Thankful Thursday January 29, 2026, and pics of Winter decorating at our house

 

 “The Ancient of Days took his seat.

His clothing was as white as snow.”

Daniel 7:9 NIV

 

Chilly Greetings Sweet Friends,

I hope where ever you live you are safe and sound and are able to keep warm, and have enough food to sustain you and yours.  Praying for all of you in the storm affected areas. As well as all the linemen and tree surgeons for safety as well. What unsung heroes they all are!! Our chilly week began on Monday, but it is nothing in comparison to up north of us.

Our hearts and prayers truly are with yall.

Pictures today are of our Winter

family room decor for 2026.

You will see we left some cuties out just

because of their sweet faces that

 make us smile....

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

#1

Thankful to finally be starting on my Winter

 Decorating. Most of the Christmas stuff is

 packed up and ready to go to the garage, 

 but left some things out just in case I might

 need them as I decorate.

#2

Thankful that hubby got to go with our Son

and lil darling to her Volleyball tournaments

today.  He was excited,  and they brought

their lil dog Lola over to keep Grammy

company. Then brought take home

dinner and stayed and visited awhile.

#3

Thankful that our Daughter has decided

to manage their own properties for lots

of reasons. The new website just went

live Friday night.  She is only doing the

 Lake house right now, as she gets her

 feet wet. lol  It is quite an undertaking, 

so we are very proud of her.

Here is the new website in case you

 would like to take a peek. It is really great, 

 I have to say.  Click Here

#4

Thankful that our Daughter and

Son-in-love managed to escape the

bad weather system. We are praying

for all those that didn't tho, feeling bad

for everyone that has to go through it, especially the folks in North Carolina. 

 I am sure after all they have been thru

after Helene, hey are more than 

a bit nervous.

#5

Thankful for some direction the Lord

gave me this morning. I was disappointed

once again I could not go to church,

and was listening to a Pastors sermon

anyway I felt in my spirit that the

Lord said this is not about you not being

able to go to church, the enemy is

after your faith, and it was a real

wake up call for me, as I realized all the

negative thoughts that had run thru my 

head.

#6

Thankful that I did get some Winter

decorating done while they were at

the volleyball game, more to do but

I would say I am half way there at

least.  

#7

Thankful for Ann over at "On Sutton

Place" blog, Cause I just used her 

calendar printables, which are so 

beautiful, and have used many of her

great printables for years now, and

she has a lovely blog as well,  with

many great ideas and recipes.

#8

Thankful for Chicken, bacon, lettuce and

 tomato sandwiches on toasted sour dough

 bread, We have been making them off and

 on since Christmas. Our Daughter loves

 BLT's too, so we had some with deli

 chicken we needed to eat up, so after

Christmas, we tried the with chicken...........

and my my, that is some

 good eating!!

  

#9

Thankful for frozen leftover veggie

soup, and ham and cheese grilled

sandwiches for din din.  Perfect for 

the cold weather.  Loving it!!

#10

Thankful that I am pretty much 

 finished with my Winter Decorating!! 

 Now to pack away the rest of

 the Christmas things.  Yay

#11

Thankful for a nice long chat with my

 lovely Daughter.  Always makes us

Happy Girls..............lol

#12

Thankful that my back has been doing

so well. Haven't had to use the heating

pad for days, and finding that I can

bend over more without having back

aches, just still trying to limit that a bit,

but feel like I am getting there for sure.

So Hap Hap Happy about that!!  lol

Still working on the IBS but that is a

chronic situation, so never really goes

away............but good days, bad days.

Love this window, one of my fav seasonal decor tools and it has sentimental value as well, because it came out of our Daughter and Son-in-law's beach house a few years back, when they had the windows replaced.

#13

Thankful for pixabay for all their

 pretty free pictures that I fill the 

panes of glass with..........

Thankful Thursday January 22, 2026, and pictures of Winter Desserts

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” 

– Colossians 3:15

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a good week.

Mine has been good in a number of ways.

So really happy about that.

Thankful for a good friend who called

to check on me today, always sweet.

As

Are

Desserts

which are our pictures for this week.

Compliments of Pixabay.

Enjoy!

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

#1

Thankful we got our curtains all

steamed and adjusted and we love them.

such a nice change for the New Year.

#2

Thankful for 2 pairs of new flannel

jamies as Christmas gifts. So enjoying

them in this cold weather.

#3

Thankful for these 

new cookies 

we found at Aldi grocery store. 

 They are delicious and love that they'

are made with dark chocolate rather

 than milk chocolate like others.

They are also a dollar or two less

than some others we were buying 

at Publix.

#4

Thankful for some interesting things the

 Lord has been revealing to me

about my earlier life, and are hindering my

 life still, but shouldn't be any longer.

Another good thing that has come out 

of this time of rest and recooperation.

#5

Thankful for how the Lord will sometimes

confirm something He might be leading

us to do or say.  Had that experience

this week with another blogger.

