Thankful Thursday July 10, 2025, our simple easy 4th of July table
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1 NIV
Greeting Sweet Friends,
I am thinking I probably don't
need to ask how your week was,
if it was like ours. We started
off feeling in high spirits and
happy, about the OBB bill,
seeing our old friends, and
4th of July, only to hear the sad
and heart wrenching news
about the Texas flash floods.
Feeling so sad for all those
who lost loved ones, especially
all those children. Reminds
me of the North Carolina floods
all over again. So thankful
for the gift of prayer and the
ability to give when you are
so far away, and that's all
you can do. We also heard
about another long time friend
who is having kidney and
heart problems this week
as well. That's life, things
happen, and you just have
to still look for the good
that is still there, and grieve
the hard stuff to the best
of your ability, but make
sure to include the Lord in
all of it........
Pictures today are of our
4th of July table this year.
It was simple and easy but
always beautiful when you
are using our American flag.
So on with my Thankfuls....
#1
Thankful that we had some long
time, dear friends come to visit
today. It was short but sweet as
always. We have known them for
44 years, and we always just pick
up where we left off. Great kind
of friends to have.
#2
Thankful that my sweet techy
hubby was able to help get them
on a much cheaper cell phone
plan that will save them about
$125.00 a month.
#3
Thankful for a fun afternoon
with our Son and lil darling.
Typical 4th of July food, and
some card playing, then they
were off to find some fireworks.
#4
Thankful that our sweet neighbors
across the street did a fireworks
extravaganza. So we just stood
outside and watched till we got
tired of the mosquitos, then we
came inside and watched. They
had some really good fireworks
that were almost like
professional ones.
#5
Thankful that it had rained earlier
in the day. Since we have a lot of
woods around us, I am always
concerned they could start a fire,
so it made it even more enjoyable
to know everything was wet.
#6
Thankful for a new series we found
called"A Thousand tomorrows" by
karen Kingsbury on Pureflix. Only
saw the first 2 episodes, but like
it so far. If you like horses and
rodeos you will probably like it.
#9
Thankful to see that
Tim and Demi Tebow's
baby girl made it into the world
safe and sound. Was fun seeing
pics on instagram.
#10
Thankful that hubby somehow
came across some old
Carol Burnette videos. Always
loved watching her shows as
I grew up. She was a hit at my
house as a kid, cause my Aunt
on my Mom's side looked a lot
like her. Her videos are still
funny to this day.
#11
Thankful that we just got an
email from hubbies heart Doctor
and he said there was no change
in his echocardiogram.
Which is great news.
#12
Thankful we rearranged our
family room which give us
a nice change of scenery.
Might had some coastal touches
if I can do it without redoing
the whole room. lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's it for this week at
Cozy Place.
Glad you could stop by.....
Have a Thankful rest of the week.
Love, Hugs,
and July Summer Blessings,
Nellie

Thankful Thursday June 27, 2025, and pictures of Gorgeous and Beautiful
The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our god endures forever.
Isaiah 40:8 NIV
Hello and Happy Thursday
Sweet Friends,
Hope you are off to a good Summer
season, so far. I am excited to get
out of the house later today, even if
it is just grocery shopping and errands
and you will read why....
Pictures today are of Gorgeous and
Beautiful our new "White Wedding
Hydrangeas", that we are so tickled
pink white about. lol Been trying
to grow hydrangeas for a long time
and had no luck, until these new sun
loving ones came along. They are in
the same family as "Lime Light
hydrangeas". Have to say that they
are clearly living up to their names.
Really didn't expect so many or so
large a bloom as these this year.
We have had them almost 2 mos.
now, as of June 30th. Have to say
they get very thirsty in that heat
tho.......so they have been a big
priority these last 2 months.
This is Beautiful, an she got off to a rough start because something broke off 3 of her limbs, and she was just a tad smaller than Gorgeous to start.
On with my Thankfuls.....
#1
Thankful that our Daughter and Son-in-love
made it back to SC safe and sound.
#2
Thankful to be feeling good again,
but got a relapse after I listed that,
on Monday, but am thankful to be
feeling good again today as I post
this........lol and the reason I am
so happy to get out of the house.
#3
Thankful for a new cereal we are really
enjoying, They are Blueberry rice Chexs.
A rice cereal with no wheat gluten added...............
#4
Thankful that "Gorgeous and Beautiful" are
at full bloom, and they even have some new
buds coming out, about 6 so far. They
are truly living up to their names, as you
can see from the pictures.
#5
Thankful for a Pastor we watch on Tv who
is from Tennessee, his name is Allen Jackson
and he is with World changers church and
we find him on TBN or Utube. Last night
his message was on the biblical perspective
of why we should support Israel. It was
very good.
#6
Thankful for better together show, it is
always such an uplifting show and like
sitting and talking with a bunch of ladies
with love and wisdom. Delightful.
#7
Thankful hubby is putting in some driplines
for Gorgeous and Beautiful, cause they need
water daily in the afternoon, and it is so
hot here. We have been doing it everyday
but just getting too hot.....Says 100 degrees
on our porch, and believe me it feels like it.
My body does not like this heat......
Note:
The drip lines are working out great,
Gorgeous and Beautiful seem happy,
and I never ceased to be amazed at
my hubbies skill set, don't know of
anything he can't do once he puts
his mind to it.
#8
Thankful President Trump is at the helm
of our country and that his heart is in
hand of the Lord according to
Proverb 21:1 NIV
and God directs it like a watercourse
wherever he pleases.
#9
Thankful for Dark chocolate Turtle
candy. They were always milk
chocolate before, and we enjoy
these so much more!
#10
Thankful that hubby got our van
serviced and worked on this week,
and thankful they did a great job
as usual. We have been going to
the same place for about 12 yrs.,
I would say. If your in the Orlando
area, it is Auto Nation of Winter Park.
(and I get no incentives or kickbacks
for telling you that) we are just
satisfied customers! lol
#11
Thankful for my cousin who is in
to family genealogy. I feel like I
always learn some tidbits of info
that I didn't know about my
Grandparents......this time he
told me that Pres. Truman used
to have breakfast at my Grand
parents and Dads diner when
he visited Key West, Florida.
They must have been thrilled.
(That was before I was born
or just a under 3 yrs. old)
#12
Thankful I happened to run into an
old blog post for Chicken salad (that
is like the old Chick-fil-a chicken salad
sandwiches, they used to sell)
Easy recipe too!
Click Here if you'd like the recipe.
That's all for Cozy Place this week folks,
Thankful you could spend some
time with us.
Have a lovely rest of the week,
Love, Hugs,
and last of June Blessings,
Nellie

Scripture Sunday
Sweet friend,
If you don't know Jesus yet......
I would strongly encourage you to seek Him now
why He can still be found. I came to know Jesus when
I was 14 yrs. old and I can honestly say there has not
been one day I have ever regretted that decision.
We should all be concerned about our eternal
destination......cause it is gonna come one day
and none of us know when it will happen, so
we need to be prepared. If you should have
questions about it, please feel free to email
me at Nelliescozyplace@gmail.com.
Love and Blessings,
Nellie
