Thankful Thursday March 9, 2017, Part 2 Golf cart tour of Charleston

 Unless the LORD builds the house,
 the builders labor in vain. 
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
 the guards stand watch in vain.

Psalm 127:1  NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

What cha' been up to lately??
Hope it has been more than 
I have.........lol


Not much going on here,
have been exceptionally drained
the last few days, and think it is 
the good ol' oak pollen as the trees
have just started shedding this 
week.it happens to me every year. 
 My mind really wants to get the
 Spring things out but my body is
 not in agreement unfortunately!
I always tend to forget about this
wonderful phenomenen each year,
that knocks my socks off.....lol

But it has really been a good 
week tho, in spite of it,  just not
a lot accomplished since my 
last post.........oh well, there is
always next week.........

Posting some more pictures 
from Charleston while on our
golf cart tour....hope you enjoy!

So on with it.....

I am thankful

#1

that I did not have to throw out a

big pot of Beef Stroganoff that I

was making for hubbies birthday

celebration. When I got the sour

cream (one of the ingredients) out

of the fridge I accidentally dropped

it, and just thought it split the side

of the container, as there was a lil

bit on the floor, but when I put it

in the pot and was scraping it out

with a spatula I saw there was a

whole the side of a postage stamp

in the very bottom.  So I dug thru

the sour cream in the pan and there

was nothing, so then I mixed it all

in and kept trying to find it but 0,

so then I thought of my gosh, that

plastic will melt into the food, so

told hubby and he came and helped

me and we took it out by big spoon-

fuls and checked a lil at a time and

we did the whole pot and we found

nothing.  So I thought maybe it went

under the fridge, so I got down on

my hand and knees to look as I said

a lil prayer, and I happened to look

right at a small pile of sour cream

under the kitchen table across from

the fridge, and on top was the small

square of plastic.......What a relief!!

and quick answer to prayer....and

the Stroganoff was yummy!!  lol

#2

for a great time with Scott, Megan

 Brooklyn and Susan for Hubby and

 lil darlings birthday celebration on

 Sunday.

#3
for a wonderful salad that we haven't 
had in quite awhile, made it for hubbies
birthday, and will definitely be having
it again soon.  It was from BH&G 
magazine some years back. Delish!!

#4

for some confetti poppers I just

happened on in Michael's crafts

and got for lil darling and hubby

to do on Sunday.  Who would

think these lil things would turn

out to be so much fun. Once I 

got home with them, I was think-

ing I should have gotten more as

 I just know lil one is gonna want 

to do it more than once. Well, 

fortunately, it turns out that you 

can refill them and do it again......

well we did them over and over and 

over again, and had confetti all over

 the living room and us, but we all

 had such a fun time with them.......

big mess, took hubby a 20-30 mins.

to vacuum it up

 but so worth all the fun!!  lol

We will probably be finding confetti

for quite a while,  just like the snow

we put on the Christmas tree....

#5

that hubby and lil darling seemed

to enjoy their celebration so much.

Always a nice feeling after you put

so much time, energy and work 

into it all...............

#6

that hubby's social security card

was finally approved once again,

For some reason because of an

error in who ever put it in the

computer, I guess.  They had my

hubby down as a non-citizen, he

went thru this when he signed up

for medicare and we thought it

was all straightened out,  but he

had lost his SS card years back,

and decided to get another one

since I had to go there to sign

up for medicare,  and so they

told him that day he would get

it in the mail in within 2 weeks,

only to call back the next day

wanting more info, so then he

had to go back last Friday and

it was still up in the air as to

if they were gonna approve it

or not.  So they called first thing

Monday morning and said he

was approved, and that it had

been changed in the computer.
Even tho, we feel led to persue
legal documentation to prove
his citizenship just in case.
Which is totally ridiculous...
but you do what you gotta do.

#7

for all those who prayed for us

about a resolution to this situation.
They are greatly appreciated.

#8
that I got to see an old neighbor
yesterday who moved away, but not
 too far away and who happened 
to be driving by, as I went to the 
mail box. We had a nice long chat,
and we plan to get together soon.
She is a riot...........so it is always
fun to talk with her.

#9
that a friend from church who 
had knee surgery about a month
ago is doing better. Saw her the
Sunday before last and she was
so down (so unlike her) and she 
was not doing well with theraphy, 
but there was a marked difference
this Sunday....So happy to see
that as she is a delightful lady,
and always so bubbly and
encouraging!  Course, we can
all have those times in our life.

Same house, just a closer look in
the 2nd picture.  For some reason
I just really liked this house, liked
the the brick and the way it sat
on the corner so nicely.  Just
very stately looking.

#10
for Land of Lakes spreadable
butter with olive oil and Sea
Salt.......it is delicious.  Love
it on toast or bagels.  It is
heart healthy and really was
not sure I would like it, 
thinking it would taste like
Olive oil,  but it has a great
taste, and only had three
ingredients, sweet cream,
olive oil and sea salt.

Disclaimer:
Just so you know I get NO
kickbacks or money for saying
that,  it is just a great product
that we really like....

#11
for many Good Nights of sleep lately
and that I woke up this morning!!  

#12
Last but definitely not least.....
that I am a child of God, and that He
takes good care of me, and that He
is always with me no matter what
is happening or where I go..........
What a wonderful things to know!!

Well, there you have it......
another week at Cozy Place....


Thanks for checking in....
and hope you enjoyed yourself.

Would love to hear from you,

Love, Hugs and
Cozy House Blessings,

Nellie
