Blissful white Wednesday - White livingroom dressed for Fall, Part 1

Afternoon Sweet Friends,

Hope this find you well and happy!

 I am happy, but not so well..................lol

Threw my back out while I was sleeping night before

last...........go figure on how that happened!! 

 So I am sitting carefully, if only I didn't have to sit 

or lie down it would be great!  lol

Today I am participating in a new Meme called

"Blissful Whites Wednesday"

Today is the very first day so make sure you

go over and check it out,  by Clicking Here!

and encourage Becky in her new

adventure................

It is happily taken on by Becky from over at

Timewashed, with the blessings of Kathleen

from Faded Charm who used to do a Meme

called "White Wednesday", and if you have

been in blogland very long I am sure you

are very familiar with it., and what a lovely

Meme it was....................So we thank you,

 Kathleen for all the fun and beauty you 

brought us, and give you our best wishes.

These first pics are of my foyer area!

Posterized affect!

This is what you see first upon entering my

home...................

Left this in so you could see that if you go to the

right,  it leads to my family room,  go left and

you are in my white livingroom, and behind it

is my dining area.

As you enter my home, if you look to the right,  you will

see a newly redone wall.  It is actually green,  looks almost

white here.  lol

As you enter the white livingroom,  this is the
first table you would encounter,  as you can
see I have dressed it up a lil for Fall.

Notice any changes???

check out the top of the cloche!!

That would be the starfish dishes.

Posterized affect

Told you I would have to find a way to incorporate them
into my Fall decorating!  lol

Fit perfectly in the hole on top of my cloche.

Posterized affect!

Next you would see the my cedar chest
coffee table.

This is at the other end of the coffee table!

I am gonna stop here for today and will show you 
the rest next week,  and maybe the week after, just
 depends on how many pics there are!! lol

So stay tuned for Part 2.


Thanks for stoppin' in................

Hope you have a Wonderful 
Wednesday,

Hugs and Blessings,

Ad by Billy Graham

Morning Sweet Folks,

How in the world are you??

Doing well, I hope!

I am doing well today myself,

and just had to share some-

thing because I think it is just

so important.  On Sunday our

newspaper carried a full page

ad by Billy Graham.  Since he

has been the most revered and

respected spiritual advisor this

country has had for many, many

long years, and a man that has 

lived an excemplary life, and is

 almost 94 years old, and I have
 to say I have never seen him do

 this before, which says to me he
knows just how important this
 election really is.......

So don't know how many of these
ads they were able to put out, or
if any of you have or have not 
seen them but just felt very led 
to post the message that his ad 
gave, as I highly respect him and
I think many many of you do as
well.

I was wishing I could just shrink
the ad and post it, but since I
couldn't, thought the next best 
thing was to just write out 
his message.


From Rev. Billy Graham:

The legacy we leave behind for
our children, grandchildren, and
this great nation is crucial.  As I
approach my 94th birthday, I realize
 this election could be my last.
I believe it is vitally important that
we cast our ballots for candidates
who base their decisions on biblical
principles and support the nation
of Israel. I urge you to vote for those
who protect the sanctity of life and
support the biblical definition of
marriage between a man and a 
woman. Vote for biblical values this
November 6, and pray with me that
America will remain one nation
under God.

Billy Graham
Montreat, N.C.


Personally, I was very happy to
see this ad, as I believe our
country is headed down the
wrong road spiritually and that
we are seeing that decline on
a daily basis.

I typically, keep things on the
light side as I know there is so
much bad news out there, but
even tho it is on a serious note,
thought this was really good 
news, so just had to share it 
with you sweet friends.

May God continue to Bless
the United States of America,
and He only will if we are going
 in the right spiritual direction.

Love, Hugs and Blessings,
Nellie

Everyone needs to see this! Touching wordless story

Morning Sweet Friends,

Happy Monday to You,
Hope you had a swell weekend.

Mine was swell...., watched a movie,
called "Family that preys" twice, because
the dvd kept skipping, so we found out
how to clean it with pledge, so we got
to see all of the movie the 2nd time or
at least we think so..........lol

It was a really good Tyler Perry movie,
his movies always leave you thinking!!

Went to the baby shower of a dear friends 
daughter, worked in the yard some, and 
 today was church,then Dee and Jerry came 
over for an easy din din....................
So it was a full and fun weekend.

