Thankful Thursday August 28, 2025, and Things with scallops at our house


Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
Psalm 100:4 NIV


Happy Thursday Sweet Friends,

How are you today??
Hope you are doing well.....
Been a good week here so far. We were
very happy to see that those storms
out in the Atlantic are gone!! 
 We are praying for a continued quiet 
Hurricane Season.  Wouldn't that be
wonderful..........


Pictures today are of things  in my house
with scallops.  I keep seeing things online or
 in the stores that have scallops and I just 
think they are so cute, so found a few things 
to add to my decor and  as I have looked 
around in my house I was very surprised
that I had a number of other things that
 have scallops as well, that I just had
completely forgotten about.....
Out of sight... out of mind!!
If you are crushing on scallops as well.
Maybe you might discover you have 
some out of sight - out of mind things
too, that are stashed away!!
and find a new way to hightlight
them in your decorating.



This one is new, aren't the lil bees
cute too!  This is a gift from my Son
that I picked out.



On with my Thankfuls.....



#1

It is with a sad, but Thankful heart that I feel so blessed to have known and been inspired and taught via videos and books 

a Wonderful Christian Man named

James Dobson @ Focus on the Family Ministries.

He passed away today, and will be sorely missed by any and everyone who knew him.  His ministry was incredibly helpful to us as a young married couple and also for our continued growth in the Lord.

He has gotten his promotion to heaven and is with his Lord.

Praying for his family and friends.



#2

Thankful we got to pick lil darling up from school 

 and take her to Volley ball practice.  This is a new

 thing for her, and she seems to be enjoying it,

some of her friends are involved as well, which 

is good.  Also for dinner out with she and

 her Dad (our Son).




#3

Thankful for another good school day,

and another one on Monday.


#4

Thankful for a delicious pasta salad recipe 

that is perfect for a crowd. I learned it

from my friend, Arlene who passed away

 from Ovarian cancer about 4 -5yrs ago. 

 Sure do miss her, she was such a good friend,

so positive, encouraging and unplifting.

Gonna make the salad for a church dinner 

on Sunday. I will say, it is a bit expensive

 to make, had forgotten about that, but if

 you'd like to give it a try.

Had this bowl a long time too.


#5

Thankful for food in my fridge and pantry,

and for foods made with good oils.


#6

Thankful for another great Sunday

at church.  This week, after service,

 we had a going away dinner for a young

 couple whoare moving to Indonesia soon as 

Missionaries.  Daniel and Karis are

just the sweetest couple and they will

 surely be missed in our congregation.



Had this platter a long time.


 

#7

Thankful that they had such a good

send off,  and have and were definitely

bathed in prayer many times.


#8

Thankful for a fun sleepover with lil

darling, as it's been awhile.  We went

out to dinner, got frozen yogurt and

played some "Sorry" and "Skipbo"

and watched an animal program, and

got up to a new day and had breakfast

 and another good school day.



Have had these plates awhile, a git
from my Daughter


#9

Thankful that I have taken down all our

 Spring /Summer Decor to get ready for our

Fall stuff..............Love doing this!!  So

ready for a change of scenery. 


#10

Thankful for a good report at the Dentist.

I do have to have a filling but down the road,

but not a big deal.


Have had these plates for a long

time too.  If you have been following

me long,  you have seen these on

lots of tables...............lol

This Fall you will see them on

plates stand.





#11

Thankful for my Dentist and all those

who work with her,  they are the best.

All of them are so kind and considerate

and personable and helpful, and not

to say professional.  I never feel anxious

about going there.


#12

Thankful for a fun time out yesterday,

we went checking at a few places to

check out bathroom vanities, as we

are in need of one, but didn't find any

thing really, but did run into a guy that

works at Home Depot who does kitchens

but can maybe do our bathroom too.  

Which was great as we have no idea

who to use.....we do have the name of

someone else, but not sure he does the

whole process,  he just builds cabinets.

We have done just about anything that

needs to be done in our home all these

years, so sometimes we don't have a

clue who to call, cause we want some

one we know will do a good job, and that

is not always easy to find.  So praying

about the fellow at Home Depot,  he

was really nice.  So hoping the Lord

was the one to put this fellow in our

path..............



This is new too, an accidental find

and it was 40% off.  Gonna enjoy 

pressing these new pieces and

the old ones into my Fall Decorating.

Love, Hugs and

Last of August Blessings,

Nellie
