            On with my Thankfuls.....

#1 

Thankful I am rereading the most lovely book that was gifted to me years ago from a sweet blog friend

It is called "A Thousand gifts" by Ann VosKamp. Every since I recieved it, on my coffee table it goes every  Spring, at some point because the front has a bird nest of it.....

love that, and the book itself, is wonderful and eye opening.

#2

Thankful for that eye opening as

I caught a glimse of what she was

talking about just moments after

reading again. I found myself

looking at the morning light

sparkling and streaming thru the window and realizing what a true gift it is, as it made me feel

 how dependable, faithful, loving,

 and creative our God is.

 We can count on him, because he brings us a beautiful sunrise 

every single morning and a 

beautiful sunset every evening,

 and we can count on that daily, 

and it is a sign to us "I love You,

 I am here now and everyday!

#3

Thankful for the sermons our

Pastor has been teaching on

spiritual warfare the last 3

 weeks,  they have been excellent.

#4

Thankful for Z88.3 our Christian

 radio station. Love the music and love

 that I many times wake up during

 the night singing it in my head.

#5

Thankful to hear from one of my best friends finally, as I had tried to call and left a voice mail, and also tried again by text, the next day, but heard nothing back from her until  today. Was about to try again because I was starting to get a bit concerned, then she called. Yay!

#6

Thankful our Daughter and 

Son-in-love made it up to their

lake house safe and sound.

Had to go up to do a lil sprucing

up that the normal housekeepers

don't do, and have a few days to

just enjoy it as well.

#7

Thankful that no one was hurt

physcially at that White House

Correspondence Dinner. I am

sure it emotionally took it's toll.

I just can not believe we have

come to this point in America.

It is so very sad, but God, 

certainly had his hand on things

once again........Thank You Jesus.

#8

Thankful that  Susan did not hurt herself, as they found her on the

 floor during the night.  She forgets

she can't walk at times, and she

is having a lot of confusion at night.

#9

Thankful for a long conversation with our son, on the phone.  That is rare and his Dad and I enjoyed it very much.

#10

Thankful that we got some rain

 this week.  We really needed it.

#11

Thankful for yogurt bowls which are really perfect for  Spring and Summer, I think anyway.  Blueberries, strawberries, dried cranberries, nuts and granola.

Full of yummy goodness!

#12

Thankful that my "Anthrium plant" 

is looking so healthy.  Had her in the house and she was started to look a little peaked, so watered her good and put her on the porch and she  looks amazing now!!

She need a bit of sunlight, just

like my  Son said. lol

......and he knows cause he works

in the Agriculture field, and 

used to be a grower!

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

That's it for Cozy Place this week!

Thanks for coming by, hope you

have a lovely week ahead.

Love, Hugs and 

last day of April Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 23, 2026, with Spring Illustrations

He has made everything Beautiful

in His time.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV

Good Morning Sweet Friends,

How are you doing? Well, I hope.

Hope you are enjoying your Spring weather

where ever you live.  Been a lovely week

here.  Also, the last half of the week has

 been a bit lighter emotionally, as well. 

 Susan seems to be more lucid this week, 

even tho she is still very forgetful about

 the recent past, and despite, no improve-

ment with her legs. She seems better in

some ways, and more content now, that

 she is not having to do therapy and the 

other things comfort care allows, and 

for that we are very grateful.

On with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful Susan's lawn man did

her yard and will be staying on.

Another base covered.

#2

Thankful that Susan's new nite 

gowns came today and some more

 will come tomorrow. These will

hopefully make her more comfy.

Note:  They are making her more

comfy it seems.

#3

Thankful for a nice comfy bed to 

climb into at the end of the day.

Just feels heavenly...........

#4

Thankful for a sweet and fun time 

with our Son and Lil darling over

the weekend.  We had a salad and

pizza night, did some card playing

and watched some "neighborhood watch"

and some dry bar comedy. Have to

say hubby and I really needed that,

it is always a blessing but even more

so this week, as it has been a bit of

a heavy week.

#5

Thankful our Son was so sweet to cut

some branches off our Oak tree out back,

and it looks so much better as it has 

sort of been bugging me.  lol

#6

Thankful for Pixabay and "Unsplash"

where I get all the delightful pictures

for my blog and greeting cards.

                 

 #7

Thankful for our good old fashioned 

breakfast this morning.  We usually

have it when lil darling comes over

on Friday, but she couldn't come this

 past week, so we didn't do it.

So was a nice treat for me........

as hubby does the bacon and eggs

 and I do the toast.  It was Yummy!!

