I will give thanks to the LORD because of
his righteousness and will sing praise to
the name of the LORD Most High.
Psalm 7:17 NIV
Morning Sweet Friends,
Hope you all have a very lovely Easter,
and got to spend time with family/
or friends. We had a good day with
family but it was only 4 of us, but
definitely better than none! Course,
we missed those that couldn't be
here, but it is what it is.....
Pictures today are from Easter/
Spring at our house this year.
So on with my Thankfuls.......
I try to write Thankfuls daily
while I remember them, cause
if I wait a week, I have a hard
time remembering back to the
first of the week. Guess it is that
age thing........lol So if it seems
they are from a week ago, some
of them are.....lol
#1
Thankful that our Easter Table is all
set and ready for Sunday! So just
looking forward to it now.
#2
Thankful that my friend Arlene's family
really loved what I wrote for her
Celebration of Life Service. It was
easy to write as she was such an
amazing person....
#3 and 4
Thankful that we got to watch her Service
on Saturday, and it was just beautiful in
every way.....just like Arlene. Her Daughter
did a beautiful job of reading my letter
and reading those of others and even
was able to speak some herself. Thankful
that she is a chip off the ole block, as
they say, she is so much like her Mother
and such a beautiful and dear girl,
really a woman she is nearing 40 but
She's a girl to me still.....lol
She has been amazing in the process
of all her Mom's sickness, taking such
good care of her Mom and anything else
that needed to be done. She has been
an awesome help to her Dad as well.
So thankful for Brenda and all she
has done for her Mom and Dad.
They really could not ask for a better
Daughter and Son-in-love.
#5
Thankful that as much of the cooking
as could be done is done for Easter
dinner tomorrow. We are having a
special dish called "Party Chicken" and
rice pilaf (for recipe click here) and
a salad with fruit, Broccoli casserole
rolls, and carrot cake.
I can hardly wait........lol
#6
Thankful for a lovely Easter Service.
It was so great to see our church
full again, our choir doing a Special
Song, and seeing people we haven't
seen in over a year, which also
included the first 2 things as well.
and way less masks every Sunday.
Such a Blessing!
#7
Thankful for a lovely time spent
with the family and a lovely
dinner, and some card playing! lol
#8
Thankful for work we got done in our
front yard on Monday and Tuesday.
It was nice to be out there as the
weather was great. My allergies
weren't too happy about it, but
oh well........A girls gotta live...lol
#9
Thankful for leftovers from Easter
dinner, they have been all or part of
dinner for 2 nights. Love that about
hosting as well.......and also that I
can send some home with everyone
who wants it. Learned that from
my Dad, he was a chef and a
restaurant owner, and he was
always sending us home with food.
Loved that and Miss that....
since he has been in heaven for
27 yrs. now.
#10 and 11
Thankful for a good time taking
our lil granddaughter out to an
early dinner at Longhorn's, and
then having her for a sleepover
on Wednesday night. Also,Thank-
ful for getting to have her all day
on Thursday. We all had a great
time. We don't get to have her that
long since she is in school now....but
this week she is on Spring break, and
soon she will be out of school, so we
will get to see her more, but we are
very thankful we get to see her as
much as we do, as I realize some grandparents hardly get to see their
grandchildren, which is sad for them
and their grandchildren.
#12
Thankful for a clean Van....it was so nice out
and we were looking for some different things
to do while lil darling was here, so I just
suggested washing the car, and she was yes,
lets do that, I love washing the car and I
am good at it. So we did, and it was fun
amd she did a great job! lol
And who knew she would be so excited
about it...she is at a stage where she
really likes helping out....love seeing
that and what a good job she does.
Well that's it for Cozy Place this week.
Thanks for stopping in
and
Hope you have a great Weekend.
Love, Hugs and April Blessings,
Nellie
