 Greeting Sweet Friends,

        Hope this finds you well and getting 

        prepared for Easter.  We have been getting

       prepared for our kids and for Easter as well.  

       So looking forward to these next few days.

                                     

   

             Pictures today are of our Spring Living room.   Sorry this is all so wonky with the writing,  for some reason my alignment feature is just not working.

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful that I already got 2 birthday cards 

from friends and my birthday is not till 

Sunday, so nice to be thought of.....

#2

Thankful my Sister-in-law Susan is still 

in good spirits and looking better all the

 time, since she is eating well, unfortunately,

 not much progress with her legs.

#3

Thankful, so thankful that I and those

I love were born and raised in America with traditional values.

My heart breaks for those across the world

who were not, and are suffering so under

these terribly brutal regimes, and it truly

prompts me to pray for them often.

#4

Thankful that I have our Easter table 

  almost planned, but still working on the

centerpiece. lol

#5

Thankful for small changes like trading

lamps from one room to another that

just gives us something new to look at

without having to buy something new.

#6

Thankful hubby got to go to watch

lil darling play volleyball again this

Saturday with our Son, then they

picked up food and we all had dinner

together.  Always great spending

time with out Son.

#7

Thankful that I am now working on our

guest bedroom since we are having 

company next week.

#8

Thankful Susan is still in good spirits

and really likes the rehab center and her

care givers and the food.  Awesome.

#9

Thankful for a quiet, yet lovely 74th

birthday.  Hubby made me a lovely

breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and

orange rolls,  with a very sweet card,

got lots of phone calls and texts, and

lovely meaningful birthday cards and

 tons of facebook wishes, and a very special

FB post from my Daughter.  You all make

 me feel so loved and like a celebrity, 

and....

we are still celebrating on Thursday

 when the whole family can be here. 

 Whoo Hoo!

That all makes me one Happy Girl...

#10

Thankful for the beautiful bundt cake

our Daughter sent me on my birthday,

unfortunately,  it didn't get delivered

until the next day, but it is a beauty

and can't wait to have some.  It is 

white chocolate raspberry cake.  YUM!!

#11

Thankful to get a phone call from a

dear friend of 55 years.  She is 78, 

but it was a bit sad too,  as she is 

battling cancer of the liver, and she

has been thru chemo, immuno therapy

and just finished radiation, and she

goes to get the results tomorrow,

Sooo, praying for good results...

She is such a wonderful, fun loving,

sweet and comedic friend, and she

has the best sense of humor, but she

 lives in Ala., so been quite a while since

we have seen each other.

I met her not long before I married

hubby.  She and I worked together

and she and her hubby attended 

our Wedding 55 yrs. ago 

#12

Thankful that even tho Susan slid out

of her wheelchair,  she did not hurt

herself.   So grateful for that!!

Well.......that's it for Cozy Place

this week.

Have a Wonderful Easter Celebrating

our Risen Lord.

Love,  Hugs and 

Resurrection Blessings,

Thankful Thursday March 26, 2026, and spring in the dining room

He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me,

and he prepares the way so that I may shows

the salvation of God.

Psalm 50:23

Happy Spring Sweet Friends,

 I know, I am a lil late but only by a week!!

and Spring last till the first day of Summer.

June 2l, 2026.  So guess it's really okay for 

it to be Happy Spring anytime between now

and them.........lol

This morning I realized with all that has been

going on....we hadn't open up the house to give it

 a nice airing out,  plus I just love to open our

 french doors to the porch, as it is like bringing

 the outdoors in......and you can hear the birds 

singing and see the squirrels running up and

down the trees, and it is just so delightful.....

so that got my day started off in a lovely way.

Pictures today are of Spring decorating in

the dining room this week.

            Don't know if you noticed (in the header

 picture) but I changed this up a lil cause 

I needed the taller bunnies somewhere else,

 which you will see later.....

So on with my Thankfuls....

#!

Thankful that it was suggested to us  to get an

elder care attorney, and had 2 recommended from

 the rehab center, but didn't want to hire anyone 

we didn't know anything about,  so we have done

 a lil research and have it narrowed it down to 2, 

and both of them are are recommended by people 

we know.  So very Thankful to know what 

direction to go in now to get an appointment.

#2 and 3

Thankful that we got to have lil darling all day 

on Friday. Course, she was doing her school work

 as usual  but so good to see her.

We got to make some rolo candies together, and 

she helped me choose and label some clothing we

 needed to send for my SIL Susan at the rehab 

center and she loves to talk with her friends

and play games on the ipad.  So cute to listen

 to them as they give each other instructions 

as to what to do in the game.

"Put the flashlight on him or he want show up",  

stuff like that,  so funny!

Then after work our Son came and picked up 

take out from Tijuana flats,  so we got to have 

dinner together and just spend time talking and

 catching up. Always good to have time with our

 Son, as well.

#4

Thankful for a what I thought was a really cool 

answer to prayer. There was paperwork that we

 needed from Susan's house but it was stuck in a

 file cabinet.  The drawer was stuck open at about

5" and we could not budge it either way, and we

 were wondering what it was gonna take to open it,

  because being a file cabinet it is of course, totally

encased in metal.  Yesterday hubby went to feed

 the cat, so decided to try again to get it open, and

 it just opened so easily like it had never been stuck,

 so he was able to get what he needed, and when

 he went to close it,  it went back to being stuck in

 the same place. I had been praying specifically about

 that .and how could we get it open.  Just love when

 you know it could have only been the Lord.

