Keep me safe, my God,

Thankful Thursday September 27, 2018, scenes from Fall's past #2

You are my strength,

 I sing praise to you; 
you, God, are my fortress, 
my God on whom I can rely.
Psalm 59:17



Fall Greetings Sweet Friends,


What cha' been up to lately.
Hope whatever it is..... has been
fun and enjoyable for you.

Had a fun and enjoyable week here, 
busier than usual, which is fine, but
have to say I am happy I don't have
 a lot of things I have to do today.  
So hoping for a more restful 
day today!

Pics today are from Fall's past
at Cozy Place......so on with my
Thankful list............

# 1 and 2

Thankful for my Paternal Grand-

mother Nellie, whom I was named

after.  She has been in Heaven with
 Jesus for over 28 years now, but 
 Sept. 22nd was her birthday.

 Thankful for one of my Dearest

and Best friends who is really

like a Sister, Vicki who also

has the same birth date.

Both of these ladies have had a

huge impact on my life.

#3 and 4

Thankful for a fun day out walking

 in the mall, picking up lil darling

 and playing awhile, then going out

shopping at Wally World and going

to dinner at Carrabas!  There food

is always amazing, and thankful that
 we had just the nicest and most polite
 and helpful server ever. Such a good
 reminder of what a blessing we can be
 to others if we are kind, considerate
 and helpful to others.  He came to our

table with our water glasses and

 bread and olive oil before he even

greeted us or asked us anything

.....I haven't seen

anyone do that in years!!

#5

Thankful we started painting our 

saddle back stools we got a few

 months ago finally.  They are 

looking great already and look

so much nicer under the break-

fast bar, and hoping to finish
them this week.

#6

Thankful for the sweet sight

of seeing my neighbor who is

raising her Grandson, standing

out in the dark at 6 a.m. to make

sure her Grandson is safe until

the bus comes.  He is a Senior

in High School, and such a

 precious young man who has

 been thru more than any child 

should ever have to go through.

I knew she did this when he was

younger, but didn't know she

was still doing it.........what a

blessing she has been to this

child wo is now almost Adult.

#7

Thankful for something I heard

Joel Osteen say that I had never

thought of in this way before.

He was asking what do we have

on our throne?? Is it worry, fear,
bitterness, etc  Meaning if it is
 worry, fear, bitterness, etc, then
we have taken God off the
 throne and put these other things
in His place.  That was just such
a great word picture and so help-
ful for me as our world spins
crazier and crazier these days.
A great reminder that none of it
takes God by surprise, and that
He has it all under control, our
job is to pray and to trust!!

#8

Thankful for a very meaningful
answer to prayer concerning
direction this week.

#9 
Thankful my SIL Susan who had
cataract surgery on Tues. did so
well, and can already see so well
 and she still has to get the othe
 eye done yet. So I would say the
 surgery was a success.  PTL




#10
Thankful for texting, which is very
new to me in the last year, but have
just been sending out some random
texts in the last few days to
 encourage a few people and the
results have been a blessing for
both of us, so think this is gonna
be a fun thing to do often.

#11
Thankful that I found a jacket
top that I am hoping will look
good over a dress I already
have.  They didn't have the
right size but thankfully they 
were able to order it in the
right size,  so should get
it sometime within a week.
Am so hoping it works, as it
is always nice to have some-
thing new to wear



#12 
Thankful that my son, Scott has 
gotten so many of my hubbies 
good qualities and talents. 
 He is an amazing man, much
 like his Dad.  He had an
emergency plumbing situation
arise, and he handled it just
the way his Dad would have.
He took the bull by the horns
and figured out how to do
it himself, saving them lots
of money.......

Well, here's another week of 
Cozy Place Thankfuls.....


Glad you could come by and
hope you feel encouraged
when you leave.


Have a lovely weekend,

Blessings,
Nellie

Scripture Sunday

Welcome to Fall 

Sweet Friends,

She has officially arrived!!

Here is the scriptures for today.....

For some reason I always think of

them in the Fall.

 There is a time for everything, 

and a season for every activity

 under the heavens: 

 a time to be born and a time to die,

 a time to plant and a time to uproot, 

 a time to kill and a time to heal,

 a time to tear down and a time to build, 

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance, 

 a time to scatter stones 

and a time to gather them,

 a time to embrace and 

a time to refrain from embracing,

 a time to search and a time to give up,

 a time to keep and a time to throw away,

 a time to tear and a time to mend,

 a time to be silent and a time to speak, 

 a time to love and a time to hate, 

a time for war and a time for peace. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NIV

Have a Lovely Fall Season,

Blessings Abundant,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday Sept. 20, 2018, and Beauty Berries

I will praise the LORD,
I will praise the LORD, 
who counsels me; 
even at night
 my heart instructs me.
Psalm 16:7 NIV



Greetings Sweet Friends,

So what cha' been up to lately??
Are you done with your Fall
decorating or maybe just getting
started??

