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

the same thing we are thinking.  Altho, we are

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

tucked away.  Halleleujah!!

#12

Thankful for our Daughter, even tho she lives

in SC that girl will get info that we need or

do whatever she can to help us out.  She's

the best............

Can you tell I love bunnies and colored eggs??

I think we are seeing this today, as I see on facebook

 and Instagram, and on christian stations where many

 folks are talking and reporting of revivals and

 many many coming to know the Lord all over our world.

  That is Amazing and Wonderful............

and a lot of it is having on college campuses with our

 young people.  Praise the Lord....

Have a blessed day,

Hugs, Nellie

Thankful Thursday March 13, 2026, and Hubby and lil darlings birthday table

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace 

at all times and in every way.

1 Thessalonians 3:11 NIV

Morning Sweet Friends, 

Hope you day is starting off well, our's was,

as we saw both our wild brown bunnies out

 this morning at the same time, and 3 squirrels.

So looking more like Spring all the time!

Then....

Hubby had an appt. at the bank again this is

about the 6-7 trip there in the last few weeks,

and just came from the bank, and something

 we thought we had solved, is not, and we are

 not sure where to go from here!  So if you

feel so led, please pray for resolution, it 

would sure be appreciated.

Pictures today are from Hubby and

Lil darlings birthday table.  Just a simple

but pretty table, the blue is for hubby and 

the flowers are for lil Darling.

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

#1

Thankful to we got to have lil darling, 

today, our now, 13 yr. old, as she was 

needing help from Grampy with Math.

Always love any chance to have her 

with us, as she is such a joy.

#2

Thankful that our Son and lil darling went

 to visit Susan yesterday which gave hubby

 a break,  and I know she was excited to see

 them as well.

#3

Thankful for my Wonderful Hubby.

Today is his 78th birthday, and with

all the stressful things we have going

on with his sister, that he got to go

with our Son and Granddaughter to

watch her volleyball tournaments.

He really enjoys that, and really 

needs some fun in his life right now.

#4

Thankful that we will be celebrating

he and Brooklyn's birthday later on

today with his fav meal, Beef Stroganoff.

She will probably eat as soon as she

finishes her game, cause she is typically

starving after exerting all that energy,

but we got her red velvet cake for dessert.

She will be happy about that.

#5

Thankful for a fun time with our Son

and lil darling, after the got home from

the game. They were gone almost 12 hrs,

so the were a tad hungry to say the least,

so I had everything ready when they got

home.  After eating, we all felt better

and had a lil more energy, not much 

mind you, but we managed to have a

good time anyway.

#6

Thankful for a lovely and encouraging

text we got but didn't know who it was

from, but it had all our names on it, so

had to write back and say "Thank You"

so much for this lovely text, but we are

not sure who it is from?  So they sent

back there initials to see if we could 

figure out who it was....we thought it

was from someone at church, turned

out it was from the Son of some of

our long time friends, and we did

guess who it was...just took us about

5 minutes.  So sweet and encouraging.

#7

Thankful to have things like Spring

decorating to do, and normal housework

 routines and cooking (my least fav)these

 days, but all these things keeps me on my feet. 

 With my back issues... sitting for too long

 is not good, and unfortunately, a lot of 

things I like to do require sitting, so have 

to get up more often when sitting, and

walk around, and these things really

 are a blessing at my age.......even

when sometimes I would rather not

do them.............lol

But they are crucial to good health.

#8

Thankful that the Lord brought to mind

someone very unexpected, that could help

us with a legal issue we were having, and

she so graciously ran with it, and took

care of the whole issue.  We could not

be more thankful and grateful to her,

and her boss. She was such an incredible

 blessing, and may the Lord bless she

and her boss in amazing ways for their

 kindness to us.

#9

Thankful that I am underway with my

Spring decorating, be it ever so slowly,

I have to admit......think I am finished

with the mantle and have hung a few

pictures.........hopefully I will be feeling

a bit more creative tomorrow.

