THANKFUL TUESDAY

Good Tuesday Mornin' Yall,

I do hope everyone had a great Monday and ready to start a new day. It is 33 degrees here with a windchill of 30 degrees here this morning. We saw Sunshine yesterday and suppose to have Sunshine thru Thursday when there's a chance of rain. It actually felt nice outside yesterday afternoon. The wind wasn't blowing so that made the difference.

I bet yall are wondering why I chose "THANKFUL TUESDAY" for my Title this morning. I have so much to be Thankful for on this day. My Dear Hubby has found a new job. "PRAISE GOD"!!!! Hubby got to be home yesterday. They were suppose to be hauling some more corn from those long bags. He was on his way taking a load to the River in Osceola,AR and he called me a little after 8:00a.m. and was wondering what I was doing. I told him I was finishing up my coffee. He said he had talked to a guy from his previous employer and the guy told him they would hire hubby and his Uncle back as Team Drivers. They are to start their orientation on January 2, 2008. Another thing is that normally when they hire Team Drivers they start them out splitting 42 Cents a mile. The guy told hubby he would guarantee them 44 Cents a mile to split. Since hubby and Uncle had been Team Drivers for them before and knew they were good drivers and workers, they would be more than glad to have them back driving for them. "PRAISE GOD" for this pay also. He said they may have a dedicated run for them also. I pray they get a dedicated run because this way, they will have a set schedule. So this my friend is why I decided to call this my "THANKFUL TUESDAY". A prayer very much answered. This is truly a wonderful and the best Christmas Gift I will receive this year. A true gift from GOD. I know many of you have been praying for my wonderful hubby and I want to "THANK" each and everyone of you that has been praying for him. I so appreciate it very much. Words cannot express how much I am "THANKFUL" for all of your prayers. May God Bless Each and Everyone of You. I am praying that 2008 will be a better and brighter year for us. Times have been hard on us this year, but we stuck together and made it thru it with our LOVE for each other and our COMMITMENT to each other. "GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD". Hubby has to leave out today and will hopefully be home again on Friday or Saturday. Yesterday morning when they were getting the corn out of those bags, someone sunk the buggy they were hauling the corn from. When he first went to work yesterday morning around 7:00a.m. the ground was still frozen. Then as the temperatures started warming up, the ground began to thaw. We have had alot of rain around here lately and it was very muddy. Hubby said the guy driving the tractor and pulling the buggy went to get some corn to load in a truck and it just sank really deep. So, hubby got home a little after 11:00a.m. yesterday and his boss called him shortly after 12:00p.m. and told him to go out since it was too muddy to haul the corn. So, he is leaving out this morning. I will miss him as always, but I know he has to work to keep an income coming into our home.

Last night for our supper I fixed Taco's. We had Soft Shell Taco's and Hard Shell Taco's. They were delicious. It had been a good while since I had fixed Taco's, so I decided to fix them. Hubby loves Taco's. I had first planned on fixing Tacorita's. My blogging friend, Barb, A Chelsea Morning, had posted the recipe one day last week and they looked so good. I had told hubby about it Friday night. Well, Sunday night I was showing it to the girls. Our youngest daughter said she just wanted regular Taco's, so hubby said for me to fix just regular Taco's. So, that is what I did. After supper was over with, the aroma from the Taco's had the house smelling so good. There was some left as I had made a big batch, so me and the girls will have them for our supper again tonight.

I want to "CONGRATULATE" Pea from Pea's Corner for winning the Giveaway that Amy at Bunny Rose Cottage. Amy's husband drew Pea's name on Sunday night and Amy announced the winner yesterday. "CONGRATULATIONS" Pea on your Giveaway. Even tho I have never won a Giveaway, I still have fun entering them.

Also, Hootin' Anni had presented me with "Your Blog Is A Treasure Award" over the weekend. I am now going to pass this Award on to Renie of Renie Burghardt's World, Kansas Rose of Prairie Farmeress, Lib of Lib's Private Paradise, Dawn of Call Me Grandma Dawn, and Joyce of Creation in Progress. A couple of these ladies are new blogging friends of mine, and I want to let them know that I really enjoy visiting their blogs and feel right at home. "CONGRATUALTIONS" to all the one's I passed it on to. I will stop by your blog after I have finished posting and Award you with this.

I have also been tagged by Mary of Mary's Writing Nook and Hope of Second Time Around for a Christmas Hoopla. "THANK YOU" both for tagging me. I will do the Christmas Hoopla later on today and post it then. I have to do some thinking on it.

Another Award I received was the "Bodacious Blog Award" from Grams at Talk to Grams. "THANK YOU" so much Grams. I am going to do as Gram's did and pass this Award on to everyone of my blogging friends as well. So ladies, when you read this, please be sure to take this Award and post it on your sidebar. "CONGRATULATIONS" to all of my blogging friends. I hope you enjoy your new Award.

The girls are getting out early today. They went all day yesterday. Our youngest daughter told us they get out at 1:15p.m. today and then at 1:45p.m. tomorrow. I think she may have it turned around. But anyway, I told them they didn't have to go to School today or tomorrow. They both said they wanted to. Now imagine that, when I tell them they don't have to go to School, they want to go and when they have to go, they don't want to go. Oh well, I'm glad they are wanting to go. They aren't doing much this week. I think they are wanting to go so they can be around their friends and have fun.

Well, I guess that's about all for this "THANKFUL TUESDAY". I do hope that everyone has a great Tuesday. May God Bless Each and Everyone of You. I think I will go visiting now and see who wants to share a cup of coffee with me this morning. Take care my friends and stay warm.

LOVE & HUGS,