#6

Thankful that I have most of my Christmas

 decor down, but got to get the ornaments

off the tree yet, and  need to pack it away. 

Note: Ornaments off tree

#7

Thankful my trip back to the Chiropractor

 went well. It was 3 weeks since I have

been there, so hopefully next time it will

 be a month. Not that I don't like the

Chiropractor cause I really do, so will

be sad not to see them, but happy

that I don't need to see them.

#8

Thankful we were able to go for a late

lunch at Sonny's. Had the place all to

 ourselves pretty much and the food was

 very good, and nice to get out of the

 house for a lil bit.

#9

Thankful my Daughter found me some

 wedge heeled shoes online at DSW shoes. 

So I ordered them this morning and hope

 they will work.

I hope this is only temporary, but think

this could be the end of my days of

 wearing even 3" heels are over.

Tried to wear them to church week

 before last and got this shooting pain

in the middle of my lower back, which

was totally unexpected and scary.

The wedge heels are only 1 and 3/4".

So hoping they work.....cause if not, I am

 going to be hemming all my dress clothes.

dresses and pants cause there length

is for 3" heels, and with flats the 

dresses are below my knee and pants

drag the ground.  So will see.....

Don't know about you,  but it's not all

that easy to find new clothing either.

Have had lots of back issues over the

years, but never had this problem before.

#10

Thankful for a heart warming movie we

 watched last night.  It was called

"Instant Nanny" and it was on Up faith and

 family. Love those sort of movies.

#11

Thankful to get to spend a lil time with

 our son and lil darling for awhile today.

#12

Thankful for pizza from Lil Caesars,

 it was really good cause we haven't 

had it in awhile.

Well, that's it for Cozy Place

 this week.

Happy you could join us today.

Have a great Friday

and

Wonderful Weekend,

Love, Hugs and

End of January Blessings,

Thankful Thursday January 15, 2026, and pictures of all things Winter

 

As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter,

day and night will never cease.”
Genesis 8:22 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well

and Cozy Warm.  We are

experiencing Winter days

here in Florida, this time

it will last a week, So we

can enjoy that knowing we

will get a break soon.

Know some of you might not

be that blessed, and are

praying for Spring.  I don't

blame you, if I lived up north

those would be my prayers

as well.  

Pictures today are of 

All things Winter compliments

of Pixabay.

On with my Thankfuls

#1

Thankful for a new read thru the Bible book, that our previous

Pastor gave to anyone who wanted them as a departing gift.

We were already reading

 another one, at the time we

rec'd it, so wanted to finish

that one, so started the new 

one later than everyone else

 but we are really enjoying it.

So Thanks Pastor Brad

#2

Thankful for what they call

a Tens unit, that puts off 

electrical impluse's that cause

the pain to go away temporarily

and helps with healing of my sciatica and back. Have been

using it quite a bit as it

 Works pretty well.

#3

thankful for a new probiotic

I started taking which seems

to be helping my IBS issues.

course, this is just one thing

among many many things that

we have tried.

Who knows, this could be the

one that works..... for good.

Everything seems to work

at first, and it works until

well.......it doesn't.

#4

thankful that while I was 

ordering something else on

Amazon, these curtains that I

had ordered back in Oct. for

our Anniversary,  that were

out of stock, all of a sudden

popped up, so I reordered 

them and they were even less

than before, which is always great. so got them last week,

and we put them on both 

windows, and we like them, 

but still need to steam and adjust them tomorrow, as I had to

stop for the day.  they are

the same color, but a nice 

change.....to buffalo Check

So excited to see finished

product .

Note: Didn't get to finish

cause we decided to go out

instead, needed a house break. 

#5

Thankful for this neat heating

pad that we have that I had

completely forgotten about,

Happened to find it,  so got

it out and used it, and it was

perfect.  Fits on my shoulders

like a cape and goes up around

my neck.  Feels like heaven!!  lol

#6

Thankful I am getting the bug

to get The Christmas things

down and start looking more

like Winter in here. took a

few things down today. lol

                       #7

Thankful that I have moved

2 Chiro visits till next week,

since my back and sciatica

are doing much better.

Hopefully my IBS will be

more under control then too.

#8

Thankful for the Presidential

Pray team that sends out a

list of things to be prayed

for daily for our country.

It is a reminder everyday,

and makes it easy and quick

 to pray!  It is usually one of

 the first things I try to do

 every morning.

It is so important for us to

be praying for our country

and our government and 

our President and his 

Administration, like them or

not....it is our duty to our

country, and a biblical call

 in 1 Timothy 2:1-2.

If you see all that is happening

in our country and world and

feel a bit helpless, here is a

great thing you can do!!

 if you want a prompt to

remember to Pray join

the Presidential Pray Team

chat with my favorite and only Daughter today.  lol

#11

Thankful to get out of the

just to run errands.  

Got what we needed, 

and then....

#12

Thankful for a nice din din

at Olive Garden cause they
