Thankful Thursday and Veteran's Day

Happy Thursday everyone.  I hope you're having a wonderful week so far.  Yesterday I had the day off due to it being an important holiday and all and due to the fact that I am lucky enough to work at a bank and get bank holidays. :)  I was EXTREMELY busy yesterday that I didn't even have a single moment to look (until late last night before bed), much less post, on the computer about anything at all, including Veteran's Day.  So, I want to take a quick minute to post what I posted on Facebook and Instagram late last night before I went to bed:

While I was so happy to enjoy the holiday off, it didn't keep me from remembering why I was lucky enough to have the day off and the freedom to do what I needed and wanted to get done yesterday, so the thought of the Vets, including my paternal grandfather, among many uncles who fought in the War, and my son-in-law, who fought 2 tours over in Afghanistan, were on my mind hot and heavy yesterday.  So, thank you to all of them, along with all of our other Vets who fought protecting our freedom and this Flag, including the ones who didn't make it home. I am eternally grateful for your sacrifice and the sacrifice of your families to protect me and my family.

Now, on to Thankful Thursday.  Today is already November 12th - wow, can you believe it? November is flying by already!  Here are just a few things I am thankful for on this 12th Day of November:

1.  The Vets I mentioned above - eternally grateful

2.  The cool, crisp air that is starting to blanket this part of Texas - bring on the cold

3.  My new car - it is one I know I will have for a long time to come

4. My daughter and the fact that she is about to bring another huge joy into our lives when she delivers our grandson next Monday

5.  The day off yesterday as I was able to get SO much accomplished, including my CHRISTmas tree fluffed and started decorating, laundry done, supper cooked, errands ran, 2 CHRISTmas shows watched, dogs played with and my pants hemmed thanks to stitch witch, just to name a few. :)  

6.  My family and friends whom I adore

7.  My bloggy friends that I've made here in the blog world

These are just a few things I am thankful for - what are you thankful for on this Thankful Thursday? Did you have the day off yesterday? If so, were you able to get a lot accomplished as well?  I could really use another day or two off to work around the house here, but, there is a grandson on the horizon in my very near future and we leave this Saturday to make our way to Missouri to prepare for his arrival and to meet the little guy.  I can NOT wait.... *giddy with excitement*

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by to say hello.  :)

Lots of love and hugs,

THANK YOU FOR OUR FREEDOM!!

Happy Friday my friends!  Just a quick note to say THANK YOU to all of our wonderful Vets out there for all of their sacrifice in keeping us safe and protected and for our freedom.

Please be sure and thank a Veteran today if you get a chance.  Have a wonderfully blessed weekend and thanks for stopping by to say hello!

Lots of Love and hugs,

Happy Thursday sweet friends.  I know I promised you two new recipes today but that was because I had completely forgotten that there was something much more important to post about, so the recipes will be pushed back a day or two. 

I just want to say thank you to all of our service men and women who have fought for our country and who are fighting for our country now.  Along with a big thank you to all of the families who's loved ones are in harm's way to protect our freedom.  Thank you too for all of your sacrifice so that we may stay safe each and every day.  And here is a thank you to two of my most favorite veterans:

My Pappaw Doane and Uncle Beebe

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful and blessed day!

Lots of love and hugs,

THANK YOU TO OUR VETERANS

Happy Hump Day everyone! Since today is Veteran's Day I wanted to do a special tribute to those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom.  I could have done just one picture and a "Wordless Wednesday" day but decided to show different pictures instead to remind us all how lucky we are that we are actually FREE unlike the other countries we go to war to help.  I hope that you will all remember to thank a Veteran today for all that they do and have done for us and remember that it is all because of their hard work and dedication that we are a FREE country and have the right to express our views/opinions, etc., even here in the blog world.

And I want to give a special THANKS to two of my favorite people in the world:

My grandfather (on the left) and his brother (my Uncle Beebe) on the right for all that they did to serve our Country.  Thank you pappaw and Uncle Beebe for all that you did to protect our freedom - I love you both very much!

So please don't forget to hug a Veteran today and thank them for all that they have done to keep us a safe and free country.   Happy Veteran's Day to those of you who have fought and continue to fight for the freedom of our Country.  Thank you for keeping us safe every day/night so that we can lay our heads down to sleep and not be afraid.  And thank you to those spouses and families who's family members are over there fighting for our freedom -  I am sending all of my love and prayers to you and your family for the safe return of your loved ones.

With much love and appreciation - T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U.!
