But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
“The LORD is great!”
Psalm 40:16 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope this has been a good week for you!
Our has been mostly good, we have heard
some not so good news from a few friends
which was disturbing and has kept us
praying, but mostly it has been
a good week.
Pictures today are a Beachy Tablescape for
Hubby and Lil darlings birthday, which are
just 3 days apart. They both love the
beach. So it is natural looking for hubby
and whimsical for lil darling............

Thankful for a fun time out looking for
a new sofa. Found some hopefuls which
was encouraging, but they are not reclining
and think we are gonna really miss that
feature since we have been used to that
for almost 20 years. So still looking!! lol
#2
Thankful that each time we go looking
we learn more information in the process
and think it is helping us to narrow down
what we really want and hopefully how
to find it. Which would be great!
Cause this is taking way longer than
we imagined......
#3 and 4
Thankful that thoughts of my friend Arlene,
that passed away 3 weeks ago, are on my
mind daily. It is so amazing even when you
don't live around or see someone that much,
all the remembrances you have when they
are gone. Maybe it's because she was on
mind and in my prayers so many times
a day for the last 14 months as she battled
the cancer,I don't know, but I do know that
I walk into our guest bedroom and there
ar pictures she took, or go to my closet
and there is a blouse that I bought when
we were together, or a sweet book on
friendship she gave me for my birthday
years ago, or tea in the cabinet that she
introduced me to.....or thoughts of sweet encouraging words
that she spoke to me that come to mind.
They make me smile and weep, but
also make me so Thankful that I
had the privilege and Joy of having
such a wonderful friend as she, and
the Joy of knowing I will see here
again in heaven one day!
#5
Thankful for getting the time to play
with lil darling after school, we played
4 corners, school and she is the teacher,
we read, and we had wagon rides with
Grampy pulling us on his John Deere,
So much fun!!
#6
Thankful for dinner out at our favorite
Mexican restaurant. They make the
best Chicken Taco Salads.
#7
Thankful for sweet friends who came
by for a visit, with their Daughter
and Son-in-law and new baby who
is 4 mos. old, her name is Kylie and
she is so adorable Their Daughter
lives in N.C. and is visiting. Our
friend, her Mom, is so excited about
being a Grandmother, and of course,
is in love with Kylie. It was such a
sweet blessing to see them all, as
we have watched her Daughter
grow up as well.
#8
Thankful for chicken nachos
that I made for dinner last night.
We always enjoy them and it
seems like a dish that I seem to
always have ingredients on hand
to make. So it's a win/win!
Here's my recipe if you would
#9
Thankful to hear that Kris and
her hubby from over at "Junk
Chic Cottage", have found a
Condo that they love, and it was
right where they desired to be
and if all goes well they should be
able to move from their cottage
right into their new home/Condo.
A definite answer to prayer and
We will all be looking forward
to how they make it their own.
#10
Thankful for a sweet surprise
Easter card and lovely hand-
crafted gift for us and lil darling,
from a lovely lady at our church.
Thanks Elsie......
#11
Thankful for the beauty of all
the new leaves on all our oak
trees in our back and side yard,
so fresh and pretty and the most
beautiful shade of green the new
growth shows off! and Thankful
that hopefully all the oak pollen
will soon all be gone, and I can
venture outside in my yard
once again.

Thankful we got our Van serviced
on Tuesday. At the dealership we
go to they have free movies while
you wait for your car to be done.
So we saw 2 good movies. The
first one was"The Secret", don't
know how much of it we missed,
but the part we saw was really good,
and clean as well. The 2nd one was
"Midway", which wasn't a movie I
would have chosen to watch on my
own but hubby has wanted to see
it, and have to say, it was quite
enlightening, and probably a good
depiction of what happened during
World War 2, in the battle of Midway
It was tense and scary especially
knowing it was a true event in our
history and especially knowing my
hubbies Dad, and my belated
Father-in-law fought in that war
and was a tail gunner on a dauntless
die bomber during this battle at
Midway. Thankful I came out of
there in tears thinking of what my
Father-in-law must have gone
through, and realizing what a Hero
he was and we didn't even really
understand that like we do now. He
was on the Yorktowne Aircraft
Carrier during the Midway battle,
but the ship is now stationed in
Charleston, SC, not far from where
our daughter lives, as a military
museum, and my Husband and Son
have been on it, years ago, in fact
in the summer just before my
Father-in-laws passing! So 3
generations of my hubbies family
have walked on the Yorktowne.
Pretty neat!
Disclaimer: The movie does have some
cursing which lends truth to the old
saying "He cusses like a sailor" lol
Well, here's the latest run down
from Cozy Place
Thanks for your visit
and
Hope something sweet happens
for you this week,
Love and Blessings,
Nellie
