Thankful Thursday February 13, 2025, and Valentine's decorations from the past
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 NIV
Valentines Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope you are having a fun time thinking about how you
can make those you love feel special. I am trying!!!
I made a Duncan Hines strawberry cake for
my hubby and lil darling......
It looked and sounded delightful, but much to our surprise
it doesn't taste like strawberry at all.....and really doesn't
have much taste. I made a bundt cake cause they both
tend to not like icing, So was just gonna garnish it with
whip cream and a strawberry, so it was very disappointing
to say the least. So thankful we decided to have a slice
last night. Thankfully their cards came out well!! lol
So looking for plan B, now..........lol
Pictures today are of Valentine's Decorations from the past
here at Cozy Place. I didn't decorate this year, and have to
say I missed it.........lol
So on with my Thankfuls.............
#1
Thankful for another good school day.
Also got to spend some time talking with our Son,
when he drops her off and picks her up. Always
happy to see both of them.
#2
Thankful for our home, and our nice comfy bed
every night.
#3
Thankful for a quick dinner since we had rotisserie
Chicken, and our "potato Express" bag. I can
cook reg. or sweet potatoes in that bag in the microwave
in 4 mins. and they come out perfect. then just threw
together a salad real quick, and dinner was done.
#4
Thankful for a productive day. Worked on
some cards, Baked some cookies, worked out in
the backyard some, and actually sat out there for
awhile with hubby, which was nice, haven't done that
in awhile, put dinner in the oven, and then topped it
off with a nice bike ride, and another one later this week.
#5
Thankful I got to talk with my friend whose husband
had all the surgeries in the passed 6 months, (he is
doing okay but his recovery is of course, way slower
than he anticipated. He forgets he's 78 and thinks
he is gonna spring back like he did after surgeries he
had 20 years ago. It was a fun chat.....as she
hasn't had much time to talk with all that has been
happening with them lately.
#6
Thankful we can watch our church from home.
Wasn't feeling good this morning, so nice to
be able to sleep a lil more then watch it on TV.
Being there is much better tho.
#7
Thankful for the start of the Super Bowl
Game where they sang "America the Beautiful"
and a good rendition of the "National Anthem.
Congrats to the Winners...........

Thankful Thursday February 6, 2025, More Winter Decor
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
Psalm 28:7
Hello Sweet Folks,
Can you believe it is February 6th already??
Actually it does seem like Christmas was eons ago! lol
Does it seems like that to you too??
Hope you are having a good week where ever you
live........it's like Spring here in Florida, even
our Azalea's are confused and blooming. lol
Saw that Pawtuxet Phil says we are having
6 more weeks of Winter, and I hope he's right,
cause can't stand the thought of hot weather so soon. lol
Pictures today are of more Winter Decorating
at Cozy Place...........
So on with my Thankfuls..................
#1
Thankful for the Presidential Prayer Team.
We can sign up for it to know specific things to
pray for with the new Trump Administration.
He surely needs prayer for safety for he and
his team, but this goes even beyond that, and it
is nice to know what is happening daily, so we
can prayer for those specific needs. If you
sign up it will come in your email box daily.
We highly recommend it
#2
Thankful that our Son put us onto someone
that might can replace our vanity, counter and sink
in our bathroom. So gotta check that out.
#3
Thankful for a great movie we saw called "Unsung Hero".
It is about the Mother of the Christian Group
"For King and Country,. It is really a good movie,
and she truly was an unsung hero. So neat that her kids
made this movie about her faith and their family.
#4
Thankful for Dr. Pepper, don't drink it often,
but had some tonight with pizza and it was so good.
Felt I could leave this up by replacing "Have a holly jolly Christmas"
with "Winter is not just a Season, It's a celebration" lol
#5
Thankful that something that was supposed to happen
this week, Now isn't going to happen!! lol
#6
Thankful for another good school day with lil darling.
Can't believe she is gonna be 12 soon.........
#7
Thankful that Mexico and Canada were persuaded
to help the U.S. with this Fentanyl crisis.
#8
Thankful that I am liking tuna fish again.
Some years back I just completely lost my taste
for tuna fish an have not had it in years. So last
week when we were at Publix, I decided to try
some of their readymade tuna salad, just to see
if I would like it............it was delicious, so
bought some tuna and made my own, and it too,
was delicious.............
#9
Thankful for my first smoothie that I typically
make in March or April, but it is 81 degrees out
and it just sounded so good, and it was yum!
(It consists of fresh strawberries, banana and
peaches with a lil bit of frozen vanilla yogurt
with some pecans and coconut throw in.
