in the 80's already.  Hope you are having a good week, mine has been fairly good, I have just been really tired the last few days,  think it is from all the activity we have had since we got back from our trip. So yesterday I pretty much did nothing, but I did spend some time talking with our girl, which is always good for me.  

Pictures today are of our "Ode to leaves and trees Spring birthday table" for 3 family members. Since our house was still done in green, white  silver and gold for winter. It seemed sticking to green and white would work best. When I found these napkins, I wasn't that thrilled with them really, but they were the prettiest ones I could find, so felt like I was sort of settling, but once I got them home and started working with them, they became a very happy surprise after all.

This could also make a lovely St. Patricks day table with just a few tweaks.

 

So on with my Thankfuls................
 

#1

Thankful for a nice evening out to dinner for Hubbies birthday at Carrabbas, Just the 2 of us. Family celebration on Saturday.

#2

Thankful for a fun time making Banana Pudding for our birthday celebration on Saturday with lil darling. She worked right along side me, and did a great job, and it took all our restraint not to dig in, cause it did smell so good!!  

#3

Thankful that I also got the Beef Stroganoff done today as well, it will taste even better tomorrow as it flavors through. I will just need to make yellow rice, caesar salad and rolls, and we will be good to go!! and set the table, half way there on that too, and had planned that already ahead.

Thankful I did my hair today and didn't have to do it tonight after all the festivities. Cause knew I would be a tired girl.

#7

Thankful to be back at church today, and also to be able to go to lunch with our friends, as it has been awhile for one reason or another. We also got to meet their Son who is visiting from California. So that was a nice surprise since we have heard so much about him, very nice guy, much like his parents.

With the lights out!!

Thankful they moved hubbies Dr. appt. till Tuesday, which worked out so much better for us, since we home school lil darling on Mondays.

Thankful that I got all my Winter decorations down today, just got to get them put away now. Hoping the Spring things go up as quickly as the others came down.  lol

#11 and 12

Thankful hubby had his Dr. visit,

today, unfortunately, they didn't

drain it today, but they will remove

the cyst near the end of the month,

and gave him antibiotics to take

until then, to make sure it isn't 

infected when they do the surgery. 

Fortunately, it doesn't look infected

at all,  just leaking clear fluid,

that doesn't smell too good!!  lol

and Thankful for a nice early dinner at Cracker Barrel on the way home.

#13

Thankful for a nice and restful day and a long conversation with my girl

via facetime and the phone.  We lost face time after awhile for some reason, but that's okay.....that

doesn't stop us.  lol
