Thankful Thursday January 23, 2020, Winter/Valentines day decor from the past.#3

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, 
since as members of one body you were
 called to peace. And be thankful.

Colossians 3:15 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a lovely week.

Ours has been lovely for sure....
Had a really good time at our
daughter and son-in-loves, and
always sad to leave her, but also
happy to get home, cause like you
know "there is no place like home".

Pictures today are of Winter
decor in the past.

So now on with my Thankfuls.

#1

Thankful for a safe and uneventful

trip to South Carolina and back.

#2

Thankful for so many fun things

we got to do.... Playing cards, and

Scattergories, eating out, cooking

 together, shopping at Home Goods,

and at the "At Home" store.

Getting to visit their new beach

 cottage and getting to see all the 

new things they have done to

reno and spruce it up, as well as 

helping them with some things.

Also, for a bit of Crafting. They

 have old windows that came off

 the beach house, so we printed

 some neat graphics and put them

on each pane of glass, and she 

put it on facebook market place

to sell.  We really liked it, and

think someone else will too

hopefully!

Also watching and enjoying 

their new pup Bentley who is

now about 20 pds, and they

watched a friends dog as well

for the last half of our time

there.  Those dogs were a riot

as they played...they run at top 

speed and slide all around

wrestling with each other and

having the time of their life.

(Roxi the other dog left on

Monday night so I am sure

Bentley really misses her.)

and Dee and I's most favorite

 thing to do is spend time one

on one talking or doing a pro-

ject and we got to do quite a

 bit of that this time which is

rare anymore, so that was

quite a blessing.

#3

Thankful for some new and fun

 discoveries while there:

A Brand New Mexican Restaurant 

we all really liked but don't remember

the name of it, (it's not a chain rest-
aurant tho) but it was in the same

shopping center as the store I talk

about below.

A trip to a new grocery store we

 have never heard of but will be

 coming to Florida in the next year

 (hopefully one near us). For those

 of you who know about Publix 

Supermarkets, you know they
 sell Greenwise products.

Well, this was a Greenwise Super

market, and a really neat store.

We got some amazingly good

cookies from their bakery while

 there too, and they were so

yummy and the Mgr. who was

 originally from Florida came and

 placed a $13. Cheesecake with 

Strawberries and blueberries on it,

in our cart for free........she said it

 was either going home with us or

in the trash, so naturally we took it 
home with us and It was delicious!!

(We are think she must of heard us

 talking to some of her employees 

about loving the store and being

 from Florida).  My daughter and

them will definitely be visiting

there again.  It was their first

visit too.

Also, they had discovered a
really neat donut shop that they
introduced us to called the
"Fractured Prune"
Such fresh and delicious cake
donuts with all sorts of neat
glazes and toppings. We each
 got 3 of our own choosing. 
 Just a few of the names that
 I can remember:
French Toast, Dulce de Leche,
Ms. Prunella, and lemonaide,
Salted Caramel, and they were
all really good and what a fun
and yummy breakfast.  lol
We cut them in quarters and
 sampled them all............lol
If you have been reading my
blog long you know we love
finding new things to eat and
 new stores we enjoy browsing.
We are very easily entertained,
what can I say!!  lol

#4

Thankful that I found a  white board 

to put on my fridge that I have been

looking for, and some presents for

 lil darling, and a pretty mercury glass

 blush pink candle-holder/vase, and
hubby found an angel for lil darling
for next Christmas and 2 of those 
ceramic Christmas cottages on sale.

#5

Thankful to have the ability to see both

of our children and their families so

often....as I have friends who rarely get

to see their children and Grandchildren,

and it is very hard for them.  So we

know how blessed we are....

#6

Thankful that lil darling got the
drain or whatever it was taken out
and got the all clear from the Dr.
on Monday and is healing well.
Very happy to hear that!



#7

Thankful that we are all unpacked
from our trip now, and I can get on 
with taking down our Christmas 
stuff tomorrow. I decided not to 
try and tackle it before we left....
just took down the tree and 
outside decorations

#8
Thankful that my sweet neighbor
sent over some of her wonderful
veggie soup.


#9
Thankful that all the Christmas things
are down, not packed up yet because I
decided to redecorate first....and since
I decided to keep my poinsettias up
and use red for accents this year, it
just seemed so much warmer since
it was so cold here. Also thought I
 might need some of the Christmas
things that can look like Winter as
well.

#10 and 11
Thankful to get to see lil darling
today after 12 days.  She loved
her presents and had to try them
on....she loves clothes
Also Thankful for hearing her
sing "It is well, with my soul".
She learned it in chapel at her
school.  Precious!


#12
Thankful that we were able to 
find a place in our Winter Decor
for 2 lil charming Village type
houses that typically gets used
at Christmas.  My hubby has
always loved those villages,
and we found 2 on sale at
Michaels when we were in SC
for 80% off, so they came home
with us.  He is gonna try to con-
vert them into battery operated
houses that turn themselves
on and off....which will be
great if he can do it cause then
we can put them anywhere and
not have to plug them in, but I
found a place we could put both
of them so we could plug them
in for now.  Looks so cute!

Well, that's it for Cozy Place 
this week,  this is the SC
travel edition...........lol


Thanks for coming by....


Have a Super Duper weekend!


Love, Hugs and
Warm Cozy Blessings,

Nellie
