Table Top Tuesday - Fall Coffee table and Mantle

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning

I hope your feeling fine,

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning

It's time to rise and shine!

Well, most of you have probably risen and are

 shining by now................but those are the words

from a song off of a christian children's album called

"Bullfrogs and  Butterflies" that I used to sing to my 

kids sometimes in the morning when I woke them up!! 

They just came to me I think cause I am feeling

sooo good this morning.  My back is still giving me

trouble but I had a root canal yesterday so they

have me on heavy doses of Ibuprophen for a few

days and I am feeling no pain and it is glorious!!

Hubby also put the lap top on the kitchen counter

for me.............per that great idea from another

blog friend.  Feel like I have been out of the

blogosphere foreverrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Have really missed you guys! and blogging just

 makes me an even happier camper.  Hopefully

I will be around to visit you soon,  since I can

do this standing up now.......am trying not to
sit much at all these next few days, to see if
my back issue will just clear up,  if it is caused
 from inflamation.  Have an appt. with the
chiropractor on Friday,  would have gone
sooner but what they do to clear up my
back issues usually get my neck going!!  lol
Have to say have been feeling my age these
last few weeks.................lol

Figured I would link up to Marty over at

A stroll thru life and show you some more of

my Fall decorations while it is still Fall!!  lol

and since downloading pics is much easier.

Starting off with my coffe table in the family room

Welcome to Thankful Thursday - November 8, 2012

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope yall have had a better week than I have.......
it has not been one of my better ones in some 
ways, but then in other ways it has been great!

First, I have been missing from the blogosphere
because I can't sit for too long, as my back is
acting up again, fortunately that is the only time 
it hurts, thank the Lord, yesterday was a week.
Then there was the election,  enough said,  then 
today I went to the dentist and found out I need
a lot of dental work... including a root canal!!
yikes!! But ...................

#1
I am thankful
for dental insurance,  that is for sure!!

#2

I am thankful

for our 42 Wedding Anniversary that we celebrated 

yesterday. We didn't celebrate exactly how we thought 

we would, but it turned out great, and left us both happy,

so that is all that matters really.

#3

I am thankful

for what a wonderful husband and friend I have in my

 hubby. We have had so many wonderful times together,

 as well,  as weathering many storms of life,  but we

have done it all together. and 42 years later we still

like it like that!  lol

#4

I am thankful

that our Pastor and another Pastor we heard on

Sunday morning prepared us for the election

results, even when they didn't know what was

gonna happen.  The Lord did.............

#5

I am thankful

that we serve a God who goes before us and

knows how to prepare the hearts of His people

for whatever is to come.

#6

I am thankful

that both  Pastor's shared scriptures from the

bible, that tell of God's sovereignty over our

world and our government.

#7

I am thankful

that we have a God who is in control of this world,

even when it doesn't look like it.  Even when we

question,  he says in his word,  "That He works

all things together for the good of those who love

Him and are called according to His purposes"
Romans 8:28

I have experienced it and seen it in the lives of

others that love the Lord many many times,

so know it is so true and that brings me mucj
peace in these troubled times we live in.

#8

I am thankful

that I am finally getting my teeth cleaned today.

Since we changed dentists it has taken about 

2 1/2 months to get in,  but once we are in the 

system, it want be a problem. 

Wrote the above this morning....... 
Got all that disturbing news but no cleaning,
have to go back on the 19th for that!!  lol
but did like the new dentist and her staff,
they are all very sweet.

#9

I am thankful

that our whole family was able to get together

to celebrate Scott's 35th Birthday last Sunday.

We had such a good time..

#10

I am thankful

that Megan continues to do well in carrying our

lil sweetheart to come.  She really looks great

and has not gained much  weight at all.  She

is all baby.................

and I am having the joy of buying some cute

lil things for baby..........such fun and JOY!

#11

I am thankful

that at long last we have finally found a dining
room  light fixtures we both like,  and we got
it.......Happy Anniversary to us!!
Can't wait to get her up,  and hoping I like her
as much up as I do down.................lol

#12

I am thankful

that we have gotten more done in the garage,
 2 more shelving units up, and have thrown a lot
 of stuff out, and it is looking better all the time.

and more space too........yeah for that!

Well, sorry about no pics,  just can't sit any
longer.................


So this was the Good, Bad and the Ugly and
Beautiful of our week!

Hope you have a great evening and weekend

Love, Hugs,
and Blessings,
Nellie

Welcome to Thankful Thursday - Nov.1, 2010

Let the word of christ dwell in you richly

as you teach and admonish one another

with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms,

hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude

in your hearts to God.

Colossians 3:16

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How has your week been??  Course,
If you are in the storm affected area
I suspect it has been not been one of
your better weeks, I am sure, and I am
 so sorry for all you are going thru and
 praying for you, and that you have what 
you need.  If you aren't in the affected 
area, as we weren't I am thinking you
 are probably like us, very grateful....

