~~ COF Thank You's for July ~~

It's July, so time to get a new Thank You Thread started!!

Who's gonna be first to share?

ME ME....I like being first!  LOL

My Chez Amis neighbors continue to be so supportive during my recovery period and thank you hardly seems enough.

So many COF neighbors have so many problems but I thank them for continuing to come on line to let us know how you and/or your family is doing.  That is the only way we know how to direct our thoughts and prayers.  And I speak from experience...sometimes it helps just to "sound off" and "talk".  So just remember, we are here for you.

Kay...my "on call" buddy.  Our neighbors do not realize how much physically limited you are these days and of course I am not telling.   lol  Inspite of your "issues" you continue to act as the Sunshine Chairperson and keep in touch with me and the rest of the COF.  You always find humor in my moaning and groaning stories about my therapist.  Thanks a bunch.

And Marian...my "been there, done that" sis that really knows what I am talking about.  God certainly blessed me with you...even though at times I think you are being to "over protective".  lol  

Charney has such a willing spirit but I have always been the little girl that said..."I can do it myself" and with my German heritage spirit, I continue to "do it myself".  But I do know if I want or need something, I can just call you.

I thank TOH for sending me the book...Almost Homemade at the perfect time.  I have had my fill of Ed's chicken dishes and this book has given us a LOT of options without chicken!!  Have you noticed that when a man cooks, he sends out for pizza or chicken???  Thanks to TOH, we had stroganoff last night.

Okay I get to be second. Terri I just got my mail today due to many reason. Thanks so much for the two cute cards. I also got the July/August summer special edition of Everyday food from Martha Stewart. Cool! I will dive into this during the week. Just got back from my grandaughters 5th birthday party and have SOOOOO much to do with going through the mail and stuff. Thanks again Terri!

 

 

What a nice surprise I got in todays mail from PatE....Thank you for the letter and lip gloss...That lip gloss looks really nice and something I will keep in my purse....I am sorry your back is hurting you now....I hope you feel better soon...

I hope you have nice vacation.. I sure you are counting the days for the time off and the visit with family...

I had to laugh at you comment about men and pain!! Women can take so much more and with men a sniffle is dead serious....Ron goes for cataract surgery Thursday... I am hoping that goes smoothly for him... I am not expecting any problems....

We have  a big family reunion coming up this weekend... It is a nice event, but to be truthful, I will be glad when the whole thing is over...We are going to the events Saturday, if Mom co-operates, and Sunday, just Ron and I... I have to do all the driving,etc. because of his operation...

I have been busy with things too.. July is a lot of appointments, mostly for Mom, the big reunion and Ron's cataract surgeries.....So I am trying to get caught up on things around the house and this week cleaning will be hit or miss...Mostly miss..LOL

Take care and thank you for thinking of me...I have to get a few things mailed to you all too....I have somethings I picked up here and there...Just have to get it boxed up and mailed.....LoL

Greetings from Arkansas. Went to the PO today to gather my mail from last week and had 2 beautiful anniversary cards from Pat (kity) and from Kay. Thank you both for thinking of us. Brian says thank you as well. I'm in the process of repacking to go to AL. I'm pretty much taking the same clothes. Amber lets me wash clothes, so I just take enough for about 4 days. Makes the traveling easier and lighter. I'll stay in touch while I'm gone. I'll have my iPad with me, so I'll still be around. I fly out Wednesday, so you probably won't here from me that day. Micki

Hi Pat E.  I want to take this moment to thank you for the nice letter and lip gloss you sent.  Sorry that you are having so many chanllanges and I know that with God's help you will soon be feeling much better.

I thought it was hot here, but I see where it is much hotter in so many parts of the country.

By now you should should soon be having your vacation.  I know that you are really looking forward to that.

 

Thanks again

 

Marian

Thanks Kay! I received your card today and it was sorely needed! Today was just a tough day - and Sid is the easy part! So down in the dumps and your card gave me a big hug! Thanks so much! Andrea

Thank you, Cindi, Pat E, And Marian for the 4th of July ecards!!! Yay!!!

I think the elves are getting ready for Christmas already.  They made a special stop at my house with a package and no name.  So Ms Elf  - I want to thank you for your kindness.

I got Patriotic Popcorn - how cool is that!

I how it last til the 4th.  

We are entertaining tomorrow so this will be gone before the fireworks hit the skies.

I want to thank the wonderfully kind person who took the time to send this to me!!

Karen, thanks for my accessories for the 4th of July Party!!  Not only did I receive the headpiece and necklace but a tablecloth, garland and heart shaped flag party picks.  I have not seen these before and LOVE them.  Everything in the package was to make us feel good and have the house look very festive.  And you didn't have to worry, it did get here in time.   Your smile was felt through the "goodies".  Thanks a bunch!!

I'll be happy to have you get back home but do hope that all is going well in Boston.  I know you will bring back stories.

ps...Sister Mary, I am so sorry that you are facing so many challenges right now but please know that your "neighbors" are thinking of you everyday.  And Lynn...how kool is that?  A Ms Elf??!!  but, I am no way near ready for her yet so let's just whisper, okay?  LOL

Thank you Cindi for the fourth of July e-card.

Hi Charney...

 

I received your package today when I got home from work!!! 

 

Thank you so much for the pouch of Seagram's Escapes Frozen Pina Colada!!!  I just recently saw these in the store but have not tried them yet.  It sure sounds good and I am sure it will be very refreshing on one of the very hot days we have coming up this week!!!

 

It looks like you have a $5 winner on one of the tickets!  Jim is going to check the bingo and the cross word tickets while he is at work tomorrow to see if you have anymore winners...hopefully you will!!!

 

Thanks again and I will talk to you soon,

 

Hugs,

Corinne

Thank you Marian, for the wonderful surprise I got in today's mail....I can hardly wait to sit down and look through the Biggest Loser recipes.. I am sure I will find some nice recipes...Thank you too, for the How Do I Feel Today Charts.... Today, I feel kinda warm and hot....It is almost 90 degree's here today and very humid... Thank you too, for the Scratch and Sniff Stickers and Lunch bag full of treats... The food in the lunch bad is really cute.. Almost too cute to eat... I am very anxious to try the Temp rite disposable baking thermometer.... I am going to try one out in a few minutes as I have a cake in the oven for the Reunion tomorrow....

Ron is doing good with his recovery from cataract surgery... The doctor said foggy vision is to be expected...So I am happy to say, Ron is doing well and feeling pretty good...His next surgery is July 19th...What a week that will be with appointments every day... I might change a few as it is just too much...

I hope all goes well with your drivers license....What these government workers don't think of to do to make our lives miserable...LOL

Take care and thank you for making my day special...

Love,

Mary

Marion, Thanks for the package! Your letter sounds like you have been busy. Some of the recipes look rally yummy, will be trying them for sure. I went to the chiropractor yesterday and my back feels a lot better today. My foot is getting better also.

I tried posting on COF fb but I'm unable to do so. Anyone else have this problem?

My thanks are to Nancy and Kay for all they do for the Circle of Friends.  You both are truly committed to our group.
