Happy Sunday

Sweet Friends,

Here is the verse for today.

This is what the Sovereign Lord, 

the Holy One of Israel says:

"In repentance and rest is you salvation,

in quietness and trust is your strength.:

Isaiah 30:15

Have a quiet and Trusting Day,

Thankful Thursday April 25, 2019, Spring/Easter decorating in the family room #4

Glory in His holy name;

Let the hearts of those who 

seek the Lord Rejoice

Look to the Lord and his strength;

seek his face always.

1 Chronicles16:10-11

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope it has been a good week 

for you......it's been a good week

here. Can hardly believe we are

 about to go into May already.  

This year is just flying by it

seems to me, how about you??

Do you feel that way??

Pictures today are more of

Spring/Easter decorating in

the Family room.  I am late

as usual so just gonna get

on with my thankful post.

#1

Thankful that I got all my 

Easter dinner prepared on

Sat. and just had to pop it

in the oven.  Always love

that, as I don't like spend-

time in the kitchen on a

holiday.  

#2

Thankful for a really lovely

Easter Sunday Service.

#3

Thankful that Scott (our son) 
and his wife Megan and lil
 darling were able to come for 
Easter dinner, and my 
sister-in-law Susan as well. 

We ate later in the day as
 they did things with Megans
family too.

#4

Thankful for a fun after-

noon and evening with the

family as well.  We had 3

Easter Egg hunts, so lil
darling loved that, and we
all had a good time too.

#5

Thankful that the fellow

came to cut our tree on Tues.

and that everything went well,
 no damage to anything or 
anybody.  Always a good 
thing........lol

#6

Thankful to find out that

the tree was diseased and

rotting on the inside, as it

was another reason that

made it easier to let it go.

Just hate to cut down a

living tree and it was look-

ing so pretty again after our

episode with it last Fall. So

 it was hard to believe it was

 rotting inside, but we saw 

it with our own eyes.

Lovely printables from Ann at
On Sutton Place. Visit her here
or type in OnSuttonPlace.com.
You will enjoy it....

#7

Thankful for the way the

Lord goes before us in

situations and protect us and

provides for us even when

 we have no idea something

is even a problem. Like the

tree....The Lord knew about it 

being rotten, but we had no 

idea, and it could have fallen

 during a storm on something 

or someone, so really happy

 to have it down now.

#8

Thankful for these new 

veggie tots and Brocoli

tots made by Green Giant.

You can find them in the

frozen foods, and they are

really good.  The veggie

tots are sweet potatoes

and cauliflower.  They

taste like sweet potato

fries.  We had them for

dinner and really enjoyed

them with our leftover

ham from Easter.

This was where Miss Bunny
hung out before Easter din din.
You can see her here.



#9

Thankful for a nice time
going to lil darlings end of
 the school year assembly
and out to lunch with she
and her parents to Olive
Garden (her restaurant of
choice) to celebrate.


#10

Thankful that our yard trash
workers took away most of
the debri from our tree, we
still have some more for
next week, but we knew 
that would be the case.

With posterized affect
#11
Thankful for a very nice
but unexpected snail mail
card from someone I don't
know....just know of! She 
was one of the recipients
of the cards I made for my
late cousin.


#12
Thankful for a marathon
phone call with my daughter
Today, since hubby wanted
to saw up the rest of the wood
into logs and  clean up the 
debri from the tree, and her
 hubby was working.
Next best thing to spending
the day together. Makes us
happy girls............lol

Well, this was our week at 
Cozy Place.

Thankful that you could
come and visit.....

Have an eggcellent week!!


Love, Hugs and
Post Easter Blessings,

Nellie

Our Easter Table

Happy Wednesday

Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a Wonderful 

Easter celebration last Sunday.

We sure did, it was a very enjoy-

able day with family, but we

did miss our daughter, son-in-

love and new furry grandson

dog.......lol  but we are getting

 used to it since we don't have

a choice. They come for as 

many holidays as they can

which is such a blessing.

Well, not only were we waiting

 for Easter Din Din

but so was Miss Bunny......

Isn't see just the cutest!!

I decided on green, peach and 

white this year........

This was lil darlings place.

Here is part of the centerpiece,  

you will see that there are 

pinky peach carnations

on both sides as well as 

egg cup candles.

Borrowed Mr. Bunny from the

 coffee table..........lol

Used my white corelle ware with my

 silver rimmed Rosenthal dessert plates.

I tried my shabby chic ones but this 

table needed white rather than cream.