#5

Thankful for all the messages Pastor Andrew

has preached this last month that have really 

ministered to me in my circumstances.

#6

Thankful to hear that a sweet lady who is

a widow and was having back problems and

was having to walk with a walker as she 

was in so much pain and (that was before I 

had my back problems) so we started praying

for her every night, and hubby talked to her

 today and she is off the walker and doing 

well and in no pain!!  PTL

So happy to hear that.....

#7

Thankful for faithful praying friends that 

are so sweet to check on us and of course,

we check on them as well.

#8

Thankful for the beautiful sunny days we

have been having. As we sit outside to get our 

Vitamin D, it really lifts our Serotonin levels 

which also lifts our spirits.

#9

Thankful for fresh Ginger Tea with Manuka honey.

It is my go to drink every morning now. It feels

good in my tummy and I think it is gradually

helping with bloating.  Only time will tell for sure.

#10

Thankful that my Daughter's workmate/friend

is doing better.  She had a small surgery and

somehow she got sepsis and has been in the

hospital since Saturday.  Scary!

Note: She got of the hospital yesterday,

so that sounds like good news.

#11

Thankful hubby read on google that they are

gonna have a 14th season of 

"When calls the heart",

but not until 2027, as tonight just finished

season 13.  We just love this series, it just

has the best story line and all the characters

are wonderful. Been watching it for years

now, never fails to be great as far as we

are concerned

#12

Thankful for a dear longtime friend that

came to visit with me today.  Haven't seen

each other in quite awhile, and she came

armed with a special tea that helps her

tummy, hoping it will help mine, and

a beautiful spring bouquet.  She is such

a sweet heart and we had so much catch-

ing up to do,  so it was pure bliss.  lol

Thanks Becky, it was pure Joy.

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

Have a delightful week,

and Thanks for stopping by,

Love, Hugs and

End of March Blessings,

Nellie

Scripture Sunday

 

We are incredibly thankful for the Lord Jesus, 

even more than ever, as we walk thru the times

 our country and world are going thru and the

 times we are going thru personally in the last

 5 Months. When you turn to Him with your

problems, He truly can give you peace and 

direction which does make our burdens lighter.

If you are feeling overwhelmed today, why

not pray and ask Jesus to help you!

He would love to hear from you!

Have a Peaceful Sunday

Hugs, Nellie

Thankful Thursday March 20, 2026, and pics of our spring family room

 

 But as for me, it is good to be near God.

 I have made the Sovereign LORD

 my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.

Psalm 73:28

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well, but maybe a lil chilly still??

That's how it is here in Florida again, course, we

had a break, so it was kind of nice actually.

Been another busy week, but mostly good, with

some bad news and stress mixed in, but the 

Lord always helps us, just takes awhile of

pondering and praying.

Pics today are of our Spring family room.

Welcome to Bunny and Egg Heaven........lol

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

#1

Thankful that the bank says everything is okay,

but hubby has an appt. again on Monday,

so we won't breathe a full sigh of relief until

after Mondays meeting.

Note:   Thankful Hubby went to appt. this 

morning and filled out a bunch of paperwork,

but it will take another 10 days to process.

Thankfully in 10 days we wil be singing

the "Halleleujah chorus"! and have this

monkey off our back.....lol

#2

Thankful again to the lovely lady who helped

us to begin with.............

#3

Thankful for a new series we are watching

on "Up Faith and Family" called "Blue Skies".

We have watched 3 episodes and it is really

quite good, and is a very clean and family

friendly series.

#4

Thankful for Leslie Sansone walking videos

that you can find on utube now.  I have used

her videos for years. I am getting a lil faster

every time, getting pretty close to normal now,

which is exciting. Still having to be careful

though,  but glad I am able to do them.

#5

Thankful for a sweet and encouraging chat

 with our Daughter on Sunday. She always

cheers me up!!

#6

Thankful for a good hard rain on Sunday too,

It was much needed, and I am sure our grass

and plants were loving it.

#7

Thankful for St. Patrick's Day as it always

reminds me of my Daddy, who was very proud

of his Irish heritage, and has been with Jesus

for 33yrs. now. He is the main reason I celebrate

it, so I am making my version of "Irish Colcannon"

for did din tonight.  Always love it.

Note:  It was soooooo good.

#8

Thankful we get 2 more days of cold weather,

cause I would imagine this is the last of it, now

that we are more than halfway thru March,.

Guess we will see!

#9

Thankful my sweet hubby went to MacDonalds,

just to get me a caramel Frappe,  I am not a 

big coffee drinker cause my Dr. took me off of

caffeine years ago, but when I do drink it....

it's like I am the energizer bunny, and I could

sure use some of that right now!!  lol

#10

Thankful for the honest and affirming info from 

the rehab center, as to what they see happening 

with hubbies sister, Susan.  They are telling us

not happy with the news, we have to know the

truth to be able to make plans. and for praying

for a miracle............

#11

Thankful I am finally finished with my Spring

decorating, now just have to get stuff and boxes
