Thankful Thursday March 25, 2021, Pics of Hubby and Lil darlings Birthday table

 

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............

#1

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

like........Click here!

#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.

#12

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
