Thankful Thursday March 31, 2016, Spring/ Easter Coffee Table

Greetings Sweet Friends

Hope it has been as good a week
 for you, as it has been for us.
You will see why as you read 
my Thankful post.

  Pictures today
 are of our Spring/Easter coffee
 table, hope you enjoy them...

So...on with it.....lol

I am thankful


#1
that we have been in Asheville,
N.C. since last Saturday visiting
with our daughter and son-in-love.

#2

that we got to spend Easter and 

my birthday with them this year. 

 We celebrated with the other half 

of the family the weekend before....

remember I said we celebrated

 Spring amongst other things, 

well, the other things were Easter

 and my birthday.   lol

#3

that the weather has been so great,

in the 60's but sunny and warm in 

sun.....so we have been sitting on

the back porch visiting, drinking 

coffee and working on our Spring

 tan while hubby and Jerry play

tennis with the buzz bombs that

keep pestering us!

#4
that we got to attend Easter Services
 with Dee and Jerry.....Haven't
gotten to do that in long time.

same pic but know some of it 
will be cut off in the larger pic.



#5
Then we went
 to dinner at Carrabbas since it was
just the 4 of us,  and came home
 and had carrot cake for dessert........
Dinner and Dessert were delicious,
and time together priceless....

#6

for a wonderful birthday (the early

 one and the real one) with all the

 lovely cards, gifts, emails and

 facebook wishes.........and the

delicious cake Dee made for me,

 my favorite... yellow cake with 

milk chocolate icing. They

really all made me feel like

a the Queen of the day!!

#7

also for the delicious dinner Dee

 made as well.  It was extra special

since we had to go with another

plan.......as the marinated shrimp

caught the electric grill on fire, 

 so she wound up having to pan fry

 the shrimp and scallops rather 

than grilling them, but it all tasted

 really delicous and we found a 

new way to make it that is easier

 and tastes just as good.... so this

might just become the way we

 do them every time now,

#8

that the guys were not burned

or hurt in any way and were able 

to put the fire out without having

 to call the fire dept or having any

neighbors call, cause there was a

lot of smoke..........have to say it

was pretty scary there for a bit.

Course, it makes for a great

story now.....Gotta have a

 little excitement once 

in awhile......lol

#9
we have been going out for walks
every night, and a short walk is
quite a workout here with the
mountainous terrain. So am
hoping to get home and have
lost a few pounds and have a
sun tan to boot!!  lol

#10
that hubby is able to just vacation

 this time as he usually works most

 of the time, but since he got 2 extra

weeks of vacation this year, that 

made it possible.

#11
that we got to see some of our
dear friends while we were here
as they were passing thru Ashe-
ville on the way to S.C. to
visit their son and his family.
So great to see them too!!

#12

for a really wonderful week here

visiting, it's been about as close

to heaven as it gets down here.

We will be headed home soon,

sniff, sniff.............so thankful

we have more family at home

that we love and look forward

to seeing.  That helps!!

#13

for my sweet daughter and son-in-
love, who puts up with us all week,
 and makes us feel so welcome.


Well, there you have it........
 vacation week at Cozy Place.

Glad you could come by for a visit.
and hope you stop to say hello. 

Have a Wonderful weekend!

Love, Hugs and
April Blessings,

Nellie
