Thankful Thursday and Back Porch Sitting

Every day the Lord wakes me, I am Thankful!

The sun is shining through my window!

The temperatures has cooled off!

and

This morning I had lost another pound!

Getting weight off that took years to put it on,

isn't easy.  I am on a low carb diet mostly for 

my health, but I would be lying if I said I didn't 

want to Look better also and fit into my clothes.

It's taken me 6 months to get 26 pounds off.

I am thankful for my sister Linda and my friend,

Jane and my family for their encouraging me!

Yesterday my hubby and I spent most of the afternoon with my friend Jane and her friend Franklin.
Saturday was her birthday. We enjoyed sitting on her screened in back porch.

We had tea and pumpkin pie I had baked for her.

She always decorates for every season.
I took too many photo's to share today so
tomorrow for Friday Foto Friends, I will
try to post the photo's I took of her decorations.

A Friend and Friendship Tea

Tuesday my friend Jane, invited me to tea at her home.
We have been friends for 25 years,
and shared many fun, sad and happy times.

Even though it was raining and I don't like driving in the rain,

I drove the 40 minute drive to her home.

It's always a treat to visit her. She is a great and fun hostess.

We had our Lunch on her back screened in porch.

Chicken salad

A slice of fresh tomato,

and fruit.

Cucumber sandwich.

Lemonade

I tried to get a photo of the rain, but it just wouldn't show.

I had a cucumber sandwich for the first time,
and to my delight, it was good.

The cucumber came from her friends garden.

Banana nut cake! 

Tiny Lemon cakes

Of course, we had Tea!

After several hours of laughing together and good food,
and Tea, it was time for me to go.

" Ointment and perfume

rejoice the heart,

so doth the sweetness of a 

man's friend gives delight..."

Proverbs 27:9

Have a Blessed Day1
