Thankful Thursday June 19th. 2025 and This years Patriotic Father's Day Table


Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.     Philippians 4:6-7 NIV



Thursday Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are having a good week,

 and that all your Dads had a great

Father's Day. Our's seemed to....

Looking forward to our Daughter

and family coming in later this week.




Pictures today are from our Father's Day

 table 2025 I usually try to do a theme that

 fits both of them, and was trying to figure

 out a theme I had not done yet, and since I

 saw it was flag day, I thought, great I will do

 a patriotic theme since both our Dads are

 Patriotic and already had everything I

 needed to do it as well.

  Perfect!









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



#1

Thankful that my friend who's Daughter and

 family are moving to California, made it

 there safe and sound. This was not your

 typical get to the airport and jump on a

 plane and go....NO.... My friend and her

 Daughter traveled with a 4 and a half yr.

 old, an almost 2 yr. old and an almost 2

 month old baby. It took 2 cars just to get

 to the airport with all 3 children having

 to be in car seats and with luggage and a

 pack andplay, which all had to go on the

 plane as well, and it was a 5 hr. flight.  Her

 Son-in-love drove 3 days by himself......12 hrs.

 a day, and arrived there on Wednesday, so

 he could have their base housing secured in

 time for their arrival. Many of us have

 prayed for this trip, as there was a lot to

 be concerned about to say the least, but

 the Lord has answered prayer after

 prayer. He truly showed himself to be

 with them every step of the way on

this air flight.


Note:  Please pray their furniture and

 personal things will get there before they

 told them which is not until June 23rd, so

 they have been living in their house without

 anything but clothing pretty much. So it has

 been a longgg week I am sure!!





#2

Thankful to have been a part of their

 journey and to know the Lord answered

 so many prayers on their behalf,  just

 makes me weep with gratitude knowing

 what a loving God we serve, and how 

much He loves us.


#3

Thankful that gifts are wrapped and dinner

planned and shopping done for Father's Day

dinner.  Working on the table today, and will

make Beef Stroganoff tomorrow for 

Sunday, as it is best the day after.


#4

Thankful for a lovely visit with our new

neighbor Sat. morning.  We had invited them

over last week, and her hubby was sick,

so they couldn't come, so she text and ask

 if she could bring us some banana bread

This morning, and we had a lovely visit.

she is our Daughters age, and such a 

sweet young lady.




#5 and 6

Thankful for being able to attend lil darlings

dance recital tonight. It was quite good, and

she did a really great job and we can see

 how she has really grown in confidence.

Then we went out to dinner with she and

our Son.  A very pleasant evening, I have 

to say.  Also we have been wanting to

try our Sonny's Barbecue place for 

awhile now, cause we had gotten where

we didn't like it for a long time,  but they

have redone it, so our Son suggested going

 there, so very Thankful we really enjoyed it.


#7

Thankful for a nice restful and peaceful

Father's day.  We watched our Sunday

Service from home for a number of 

reasons, and then our Son and lil darling

came in the afternoon to celebrate.

So we had a nice dinner, visit, and UNO

card games. Both Dads were happy

with their dinner, cards and gifts

and the fun time! 

So Mission accomplished!!!  lol




#8

Thankful to sleep in this Monday morning 

as Iwas exhausted as it had been a busy

end of the week.  


#9

Thankful and excited that we will get

to see our Daughter and Son-in-love

for a few days again this week which

is very unusual.....




#10

Thankful for Cuban food, which we had 

for dinnera number of nights.  Black beans

 yellow rice, and a meat dish called Picadillo.

 Learned to make this in our first year of

 marriagetaught by a Cuban friend and

 work mate.

and rice.  Also another Cuban dish

called Ropa Veija, all on same post.


#11

Thankful that our Daughter, Son-in-love and 

furry grandson dog got in safe and sound

from S Carolina.




#12

Thankful we had a good time with them

as always.  We all tried to go out to dinner

last night, but unfortunately, we went to

Target to meet our Son, and I had been

 having a headache but was better, but all

 of a sudden I started to get whoozy

 headed and weak and my equilibrium was

 off and could not walk very straight, so

 had thinking it might be blood sugar, they

got me a snicker bar to eat, but it didn't

 help, so we all had to come home and we

 ordered take out.

 I am sure they were all disappointed, 

as I was, but they all had a great attitude,

 and took good care of me.  So thankful

 for my sweet family and that Dee and

 family got to visit again so soon, and

 thankful that I am feeling better today.

  So don't know if it was just a sinus issue

electrolytes or what it was, but happy

 to be feeling better today. Kids are on 

their way to see her hubbies parents for

his Mom's birthday and to visit with the

whole family.