Love when hubby cooks.  lol

#8

Thankful to have my bunnies and eggs

all packed away till next year, truthfully

I always sad to see them go.....but it was

time for the birdies and nests now.  lol

So busy filling in the empty spots......

Keeps me on my feet.....

which is a very good thing!!  lol

#9

Thankful that Susan and we are 

happy with the nursing/rehab center

where she is staying.  That is such

a blessing.

#10

Thankful for "The America reads the

Bible "event that is going on until

April 29th.  What a neat idea, we

have watched it, and there were so

many excellent readers. We were so

happy that we were able to catch

President Trump read in 2nd

Chronicles.  I am sure the Lord is

so pleased with who ever came up

with this great idea.  Great way to

celebrate the birth of our nation.

#11

Thankful to get out and water all 

our plants in the yard with the hose,

even washed down all our windows

out front. I love doing that and it has

 been awhile, so that was such a joy

 to my heart, and we clipped a few

things back, as well.  At our age,

and with my issues have to just

do a wee bit at a time, which is so

hard, cause I love working in the

yard this time of year, but know if

I am not careful I will pay on the

installment plan.  lol  Was extra

sleepy tonight, kept falling asleep

as we were watching TV,  must 

have been all the fresh air.

It was also a lovely day out.

#12

Thankful for a new revelation about

a stray cat that keeps coming into our

yard, that I sort of shoo her away cause

I am concerned she will get our sweet

brown bunnies.  She was out there this

 morning laying in the sun and rolling

around and I thought I saw a collar

 on her and then when she got up she

 not only had a collar but a pretty good

 size bell on the collar,  and hubby said

well, we don't have to be concerned about 

the bunnies cause they can hear her

 coming now, and also, I want need to

 shoo her away anymore, as I did feel

 sort of bad about it.  lol

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

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

Glad you could stop in

and

Hope you have a lovely rest of the week,

Love, Hugs, and

end of Spring Blessings,

Nellie

Have a Beautiful Sunday,

Thankful Thursday April 16, 2026, and Spring Flowers

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
Romans 14:19 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

How's You this beautiful day??

We are basking in something that

has taken 7 weeks to get a final

approval for, and are singing the

Halleleujah Chorus Finally!

Read about it in #12

Hope you are enjoying your Spring

Season.  We are as much as we

can with all the tumult we have

been experiencing of late.  lol

Thought you might enjoy some

pretty flowers today. So. . . . . .

Pictures today are of Spring flowers 

compliments of Pixabay. Some I

 know the names of some, I don't.  lol

I believe the header picture is a

 Ranunculi or Ranunculis, She's

a beauty for sure.

Tulips

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful we were able to talk with

an attorney and get some possibly

much needed information.

#2

Thankful I was able to go to church on

 Sunday even if it was for only half the

 service.  It felt great to be there, I count

 it as progress, and a taste of things

 hoped for............

Dogwood

#3

Thankful for the nursing/ rehab 

center where Susan is, she says

 how nice everyone is, and she really

 likes the food, which is great.

#4

Thankful for an HGTV show called

"Home Town" with Ben and Erin.

We just love their show, and they

seem like the sweetest folks.  Would

love to meet them..........lol

#5

Thankful to see one of our brown

bunnies out today having a late

breakfast.  lol

#6

Thankful that the last 3 nights we

have both slept well.  We have had

 some restless nights grappling with

things going on with Susan and 

what we hope isn't coming.

                         Daisies

#7

Thankful for Leslie Sansone videos that

I can pull up on U-tube, and that I am

able to do more proficiently all the time.

#8

Thankful that I have also discovered

some other videos on U-tube, that I 

never knew existed that have to do 

with decorating, So am enjoying some

 of those at times too.

Daffodils

#9

Thankful that because of a decision Susan

made today, my husband didn't have to

make it.  She has decided to go into 

comfort care because she is exhausted

and does not want to do rehab any 

longer.  Of Course, we feel bad about

it, but if given her situation, we would

probably do the same, and we are 

happy she was the one to make that

decision for herself.  She knows the

Lord and know her final destination,

Is heaven.... which we are all 

very grateful for...

 #10

Thankful for a long chat with my

sweet Daughter yesterday and today.....

one of the joys of my life.

?

#11

Thankful for the feel and smell of

clean sheets on my bed. such a pleasure.

#12

Thankful that hubby finally got the

final approval to be able to write

Susan's bills out of her checking acct.

She drew up a Durable Power of attorney

 many years ago, and because it is so old

 the bank would not except it, so you would

not believe all the hoops he has had to

jump through and all the trips to the

bank (9) and all the phone calls and

waiting, not to mention the stress.

So we are rejoicing over another long

awaited answer to prayer, about 

7 weeks now.

Thank You Jesus!
