Greetings Sweet Friends,

and 

Welcome to April........

Hope it has been a good week for you.......

Are you ready for Easter??

It has been a good one here, just been 

doing sympathy cards and writing some

thing special.....and lazing a bit too, as

it's been a bit of an emotional week,

yet a very happy week too, you'll see.

I am pretty much ready for Easter

as far as the planning, just got to

do the cooking and table setting yet.

Pictures Today are of our Kitchen,

 I decided to go with green accents 

for Spring this year, they have been 

cobalt for while now, So was feeling  monochromatic for a change.  lol

So on with my Thankful list.....

#1

Thankful that my Son was in town

today, as my S-i-l  Susan's dog was 

 pretty much dying and needed to be

 put to sleep, and she couldn't walk,

 so they had to carry her to the truck

to get her to the vet. Cause she is a

very big dog, so hubby could not have

 done that by himself without hurting

himself anyway, and neither Susan 

or I would have been strong enough

to help him.

#2

Thankful that one of our friends

that had to go to the emergency

room is okay,  they thought he

might be having a heart attack,

anyway, they did a stress test

and all that,  and have referred

him to a Cardiologist, and he is

out of the hospital, at least

and feeling good.

#3

Thankful for a wonderful Sunday at church and then a wonderful afternoon and evening with family celebrating my birthday (a day early) but the best time for us to get 

together.  My heart is full and feeling

 very loved and blessed.

#4

Thankful for all the lovely cards, gifts and 

facebook messages.

#5

Thankful for the lovely dinner hubby and

our Son prepared for me.  It was all delicious.

Sirloin steak, baked Potatoes, salad and rolls.

Chocolate salted caramel cake for dessert.

#6

Thankful to hear that they will be able to

 live stream our dear friend Arlene's Memorial 

Service on April 3rd from her church in 

Tennessee.  So we should be able to watch

it here at home.

#7

Thankful to discover that Tate's bake Shop in

New York, now has some lemon cookies and we were able to buy them at my local Publix grocery store.  They are a limited edition cookie, probably just for Easter or Spring,

 I am guessing,  but they are a real treat!

#8

Thankful to have new tires on our Van to make

 our driving more safe, especially when it's

raining.

#9

Thankful for a much needed nap on Tuesday,

 think all the activity of the week before and

some loss of sleep finally had caught

 up with me.

#10

Thankful to see some new growth on

 our poinsettias that I brutally cutback

 a few weeks ago, hubby was thinking

 they were dead........but I still had hope, 

so was very happy to see those

 teeny leaves.

#11

Thankful that I have finally decided on our

menu for Easter dinner, but still trying to 

decide on a tablescape.  If I can get some

yellow daffodils, or bright yellow flowers

of some kind, think I am gonna go with

the new tablecloth my daughter gave me

for my birthday.  It's so bright, 

 beautiful, and Springy.

Note: Couldn't find the flowers I needed

so decided to go with my initial plan

so will maybe use the tablecloth from

 my daughter for Mother's day or

a summer table.

#12

Thankful that I had the opportunity and

blessing to write something to be read at my 

dear friend Arlene's Memorial Service this

 coming weekend.

  It was hard to write because there is just so

 many great things to say about her because

 she was an extraordinary woman. I am

Just hoping I captured her wonderful

character traits as well as I wanted to.....

It was long and it could have been way

longer .... hard to condense 47 years

 of friendship into a few paragraphs.

Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week,

Thanks for stopping by

and

 

Welcome to April Blessings,

and

Happy Easter!

Love and Hugs,

Nellie
