#ProjectThankful14



 
2.20.14 Our Place
 
It was warm out - a change from the cold & snow that we keep getting slammed with.  So Ricky carried Sydney out front & I brought a comfy doggie bed & me & my girl got to enjoy our favorite place.  I always say on my front porch, in my rocking chair, with my Kindle in my hands & my dog at my feet - its the best place ever.  Sydney just loves to lay there & watch & listen to everything. 
Not sure what the future holds for Sydney so I was thankful to be able to enjoy this spot once again with her.
 
 
 
2.21.14 A Perk'ed up Surprise
 
A sweet friend totally surprised me when I opened up an email & got this.
Who doesn't love surprises that involve Starbucks?
It literally made me teary eyed & made me appreciate so the friendships I've made in Blog-world.  Amazing Christian women I'm honored to learn about their life, their families, their faith...
 
There are a handful of women I've 'met' in blog world that I'm determined to meet face to face one day.  I just have to sit & talk to them in person & just be able to hug them.
Warning:  I'm a hugger.
 
 
 
2.22.14 My Night Time Best Friend
 
I just can't handle not being able to breath - especially at night.
That's just so miserable.  So this little bottle?  The first thing I look for when I'm ready to go to bed this week.
 
 
 
 
2.23.14 - One Month
 
Its been one month since Sydney's cancer diagnosis.
We're mutt-ling through... appreciating every single day
 
 
 
 
 
2.24.14 (a) - LIGHT SKIES!!!!
 
This was the first morning that the sky was light as I was driving in.
Sun light speaks to my soul... I can't tell you how happy this made me
(Let's forget the fact that the time changes in a few weeks & I'm back to driving in the dark... I'm thankful for it this week)
 
 
2.24.14 (B) - SURPRISE BLESSING!!!

 
Yes, I have 2 things on this date. Nothing wrong with being thankful for 2 things - right?  But I had taken the picture first thing in the morning & then got home & had this surprise waiting on me.  How can I NOT be doubly thankful on this day?
 
My sweet blog friend Deidre made me this umbrella. 
I am a monogram nut.  Monogram anything & I want it.
... I never even knew you could monogram an umbrella.
I.AM.IN.LOVE!!!!

How cute is this thing?  & its Belle Yellow!! Perfection!!! 
 
 
 
2.25.14 - Happy Birthday William

Grandbaby #3 born - healthy - strong - beautiful
Momma - healthy - strong - beautiful
Can't ask for anything more




 
 
2.26.14 Sparkling Seltzer Water

I'm so addicted to this stuff.  Kroger only buys like 4 cartons so I'm always on the hunt for it.  & when I see it in restaurants? I think I hit the lottery.
This right here is what brought my awful habit of Diet Coke.
Its an acquired taste - I'll give you that much.  But so was Diet Coke.
& now?  Its a 'can't live without' item for me.

 
 
 
 What are you thankful for this week?

  1. Hi there! Stopping by from the link up! I'm so sorry about your dog having cancer. I will keep her in my prayers. I have two dogs and one has congestive heart failure. I am already broken heart about the thought of losing her but trying to enjoy every day with her.
    Love your new umbrella-very cute! :)

  2. Congratulations on the grandson, he's beautiful! And you and Sydney will be in my thoughts- we had to put down one of the cats I grew up with before Christmas, and it was so very difficult. So hard to see pets struggle.
    Hope you have a wonderful coming week!

  8. You look so cute with your umbrella! Not being able to breathe at night is the absolute worst.. I use Alka Seltzer cold tablets and they are a lifesaver. And I've been so happy all week since the sun isn't setting until almost 6pm! It's amazing how much the little things improve your mood in the winter haha
