Thankful Thursday August 30, 2018, Summer decor from the past

 You are my strength, 

I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress, 
my God on whom I can rely.

Psalm 59:17 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this week finds you well 
and happy.

That has been our week and I 
would add busy to that, as well.
Not complaining, just saying!
Happy that there is nothing we 
have to do today, I am sure we 
will do some things, but the 
operative words are we don't
have to...lol

Pictures today are from our
house.....summer decor from
the past.........since we are about
to leave Summer behind.
Can hardly digest that tomorrow
 is Sept. 1st,
Wowzers.......can you believe
that Fall will be here soon.
Course, it doesn't feel like Fall
her in Florida until mid or the 
end of October, but think I am
 gonna start my Fall decorating
 next week.  Looking forward to 
it since I haven't done much
decorating since Spring.

Well on with Thankful
Thursday......

#1

Thankful for a great time with our

daughter and son-in-love, and with 
the whole family being together.

Such a blessing.

#2

Thankful they made it home safely

on Sunday evening.

#3 and 4

Thankful for people who we can

learn from whether by a positive

or negative example.

Sunday I had a  man come by as

I was greeting in the foyer of our

church (which I do every Sunday)

I have never even had a conversation

with the man, as he is not the least

bit friendly. but all of a sudden he

stopped and seemed unusually 

friendly all of a sudden, and said

I heard your husband retired and I 

said yes, he has and we are very 

excited about it, and he said yea, 

well that is when all the bad stuff 

starts to happen, so I said something

 positive to sort of change the subject

 so he repeated it again, and then left,

and I thought wow, what a ray

of sunshine you are.....lol

then I thought oh Lord, please don't

ever let me be that sort of negative 

voice to anyone.  I like to learn
from negative experiences....lol

I am also Thankful that someone
like this man is a rare find in our
church.  lol

#5

Thankful that my daughter went

to Trader Joe's in Charleston and

brought us 6 bags of their movie

theatre popcorn.  It is so good!!

#6 and 7
Thankful for our cozy comfy bed 
and thankful that our new sheets

arrived for our bed.  Hope these

last longer than the others.  We

only had them for 21/2 years and

they were a high thread count and

they were worn so thin that one of 
them ripped....I could not believe

 it, as I have had sheets that were

 200- 300 thread count that lasted

 for 15 years. So not sure if it was
 the high thread count or just that 
the quality control is not as good
 as it used to be.

#8

Thankful that hubby was able to
figure out and fix a problem we
were having with our van.
My Hero!!


#9
Thankful hubby and I are making
a good team as we are teaching
lil darling on Wednesdays.
What one doesn't think of the
other one does........which is
great.........

#10
Thankful that my SIL Susan was
able to get some much needed
work done at her house this week,
and I know that is quite a relief
to her.


#11
Thankful for the show "Ann with
an E".  It is about Ann of green
gables.....just a delightful series.
I just love the character of Ann,
she is so alive, vibrant, postive,
imaginative and victorious over
her life, and things from her
past.  Sometimes the things
she goes thru makes one cry
as well.........so get the tissues
if you decide to watch it.

#12
Thankful for a wonderful smoothie
called "Chocolate Elvis" from
planet smoothie.  It is delicious,
and has a very soothing affect
on my tummy when it is not
feeling good.

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


Thanks for coming by.......

and


Keep your light shining brightly,


Love, Hugs and 
last day of August Blessings,

Nellie
