Miscellany Monday--Thankful

1.  Chelsea's surgery went as well as a surgery could...praise God!

The first 2 days were rough for her, and she didn't do anything but lay in this spot on the couch eating ice cream to her hearts content (what a treat that is!)

And this is her this morning---praise God!  Not all the way better, but just about there. 

We are so glad that after 21 months of trying to make this surgery happen, it's finally over--the narcotics, the antibiotics, the pain, the sleepless nights, the wasted time spent on the phone with dentists and insurance companies is all gone---shall I say it again? 

Praise God!

2.  We made Thankful Trees--they are mixed media collages and we LOVE them so much.  

Can you guess whose is whose?  I made one, and so I think it's pretty obvious after you decide which is mine. : )

3.  We have more than 500 Prevacid solutabs coming our way thanks to sweet blog readers, Facebook friends, and our good Lord who never fails to meet our NEEDS. 

4.  I don't think I mentioned how much we love our dog lately.  He is such an awesome dog and we're so blessed to call him ours!

5.  And because a November post is not complete with what little evidence of Fall we have in Southern California, here are, once again, my neighbor's beautiful trees.

I am so thankful for them...they are simply stunning....the only way I could love them more is if they were on our lawn ; )

the magnificence of God's handywork is all around me....what an amazing gift!

I'm linking up with Carissa

If I don't get to post again, I hope you all have a

Blessed Thanksgiving

filled with all the things and people you are thankful for!