Used these pretty peach stemware

that belonged to my late mother-in-law

Always like to add some candy and a bit

more than 1 pc. since it is Easter and

since the adults no longer get Easter

baskets.  lol

This is the opposite side of the

 centerpiece, just added the 

flowers over there with some

 faux eggs.

and see the lil Easter basket on the

corner of the platter??  The platter

is made so that you can change 

out that piece for any holiday.

Our daughter gave it to me last

year for My birthday or Mother's

day.....so I now have a white and

 gold present, a red santa

hat for christmas, the Easter basket

and a Jack O' lantern, I just got for

my birthday.  It is a very heavy duty

platter and is made by Nora Fleming.

I have used it so much more in my 

decorating than for food even.

A great idea so you don't have to

store so many different holiday 

platters, just saw them even have

things in melamine now.

If you are interested in seeing

more about it, as they have many

other items as well.  Just click here

or go to NoraFleming.com

P.S.

I get no compensation in any way for

telling you about her products, I just thought

 it wasa very unique gift idea, and love mine,

 so thought some of you might too!

Heres a nice overview so you can

 see the whole centerpiece.

I love to use carnations because 

they really last a long time (about 

10-14 days) if you use the flower

 fresh that usually comes with them,

and just keep adding water every

few days.

I want to thank Yvonne over at

 Stone Gable

for these beautiful Printables

 she offered to everyone for Easter, 

 so I used them as a decoration

 at each place.

Aren't they lovely and it was such

 a nice touch. If you have never visited

Yvonne at Stone Gable you are really

missing out, especially if you love

decorating.  Stop by for a visit, you

won't be sorry.  Just click here, or

go to StoneGableblog.com

Posterized affect for fun.

Notice there is a candle on the platter

with the bunny.  It is a yankee candle

and it is the most wonderful scent.

So the next time you visit one check

it out and I bet you will go home

with one if you haven't already

discovered them.

It is called  "Magnolia and Lily"

It smells  simply divine.

P.S. Same goes for this product

as with the Nora Fleming things.

I get no compensations, just

sharing something I discovered

and really like.........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for coming by and

hope you enjoyed your visit.

Have a great rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and 

 After Easter Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 18, 2019, Spring/Easter in the Family Room #3

 So then, just as you received

 Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live

 your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, 

strengthened in the faith as you were taught, 

and overflowing with thankfulness.

Colossians 2:6-7  NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,


How has your day been going??
Well, I hope....
Mine has been good so far, slept in, 
talked with my daughter, straightened
 up the house while talking, and got in 
lots of steps on my fit bit, did some
 candy bags for the table and a gift
bag for lil darling and am to start 
setting the table for Sunday's dinner.

Here are more pics for the family
room,  If you missed number #2
and would like to see....
click here

Well, best get on with it since
 I am already late.........lol

#1

Thankful for a sweet surprise

from my cousin who just 

lost his sister a few weeks

ago....as he has been going

thru her things he found a

picture of my Paternal

Grandmother when she

was younger and sent it

to me.  I remember seeing

it in her home as a child.

So what a precious gift.

#2

Thankful that we got a lot

of work done towards our

business this week, more
to go, but it's coming
along...........

#3

Thankful that got our shed

framed out and a small

window put in this week.

#4

Thankful that my daughter

and son-in-love got home

safely from California after 

having a great time and then 

getting stranded in Texas

 overnight cause of all the

 bad storms.

#5

Thankful that the man doing

our shed was able to give us

a referral to someone who

can help us since we are

having what is probably

drain field problems.

#6

Thankful that I got all the

Easter cards mailed off to

my cousins family members.

#7

Thankful for strawberry

lemonade from Wendy's.

That is some good stuff.

#8

Thankful to have figured

out how I want our shed doors

 and shutters to look, so I can 

tell our contractor.

#9
Thankful that the Lord allowed
our big tree out front to have
broken off last Fall and had to 
be cut back so severely that it
 doesn't look as nice as it used
 to....because we have to cut
it down because it is what has
called our drain field problems,
and they can't guarantee our
new drainfield if we leave it
up,  so it has to come down!
But due to what happened to
it last year, that makes it some
what easier to let it go.....and
it will also solve some problems
with our driveway, as over the
years it has cracked and raised
the driveway some and we want
to replace it next year (it was
the plan for this year) but now
with the drainfield it will be
pushed back, but it will be an
easier fix if we no longer have
the tree....we are really gonna
miss the shade tho.

