Thankful Thursday, August 22, 2024, and Pics that remind us of summer

 

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;

 his greatness no one can fathom.

Psalm 145:3 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds yall settling back into your new

school routine if you have kiddles still in school.

or hopeful that Fall might just be around the

corner for you. Been a great week here in spite

 of a few inconveniences. Come on......I will tell you

about it in my Thankful post.

Pictures today are to remind us that Summer is coming 

to a close soon. Sooner for some of you than for us here

 in Florida. It will be a few months yet for us, but

I will be decorating for Fall soon anyway.....

We sort of have to fake ourselves out, inside at

least!!  lol

Now on with my Thankfuls...............

#1

Thankful for a great first Day of homeschool with lil darling. She did a great job on everything and worked reallly hard. It was a stressful week for her too, as she started 6th grade and actually goes to school 2 days a week, so there were a lot of changes this year, as it is with

 most children entering 6th grade.

#2

Thankful hubby is continuing to do well,  4 days down 3 to go for resting and no bending over. Caught him bending over a few times today........so hard to remember when you are feeling great!

Note:  It has been over his 7 days rest period, so he

is back to normal other than still putting some drops

in his eyes, and that he can't lift anything heavy for

another 3 weeks.

#3

Thankful our Beauty Berries are starting to turn

purple.  I enjoy them so much every year cause

they are just the most beautiful shade of purple.

#4

Thankful for getting to see 6 lil young Squirrels have 

a ball in our backyard, chasing each other, run and jumping like rabbits, and running up and down trees and through bushes.  So adorable,  and they came out of no where,

I was just wondering yesterday where have all our

 Squirrels gone, and thought it might be because it's too hot out, cause someone told me that about the birds, cause haven't seen many of them for a while either.

So it was an unexpected treat, as we love the

wild life here.......saw a black snake too! Yikes

#5

Thankful to be able to be at church this week.

Loved the message by one of our younger

pastors about the Lord's blessings to us all.

Very Good.........and so true.

#6

Thankful the Lord let us go to church, go to

lunch and then run to the store only to come

home and our car would not go into park,

only reverse, so we backed out of the garage

and then did the emergency break, and turned

the car off and it would not start again.

So we could have had this problem at anyone

 of those places in the blazing heat outside,

so we are so thankful if it had to happen, it

happened just as it did...........

#7

Thankful we got our van safely towed to the dealership

 we use to be repaired, and thankful our emergency

car Insurance paid 3/4 of the charge. So that was

really nice.

#8

Thankful our Daughter got in safe and sound

this afternoon from S. Carolina, and we have had 

a great time catching up.

#9

Thankful anytime our Daughter gets to come visit us,

but it worked out that our Daughter just happened

 to be coming this week. (since our Van needed to

be repaired, so we didn't have to pay for a rental 

car, as hubby had a Dr. check up for his eye again,

 and we had to drive 20 miles to get the repaired Van. 

So we were able to use her car. Such a blessing!

#10

Thankful to get our Van back from the shop, and

 thankful for God's provision, as it cost was way

more than we anticipated.

#11

Thankful for the good time we have had with Dee, 

and that we all got to go shopping and out to dinner

to celebrate her birthday.  Always great to have her

 here even if it's for just a few days, but we all

sure hate to see her go...........lol

#12

Thankful for a good school day with lil darling,

as I know it was hard to stay focused and get her

work done with her Aunt Dina here, cause she  

absolutely adores Aunt Dina, but she did get some

time with her, for a few hours before schooling

started which was good and a few breaks.

But was proud of her for being able to stay

on task.   

That's All for cozy Place this week!!

Have a great last week of August.

Thanks for your visit.

Love, Hugs and Last of August

Blessings,  Nellie
