You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you,
God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.
Psalm 59:17 NIV
Christmas time Greetings
Sweet Friends,
Wow, It is only 9 days away, the time is
flying by, can hardly believe it. Hope you
and yours are enjoying this wonderful
Season of the year. We are as best as
we can since hubby is feeling under the
weather, so just getting lots of rest these
last 4 days or so.
Pictures today are from the Etagere'
shelves in our living room this year.
So on with my Thankfuls
#1
Thankful for a lovely evening out with our Son
and lil darling. We went to her School Christmas
program, then out to dinner at Olive Garden and
then over to see their Christmas Decorations.
#2
Thankful for so many great things that are happening
for our dear friend of 40 yrs. who broke both her
legs 10 1/2 mos. ago. She just had cataract surgery
which went really well........not only can she see better
but she can see colors again, they were able to go
on a trip to the mountains a month or so ago and
then to her Son's house for Thanksgiving who lives
about 6 hrs. or so away, and had a great time,
and her boys took care of everything, she is about
to get rid of her wheel chair and her hospital bed,
as she hasn't used the wheel chair for a long time,
as she is just using a walker now, but she is
continuing to progress, (and we are all praying
for a full recovery for her). She is also learning to
walkup stairs now, and is doing good, but still
practicing, and then they will be going to her
other Sons house for Christmas and will be able
to see all of her Son's and their family. That will
also entail some long travel time too, and getting
up and down stairs So we are so rejoicing with
she and her hubby at all these wonderful events
in their lives, given all they have been through
this year, and of course, adding all the other
things going on in our country these last 2 years.
#3
Thankful that things are continuing to go well
with our daughter and the house she is working on.
Mostly others doing the work inside right now,
but she is having to oversee and check on things
to make sure the work is getting done and
she and hubby have put some things together,
and trying to get it in some what of shape
as the owners are coming to do some work
in there too, after Christmas! Then once they are
gone, she will be able to get in there and do
what she loves best.....the decorating and
finishing touches. I think they are gonna
be very pleased.
#4
Thankful there are so many great Pastors online
to listen to since we stayed home today this Sunday
cause hubby was feeling like he was coming down
with a cold, so not feeling horrible but didn't want
to risk giving it to anyone.
#5
Thankful they live streamed our Christmas
Program at our church so we got to see it
on Sunday Evening. It was really lovely.
#6
Thankful that all of our friends that we
checked on, that live in the areas were all
those tornadoes hit were all fine. Praying
for all these dear folks who were in the
path of those storms. Just such a terrible
storm, unprecedented for sure.
#7
Thankful for a fun day with lil darling
on Thursday. She is out of school so we
could just have a fun day. We had break
fast, then she painted my Toe and fingers,
(which is a newly acquired skill for her,
and the look really pretty I might add,
then we watched "The Christmas cookie
challenge" on TV for inspiration, then
we made cookies with our cookie press,
(Grammy is totally out of practice as I
haven't used that thing in 20yrs. or
more. lol) so let's put it this way....we
will not be asked to be a participant
on the Christmas cookie challenge!! lol
But we did have fun and ate a lot of
spritz cookies (I think they are really
butter cookies, myself) even tho we didn't
have the cute lil cookies they were
supposed to be they did taste pretty
good, then we played school for awhile,
and made some candies, and did a
dance recital (and Brooklyn insisted
Grammy needed to dance too....well, I
can tell I am majorly out of shape...........
and needs to get with the program. lol
and there was also some e-card looking,
we have done this since she was 2 or
so. You can check out ecards on a lot
of sights, and some are pretty cute and
funny...........Hubby was not feeling good
so tried to stay away from her as much
as he could as to not make her sick,
and we had aired out the house, and
sprayed with lysol, and changed the
A/C filter as well.....
So we had a great day!
#8
Thankful for this candy recipe, it is the
easiest I have ever seen, and anytime
I take them somewhere everyone wants
to know how to make them and every
single one is eaten.
Hard to really even call it a recipe really....
.only 3 ingedients and super simple.
Oh.... you will have to scroll down on
that post a bit to see it.
the snowmen were needed somewhere else so had to move them and replace with the Santa. lol
#9
Thankful that altho hubby is not feeling
great and is very tired (he has a cold
but no fever) he is not down in the bed
type of sick, and he is usually one for
running a high fever and doesn't want
to do anything but sleep. So at least
none of that is happening.
#10
Thankful that so far, I am okay.....I had
a headache one day, but think it was
allergy related cause took some tylenol
sinus and have been fine every since,
other than being a lil tired.
#11
Thankful for our first pot of Chili this week.
I only make it in the Winter time. Course,
it is more like Fall weather here right now,
( at night anyway) but it was good as always.
#12
Thankful my Daughter had some time to
talk today and we've been texting back and
forth a lot all day. She's been showing me
things she is putting in the house she is
working on, which is fun for both of us.
We only wish we could be together in real
time to do that.........but we will take what we
can get..............lol Thankful for phones and
phone pictures.
That's it for Cozy Place this week.
This is the 3rd Christmas Edition.
Glad you could come by
and
Hope you have a lovely rest of the week.
Love, Hugs and
Merry Christmas Blessings,
Nellie
