Christmas Season Greetings,

 Sweet Friends,

Hello, hope you are having fun with your

Christmas plans and doings! We have been

 decorating most of the week, and not

 quite finished yet......but getting there, and

 enjoying every minute of it.............Also, started

 workingon some Christmas cards today too.

Pictures today are of our

 Thanksgiving table for 2024.

#1

Thankful for a lovely Thanksgiving with our Son,

 lil darling and my SIL Susan. Great food, great company and a lot of " PIT"  

playing and laughter. If you've never played

pit before, it's a really fun game, and you

need to have at least 4 people.

#2

Thankful that we were able to get all our Fall decorations taken down, and put away as well.  Shew!

I am a whipped.....but glad it is all done.

#3

Thankful for Thanksgiving leftovers, so I

 didn't have to cook tonight or get take out.

#4

Thankful that all the dishes and leftovers

from Thanksgiving are done, and things

are put back where they belong.

#5

Thankful that we have all the Christmas

decor in the house, so we can start our

Christmas decorating. Got started in on

Monday but not quite finished yet.

Hopefully by tomorrow..........

#6

Thankful that we heard back from quite

a number of folks we e-mailed Thanksgiving

flip cards to.....some we don't hear from often,

so that was fun.

#7

Thankful for our head elder as he did

the sermon this Sunday. It was on our

identity in Christ and it was really powerful.

He will follow up with more the next 2

weeks, so looking forward to it.

#8 

Thankful for the idea the Lord gave me

to do something to help cheer our neighbor

up, since she is missing her daughter who

she hasn't seen in probably 6 or 7 mos.

cause she moved away. 

#9

Thankful for something cute we saw on the

 way to church that just made us laugh.

  It was a small Egret bird, usually seen around the beach or water.

Anyway, he was walking across the street, in

 the crosswalk, and got half way across and

 stopped as we were turning, so he waited.

 and hubby looked in his rearview mirror and

 he just marched on across the street. 

 It was like he knew exactly what he was

 doing!!  lol  So stinking cute!

#10

Thankful our Christmas tree is all decorated

thanks to lil darling, She put all the 

ornaments on, hubby did the topper and

we all draped it with beads. It looks

so pretty, and she was thrilled, and 

so were we. !!

Here's a lil look............

#11

Thankful that hubby got the outside lights

up on the house, and our manger scene up.

Still has to put a few spiral trees up

tomorrow, that we decided to add this year

 It's all looking great!!  Hubby is such

a blessing as he is always so helpful.

#12

Thankful we know Jesus and that He is

definitely the Reason for the Season.

If it weren't for Him there would be 

no such thing as Christmas!!

and how sad would that be...........

even sadder, no eternal life either!

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

Well, That's it for Cozy Place Today.

Thanks for coming by 

and

Hope you are enjoying this

 Most Wonderful time of the year

Love, Hugs, and

Early December Blessings,

Thankful Thursday November 28, 2024, and a previous Thanksgiving Table

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.        Psalm 100:3 NIV

Happy Thanksgiving

 Sweet Friends,

May the Lord bless you with 

a wonderful day with your

 family/ friends or furry friends. 

So looking forward to the day.

Pictures today are from a Thanksgiving 

table from the Past. Sorry for some reason

my brain thought you would get to see

this before Thanksgiving, in case you

were still looking for ideas...........oh well.  lol

So on with my Thankfuls..........

#1

Thankful that we are all unpacked and

squared away quickly from our trip.

#2

Thankful that we could do an Aldi instacart

shopping, as we didn't feel like going out and

it's not the most fun shopping experience either,

but they have great prices, and we learned about

 some great finds there from our girl.

#3

Thankful to see lil darling today, and having a good school day, and she loved a few lil things

 we brought her back.

#4

Thankful our poinsettia is starting to turn red so maybe it will be totally red before Christmas.

#5

Thankful for some really great bread our

Daughter had that she used to make us Ham

and Turkey Sandwiches with.  It is a sour

dough bread with everything bagel seasoning,

that she got at Aldi.  It is really good, and

we are now hooked on it............lol  Made some

ham and turkey sandwiches last night. Yum!!

#6

Thankful to have our tree up,  but won't 

decorate it till after Thanksgiving, since

we still have all our Fall decor up.

