Happy Thankful Thursday 
Sweet Peas,

Late again, but I have a very
good reason as you will read.

So....How are ya these days???

I am doing well, have been trying to catch up
on my rest, and am feeling some what better,
but keep waking up about 3:30 or so with
night sweats and being awake for hours, 
 which is just so much fun, and makes me 
sleep deprived, of course,  but other than 
that things are going well..................


So on with Thankful Thursday.......

#1

I am thankful

for 43 years of marriage to my sweet 

hubby and friend.  I am the only one
in my family to be married to the same 
person, and the only one to ever be
 married this long. That is such a thrilling 
thing for me, as it is a heritage I definitely
 want to pass on to my children 
and grandchildren.

#2

I am thankful

for the wonderful man I am married

to........he has learned over the years

that earning a living is not all there is

to being a man, even tho, that is a big

facet of it,  and he does a great job of

 that,  he also knows it is important to

 love God first, His wife and family

next, then others,  and to be a 

sweet servant leader.  He does an

amazing job of all of these.

# 3

I am thankful

that because of all of the above he

has a wife and children and now 

grandchild who respects and adores

him.  It really is hard for it to get 

much better than that...........

#4

I am thankful

that even tho we have had our up and 

downs just like all married couples that

we can honestly say we have had more

ups than downs.............and we know

without any doubt it is because of our

relationships with the Lord.

#5

I am thankful

for our 2 great and beautiful children,

2 in-love children, and our lil darling grand-

daughter that God has blessed our union with.

(and our lil grand daughter dog Rosie) lol

Our Son Scott and his wife Megan

Our daughter DeeAnna and her 
Hubby Jerry

Our lil darling from Scott and Megan

and Rosie, our grand daughter dog,
 doesn't she look like her Mom!! lol

#6

I am thankful

for something fun we have planned to 

celebrate our Anniversary and will tell you

 about it in a later post, after we have

done it and have some pictures.

#7

I am thankful

that we are going out to dinner tonight

at Carrabbas to celebrate as well.  

Note: That was the plan, but we wound 
up getting take out from Road House grill 
because I was having stomach issues.....

But we enjoyed it and that is all that
matters really...........
There will be another night for Carrabbas!
but it was a lil disappointing at first, as we
were both really looking forward to it.

Life is what happens when we are 
making our plans...........lol

#8

I am thankful

for a lovely and sweet Anniversary

card we got from DeeAnna and Jerry

today, and a very Sweet E-card

from Susan my Sister-in-love,
and of course, last but not least,
the sweet and loving card from
my better half.

Here we are a few Christmas's ago!
Time to take some new pics.............lol


#9

I am thankful

for a fun phone conversation with my

daughter today, and so happy that they 

are enjoying their lives so much.

Course, we talk to each other almost

daily except on weekends. But this

was just a particularly fun one.....

#10

I am thankful

for coat hangers, just imagine having

to fold every piece of clothing you

have..........uh uh.........that would

be no fun at all.............can you tell

 I have just been doing laundry!  lol

My hangers got all gnarled up and was
a bit aggravating but then I thought
even tho, I would sure hate to not
have them............lol

#11

I am thankful

for a new series we are doing on dealing

with Conflict, hoping that this will be

the material for our new class in January.

and of course, you always have a situation

that comes up so you get to practice.  lol

#12

 I am thankful

that we have refreshed and more 

knowledge on what our real goal should be,

and how to go about it. Learning things

based on God's word makes such a remark-

able difference in how we approach life.
It's All Good..........


Well, there you have it another 
week in the life of Cozy Place....

Thanks for being a blog friend,
I so appreciate you 
and your comments.

Love, Hugs and
 Happy Anniversary Blessings, 
whenever your Anniversary is.....