Gives me lots of energy, as well, as enjoyment!!
#10
Thankful for a good report at the dentist after
going for my cleaning today. Always nice
to get a good report.
#11
Thankful for a fun and delicious reward after going
to the dentist. lol It was a new flavored smoothie
we got at Planet Smoothie today. It was
called " Banana Pudding" and it truly tasted
like Banana Pudding, so good, but it was sweeter
than our usual, but a nice and delicious change.
#12
Thankful for a fun day out going to "Hobby
Lobby" and "Home Sense "and then out to
dinner at our new fav Mexican Place. The
music wasn't as loud, which was great, but then the
food wasn't quite as good, lacking cilantro.....
and I love cilantro..........lol
but all in all it was great!
#13
Thankful that we just happened on a picture at
Hobby Lobby that was brightly colored and
will be delightful to use when I decorate for Spring
and it was paid for by a gift card my Daughter and
Son-in-love gave me for Christmas!
Merry Christmas Mom.....Love that!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.
Glad you made us a part of your day, and

Thankful Thursday January 30, 2025, and pictures of Winter decor
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope this finds you doing well, and not feeling too
lazy from all this cold weather. I have to confess
I have had a hard time being motivated on these
cold days, but we are back in the 70's and think
we are even going into the 80's this week, so that
should help get me moving again!! lol
Pictures today are of our Winter look in the family
room. Finally finished................whoo hoo!
It might still look a lil bit Christmasy in some
places, but I love it..........cause I love Christmas
and especially I love Jesus who it represents.
So on with my Thankfuls.....
#1
Thankful for elderberry w/ vitamin C gummies, B- complex
and listerine gargles along with prayers that have kept me from
getting really sick.
#2
Thankful for the visit with our long time friend Don,
we went out to dinner then we continued our visit until
12:30 pm., went to bed and visited all morning long,
and we had a nice breakfast here, and then he had to
get on the road. He is meeting his Daughter and her
family and they are going on a cruise for the week.
He might come back next week on his way back.
#3
Thankful that our Daughter and hubby faired
well in the snow storm last week. Still waiting
on it all to melt, and their doggie just loved it.
Note; Finally melted, but sure took it's
sweet time. lol
#4
Thankful for 2 free delicious subs from our Publix
Grocery store. We had called in an online order
and they were incredibly busy, and had not even
started our sandwich at the pick up time, so hubby
wound up waiting almost 45 mins., so they said
the subs were on them. (I have a sneaking suspicion
that we got them free because hubby is so understanding
and patient) Such a lovely surprise...........
and they were so good too!
#5
Thankful for a good day at church, our Lead Pastor
who is retiring spoke today. It is his last time to speak
to us as our Lead Pastor and it was such a personal
message to the congregation. Sweet and Funny
at times. Sad but hopeful, but he will be filling in
for the other Pastors at times. He and his wife
were such a blessing...........
#6 and 7
Thankful for the wonderful tribute and farewell
send off, they gave to he and his lovely wife.
It was supposed to last from 5-7 p.m. and
we only got to stay for the first part which was
only supposed to last about an hour or so, but
didn't end until 7 and they still had a fellowship
with dessert and snacks after that. It was
really a blessing to be a part of, so much love
in one room. Awesome!
Thankfully we had gotten to talk to he and his
wife in the morning after church, cause we had to
leave at 7 as we had plans to go out to dinner
with our Son and lil darling. Thankful we
all got to go out to dinner together, and we also
got to see our favorite server.......lol
#8
Thankful for another good school day with
lil darling. She is great about staying on task.
#9
Thankful for chocolate pudding pie. I made
it in like 5 mins. and it was so yummy. Haven't
had it in years.........
Easy peasy, just get a graham cracker pie crust,
whip up some instant chocolate pudding and put it
in the pie crust, add some whip cream and your done.
Our Mom's used to make pudding and jello all
the time as desserts when we were kids.
#10
Thankful for an absolutely gorgeous sunset I
saw on Tuesay evening, pinks, peaches and lavendars,
breathtasking!!
#11
Thankful that President Trump visited the
Western North Carolina area last week, and
that I saw a reel on facebook, where they were starting
to get help. It said, "Here comes the Calvary",
and showed a ton of dump trucks lined up to start
clean up.....Awesome!! It's about time!!
#12
Thankful that I have been in process of making
Valentine's cards for my family. Have a
couple that are completed, but more to go.....
Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.
Thanks for stopping by.........
Why not share something
YOU are thankful for today??
Love, Hugs and
End of January Blessings,
Nellie
