Thankful Thursday and Other Weekday Smiles

Thankful Thursday is a good way to express the thankfulness inside your heart. We are thankful for tiny but mighty Logan.He moved up to four lbs. so we are thankful for that.

A photo of a tiny boy and his momma. Please pray another down. More testing, but thankful that they will hopefully get to the bottom of this.

Smokey sitting in his chair, Summer 2017. Saw his oncologist today. No bad news, holding steady. Thankfulness.

Persnickety. An  adjective word simply meaning  fussy, when it comes down to brass tax with this feline fellow. Stop in to say hi to Sandee and those who visit Feline Friday.

Lulu and her lil girl Molly. Molly likes to burrow under the covers. Lulu does not. My Lu is a busy girl, a bit nosey. Molly is filled with puppy energy but she likes naps too. Speaking of naps, I love them Respice Prospice. Forgot to mention it at your blog earlier. A friend Lisa, received that Nap Time pillow case from her friend Roseann while they were on vacation in the state of Texas. My girls Lulu and Molly are both so pretty in pink. Molly is still so small she does not have a collar yet. Her mom has a blingy ID tag. Someday soon Molly..... Say hello to Pink Saturday

Pretty pink bling with bows for sweet little puppy girls.

Beautiful words written in the old testament.

Thinking of my beautiful grandmother who was my BFF until her untimely passing. My grandfather passed away tragically with their youngest son Tony in a mining accident. But I found a wonderful photo of his father Jakob on ancestry while searching for loved ones. My mother's cousins had lots and lots of photos. Thankful for all of them.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY AND HUMP DAY

I never tire of this silly camel! Happy Hump Day all!

North Ponto Beach, Carlsbad, California. Taking a small getaway with Rebekah and Zach to Carlsbad next month. The hubby's friend, former co worker and now boss, Tony spends tons of time in Carlsbad with his phamily and Rebekah and Zach wanted to get back to the San Diego area so here we go. I am not very good at Wordless Wednesday but the google image made me smile. ah.....relaxation.

I sure love this simple yet powerful verse.

Binder  and my hubby's uncle, Bud, Duane and Virgil Blackwell  all returned from WWII.  My grandmother's cousin Frances Marijanovic lost her only son Bruce in WWII,  My late father-in-law Carl T. Robinson U.S. Navy WWII . My sisters former husband and the father of my two nieces Karla and Holly, Robert L. Hoffert returned from Vietnam as well as my cousin Joanne's former husband and the father of her two daughters, Kristi and Laura "Sissy" Hoskins returned. Thank you Jesse Hoskins for your service. R.I.P. to all who never returned including James Turner, the only son of my mom's cousin Hedwig Marold Turner.

The words to a popular song during the Vietnam War. Sadly the Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler, who wrote and performed this song, ended up in a psychiatric hospital and later committed suicide. we never know the true horrors of war or what these brave men and women experienced.
