Thankful Thursday

This week I am so thankful for my friend.  She made me a quilt and it is absolutely gorgeous.  It has the pink breast cancer ribbon on it.  She said she made it for me because I have beat cancer's butt.  She also made one for my puppy because she stayed by my side through it all.  I love it!  Here are a couple pictures of it.  And let me tell you, the pictures do not do it justice.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Here's a close-up of  the material

And here is Lucy sitting on her quilt.

 Thank you so much Brenda.  You are such a wonderful friend and I am thankful for you.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What's the last thing you did that someone else thought was super?
Nothing comes readily to mind.

2. The last thing you ate that tasted superb?
Soup beans and cornbread on Monday night.  They were made by a lady at church.

3. Supersensitive, superstitious, superwoman, superambitious, supercilious, supervisor, superficial...pick a super word from the list and tell us how it relates to your life in some way recently or currently.
I asked my husband this and he said to tell you he things I'm super all the way around.  And as long as he and God thinks I'm super that's all that matters.

4. Do you love easily? If you're comfortable doing so, explain why you think that is.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not so much.  

5. Valentine's Day lands on a Tuesday this year. Will you mark the day in some way?
I'll probably get a card for hubby.   We may go out to dinner too.  We really haven't talked about it yet. If you're celebrating with a dinner out somewhere will it be on Tuesday or will you celebrate over the weekend? We'll probably do more of a celebration over the weekend as our anniversary is Saturday, the 18th.  It'll be a combo thing.

6. What's something you are loving right now?
Hubby and I are watching the old TV series "Crossing Jordan" and we are both enjoying it.  I don't know why, but we never watched it when it was actually on.

7 Write a three word (or less) phrase you'd like to see on a Valentine candy heart.
"Colton loves Gigi"...That little boy just has me wrapped around his little finger.

 

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

The Simple Woman's Daybook February Edition

For Today: Tuesday, February 7, 2017

Click this button to go to the Simple Woman's Daybook blog, if you'd like to join in.

Looking out my window:  it's a rather grey day outside, but it's 57 degrees out,  I love it!

I am thinking:  I am enjoying my lunch of grilled chicken and cauliflower with cheese

I am thankful:  for christian co-workers to talk with.  So nice to share with fellow christians.  I love the other co-workers too.

One of my favorite things:  the sky.  I love looking at the sky, whether day or night and trying to take pictures of it too.  To me it's like God's easel and I love the paintings He makes.  Below are some sky photos I have taken in the past.

I am creating:  I'm crocheting a black scarf for my hubby.  Although, to be honest, it's been a couple of weeks since I've worked on it.  Must get back to it tonight.

I am wearing:  dark blue pants and a lighter blue sweater with hood.

I am reading:  Actually, I'm waiting on my library to get the next book to read. I'm waiting on "The Magnolia Story" by Chip and Joanna Gaines (I keep hearing good things about this) and also "The Calling" by Rachelle Dekker.  This is the 3rd in a series and I enjoyed the other two.

I am hoping:  we get to go to Pigeon Forge next month (reservations are made).

I am learning:  more about the love Jesus has for me. Can't figure out why, but I'm glad He does.

In my kitchen:  had a delicious dinner last night.  A sweet lady in our church made us some soup beans and cornbread and brought it to us Sunday.  We ate it last night and it was absolutely delicious.  Thank you Veronica!

Shared Quote: 

I am learning to live this.  I've tried to do the Holy Spirit's job before and believe me it doesn't work.

A moment from my day:

a recent picture of me and my puppy.

My Weekend

Hubby and I had a really nice weekend.  Saturday we picked up Colton at 7:00am (and by the way, that is just too early to be up on a Saturday morning...haha).  His mommy was worked and she needed a babysitter.  After we picked him up we decided to go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  He slept through the whole meal. 

Just look at that face!

 We took him to our house for awhile and then later we went and visited with my sister so she could spend some time with him.  He loved all the attention he was getting.

His mommy took him to the zoo that evening and she said he was mesmerized by all the lights and dancers and things going on.,  Isn't that just the cutest tiger face you've ever  seen.

That evening hubby and I stayed home and watched another Harry Potter movie.  We've only got 2 more to go and then we'll have to find another movie marathon for our Saturday nights.

Sunday we had 2 great services at church and we went to lunch with Tracy's family.  We went to Moe's.  Hubby and I had never been there before, but it was pretty good.  I'm sure we'll be back again.

So that was my weekend.  What did you do?

Friday Foto Friends

Hubby and I went here for lunch Saturday.  Yummy!!

I love pink skies!

Kerri and Colton visited me at work this week.

Snowy drive home from church Sunday night.  Fortunately we didn't get too much.

Gigi get me out of this car seat!

Sometimes I think Lucy thinks she's a cat.  She loves to sit on the back of this chair.

Gigi and Colton watching Barney.  He loved it.

I love the American Flag and this one was huge!

That's my pictures for the past week.