Only disappointment was that the kids
 brought their camera so we could see
 their pics from Hawaii,  and all of a 
sudden the camera wouldn't work, so
 hopefully, we can see them next time.

A friend sent this wordless story 
to me last Friday, and it was so touching
 and amazing I just knew everyone that 
could, needs to see it.  A Wordless yet,
sad but absolutely beautiful story........
Precious!  Be sure to go all the way
to the bottom.....well, worth your time.

For those who don’t recognize the badge above his ribbons, he is Navy EOD.

 Which stand for Navy Explosive Ordinance Disposal.

Amazing Story, huh! Are your eyes dry?? I didn't think so........................  Thanks for your visit,  come again soon.  Always fun to hear from you. Hugs and True Love Blessings to you! Nellie

Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 18, 2012

Hello Sweet Peas,

So.............How are you??

Have you wondered where I am??

I hope so........lol

We have been at Dee and Jerry's house since late 

Sunday afternoon,  and just returned last evening.

  Since they were away in Hawaii,  I told you we

might stay a night down there, but it actually 

worked out that we could stay till Wednesday.

It was a fun and exciting weekend I have to say, 

So I will tell you about it in my thankful list.

#1

I am thankful

to finally know what our grandchild is gonna

be, course, we didn't care if it was a boy or girl, 

 just want it to be healthy and happy.  

But see for yourself what it is................

 Here are the proud parents about to cut the cake

and find out the news..................

Cutting the cake in sweet anticipation!!

For some reason a lot of our pics were blurry,

sure hope someone else got better shots.

Cutting deeper..........................

Gonna be a Baby Girl,  and our new

Grandaughter,  can you tell I am excited!

#2

I am thankful

that they did it this way,  as it was a lot of

 fun anticipating and also wonderful to get

to see their faces when they found out.

It was a really precious time and so great that 

they shared it with the whole family like that! 

 Megan is very thoughtful person........and

 so was Scott to go along with it!!  lol

#3

I am thankful

that while we were at the party we got to

see a friend of Scott's, who is like a 2nd son 

to us,  as he used to be here a lot as a young 

boy and teenager, and we hadn't seen him in 

quite a long while.  He always encourages us

 by things he remembers that we have said to

 him over the years.  It always shocks us, but

in a very good way......So touching that we 

had so much of an influence on him. 

Really Blesses our hearts!

#4

I am thankful

for how patient and loving Scott is with

children.  He played with his friends kids

a lil boy that is 8 and a lil girl that is almost

4 most of the time.  They adore him,  and

he them!  He is gonna make a great DAD!

Not biased or anything!!  lol

#5

I am thankful

that they were able to video tape the

event and send it over to Dee and Jerry

in Hawaii,  so they could see the whole

thing since she couldn't be here.

Amazing what you can do today!!

Pic from Dee and Jerry's patio with a posterized affect. 

#6

I am thankful

we were able to go stay at Dee and Jerry's

and that hubby was able to take a half day off

 on Monday, on short notice.  He was also able

to work there on Wed. since they have wifi,

and he is closer to work, so not a long drive

for him on Tuesday either.  So that was nice.

#7

I am thankful

we got to go in the pool even tho it wasn't for

too long.........as it was partially cloudy and the

pool was cold,  but we did get a lil time in there

with the sun shining,  so it was nice!

#8

I am thankful

that we got take out the whole time,  so no

cooking,  other than just making toast or re-

heating something.  So it was like a 3 day

vacation for us, just a nice change of pace

and scenery.  Dee is very thoughtful like

that, and so is Jerry for going along with

it...........

Is there an echo in here!!  lol

#9

I am thankful

that I got to go out walking in their lovely

older neighborhood.  The neighborhood is

at least 35 years old,  but I think it might

be older than that,  but you would never

know,  as there are new houses mixed in 

with the older ones and everything is 

immaculate in there.

Truly a visual delight..........thanks to

their Home owners Association.

#10

I am thankful

for the fun of watching HGTV on their cable.

We always enjoy that when we vacation too.

Always a treat since we don't have cable at

home.........and I'm not complaining we like

it that way........as it always gives us 

something to look forward to.................