I know a lil bit about that as we went
thru 3 hurricanes in a row about 7-8
years ago,  one every 2 weeks, and
the first one wrecked our yard, and
we had about 12 trees on our house,
most of them small but we did have
some very big pine trees as well, one
fell on top of our screened porch and
across our garage.None of them 
amazingly did any structural damage, 
no holes in our roof, which was a
 miracle in and of itself, but we did
 need a new roof on the house and
 porch, as they were beat up. What
 an ordeal to go thru, and to clean
 up, but as we worked to clean up
 the Lord did so many neat things
 to help us. We will never forget all 
of his provisions for us during 
that time!

Well, better get on with this 
post now....................

#1

I am thankful

for a good report on my annual

Drs. physical.  He said my bloodwork

was about as perfect as it could get!

Can't help loving that report!!

#2

I am thankful

we finally got rid of our old Van,  it
was sad to see her go... I have to say
but .....it was nice to get her out of our
driveway as it has been a bit of a nuisance
at times shuffling cars around.

#3

I am thankful
that I finally heard from my cousins today
that live in Virginia,  and they are both fine.
Had not been able to reach them by phone
or email,  and finally got an email today.
So that was great news.

#4

I am thankful
 that we will all get to celebrate Scott's

birthday with him this coming Sunday
 as that is his actual birthday.  
So looking forward to that and am thankful
I have finally and happily come up with a 
cute table idea.  For some reason I have just
 been drawing a blank until last night, saw 
something that sparked an idea..........and
it has grown from there.  Nothing like a 
lil inspiration...........

#5

I am thankful
for a fun day at bible study,  lots of great
sharing today, and then I started my Christmas
 shopping.  I made a day of it ........then met
 hubby for dinner at 6p.m.  I just love Christmas
 and buying gifts for people!  Rings my chimes.


#6
I am thankful
for the wonderful dinner we had at Olive
Garden. I love their Chicken Marsala but
  they prepared the wrong thing for me, so they
had to take it back,  but it was well worth the 
wait.  It is always good,  but for some reason it
 was way better than usual,  and a very full plate.

#7
I am thankful
that our server was so sweet,  that she took
 my dinner off our bill completely because she felt
 so bad I had to wait so long, what a nice blessing,
So needless to say we left her a nice tip!!
and I am happy I don't have to concern myself
with what to have for lunch tomorrow.....
chicken Marsala it is..................yeah!! 


#8
I am thankful
the Imaging center called to offer me an appt.
 to get my bone density test done today,  so did
 that too,  so one more thing off the list!!  lol  
Now I have to go to the dentist next Thursday, 
 and make an appt. with a dermotologist.
Think that is why I put off going to the Dr.,
cause it isn't just one appt., by the time
you are done there is at least 3 more. lol

#9

I am thankful
for all the coupons I have been getting
in the mail lately,  I used 3 of them today,
and saved $50.00, so what a nice blessing
that was..................


#10
I am thankful
for the truth of God's word, and for the
encouragement it brings to my heart
during these trying times we live in.

#11
I am thankful
Dee and Jerry are better now.  They had
a stomach virus the first part of the week,
 Dee got it first, then Jerry got it a  few days later, 
 and he had a worse case that she did...........but 
they are feeling mucho better!  Praise the Lord!


#12
I am thankful
for a Christmas Cottage magazine I found at
Sam's,  it is a lil pricey,  but way better buying 
it at Sam's, and it is full of Christmas inspiration,
can hardly wait to dig into it!!  lol
Lots of  festive Christmas eye candy! It is not
full of ads either..........anymore, it seems like 
most of the magazines are, and you almost feel 
like they should pay you to buy the magazine!! lol

Well, That ends my list for now.......

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

Hope you have a good weekend,

Love, Hugs, and 
Provisonal Blessings to you,
Nellie

Table Top Tuesday- White living room dressed for Fall, Part 2

Happy Monday

Sweet Friends,

Hope your Monday is going well,  

and that you had a nice weekend,

course,  I know some of you live in 

the Hurricane area,  so you are

 probably busy getting ready for 

the storm. Know we are 

concerned and praying for you. 

We had a very nice weekend,  the weather

was wonderful because of the hurricane, off shore

of course, but it gave us nice cool breezy weather

here in Florida.  So we were able to go out walking

and not sweat to death!  lol  This morning we were

 51 degrees............Glory!   Am Loving It!!

Well, I am linking up to Marty over at 

a stroll thru life for Table Top Tuesday,

So if you want to see some inspiration

Just Click Here

Well, this is part 2 of our white living room all dressed

up for Fall.   Hope you enjoy it........................

These first pics are all from my double etagere shelves.

