Scripture Sunday

 

Sweet Friend,

 I hope that  your hope is in the Lord 

during these crazy times in which we are living. 

 If not, you can always call out to Jesus today,

He just waiting to hear from you!

Hugs, 

Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 3, 2025, and Spring flowers

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Welcome to Thankful Thursday

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and happy

and enjoying some sunshine.  We

are in full swing for Spring here,

already 90 degrees today, I am concerned

we are in for a very hot  Summer!

Am sure hoping I am wrong as can be!!  lol

 So on with my Thankfuls....

#1

Thankful that I finally got all of our Winter Decorations down and packed away, 

 so now, I can start on Spring Decor.

#2

Thankful for a good school day on Friday with

lil darling. She has school dance to go to on Sat.,

 so can't wait to see pictures and how she liked it.

This is a first!!  

#3

Thankful for take out from Chili's on my birthday,

  Since we just got back a few days before, we were still tired after unpacking our suit cases and

 stuff and then packing up all the Winter decor,

 so take out was perfect and quite delicious as we haven't gotten anything from there in a 

long time.

#4

Thankful we can watch our church online,

when we were away, but also this Sunday

cause I feel like I am trying to come down

with something. I was freezing this morn

and sneezing and coughing my head off,

and having a gripy tummy, so we decided

we best stay home.

#5

Thankful lil darling enjoyed her dance.

Actually it was a dinner and a dance.

She looked stunning and had a good time

Here's our lovely lavender flower below.

#6

Thankful for another good school day

and that she had a lil extra time so 

she got to do our Easter tree, and a

lil bit of the Easter decorating.

We always enjoy that time....

#7

Thankful that I am getting started 

on the Spring decorating as well.

Note: just about finished,  just got

to pack up the leftovers.

#8

Thankful for the Presidential Prayer chain

and I hope all Americans will realize how

blessed we are and keep on the prayers for

Our Country and current Administration.

#9

Thankful I am almost done decorating

for Spring/Easter.  Always love doing

it, but then always glad when it is

finished as well.

#10

Thankful for my dear hubby as he is

so understanding about trying to cook

while I am trying to get the house

together again.  So he is good with

take out or subs.

#11

Thankful that our Daughter and hubby

got to their Lake House safely,  They had

to take some things up there and do a

few things, but then get to enjoy it

as well.  Such a blessing.

#12

Thankful for dental picks that keep 

my teeth and gums healthy.  They are

so much quicker and easier to use

than dental floss, plus I haven't liked

the new wide dental floss they have

now, which prompted the change.

Well, that's all for this week at

Cozy Place.

Happy you came by

and

have a lovely rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and

Early Spring Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday March 27, 2025, and pictures of Charleston SC

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

Ephesians 3:16 NIV

Spring Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are totally able to enjoy Spring where

 ever you live. We sure have been.....

We just got back from SC last night, and we had

sort of cool Spring weather, which was delightful,

probably the last of the cool weather we will see

here in Florida, as it is 82 here today.

Pictures today are of Charleston, South Carolina

compliments of Unsplash.  Gotta love rainbow row.

and a few of our own.....lol

On with my Thankfuls...................

#1

Thankful for a safe and uneventful trip to

 Charleston, SC  and back, to see our Daughter,

 Son-in-love and furry Grandson dog, Bentley.

So happy to be here........

#2

Thankful for another sunny beautiful day 

and sitting outside while catching up and

resting up from our trip up.  The day we

went there it was a sunny and beautiful

azure blue sky with no clouds anywhere,

all the way from Florida to South Carolina.

We couldn't believe it....cause it was right

after all those storms.

#3

Thankful for a really yummy dinner at a place called

"Page's "Okra Grill" in Mount Pleasant, SC

My meal was  grilled Maui, fried Okra,

 mac n' cheese and hushpuppies. and we split a piece of 

Peanut butter pie.  Every bite was totally delicious. 

 We want to go again before we go home.

Note: We did go again for my birthday dinner

and we got take out for Sunday Brunch, 

 All wonderful!  Could not say enough about

this restaurant.  Service was excellent as well,

and they had this big adirondack chair which

reminded us to take a few pictures.  If we

look a lil rough it's cause we were tired and

hungry after traveling all day.  lol

Me and Hubby

Dee and Hubby Jerry - there were 2 pics

and unfortunately he had his eyes closed 

in both, and we got called to our table,

 so that was that.  He's cute anyway.

Me and Dee - We wanted to get in the

chair but I was afraid I might not be

able to get out!!  lol

#4

Thankful for brownie Sundae's made with

 a clean brownie mix called "Simple Mills" 

Almond flour baking mix.  We are all trying

 to eat with more wholesome ingredients,

 and every time we find something new

we all get excited.  lol

Oh, and the brownies were delicious with

 vanilla frozen yogurt.

#5

Thankful for a new HGTV "Home Town show" 

with Ben and Erin Napier, where they are

working to restore a city here in Florida that

has sort of died because they built a major 

highway around it, which just caused the

downtown area to die.  It is in "Sebring

Florida".  Really enjoying the series so far.

Course, we love anything Ben and Erin do!! 

#6

Thankful for our Daughters ham and scallion

 quiche and strawberry and cream cheese

 coffee cake.  Our favorites that she makes us

 every time we come.

