Snowys


Thursday, May 8, 2008 - Thankful Thursday ~ May 8


This week dd14 had her first game of netball and she enjoys it.  I had a little tour of the garden this last weekend and enjoyed seeing at least some berries on the holly that is over our back fence.

On Sunday I got to see the snow on the mountains.  I had forgotten, and looked up and saw it on our way home.  There was sun on Sunday, and I sat in a deck chair and was warm for a little while.  I watched the kids play in the pond and the waterfall.

On Tuesday we were finished our pantry challenge.  The girls were home from school and we were delayed going to the shops.  Fortunately when we got there and only had two items in our trolley, there was a blackout, and we were asked to leave the shop.  I was really pleased the girls made a salad for lunch and also one daughter used the money we had to buy hot potato gems, so we were warm and happy until the power came back on. 

On Wednesday I had a nice sleep in ready for my big shopping day today.  These were some of the blessings I wrote out:

~ the meal I was worried about turned out to be delicious and enough for everybody, it was kumara & tuna patties from www.taste.com.au

~ we got my tubes planted that I bought from ebay via a nursery

~ got some painting done, it was just undercoated and outside

~ saw a man riding a horse, haven't seen much of that since I was a child, so always exciting that men still ride horses

~ got my curtains hung and they fit

~ the girls got to buy some lollies/candy

~ the kids enjoyed playing in the waterfall/pond in the backyard

We also got news of a bonus from work so will be able to catch up a little, which is wonderful.

Wow - so sorry to read that you had a blackout. Glad though that all worked out for you.
Nice to just step back sometimes and have a little down-time to get energy.

Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.

Be blessed today and always...
