Thankful Thursday August 28, 2025, Things with scallops

Pictures today are of things 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 have found other things that have scallops as well, that I just forgot about........so here they are!!

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.

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.

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.
