Thankful Thursday: Thanks for the ride:)

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Psalms 146:2

37 Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day. Alma 37: 37

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed.

The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise.

Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed.

The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."
~Gordon B. Hinckley

Ok, really think about it, how do you roll?

Bloomin' Tuesday: 05/19/09

For Mother's Day (from myself)

I ordered from ebay some fun plants.

I was surprised to see plant food,

And a happy face,

Great treat!

My new hibiscus were well wrapped, well watered, and super quick!

If you are interested in hostas, this lady has quite a selection.

Hubby and I went to Lowe's for flower plants for my mom. I found this cool plant on clearance.

(Mulla Mulla, or Pink Pussywillow: Joey Ptilotus exalatus, full sun, semi-moist, 12"x12")

Looks perfect in the new combo pot,

I'm hoping it will continue to bloom when dead headed, and reseed.

I also bought a pot of Aggie Maroon bluebonnets.

But, you can see they bloomed blue!

Thats ok, I just went back and bought one in bloom:)

I'll be saving seeds from these!

(the blue ones needed watering, thats why the leaves are curled up)

What a great hubby who knows for Mother's Day I want cash. Love him, I really do:)

Happy Bloomin' Tuesday! I'm joining MsGreen "thumb" Jean for Bloomin' Tuesday!

"I love the rainy nights"

I love the rainy nights...





Really I do, or did, until lightening killed my computer. The computer FILLED with all my precious pictures. All those pictures I didn't transfer to cds like the little voice in my head told me too.
So, just like that, ZAP!!! Gone!!!

I told hubby no hurry on the replacement computer, I could visit my blogpeeps in the eveing on his laptop, BUT him being the sweetheart he is, took it in, got all my old info (hard drive) saved, and moved to my new...



Yep, a Dell, which is supposed to be better than my old HP. Sad thing is, my HP screen and keyboard, which was only three years old, is already out of date, and now my speakers don't work, and I have to get a new keyboard.


(meanwhile I'm borrowing hubby's new keyboard, because when he found my Dell, he also bought him a new laptop and work computer)

I still haven't moved my photos to the new computer, or cds, but, trust me, that will be done this week.



So, I'm baaaaccccckkkkkk!!!

And will be checking in on you guys real soon!!!



My tip to share? When you unplug your power strip to the computer during a lightening storm, ALSO unplug the phone line if the computer is receiving internet service THROUGH it. I just found out our power strip ALSO has a phone jack, so now all can be turned off at the same time. Also, move those photos to CD! Don't trust your computer as reliable storage.

Blue Monday? I was BLUE without my computer and blog-ability, NOW my new BLUE Dell brightens my day!!

Have a GREAT WEEK!!!!!

Son-Day: "Give Me Oil In My Lamp"

This childhood song has been so stuck in my mind I had to go look it up on line. Now the little girls I babysit and I sing it every morning.
What a great start to the day:)



God Bless And Keep You:)

Thankful Thursday: Peace

Peace
does not mean

to be in a place

where there is no noise,

trouble,

or hard work,

it means to be in the midst of those things,

and still be calm in your heart.

(unk)


"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you:

not as the world gives, give I to you.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

John 14:27

Today's prompt is wisdom.

~Perfect~

Have a GREAT Thankful Day!!
My goal this year is to soak it up, to bloom where I am planted, and enjoy the ride... Counting my many blessings naming them one by one... Join Spiritually Unequal Marriage, or Women Taking A Stand to join in or see more.