Well, I am thrilled to be done
with mine and just enjoying it
now.  Had so much fun doing
it as always.

Pictures today are from our
"Beauty Berry" bush in our
 back yard. I just think they
are sooooooo pretty, and
thought you might enjoy
them too...

#1

Thankful our daughter and hubby

made it thru Hurricane Florence

in great shape physically and

materially.  Even tho I said it

before here, it bears repeating

again because God was so good!

#2 and 3

Thankful for my hubby/Mr. fix

it......as he put our new chairs

together, and did a great job as

always and Thankful that they

make our kitchen look so nice

 and bright with a whole new

look.

#4

Thankful to have finished all
my Fall decorating and have
gotten all my Spring/Summer
things packed away, so now
just enjoying it all very much.

#5

Thankful for a really nice time

 with our son, Scott and wife,

Megan and lil darling on 

Sunday.

#6

Thankful for an quick and easy.
no cost idea that struck me for 
making a new Fall wreath for out-
side, since I threw away the old 
one last year,  as it was looking
 rather shabby.  

#7
Thankful for some really pretty
buttercream yellow carnations
I found at the grocery store.
They look lovely in my kitchen,
and were a nice treat.



#8

Thankful for all the pretty and
free printables out there in blog
land, that help me with my
seasonal decorating. 
Love them!

#9 and 10
Thankful for Sonny's mild bar-b-cue
sauce (my all time favorite, as I am
 very picky about bar-b-cue sauce) and 
thankful they now sell it at our local
 grocery store (Publix).
We had it on some boneless pork 
ribs that hubby grilled on Tuesday
night.   Delish!

#11
Thankful for these gorgeous berries
God created.  They are certainly
named appropriately, they are
called "Beauty Berries",  they
simply fascinate me.  This bush
just popped up in our backyard
 a few years ago, and it has sure
been a delight.



#12
Thankful for the fun antics of the
 wild life in our back yard. Got
 to witness one of  the 2 lil brown
bunnies that has taken up residence
in our backyard woods, running all
 over the yard and jumping like 3 ft. 
in the air a few times, because of 
friendly lil gray squirrel that seemed
 like he was trying to befriend him.
 The lil squirrel was hopping around
 following him and was so frisky and
 was flitting his tail all around in his
 excitement, but as soon as he would 
get too close to the bunny, the bunny
would take off running in circles.
 Then one time the bunny made a run
 at the squirrel and then he took off....
It was really so adorable as I think
they both wanted to play but weren't
sure if they could trust each other.
Made for fun entertainment for us.
One of the many reasons we love
living here......

Well, here's to another week at
 Cozy Place.


Glad you stopped by......
and hope you share something you 
are Thankful for..........
or
 maybe reminded of something you
 have been blessed by this week.


Have a lovely weekend,

Love, Hugs and
Mid September Blessings,

Nellie

Fall Foyer and Livingroom Part 1

Hello Sweet Friends,

So how are ya??  

Doing well,  I hope.

Know lots of you already have

your homes all dressed up for Fall,  

and now I do too.....So thought

I would share some of my fun

with you.............

So welcome to my foyer and

living room......

Click on any pic to enlarge

for your viewing pleasure.

The square picture here is sort of 

hard to see especially in the first

 picture but it is really just  a pc. of

 scrapbooking paper that I taped to

 the frame with tape because I thought

it was so pretty and Fall like  and 

added a bit of bling.

You can see it a lil bit better here.

This cute lil scarecrow was a gift

from my neighbor a few years ago.

I put her near the front door because

I have a scarecrow on my front door.

So  thought they sort of go
 together......

Still loving our all in one furniture

 piece....love seat/chaise lounger/ bed 

that we purchased last year from

 World Market. It has been a fun

and useful piece of furniture

This pillow is really a spring pillow

as it has writing and flowers on the
 opposite side,  so turned it over and
 pinned this swatch of fabric around
 it, then stuck on a cute scrapbook

embellishment. Perfect for Fall
now............

Used a Buffalo check tablecloth as

a throw to add some Fall color, and
 love using this ruffled pillow I have
had for awhile that is wrapped
with a burlap ribbon.......

Another pc. of matching fabric

added to the tray on the coffee

table, along with my favorite

magazines, candles and pine

cones. This is the table where

we do homeschooling with

lil darling on Weds.....

So having everything on the

tray makes it easy to move

when needed.

I have had these wooden stack

tables for about 43 yrs. now and 

still love them.....My Mom gave

them to us when we bought our

 first home.  


Well, stay tuned for Part 2
next week.....

Thanks for dropping by,


Love, Hugs and 
Blessings,

Nellie