#7

Thankful I got my curtains changed back to

 my older ones until Spring., The Spring/Fall

 ones won't go well with Christmas colors at all.

#8

Thankful we watched our first Christmas movie of the year. It was on Up faith and family and was called "The Christmas Caterer", I think.

  Very enjoyable movie

#9

Thankful that we were able to attend the funeral of a fellow who was a long time friend of my Son's, that he met through a lot of his friends. He was only 47 yrs. old and it was very sudden.  He was a very sweet and funny/comedic fellow, and he will surely be missed. It was good to see his parents and sister, as they used to attend our church years ag, and all his friends as it has been awhile.

#10

Thankful for a lovely walk tonight in the 

cool weather and saw a beautiful sunset.

#11

Thankful I am working on our Thanksgiving

table today, and sending out some Thanksgiving

cards via email.

Note:  Table is all ready............

#12

Thankful for our sweet younger neighbor who

helped us get 2 mattresses to the curb.

Hubby could do it but I couldn't because

their were no handles or anything to hang

on too.  He actually brought his teen son

with him,  so neither of us had to do it.,

Such a sweet and thoughtful young man

who has been through a lot of hardship.

#13

Thankful that our Thanksgiving food is ready,

all I will need to do is pop it all in the 

oven and bake it.  So looking forward to it.

Well, that's it for this week here at Cozy Place

Glad you stopped in,

and 

Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend.

Love, Hugs and

Thanksgiving Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday November 21, 2024, and Fall desserts

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

 Hebrews 13:`15

Greetings  Sweet Friends,

How are you doing this fine evening.  Doing

quite well, I hope.

We just got home late last night from 

 South Carolina.  We went to visit with our

 Daughter,  Son-in-love and Furry Grandson Dog,

and just had the best time as always.  We came

 home rested, refreshed and with my cup full

of love and Joy.

Pictures today are of  Yummy Fall Desserts

compliments of  Unsplash.

Now on with my Thankfuls.................

 

#1

Thankful to have made a trip up and back to  South Carolina   Safe and sound and uneventfully. Praise the Lord.

#2

Thankful that we can come and stay with them for a week every so often.  We always have such a great time.  Nothing like being with  your grown up kiddles.

#3

Thankful to get to meet all the ladies

my Daughter works with,  now I have a face

to put with a name.

#4

Thankful my hubby was able to get a heart

cat scan done at the imaging center where

our daughter works.  We think all is fine,

just gotta wait to hear it from the heart Doc.

#5

Thankful for the fun of playing cards and yatzee together, and watching Dry bar comedy and a golf cart ride.

#6

Thankful for the wonderful cream cheese and strawberry coffee cake our Daughter always makes and blesses us with every trip. It is so delcious, and we always look forward to it.

#7

Thankful for the fun of going to see a lovely

2 story home that was having an open house

in their neighborhood.  Looks like an HGTV

house.  I love their neighborhood cause there

is nothing cookie cutter about it,  homes

range from small bungalows and cottages, 

ranch style, Craftsman style, modern, farmhouse and huge beach and modern homes and more.

Very interesting and charming area.  

#8

Thankful for a fun time for all of us out Christmas shopping at their lovely outdoor outlet mall.  It was just the right amount of cold, and they even had their Christmas tree up,  so we all enjoyed it so much. 

 #9

Thankful they treated us to dinner at Carabbas

 to celebrate our Anniversary afterwards, and

 for the lovely and meaningful card.

#10

Thankful for the cooler weather. It was so

enjoyable and felt like Fall/ Winter weather.

Delightful.

#11

Thankful we decided to make an early

Thanksgiving dinner since the kids can't

be with us this year for Thanksgiving.

It was nice we got to prepare it together

which is fun for us, and then got to eat

it of course.  It was nice, so think this

could become a tradition on those years

they can't come.....Don't know why we 

haven't thought of it before.

#12

Thankful for God's goodness to us,

and love that so many are putting up their

Christmas decorations already.  We found

a radio station on the way home from there

that was playing Christmas music, so

we got to listen and sing to Christmas

music half the way home.  I think that is

a sign our country is more hopeful.

That's it for Cozy Place Today.

This is the Anniversary-Vacay edition.  

Happy you stopped by......

Have a great rest of the week.

Love, Hugs, and 

Mid November Blessings