#7

Thankful for yogurt bowls my Daughter has

 been making us. They are delicious and a great 

healthy breakfast.  Think they will become a

staple at our house now too.

#8

Thankful that we are getting to celebrate our

 birthdays with our Daughter and hubby.

  Hubbies has passed and mine is coming next

 week, but I will be home by then.  

#9

Thankful for a fun day out shopping.  We went

 to a clothing store we had never been to,

called "Versona".  I have never even heard of it, 

 but it was such a fun store. Lots of brightly

 colored clothing, and the cutest hats, (like those

 Princess Kate and the English people wear, some

were a lil bigger)  but they were adorable,  Dee 

thought they might be for the Ky. derby, because

 a lot of people in Charleston have Derby parties.

They could be for Easter too!

They also had shoes and jewelry.  There prices

 were pretty reasonable too, so I got a pretty

 solid lime green colored linen blouse for my

birthday which should be great for spring

 and summer. The store was just a visual

 delight, and once I was home I was sorry 

I didn't think to take a few picture to show

 yall, especially of those hats.............lol

# 10 and 11

Thankful for long talks, sitting outside in the sun

(my legs are more tanned now)  and the shade,

when the sun got too hot, game playing, cooking

 (for us girls)  Watching HGTV's  "Home Town" 

as they fix up Seabring, Florida, and dry bar 

comedy (that made my sides hurt, we were 

laughing so hard) and March Madness

 (for the guys) and riding around in a beautiful

neighborhood, that is just so southern looking,

and  just the sheer fun and delight of being

 together.

#12

Just so thankful we got to go visit them for a week. 

 It was the perfect birthday gift for me, as I will be

 Turning 73 in a few more days. So thankful we

can still do that.  The whole week was just lovely

and couldn't have been any better.....We had the

best weather, most all were sunny and clear blue

skies, with temps 70 degrees are less, 

The Lord just really blessed our week together!

and as much as we love going there (our home

away from home) we love coming home too!!

Always nice to sleep in your own bed....even

tho the other bed is comfy too!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Well,  that's it for this week.........

This is theVacation and  Birthday Edition.

Thanks for your visit

and

Have a lovely Weekend

Love, Hugs and 

Last of March blessings,

Thankful Thursday March 20, 2025, pics of our guest bath refresh

Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,

and righteousness looks down from heaven.

 The Lord will indeed give what is good,

and our land will yield its harvest.

Psalm 85:11-12 NIV

Happy First Day of Spring Sweet Friends,

It's finally here, course, that doesn't mean

we might not have some more cool weather,

but it's should be nicer out where ever you

are I would think....anyway!

Hope this finds you doing well.....been a 

good week here.....

Pictures today are of our Spring guest bathroom

refresh using what I had and spending 0 $$. 

Decided to use white and periwinkle blue

accents this time and found a new way to

fold the towel online.

Now on with my thankfuls......

#1

Thankful I have started to take down our

Winter decor....

#2

So thankful for the gift of being entrusted

and able to have our only Grandchild, lil darling

for at least one or two days a week since

 she was a baby. It has been such a blessing

these 12 years, and we have even read where

grandparents that are involved with their

grandchildren even live longer.  So it's a

double blessing!!  lol

#3

Thankful that our friends Dad who is 102+ yrs.

got out of the hospital yesterday (Thurs.) and seems

 to be doing well.  He had the RSV flu and was

in the hospital for 4 days.

Note:  As of Sunday, He is very weak and still

 at home but having trouble breathing. So hoping

he is gonna be okay.

#4

Thankful that Space X went up to get those

poor stranded astronauts today (Friday)

So praying all goes well, and they are able

to get home to their families.  We actually

got to watch it go up and saw the rocket 

booster fall off,  and then once it was out

of sight we came in and watched a lil of

it on TV. 

#5

Thankful for a phone call with a long time

friend this week.  Always great to talk

with her and to hear they are doing well,

as her hubby was sick for Months and

had 2 operations.

#6

Thankful for another phone call from a

 shorter-long time friend.  It was great to

hear from her too,  her hubby is about to

retire next weekend.  So they are trying

to decide what their next move will be.

  #7

Thankful for "Lil Caesars" muffin pizzas.

I love the cheese ones and they are so

good and so filling. That was din din

for Sat. night with a salad.

#8

Thankful for another great day at church

and one of our younger pastors spoke on

the Beatitudes, Matt. 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart for they 

shall see God.

 I loved that he gave an example of 

having a pure heart before God by

using each of our Pastors as an example,

which had to be an encouragement to 

each of them, and because it is so true...

We have 7 of the best Pastors, and we

love everyone of them, and are so grateful

for them and their wives, and children

for those that do have children.

#9

Thankful for lunch out just the two of us

at Olive Garden, 

#10

Thankful for another good school day,

#11

Thankful for an absolutely gorgeous cloudless

azure blue sky all day long.  So Beautiful.

#12

Thankful that the stranded astronauts are

back on earth and hopefully with their families

by now.

Note: Heard they sent them to Dallas to be

evaluated to make sure they are doing well.

That's it for Cozy Place this week.

Have a lovely day, and thanks for making

us a part of it.............

Love, Hugs, and

Mid March Blessings,
