Thankful Thursday, February 27, 2026, and pics of Winter Cakes

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.  My heart leaps for Joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

Psalm 28:7

 Greetings Sweet Friends.

Oh My!  Can you believe this is almost  the last

day of February......Went by very quickly,  but have

to say the last few weeks have seemed more like 2 months

than 2 weeks, with all that has been going on here with

my Sil  Susan.

So....on with my Thankfuls

#1

Thankful that we had my Sister-in-law Susan

Evac'd  to the hospital on Friday, altho the news

is not good news, as she is in ICU in serious

condition.  She has Pneumonia, A-Fib, Edema,

and blood clots in her leg and lungs. It is shocking

to say the least......

#2

Thankful they have her heavily sedated because

they have to keep her still as they deal with all

the blood clots.  This was just on Saturday.

Update as of now:  Susan has been in good spirits and 

they said  she is getting better everyday which appears to be,

 but she is now even weaker than before, after being in ICU

 flat on her back for 5 days.  The pneumonia and the blood clots are gone,  ptl,  but the Dr. said the real problem is her

 heart and the A Fib,  so she will be going to the Cardiac 

unit today they think, and they said that A Fib can just

cause her to get more blood clots if they can't get that under

 control.  She also has some other issues that they have

 under control with meds.  This is way more serious

 than we could have ever imagined, and we just feel so

bad for her.

#3 and 4

Thankful for a lovely evening with our Son

and lil  darling..........She will be 13 yrs.old soon. 

 Can hardly believe it.  She is a beauty in every way.

and really getting that Volleyball practice down

to a science.  She did get hit in the face with the

Volleyball tonight,  Thankful it just hurt

but didn't do any damage. 

#5

Thankful that is was an easy dinner provided by

Outback..........and our Son picked it up on the

way here.  Perfect.

#6

Thankful that I got the sweetest and most precious

call from the person I wrote a letter to a few weeks

back. They have been dealing with a death in the

family, so I imagine that is why it took awhile,

but seemed so touched by my letter.  PTL.

Mission accomplished!

#7

Thankful that I finally gathered up many of lil

darlings favorite toys and books and finally got them

stored away in the cedar chest, so if one day she 

would like to have them for her kids.  We  haven't 

used them for a number of years so thought it was

time.........

#8

Thankful that not only does our church live stream

their services,  but many other churches do as well.

Which is such a blessing all the time,  but it has

really been a blessing during this season of testing

for me.  

#9

Thankful for a fun and sweet surprise this morning

when I looked out the window into our back yard.

Both our brown bunnies were out,  which is a very

rare event.  We are having another cold snap and

it's 40 degrees right now, and they were out munching

on our Jasmine for breakfast. lol

I walked away for a few minutes and came back

and they had vanished again, no telling when

we will see them again.

#10

Thankful that I have been in an organizing and decluttering

 mode, and was happy to see 3 boxes of giveaways go to

 Good Will yesterday.  Have started in a new spot as

of yesterday, and will see it through to completion soon

hopefully..........

#11

Thankful the Lord let me see a black cat that came in our

yard.  I just happened to look out in our backyard 

yesterday and there was the cat, and he was sitting under

 lil darlings swing with his back to our house, but intently 

looking into the woods, and I was wondering what he

 was looking at, and then all of a sudden he got up and

 started skulking towards the woods going around a tree

as if to hide himself,  and then I realized oh my gosh, 

that is close to the area where the bunnies were that morning, 

so I quickly ran out and loudly clapped my hands 

and scared him and he took off!  I know our kitty

Molly we used to have,  had gotten a few bunnies,

so think that is what he was up to...........

#12

Thankful for Emt's,  Drs., nurses, therapists and hospitals,

and all other medical personel that I didn't name.  You are

all amazingly helpful and efficient.

Hungry yet???  lol
