Thankful Thursday and More

A friend shared this at social media. Lou Diamond Phillips with his five Maine Coon Cats. One is hiding away behind the couch. My friend Marilyn had 2 Maine Coon Cat. One Thankful Thursdayday she came home from work and noticed her Pookie cat and her other Maine Coon sitting under the tree in the backyard. Her brother Bill was a Vietnam Vet and he often forgotten things or did random unusual things. She said, Bill did you let the cats outdoors? You know they are declawed and could never defend themselves. He was appalled and answered, I would never do such a terrible thing. The next day same thing. So off to the store she went to purchase a  video camera. The next day, their they were, chilling underneath the shade of the tree. She checked her video cam and the big male Buster was jimmying the lock on the patio door. That darn cat opened that door and away they went! This went on day after day. Buster was determined to have his friend enjoy the great outdoors with him. I love that story and always remember her two Maine Coons fondly. Stop by Thankful Thursday Show us what you are thankful for.

When Brody held Miss Shea Avery Marie he told his mom and dad he wanted a sister just like her. They told him he can have a baby girl cousin instead. HaHaHa! You have to be thankful for a boy with a kind heart. I sure am.

Cousin Harrison invited Brody over for a swim. Brody had been a bit shy about the water until he got in with Harrison. Another kind heart. It is amazing what another child can do to ease the fears of his small cousin.

Blake is following his big brothers lead. Together they keep their parents busy. Thankful for this crew including sister Addy not pictured with them.  The water table is something to occupy little ones on the warm sunny days.  Thankful I am related to this bunch of cuties.

I love this truth. Kindness will always come back to you tenfold. I truly believe it.

We still have a clothesline. I Love it. Fresher sheets and comforters too in the warm weather. I am just wondering how people, like the Amish, unfreeze their laundry in the winter time? I am guessing somehow they do it indoors. I love the Amish, having recently been grace by their hospitable ways. I love their handmade games and the ladies make candy more delightful then anything found in the stores today.  Mr. Dan Rabler, the toy maker, remembered our daughter Rebekah from her November visit to their shop. I know his name because he had a nice business card. I would never be mad at my hubby for updating my clothesline. HaHaHa I LOVE it!

Thankful Thursday and more

This made me smile and laugh. We had these phones too. Lord have mercy, a bank loan was needed to keep it up and running.  We were thankful for the phone as we are today. So much to be thankful for.

Did you know original Twinkies would be here 100 years after you were gone? Yep, filled with lots of non healthy junk! But this was still a smile maker.  I guess as kids things were not so important to see the content of everything we ate and drank like Twinkies and Kool-Aid. Plus we played outdoors. We were not slaves to iphones or video games. We ran off everything we ate and drank. For a treat, I remember, although my mom was an excellent cook, she would buy a TV dinner. Oh how I loved those and today, they are about 1/4 of the size they were back then and 10 times more calories and junk in them.  Thankful I had all the experiences I had.

Five years ago on May 10th we welcomed Leo into our home. Leo is a special guy. He is kind and cares for the pups like he is their own dad. He makes sure they are always safe in the yard. He is a big breed so I worry he won't have as long a life as the pups will. That is what is sad about our pets. They become our phamily and we never want to see them leave. So I am going to enjoy every single day we can with this boy with a big heart.  He has always appreciated all the love he has been given here. We will continue that . Thankful Thursday is a good place to talk about Leo. So stop by and share some thankfulness with everyone too. Thankful for Leo every day.

The haircut meme's make me laugh. One of these days we can get haircuts. I am not worried. Thankful someone will cut my hair when I can get an appointment.

I May have shared these verses before but it seems everywhere I go someone is needing some extra encouragement. Thankful for all these blessings.

THANKFUL THURSDAY AND MORE

Brian is here for Thankful Thursday. Lulu figured she could steal my breakfast but my plate was
empty. She was sad.

If you go here: My Heart you can see Hannah's blog. We chat in the morning as she is across the country. I was talking with her about blogging. The people, memories and all I have learned. I hope you visit her soon. She is very artistic.

2019 Father's Day and Mother's Day cards. These are so precious. They make me thankful and happy.

Humor always makes me chuckle and often, laugh out loud! I love laughter.

February is Valentine's Day so there is the best description of love found in the Scriptures.