The yellow roses in the basket are roses from my bouquet

from  Scott and Megan's wedding.  I added this subway

print over a picture with a pc. of ribbon.  Someone in

blogland made this poster last year for anyone to copy

and use,  and I really like it very much,  but for the life
 of me,  I can't remember who it was............So if it was you 
please let me know, so I can give credit where credit is due.

Have never had Beaureguard (My Rooster) in the living room

before, so this was a fun addition.

Used my new sign here.  

Letters from an old boggle game,  this shelf has

what you see here and pictures of  our Mom's

who are now home with the Lord.

Only got part of this shelf cause it was high and I needed

a chair...........too lazy to get one, so this is all you get!!  lol

Fun lil statue from my daughter I think it was,

and she looks like my neice when she was little,

  so just added some pinecones to make her a bit 

more festive.........

Moved my round table into the family room so had

to find a new replacement,  so used an extra chair

and just swagged it with a tablecloth and added

the other embellishements.

Same pic with Posterized affect

I added a lil starfish here too!

 Which reminds me,  if you missed last

weeks Part l and would like to see it,

Just click here!

 Love these mirror reflections!

They are of the living room, which you

saw some of last week.

This makes the room reversed,  so the white table 

on the left is really on the right.

This is  another shelf across from where the chair sits.

Well, that's all folks,

as porky would say!!



Am also linking up to Becky
for Blissful Whites Wednesday,
if you want to see lots of calming
and pretty whites,  Just click here!

Thanks for stopping by,

Have a Great Day!

Now.... go be light to someone!!

Hugs, and Fall Blessings,

Nellie

Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 25, 2012

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
since as members of one body you were called to peace,
and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15

Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope all is well with you and yours.

I am thankful to say all is well with us, and ours!
Sorry I am a bit late, but actually forgot to finish last 
night..........and on my way to bed I remembered but
thought too tired, in the morning!!  lol

It is a pretty windy and gloomy looking here this
 morning, wind gusts and more than likely we will
get rain too, all being thrown off from hurricane Sandy.
Which leads me to my 

#1

I am thankful
that so far, we  have dodged another hurricane bullet, 
altho,  I am very sorry and praying for those who did not.

#2

I am thankful

for the lovely cool mornings we have been having
here all this week in Florida, feels like Fall at least
 in the morning and late at night!  lol  
Was nice to get out and work in the yard a lil with the
 beautiful weather. So enjoyable!!

#3

I am thankful

for Billy Graham and others who are great spiritual 

leaders and examples to us all, like Charles Stanley,

Andy Stanley, David Jeremiah, Bob Coy, James

Merritt,  and our own Pastors at our church.

Know there are plenty others, but they just aren't 
coming to mind right now.

#4
I am thankful

for my Mom's (who is in heaven) potato salad recipe.
  I made a big bowl this week for the first time in a long

while,  and had forgotten just how delicious it is.....

#5

I am thankful

that we have already voted,  and now just are waiting 
to see the results.  Just 11 more days!!

#6

I am thankful
that we got one of our  new shelves up in the garage,
we have 2 more and maybe 3 more to go,  but we
have started, and can't believe how nice it looks and
how much more room we will have out there.

#7
I am thankful
 on Wed. and Thurs., especially for Alleve Sinus and
 Ibuprophen,as my face was aching (allergy related) and
 then I started getting body aches along with my back issues, 
 so it has made me feel soooooooo much better,  and
hubby needed the ibuprophen because he had a lot
of dental work done Wed.,  so God bless those
little feel good pills....................lol



#8
I am thankful
for the new things I have learned on my software
package this week.  Neat stuff!

#9
I am thankful
that I have been able to work on a number of
cards this week, even with my back issues.
I sit a little at the computer,  then go do something 
else for awhile, then come back, and repeat the
process.......lol       Working tho!!


#10
I am thankful
that Dee and Jerry got to come over on Sunday,
we had a great time as always.

#11
I am thankful
for organizations like Samaritan's purse, that
provide Christmas gifts and daily help to children
in underpriviledged countries.  Our bible study
group is each doing a shoebox christmas gift,
so I had the pleasure and honor of filling a
 shoebox for a young girl.

#12
I am thankful
hubby finally found an all in one printer that will
work for us,  our scanner broke quite some time
ago,  so we needed a new one but you can get
an all in one printer for the same price as just a 
scanner.  It will be nice to have a scanner again, 
so we can make copies when we need to, and
now we have a backup printer as well.


#13
I am thankful
that my back is feeling much better,  not
completely there yet,  but able to sit and lie
down now with no problem.  Just sorta sore
still,  but hey, I can deal with that!!  lol


There a baker's dozen!  lol

Any Thankful's you would
like to share....
would love to hear them!

So glad you came by,and l
ook forward to hearing from you.

Have a Terrific Weekend,

Love, Hugs and 
Good Weather Blessings,
Nellie
