In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
Psalm 33:21 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope your week has been a good
one.....
Ours has been good and a bit busier
than usual, which was fine. I will
let the post do the talking today.
Pictures today are from Charleston
S.C. again, from our golf cart tour.
So on with my Thankfuls....
#1
Thankful for an evening out on
Friday, we tried to go shopping
but I all of a sudden I started
feeling not so great, but at least
did get a picture frame I went
after, and we did get to go to
dinner at Red Lobster and was
able to enjoy that and it was
nice to get out of the house
for awhile. Think I was just
overtired from not sleeping
well the night before.
#2
Thankful to see an old neighbor
of our friends that we just went to
visit last week at our church this
Sunday morning. I just saw her
a few weeks ago in Publix and
she never said she was coming
to our church, so it was quite
a nice surprise.

#3
Thankful to hear that the young
couples class that we taught for
41/2 years, has stepped up and
are doing a life group together
on Thursday evening. We were
very happy to hear that as they
are the church of the future.
#4 and 5
Thankful for a fun time out
to lunch with some new friends
after church and it was really nice
that we went to a buffet restaurant
that is about 30 mins away in another
town that we haven't been to in years,
in fact, it has a new name and new
owners, but it was really good, and
we love that it is like a little country
inn....very quaint with a lovely
atmosphere and delicious food
and great fellowship with our new
friends.
Thankful also that when we were
walking thru the restaurant to leave,
we saw a lovely older couple that
used to go to our church for years but
moved away, but they were in the
area visiting their grandson. It was
definitely a divine connection cause
not only did we know them, and get
a kick out of seeing them, it turned
out that those sweet folks used to be
best friends with our new friends
parents back then, so they were
thrilled to see them. Love these
fun surprises like that!
#6
Thankful for a new bath and body
fragrance in my guest bath, it is
called Lemoncello and it is just
such a wonderful clean lemon
fragrance. I love having a nice
fragrance when you walk into
a bathroom especially.
#7
Thankful hubby got a good
report at the Dr. so far. He still
has to do an echocardiogram,
but we are expecting it to be
good as well. Thankful that
the Dr. cut back on his Blood
pressure meds, as his BP has
gone down since he retired.
#8
Thankful for a fun night out on
Tuesday after the Drs. visit to cheese-
cake factory and their yummy cheese-
cake that we brought home. Mine was
Caramel salted pretzel, and it was really
scrumptious but rich, so you can't eat
to much at one sitting, so finally
finished it off today after lunch.
Um Um....
#9
Thankful for my hubbies hilarious
sense of humor. I am seeing that
more and more since he retired and
when we watch lil darling. He is
really getting even more into his role
as a Grampy, and it is fun to watch.
Dr. asked if we were
working out and we said No, we
have been having fun...... but then
yesterday I told hubby we should
make a video of our days with lil
darling and send it to him, and he
will see we don't need a work out
routine.........lol
She keeps us on the move all the
time........playing games, like hide
and seek with her barbie dolls, and
my hubby has some very creative
hiding places that crack us up,
then there is one called " 4 corners"
and a new game "The floor is lava"
or something like that, oh and finger
rockets....we are just having too
much fun over here......and by the
end of the day we just want to drop
on the sofa and do nothing, cause
we are worn out.....but it is a good
worn out..........lol
#10
Thankful for a new food discovery.
Trader Joe's movie theatre popcorn.
It is really delicious and only $2
a bag. Only problem is the store
is an hour away so not sure how
often we will get to buy it, but it
will surely be a treat when we do.
Just now realized my daughter is
coming in August and they have a
store near them. Will have to get
her to bring me some. Sounds
like a good plan to me. lol
#11
Thankful for a sweet and precious
card and letter from our friends
in Gainesville today. They are
both sweeties and we have missed
them every since they moved away
about 25 years ago.
#12
Thankful for a lot of little projects
that we got done this week that
have been nagging at us. Such a
good feeling when they are done.
Well, that is our week at Cozy Place.
Glad you could stop by.......

Love, Hugs, and
Sweet Summer Blessings,

Love you all, Susan
As always enjoyed your TT list, Nellie, I too enjoy the movie theater popcorn from Trader Joes, and try and stock up when we shop.
ReplyDeleteI was smiling at all the meetings that God arranged for you all. I will be praying for continued good reports for your DH! Isn't it wonderful to see the fruits of your labor from the the class you all taught! Aren't grandchildren one of God's greatest gifts to us?
Thank you for sharing.
Blessings,
Sue
