Thankful Thursday July 18, 2024, and Summer Golf Cart rides in Charleston neighborhood. #1

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Colossians 3:16 NIV

Summer Greetings Sweet Friends,

How are you today??  Hope you are having 

a bright and sunny day............

Once we got settled in we haven't done a

whole lot accept watch the RNC at night.

It's really been enjoyable and encouraging.

Looking forward to seeing Pres. Trump

speak tonight.......as we have heard he

torn up his old speech and wrote a whole

new one.........interesting!!

Pictures today are scenes from our Golf Cart

 ride in our Daughter and Son-in-loves

 neighborhood in Charleston S. Carolina a few

 weeks ago.  I love seeing how houses in

 other states look.............

On with my Thankfuls..............

#1

Thankful to be sleeping back in my own bed,  even tho. I slept very comfortably at my Daughters.  Just something about your own bed.   lol

#2

Thankful that we are all unpacked and everything put away, and that we have fresh food in the house again. 

 

#3

Thankful that are lawn and plants all looked

great since we had a lot of rain at home while

 we were gone

#4

Thankful that our Daughter put us on to Aldi grocery store and the $ savings.  Our's is not real close to us, so we did an instacart shopping venture, and it turned out great.  Their prices are really good, I have to say, and our shopper did a great job.  

#5

Thankful for a good day with lil darling. We hadn't seen her in a couple of weeks, so always great to be with her.

#6

Thankful hubby was able to get the lawn mowed as it was pretty long after being gone and it has been raining, and is supposed to rain again this afternoon. 

 Looks mucho better now!!

#7

Thankful President Trump is okay, after the attempt on his life on Saturday. Talk about a miracle, it is truly a miracle he is alive, as it was such a close shot.

 Feeling awful about the other man that was killed and others that were injured. Praying for the healing of Pres. Trump and all of the victims and their families, and for everyone that was there, as I am sure it was terrifying and traumatic to say the least, and is gonna take some time to recover from.

It was good to see President Trump at the RNC all week.  He is a courageous man!

#8

Thankful for all those secret service people who reacted so quickly and did their very best to defend and take care of Pres. Trump. They did an awesome job, and it was very heart warming to see what they did.

#9

Thankful for a good day at church, and a good sermon by our Senior Pastor, that is in the midst of retiring. Loved how he closed our service this morning....with 3 mins. of silence. He said, and I heartily agree, that people are always so busy no one takes time to sit in silence anymore, to our own detriment.

#10 

Thankful to get to go to lunch with our lunch buddies,  we have been missing our lunches lately due to one of the other of our schedules. 

So it was great to be together today.

#11

Thankful for a nice long Sunday nap, while it

 rained outside. It's been a few weeks since

 I've had one.  So refreshing.

#12

Thankful for a new recipe I made last

 night,that our Daughter had made for us

 whenwe were there the end of February. 

 It's a one pot pasta dish, and delicious

 andeasy to make.  Think the recipe is

 for about 6 people.  It is a recipe from a blog

 called "What's Mama cooking". Here is a link to it or go to her blog and look in her

recipes for "Creamy Rigatoni with

Boursin Cheese.

You won't be sorry!!  lol

As you can see the houses are all

 different sizes and shapes which makes it

 such a quaint, and charming older

 neighborhood, no cookie cutter

 anything.  That's why there is so much

 renovating and new builds; some older

 homes are being either reno'd or torn down

 an new ones built.  Most of these were new

 homes or homes I just didn't remember

 from before.

#13

Thankful for some sweet Wedding pics

that we rec'd via text.....of the Son of a

 Vietnamese young man we met over 30 

yrs. ago, that worked with my hubby,

and who became like family. We went

 to his wedding years ago, and now his

 Son just got married in a small wedding

 in Nebraska.  His Son and his bride

are both both Officers in the Navy

and went to the Naval academy.

The ship his Son was commissioned

on was the USS Militus, that was named

after a POW/MiA from the Viet Nam

war. I couldn't get over how fitting

that was, and if you knew his Dads

story, you would be amazed at his

legacy.....

He also has a Daughter who is 

joining the Air Force and is gonna

be on a swim team for them.

They are all believers in Jesus.

So proud of them....