#10

Thankful that in trying to get this legal 

matter taken care of after 6 trips to the

bank for the same reason, and it is still

not taken care of.....and frustrating to

say the least, and because of my sweet

hubbies patience, the guy at the bank

said are you a Pastor? and my husband

said No, but I am an elder in our church,

and the man said "you just sort of have

that personna", so his light is shining

bright, no doubt he is being tested.  lol

#11

Thankful for fun remembrances of when

our children were littles.  Hubby saw

a squirrel and called it a "scurrel" 

cause that's what our Daughter used

to call them, and then I remembered

if our Son saw it looked like rain,

he would say "looks like it's gonna

be a ghouly washer" cause I used

to say "gully washer", cause that's

what I heard as a kid.  lol

Fond thoughts that make you laugh.

#12

Thankful to know that the Lord knows

what He is doing in this bank situation.

Frustrating as it is....we know He has

some reason for it........we would love

to know the reason that is for sure.  lol

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

Well, that's it for this week

at Cozy Place......

Happy you could drop by...............

Have a Wonderful Weekend,

Love, Hugs and 

early March Blessings,

Scripture Sunday

 

Thankful Thursday, March 5, 2026, and pics of whimsical drawings with cats

 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, 

faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you have a had a good week.

Ours has been good just very busy.

We are feeling almost like Summer

here, we have had 80degree temps the

last few days.

Pictures today are of  whimsical drawings

with cats, thanks to Pixabay.

 Hopefully, will have some Spring decor 

pictures next week.  Right now the house

 is in disarray from taking all the Winter

stuff down..........lol

                    On with my thankfuls....

#1

Thankful they moved Susan to the Cardiac unit yesterday, and she was sitting up in a chair. 

 Still incredibly weak tho. The next day they surprised us by telling us they were moving her 

to rehab already.  Cause they did all they can

could do for her.

#2

Thankful that I got Susan's birthday card done, and we have planned some things to do for her 

on her birthday which is in a few days, and more

 difficult, of course, since she is still in hospital.

#3

Thankful that I have started to take down

the Winter things, so will hopefully get to

start on Spring stuff next week.

#4

Thankful that lil darling got to go visit

her Aunt Deena, our Daughter while she

was on break from school, then her Dad

went for the weekend to bring her back

home.  They always have so much fun

together, and as parents we just love that.

#5

Thankful for the sweetest email from my

guy cousin this morning.  He lives in Va.

so don't get to see him but we do keep in

touch fairly often by phone or email.

#6

Thankful for praying friends that are tuned

into the Lord.  I was up half the night sick

I guess, from food poisoning, and they called

 me to see how we were doing. Thankfully

I am better now, I believe it was their prayers

 because they felt an urgency to pray just for

 me this morning.  That was so encouraging

to me as well, as making me feel better.

#7

Thankful for our Pastors and for the

encouragement they have been to us, and

especially to my hubby as he has had so

much to deal with,  first me, and now

with his Sister.  He's pretty tired.

#8

Thankful for all the folks, like our Pastors

and other parishoners that have gone by

 to visit Susan during this time. Such a

blessing!

#9

Thankful that our white azaleas are

blooming and showing some Spring

beauty in our most things dead looking

backyard.  lol

#10

Thankful that Susan seems to be getting

stronger because she is eating well again,

but still isn't able to get out of bed on 

her own.  So we are hoping for a miracle.

#11

Thankful that I have all our Winter

stuff taken down finally, in between doing

laundry and getting clothing ready to take

 to the rehab center for Susan, and at my

much slower pace than usual.  lol

#12

Thankful that lil darling just had her 13th

 birthday, and she is still just as sweet and kind

as ever, as well, as beautiful inside and out.

Can hardly believe she is a teen now.

Well............

That's it for Cozy Place this week.

Glad you could come by

and

Have a super duper weekend.

Love, Hugs and 

First of March blessings,

Nellie
