Thankful Thursday July 29, 2015, floral and nature pics from Cozy Place

And whatever you do,
whether in word or deed,
do it all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to
God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Now don't die from shock that I am 
on time for once. lol

Hope today finds you well and happy
and overflowing with blessings
 from above.

This morning I was trying to do 
some bible study, but I just kept
falling asleep,  so I would read
awhile, then sleep awhile, then
read awhile and sleep awhile,
then pray awhile and sleep awhile,
and on and on, but guess I must
have needed it.  Feel like I have
Rip Van Winkle disease. lol


Then this afternoon I felt pretty 
motivated so just been doing some
needed things around the house.
Also preparing things to make that
Cran/Raspberry Salad I posted yester-
day, accept ours will be Cran/straw-
berry,  hubby wanted to try that, so
I have already made the poppy seed
dressing, and have the chicken all
ready, so going to get the lettuce
all ready next...............so looking
forward to this delightful salad.

It has been a much more relaxing
week here,  thank goodness!

Since I still don't have access to
any new pics,  I thought I would
go with some nature and floral
pics from around my house
and yard some years back.

So on with Thankful Thursday....

I am thankful

#1

for a really nice time over at Scott 

and Megans on Sunday, some

much needed fun after the earlier

stressful week we had.  lol

#2

that our phones and garage door are

 up and running again after last weeks

lightning hit.  Still waiting for the new

computer monitor to see if anything

else needs to be done to my computer.
You can always hope!!  lol

#3

we have a lap top too.............boy, do

you get spoiled with being able to look

so much up online...........and when it

is down you almost feel lost without

it................and I am not crazy about
lap tops to be honest............but they
are definitely better than nothing.  lol

#4

that a lil gal that used to be in our

college/career bible study 14 yrs.

or so ago, was in town and came

by to see us.  She is married over

12 yrs. now and has 3 children and

she lives in Michigan.  What a
 sweetheart she is...............and it was 
so such a blessing to get to see her.

#5

that Susan got a very good report

from her surgeon on Monday, and

is continuing to do well at home.
She is getting home physical therapy,
but they only felt she needed it 2 days
a week for a few weeks, so that was
good news.

#6

for a nice long chat with our Dee

Tuesday morning.  She was working

all last week and had company over
 the weekend,  so didn't get to talk to 
her but for a few mins one time,

 so it was nice to catch up with 

her this morning. 

#7

that Dee, Jerry or Rosie and her

friend's dog's Maddie were not

hurt in anyway, when they were 

suddenly charged by a very 

aggressive acting pit bull while

they were minding their own

business and sitting on their

front porch...........scared them

half to death.........we definitely

feel their angels were watching

over them, as the dog just all

of a sudden calmed down, and

he just smelled of Rosie (and

she is 7pd. chijuajua) and then

smelled Maddie (a probably 

12 pd. Schnauzer), so Jerry was

able to quickly snatch Rosie up

 when he started to sniff Maddie

 and then thank heavens a man 

showed up and said it was his

 daughters dog. DeeAnna said

I don't think I have ever been

that scared before...........
Plus the fact that they had a
 situation fresh in their minds
that Jerry had seen at the 
hospital where he works,
I am sure really added to their
fears.....The man had both of 
his arms ripped off by a pitbull.

Isn't that horrible!

I seriously wonder why they do
not outlaw those dogs,  just too
many incidents of devastation.

#8
for lactaid Milk, as I am lactose
 intolerant and it is so nice to be
 able to just pour a glass of milk or 
add it to a recipe without thinking
 about having to take a lactaid pill,
cause sometimes I used to forget,
and then paid for it later............
Plus hubby and I both think
 it tastes better for some reason.

#9
that Scott was able to take care of our 
plants and lawn while we were away 
in Asheville a few weeks ago if 
needed, and we just found out this
 passed weekend that not only did he
 do that, he was also so sweet and 
thoughtful to fertilize all our shrubs
 for us. Our boxwood plants in the
front of the house really needed it,
 as they were sort of yellowing, and I 
had done some liquid fertilizers a few
 months ago, but it hadn't done much,
 but they are all nice and green and
healthy looking again now.  
Thanks Scott!!

#10
that Susan has such sweet and helpful
neighbors, as it is helpful to us as well.
Otherwise, we would have to be taking
her trash can out and in and getting her
mail daily, but many times they are 
doing it which saves us having to go
down there daily.  

#11
for the Sunday School materials we
have had this year, they have been
very indepth bible studies and I feel
like I have learned  so much.

#12
for Sweet Iced Tea with lemon, nothing
like a home brewed batch over lots of
ice.  I have been having a hankering
for some for about a week now, so
finally made some today, and what a
tasty delight  I don't make it too often
cause of the calories.... I do like it sweet, 
but I am a Southern gal and we do like
our Sweet Tea, so have to give in once
in awhile,  ya know!!

Well, there you have it folks
another week at Cozy Place

Thankful you could come by.....

Hope you have a Wonderful
Friday and Weekend!

Love, Hugs and
Nature's Blessings to YOU!
Nellie
