Thankful Thursday Feb. 16, 2017, Our Valentines Table 2017

Devote yourselves to prayer, 

being watchful and thankful.

Colossians 4:2

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a Lovely 

Valentine's Day!

We did..........

I didn't do any Valentines

decorating to the house this

year, as I was just so sick

of red this year for some

strange reason,  but I still

had a red checked table

cloth on in the kitchen, so

thought I will just set a nice

Valentine's table for two

in the kitchen.  Then did

not like the checked table-

cloth so decided on white.

So drug out a few things

and set a nice table and

now I am in love with

red again..........lol

Oh, our moods and likes

are the fickle or what??

Anyway, thought I would

let you see our table today.

So will get on with Thankful

Thursday...........

I am thankful

#1

for more yard work that was

accomplished on Friday and

Saturday in our back yard.

More to go tho......but we

are slowly getting there.

#2

that my son finally made it 

safely to Amersterdam Holland,

for a work related trip....altho it

 was quite an ordeal, long lay-

overs, cancelled flights, lost 

luggage and sitting on the 

Tarmac In Paris for 3 hrs. only

 to be taken back to the terminal

because the plane had problems.

But best of all.... he got there

safe and sound.

#3

for a trip to Michaels crafts,

which is always a fun place

for me,  love the decor items

they have.....altho I didn't buy

anything decor right now, I did

get some craft type things for

lil darling for Valentines day

so we can do them together

when she is here.

#4

for a nice time with Megan

and lil darling on Sunday

evening. We spent some time

at their house and had dinner

with her, after hubby put up

some wood blinds for her.

#5

for finding out that Race Trac

gas stations have frozen yogurt.

Our fav frozen yogurt place

closed a month or so ago....and

left us wondering what happen-

to the sweet lil oriental couple

who ran it.......we are hoping

and praying that are okay.

#6

for Medicare.....only need the

Part B right now,  but very 

thankful we have that and the
rest when we need it.

#7

for a very quick trip to the
Social Security office, I was
10 mins. early and they called
my name as we walked in the
door, and we were out 5 mins.
after my appt. time......great!!

#8
for a very nice Valentine's Day
 with my Sweetheart of 47 years.
We got take out from Carrabas
and celebrated with Blueberry
Sparkling juice and a pretty
table, and lovely cards and
a surprise box of chocolates.
Then watched a really great
movie.

#9 
for Hallmark Hall of Fame
movies, they are always so
heartwarming!  We watched
one last night and it was 
called "The Lost Valentine".
It was so good.....but you 
will need some tissues at the
end for sure, but it was a
 really excellent movie and
we highly recommend it.

#10
that I saw my neighbor out
walking around this morning
and he looked like he was
doing pretty good. (this is
the one that was in the motor-
cycle accident back around
New Years.

#11
that I had a revelation about 
myself this week.....I just love
Valentine's Day, and love to let
everyone I love know that I love
them, even tho I know I love on
them and they know that, but I 
go way out of my way on
 Valentine's day, and most people
 I know act like it is really no big
 deal..........but just in casual
 conversation with my hubby this
 week I was telling him how that
was on thing my Mom always did
was give me a Beautiful heart 
shaped box of chocolates for
Valentines day, and as an after-
thought said guess it was the 
holiday that she celebrated
the most really, and I said guess
cause she was always working
overtime on all the holidays to
make extra money (since she
was a single Mom) and then
on Valentines Day it dawned
on me that is the reason I love
it and celebrate it so much.
Funny how you can have 
something be such a part of
you but never think about the
why of it.........so found it
very enlightening in many
ways......that I would only
understand.

#12
for the great time we had yesterday.
I will tell you about it next week.

Well, there you have it for another
week at Cozy Place.


Hope you have a lovely rest of
the week.

Love, Hugs and
Blessings,
Nellie
