Of Weddings and things

These last few days I have been happily busy getting ready and attending the wedding of my neice. This involved flying to the state of Washington, along with my daughter and her husband last Wednesday. Here is a picture of the happy couple taken last Thursday.

The wedding was very lovely, and it was a great joy to see their joy.

Of Hummers, Yard Sales and Things

And, here it is, another rainy Saturday. Yes, I am thankful for the wonderful rain. I love the sound of rain. And, when it is overcast outside, it gives me a lovely excuse to burn candles.

The Lord has given me a good week, and I am so thankful for His abundant blessings. This list includes but by no means is limited to the following Thankfuls:

• Finally seeing humming birds at my feeder. Such a delight.
• Getting the permanent crown on a tooth this week..... with minimal discomfort.
• Time spent enjoying Aiden's smiles. This Grandma heart is blessed!
• Enjoying yard sales in our subdivision yesterday. And, finding a few "treasures" to put around the house.
• Two days of work finished successfully. I am thankful for the challanges, and the wisdom the Lord gives to meet the challanges.
• Being able to spend time crocheting. I do enjoy making afghans!
• Enjoying lovely warm weather.
• Knowing that the Lord meets and cares for all of our needs.
• Finding some wonderful sales on clothes.
• A new pair of comfortable sandals.
• Enjoying Scramble on Facebook!

Rainy Day Thankfuls

Guess I have two weeks of thankfuls to catch up on. I did not have internet access last weekend, so that would explain why there was no post. I am sure all my faithful readers are eagerly waiting for my next installment. So, here is a partial list covering the last two weeks.

• Some wonderful rain today. I enjoy the sound of rain!
• A week spent with my mother and the many blessings of that time. Spending time with family, knowing that she took in that I was there, at least some of the time and the loving support of friends. And, knowing that His timetable is perfect, even if I don't understand. I can trust Him.
• Sharon's supply of chocolate...and trail mix!
• Time visiting Jill and Evan in their lovely new home, and getting hugs from the children. And enjoying two delicious dinners. PTL for nieces...and their families!
• Protection driving in snow- and being able to enjoy the beauty of the snow.
• Adventures in my flying home from NH last Tuesday. This includes having both of my flights delayed 3 hours, arriving in Atlanta at 1:30 AM, and having to have AAA come start our car at 2:30 AM at the airport. I am so thankful for the peace that the Lord gave through that long day, and the amazing lack of frustration. He is Good.
• Making it through a 12 hour work day yesterday. God's Grace is sufficient.
• Our auto mechanic who actually made a "house call" this week, and fixed the problem with the car that had caused us to have to call AAA when we were at the airport. At no charge. PTL.
