Thankful Thursday March 27, 2025, and pictures of Charleston SC

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

Ephesians 3:16 NIV

Spring Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are totally able to enjoy Spring where

 ever you live. We sure have been.....

We just got back from SC last night, and we had

sort of cool Spring weather, which was delightful,

probably the last of the cool weather we will see

here in Florida, as it is 82 here today.

Pictures today are of Charleston, South Carolina

compliments of Unsplash.  Gotta love rainbow row.

and a few of our own.....lol

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

#1

Thankful for a safe and uneventful trip to

 Charleston, SC  and back, to see our Daughter,

 Son-in-love and furry Grandson dog, Bentley.

So happy to be here........

#2

Thankful for another sunny beautiful day 

and sitting outside while catching up and

resting up from our trip up.  The day we

went there it was a sunny and beautiful

azure blue sky with no clouds anywhere,

all the way from Florida to South Carolina.

We couldn't believe it....cause it was right

after all those storms.

#3

Thankful for a really yummy dinner at a place called

"Page's "Okra Grill" in Mount Pleasant, SC

My meal was  grilled Maui, fried Okra,

 mac n' cheese and hushpuppies. and we split a piece of 

Peanut butter pie.  Every bite was totally delicious. 

 We want to go again before we go home.

Note: We did go again for my birthday dinner

and we got take out for Sunday Brunch, 

 All wonderful!  Could not say enough about

this restaurant.  Service was excellent as well,

and they had this big adirondack chair which

reminded us to take a few pictures.  If we

look a lil rough it's cause we were tired and

hungry after traveling all day.  lol

Me and Hubby

Dee and Hubby Jerry - there were 2 pics

and unfortunately he had his eyes closed 

in both, and we got called to our table,

 so that was that.  He's cute anyway.

Me and Dee - We wanted to get in the

chair but I was afraid I might not be

able to get out!!  lol

#4

Thankful for brownie Sundae's made with

 a clean brownie mix called "Simple Mills" 

Almond flour baking mix.  We are all trying

 to eat with more wholesome ingredients,

 and every time we find something new

we all get excited.  lol

Oh, and the brownies were delicious with

 vanilla frozen yogurt.

#5

Thankful for a new HGTV "Home Town show" 

with Ben and Erin Napier, where they are

working to restore a city here in Florida that

has sort of died because they built a major 

highway around it, which just caused the

downtown area to die.  It is in "Sebring

Florida".  Really enjoying the series so far.

Course, we love anything Ben and Erin do!! 

#6

Thankful for our Daughters ham and scallion

 quiche and strawberry and cream cheese

 coffee cake.  Our favorites that she makes us

 every time we come.

#7

Thankful for yogurt bowls my Daughter has

 been making us. They are delicious and a great 

healthy breakfast.  Think they will become a

staple at our house now too.

#8

Thankful that we are getting to celebrate our

 birthdays with our Daughter and hubby.

  Hubbies has passed and mine is coming next

 week, but I will be home by then.  

#9

Thankful for a fun day out shopping.  We went

 to a clothing store we had never been to,

called "Versona".  I have never even heard of it, 

 but it was such a fun store. Lots of brightly

 colored clothing, and the cutest hats, (like those

 Princess Kate and the English people wear, some

were a lil bigger)  but they were adorable,  Dee 

thought they might be for the Ky. derby, because

 a lot of people in Charleston have Derby parties.

They could be for Easter too!

They also had shoes and jewelry.  There prices

 were pretty reasonable too, so I got a pretty

 solid lime green colored linen blouse for my

birthday which should be great for spring

 and summer. The store was just a visual

 delight, and once I was home I was sorry 

I didn't think to take a few picture to show

 yall, especially of those hats.............lol

# 10 and 11

Thankful for long talks, sitting outside in the sun

(my legs are more tanned now)  and the shade,

when the sun got too hot, game playing, cooking

 (for us girls)  Watching HGTV's  "Home Town" 

as they fix up Seabring, Florida, and dry bar 

comedy (that made my sides hurt, we were 

laughing so hard) and March Madness

 (for the guys) and riding around in a beautiful

neighborhood, that is just so southern looking,

and  just the sheer fun and delight of being

 together.

#12

Just so thankful we got to go visit them for a week. 

 It was the perfect birthday gift for me, as I will be

 Turning 73 in a few more days. So thankful we

can still do that.  The whole week was just lovely

and couldn't have been any better.....We had the

best weather, most all were sunny and clear blue

skies, with temps 70 degrees are less, 

The Lord just really blessed our week together!

and as much as we love going there (our home

away from home) we love coming home too!!

Always nice to sleep in your own bed....even

tho the other bed is comfy too!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Well,  that's it for this week.........

This is theVacation and  Birthday Edition.

Thanks for your visit

and

Have a lovely Weekend

Love, Hugs and 

Last of March blessings,

Nellie