#10
Thankful for something so
cute that lil darling said to
me when she was leaving
on Wednesday.
She is such a riot....She said
Good Bye, My beautiful
princess..........lol
Makes me smile everytime
I think about it......
I am sure someone must
have said that to her.....
Probably her Mommy or
 other Gram-ma.


#11
Thankful for a good nights
rest.  I slept 11 hours...I have
been waking up too early on
too many mornings and guess
it finally caught up with me.
So feel very good today....
yesterday (Thurs.) I felt like
someone hooked a vacuum
cleaner to me and sucked 
out all my energy.  lol

#12
Thankful that we were able
to get everything else we
needed for Easter Thursday
evening, so now I can just
focus on the table and food.
Have been craving my Mom's
recipe for potato salad, so we 
are having that and Ham, 
baked beans, and something
we all love called "Strawberry
Fluff" (a jello/coolwhip dish,
super easy to make)and my SIL
 Susan is making fresh green
 beans and bringing carrot cake
from our fav bakery, Publix.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for coming by and
Hope you have a Wonderful
Easter with your family
 and/or friends.

Love,  Hugs and
Happy Easter Blessings,

Nellie

Spring/Easter in the Family room #2

Happy Wednesday
Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a nice weekend
and week, so far.

  Also hope you weren't in any of

the areas where all the bad storms

 happened.

Our daughter and hubby got

 stranded in Texas overnight because 

of it, they headed home from Calif.

 on Sat. early afternoon and flew to 

Dallas, and then all the planes were 

cancelled going to their area. At

least they were able to get a hotel

room and a good nights sleep sans

luggage...........they finally made

it home Sunday late afternoon,

still sans luggage. They finally
got their luggage back Monday
evening.

Our weekend was good, they

came and worked on our shed
 some,  and we got some work 
done on our business, watched

a good movie, played some
cards, and church on Sunday,
and that's all can remember
right now.  lol  I wrote this
on Tuesday but didn't get
finished until today.

Thought I would show you
our Spring/Easter mantle in our
 family room.  If you missed 
part 1and would like to see it.
Just Click here.

So on with the mantle.....

Some pictures were taken at night, 
and others were taken in the daytime.

I had purchased these Beautiful
carved plaques back in February
when we were visiting my daughter
in S.C......actually bought them
for our master bath, but decided
to use them on the mantle for
spring, cause love how they show
up so well...........

and since we have all these LED
candles, thanks to hubby's new
 infatuation,  and mine too now....
I just decided to put them on these 
blue salad plates, as they make for
 a simple statement, and love that
they turn themselves on and off
 every evening and make the 
mantle looks so nice.

Also love this tall picture of the

 Amarillos I found some years

 back.  Very simple and modern

looking. Also like using my

white pitchers on the hearth

as well.  Just made for a very

simple yet pretty look.....

Did you notice there is some-

thing else

on the mantle now???

You have to look hard to see it.

It is difficult to get pics in this
room without reflections.

This cute lil lamb......

I kept thinking that maybe it just needed 

something in that lower right hand corner

 since that corner of the picture seems

kind of empty, and before I could think

of  anything to put there, lil darling was

 here helping me, when I first started

getting my Easter decorations out and

 she put the lamb right where I was

 thinking it needed something.  

Anyway, I loved it, and

thought it looked so cute.  Think she

has maybe gotten the decorating gene,

from her Mom, Dad, Aunt and Me.

But as I continued getting my 

other decorations out.....

 I came across my Jesus figurine

 that a neighbor/friend gave me

 years ago, so wound up putting

it in the place of the lamb since

I couldn't figure out a place that

it looked as nice.

But when lil darling came and

saw I had changed it, I saw her

lil face fall, so the next time she

cames I put the lamb back and

 move the figurine to another 

spot for the day, and since I put 

it in a lower place she seems to 

like to be able to look at it up 

close, so I decided to leave

it in the new spot.

She asked me why he was with

 children.....and I told her because

He says Children are the greatest

in His kingdom, and that He

really likes and loves lil children,

and she said does He like me??

 and I said, absolutely, you

are very special to Him.

Amazing how a figurine can

trigger such a great interaction.

and be a wonderful reminder 
of His great love for us!

I had a similiar conversation
with the lil boy that lives
across the street when he
saw the figurine years back.
He is about to graduate
 from High School this 
year.....
How time does fly......



Thanks for visiting today and
hope you enjoyed your visit.


Love, Hugs and
Pre Easter Blessings,

Nellie
