Thankful Thursday around the house

 

I'm very thankful for having a nice home to 'hang out' in during this troublesome times. It's never a dull moment! 

Even the Sandhill Cranes came by for a visit!

They were in the back on the  golf course and then walked between the houses to the front yard.

And when our electricity went off for close to an hour, was it a coincidence that this vehicle was in the neighborhood. We rarely have this happen so we went into high gear finding candles and getting our dinner ready to cook on the grill.

But it came back on and no one had to eat a cold supper! lol

I've put out a few pretty Christmas throws in the lanai and my pixies are on a shelf in the sewing room with wooden blocks in front. 

My girlfriend Lynn O. has written a book, Dream Come True and had it published! 

Well done, girlfriend! I'm so proud of you and love my book!

I bought some pretty wintry coasters from Etsy at Prickly Pillowcases HERE and they will come in handy. Big enough for a cup or even a cereal bowl! And so well made! I love them!

Linda from Linda's Life Journal sent me a Christmas card with her 2020 Santa and Mrs. Claus. 

How delightful!

And I bought a Llama dishcloth from Swedish dishcloths HERE. I use them all the time and I've never had one especially for Christmas!

Have you treated yourself to anything new this week?

(should I put it on MY wish list? I've been very very good, I promise!)

The Christmas Robins are here early!

 

We usually see a big flock of Robins on the golf course on Christmas day. 

(And isn't my red mum lovely?)

The Robins came early this year! They must have known we needed a little encouragement.

We haven't had bad weather this week but we had a shower this morning and they were out there again pecking in the mulch under the palm tree.

I don't get a lot of junk mail but I did get a cute catalog from Walmart this week. It even had stickers to mark what you wanted for Christmas. Reminded me of the Sears wish books from days gone by. We  picked up our groceries this week too and got a little orange thank you!

I ordered new Swedish dish cloths in pretty Autumn designs and I love them!

And I even bought another Columbia hiking shirt in a pretty shade of blue.

And yes....this is toilet tissue! But look at the little embossed butterfly! 

Have you bought anything new this week?

(I need to make a new wish list! lol)

We have so much to be thankful for! Hiking is still close to the TOP of my list!!!

Please keep us in your prayers today as Hurricane Eta barrels through this part of Florida. I'll give you an update in a few days....God willing and the creek don't rise. (as my Dad used to say!)
