Thankful Thursday June 24, 2021, Our Father's Day Table 2021

You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress,

 my God on whom I can rely.   Psalm 59:17

 

Greetings Sweet Friends

Welcome to Summer,

Since it officially arrived on Monday.

Hope all the Dads at your house had a Wonderful

Father's Day, and that yall did a good job of spoiling

them for the day. Tried my best over here!!  lol

Here is our Father's Day Table for this year,  it all

started with this cute gift bag and these typical picnic

looking plates and napkins I found at the dollar tree.

Remember I told you about it last week.

Just added a blue apron, A grill towel that was a gift

from the kids a few years ago, some kitchen utensils, an

 oven mitt, bar-be-cue sauce, candles, and some stars, 

and some kabob skewers a timer, and a small flag decal

 on the opposite side.  Also had to add some boxes

 and tissue paper inside the bag so it would stay open....lol

 and added the things in where they looked good.

Also wound up using a table top corn hole game

to fill in some empty space.

Then used the paper plates and napkins to complete

the look,  also rolled the silverware in the napkins,

and rolled them and put them in the glasses.  I used

normal silverware, glasses and bowls for salad.

Our menu was filet mignon, baked potatoes, salad,

 garlic bread and banana pudding, and it was

all yummy if I do say so myself.  Course, our

Master Griller did the meat.....lol

and here we are..............My Sweet Hubby Jim, and Our Son Scott and our Granddaughter, Brooklyn.  We actually remembered

to take some pictures for a change.

and here's the rest of the family that was here......My Sister-in-law Susan and Granddaughter dog Lola.  Unfortunately, Our Daughter DeeAnna, Son-Son in Love, Jerry , and Grandson dog Lola couldn't be here, but the spoiled their Dad from afar.

So on with my Thankfuls.............

#1

Thankful for a surprise visit from a long time friend.

He is the husband of my dear friend who passed away

from cancer back the end of February.  It was great to

see him.  He has lost about 10 pds, and you can tell

he is still deep in grieve but think it is neat that he

decided to come to Florida to visit all his friends

and relatives. Cause think he was getting pretty

lonely.  So he spent the day and night and left

on Sat. afternoon for the home of other friends.

#2

Thankful again for the Lasagna my neighbor sent over

last week, as we wound up having that for dinner when

Randy was here.  Just had to throw together a salad

and bread and make his bed and we were good to go! 

#3

Thankful that I was able to get all the things done

for Father's day that needed to be done on Saturday.

afternoon and evening.  It would have been okay if

I didn't but I was pleased that I could. as I wanted

it to be nice for our Dads.

#4

Thankful that my Son and lil darling could be with

us for Father's Day.  So that made my hubby and

Son happy.

#5

Thankful for the good time we all had as

a family.  Played some Sorry and also

the wii.....and of course, did some eating

and chatting............lol

#6 and 7

Thankful that we decided to go look for furniture

again, and thankful we have finally found what we are

 looking for, and so glad we waited, cause the price 

was much better than what we found before, and

we wound up delaying it cause we weren't totally

sure about it......

Anyway think it was a divine delay, as it turned out

 better.............The new sofa also has a manual reclining

 sofa and love seat. All the others have to be plugged

 in or you have to have a battery pack for them, 

which we were not sure how well those work.  We

won't get it until some time in September tho, which

 we weren't really surprised by.

#8

 So Thankful for my hubby and what a good and kind

 Dad and hubby he is..........We are so blessed and thankful

 for the man that he is...........

#9

Thankful for my Son as well, he has turned out to be

 a really great Dad too.  Lil darling adores him and

 her Grampy.  And of course, he is a good Son too.

He and hubby are well loved men!

#10

Thankful that hubby had a big breakthrough

on a problem he was having with our website.

Problem fixed...........yippee.....

#11

Thankful that I decided to do a little research

on the company that makes the furniture we

were about to buy.  We saw many places where

they had bad reviews and a few people said

don't walk run away from it......so disappointing

as it is.....we are grateful that we checked and

didn't waste our money.  I have decided to see

 if we can find a good upholsterer and go in

that direction.........so will see! 

#12

Thankful for a wonderful day with lil darling

today.  and Thankful to hear she loves this

song that was taught to her by her music 

teacher at school, That used to go to our

church and taught my Daughter in the 

Youth choir.  It just doesn't seem like a

song an 8 yr. old would like, but she 

knows a lot of the words and like to

 see the lyrics so she can sing along. 

 That just so blessed my heart.

Click to hear song.

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

Thanks for coming by...............

Keep your light shining brightly,

Love, Hugs and Special

Summer Blessings,

Nellie