#11

I am thankful

Dee and Jerry got back yesterday,  safe and

sound,  altho, they were exhausted, they

were home.

#12

I am thankful 

for these cute lil starfish dishes she brought

me,  they are so adorable. See them below.

They brought her Dad Kona Coffee, his fav!

So he was making coffee last night!!  lol

They are all the same size........this pic sort of makes 

them lookgraduated in size.

Aren't they adorable,  can't wait till next Summer

to use them in a tablescape.  Might just have to

mix them in with my Fall decor here somewhere

in the meantime.

#13

I am thankful

that I returned refreshed and renewed and rested

and ready to go,  as soon as I straightened up

the house I cleaned the porch as it was in sore

need of it again.  Looks so much better!

If we could just keep these dratted racoons off

our porch,  they leave dirty footprints and hand

prints all over the place.  Annoying!!  lol

Well,  that is my list for the week,  hope you

enjoyed it..........I sure did!!

Not quite in the same way I am sure!!  lol

So glad you stopped by.............

Share something you are thankful
 for if you 'd like.

Have a great Friday and Weekend,

See ya next week,

Love, Hugs,  and

Sweet Baby Blessings,

Nellie

Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 11, 2012

The next 4 pics are compliments of Public domain pictures.
http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/

 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

Evening Sweet Friends,

How was your day??  
Hope you had a good one.

Mine was pretty good I have to say,  and I 
will let my thankful post tell you the rest!

#1

I am thankful

for a nice sunny day, with no rain for a change,
and a fun day out by myself.

#2

I am thankful

for the fun of buying my first gift for my grand-

baby that is on the way.  We still don't know

if it is a girl or boy,  but we will be finding out

on Saturday at their gender party.

So Excited!!

#3

I am thankful

that Dee and Jerry got to Hawaii safe and

sound for his sister's destination wedding.
and thankful we got to see them before 
they left, and also that we got to keep
Rosie...................lol

#4

I am thankful

that we are gonna spend a night at their
 house maybe just as a get away for us. 
 They were so sweet to offer that.

#5

I am thankful

for some new leaf embellishments that I

found today that gave me a great idea for

redoing a hubby card I made years back,

it will be so cute with these.

#6

I am thankful

that I have learned some new stuff this

week on my new card program.  It just

has so many great features,  but takes

awhile to learn it all,  but it doesn't impede

my card making, as you just learn as you

go,  and it is so much like the old way,

that has been an immense help.

#7

I am thankful

for our new dentist, even tho I have not

been yet,  I have had several conversations

with the girls there and my hubby has been

twice now,  and he loves it and thinks they

are very thorough and knowledgeable.

#8

I am thankful

that we paid attention to that inner voice

that told us we needed a new dentist, as

hubby found out he had quite a bit of work

to be done, and it should have been dis-

covered long before now.  Which is sort
for scary for me.........cause I go next.  lol

#9

I am thankful

for our air purifier that we have had for
years because of allergies,  but lately I
don't have to use it for allergies that often
but it is really handy when Rosie is here,
because every noise she hears she thinks
is our cat Molly, but when we turn on the
A/P it pretty much drowns out all noise,
and we all sleep like babies.............lol

#10

I am thankful

that we have the ability and priviledge of 

praying for our nation and our political 

situation.  We have sure been praying over
 these Presidential and VP debates like crazy.
We believe prayer is the only thing that is
 going to change things for our country.

#11

I am thankful

for you my bloggy friends,  you bring me 

a lot of enjoyment with your comments and

stories and emails.  I have always had pen

pals when I was a kid,  so it is like having

adult pen pals now,  and I love it.

So Thanks for your time, energy, prayers,

encouragement, shared ideas, inspirations

and more........You are all great!!

#12

I am thankful

for what a wise hubby I have,  in fact, after
bible study today, I realized as I was giving 
my own input  about things, how many times I 
mentioned great insights my hubby has given me.
What a blessing!

This is the tree in our backyard last year in winter,
See our trees do change here in Florida................lol



Well, that is my list for this week.
I have to say I really love doing this 
list as it really makes me think about 
my blessings and puts me in a even
better mood when I am done.........

Glad you came by and look forward
to hearing from ya!

I am off to watch the VP debates!

Until next week............

Love, Hugs and
Many Wonderful Blessings
to you!
Nellie
