Thankful Thursday January 27, 2022, Winter/Valentines decorating from the past
Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
Psalm 66:8 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope this finds you feeling and doing well.
I can honestly say that is us, in the last few days
Praise the Lord!!
I have just been getting the house back together,
and looking forward to seeing lil darling
today.......but my Son called a few hours ago and
said, he was on the way to get her from school
early cause she isn't feeling well and has a
headache. Which is how I started with this stuff,
so hoping and praying she doesn't have what we
had. If she does, when are thankful to be able to
say she didn't get it from us.
So to say we are disappointed would be an
understatement, cause we haven't been able
to see her for over 3 weeks mostly cause we
were sick. We were suppose to have her
tomorrow so guess we will see what
tomorrow brings.
Pictures are from Cozy Place Winter Decor
from the past.
So on with my Thankfuls......
#1
Thankful for another Sweet Friend, this time
from church who called and asked if we needed
some meals. Altho we didn't need to take her
up on it....it was still lovely and encouraging
to us that she asked and called out of concern.
#2
Thankful my cut is healing quite well.
Note: Just about healed completely.
#3
Thankful that today I felt pretty much like my
old self, and didn't wear out quite as much, so
hopefully coming to the end of this stuff.
#4
Thankful to have a lil creativity today, and got
a lil done on putting the house back together, and
started a few Valentines cards. So yippee for that!
#5
Thankful that a number of people we have been
praying for that were sick, are now doing fine.
Always encouraging to hear.
#6
Thankful we have survived a cold, flu or covid
or whatever it was, with Prayers, vitamins,
hydration, rest and sleep, eating well and our
oximeter, and staying home. We had a few bad
days, while we were running a fever, but after
that it was just being tired and coughing. So we
weren't feeling great but we weren't feeling
horrible either, but very Thankful to be feeling
good again, as it seems like an eternity since
we have been feeling somewhat normal.
#7
Thankful to wake up to 36 degrees and frosted
roofs and lawns. Winter has officially arrived
in my mind, anyway, as we rarely go into the
low 30's, here in Florida, think we were maybe
33-34 during the night. It is a bright clear
blue sky day too........gorgeous out!
Note: Sat. night we are going to 27 degrees,
it has been many many years since that has
happened here.
#8
Thankful to get out of the House. We took
a ride to a nearby beach town my daughter
had told us about, just to look at the houses
and just see a different change of scenery.
It was lovely....then we went to our fav Mexican
restaurant and to TJ Maxx, then came home
to watch a movie called "Candy Coated
Christmas". We wanted to watch it cause
Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond was an extra
in the movie. It was cute, and she did a great
job, her name was BEE, and she was truly
just herself. Love that! What you see is what
you get......
#9
Thankful that I am finally getting our house
back to normal, still have a bit more to go,
but just about there. Finished the living
room today, it is decorated for Valentines
day, and just have a few things to finish
in the dining room and I will be done!
Halleleujah!!
#10
Thankful for a quote I heard that I think
is so funny, but I also think is true.
Laurie Crouch said it is what her hubby,
Matt says about her magnifying mirror....
"He calls it the accuser of the brethren".
Think about it....isn't that so true, we
look in it and think oh my heavens, and
forget that is not what we really look
like or what others see. A big lie....Exactly
what the accuser of the brethren
(the enemy) tell us, so many times about
ourselves or situations.
Great description!
Thankful for a sweet and gregarious
young man, probably in his mid twenties,
I would say, who started a conversation
with us when we were in line at Wally
World. He was just such a wonderful
breathe of fresh air. We loved it!
A very nice human being.........
#12
Thankful to run a few errands we needed
to do, and for dinner out at Longhorn
Steak house. Mostly dinner was great but
for some reason some things are just tasting
very salty to me at times, but fortunately
didn't ruin my dinner tho.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that's it for Cozy Place this
week. This is the Winter Decorating
Edition. lol I will probably show
you some pics next week.
Thanks for dropping in.....
and
Have a lovely rest of the week.
Love, Hugs and last of
January Blessings,

Thankful Thursday January 20, 2022, Valentine's decorating from the past
For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.
Psalm 52:9 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope this finds you doing well. We are still
on the mend over here, we are on day 11 and
this stuff seems to really like us, and doesn't
seem to be budging, altho we are not feeling
horrible, we are not feeling great either, but
we do have some good moments.
Pictures today are from Winter/Valentine's decorating
from the past! I needed the inspiration!!,, lol
So on with my Thankfuls....
#1
Thankful that even tho it took us all day, cause we are still recooping and have to rest in between doing things, because we wear out fast... We managed to open all the windows to air out the house, wash and replace all our bedding, wash our throws as they are germy too, change our A/C filter and spray the house with lysol, and sit outside for a lil bit............and hubby was able to take down the outdoor Christmas lights. We just were bummed we didn't get to watch lil darling cause we didn't want her to catch what we have......we think it was just the flu. So hopefully we were able to chase away all the germs and maybe we can see her and our Son on Sunday.
Note: Unfortunately not, cause we were sitll not feeling great and didn't want them to catch it. Also even with all that degerming it didn't seem to help us at all.
#2
Thankful for our Sweet neighbors who knew we were sick so she made us a huge pot of veggie soup and it is always so delicious, and I was thinking about trying to make some but didn't have the ingredients and didn't have the energy anyway, She called this afternoon and told me she was making it and that her hubby would bring it over when he got home, and her soup is way better anyway.........So what a blessing!
#3
Thankful that we got to talk on the phone with our Son and lil darling since we couldn't see them. It actually made us both feel better............
#4
Thankful for a nice long phone chat with our Daughter as well. That cheered me up too, hubby was taking a nap, so he missed out. lol
#5
Thankful for a comfy bed, and lots of sleep.
#6
Thankful for take out from Tijuana flats on Tuesday night.
I got their Chicken Bowl and I can't even tell you how good
it was.........maybe cause I was so hungry or just cause my
appetite was coming back, but it was pure heaven.....
not kidding!!
#7
Thankful to have gotten 100% of our Christmas
decor down and 75% of it packed away, before
we were just too tired to do anymore! lol
It will be waiting for us tomorrow (Wed.)
Note: It is now all happily tucked away
until next Year! Yea!!!
#8
Thankful for instacart, we have pressed it into
service twice this month. Such a blessing when
you are feeling bad and also don't want to
give your sickness to anyone else.
#9
Thankful for the inner direction of the spirit of God.
There is a Detective show we have watched a few times and
it seems like a clean nice show and even has a dog that is so
cute, but I woke up during the night thinking about stuff
that happened on there, nothing graphic, just creepy
thoughts about a murder and how it was done and stuff,
that left me feeling unsettled, so decided it was an open
door to get to my peace, so a door best left shut.
#10
Thankful to hear from another long time friend who is
a dear heart. and sent me some pics of she and her
family on facebook. She even has 2 great grandchildren.
So lovely to see your family all grown up, and always
sweet to hear from old and dear friends.
Thanks Barbara,
#11 and 12
Thankful that I didn't have to go to the emergency room
last night, as I was in process of making waldorf salad
and chopping apples with a new knife I bought a few
weeks back, and had just commented to hubby how
quick and easy it was chopping the apples with the
new sharp knife and started in on the celery but when
I went to wash the celery I had the celery in one
hand and the knife in the other and don't really know
how I did it, but I cut about an inch long but deep
gash at the bottom of my thumb which was bleeding
a lot, but we finally got it stopped, so very thankful
for that, and the fact, I cut it on my thumb and not
on the fleshy part between my thumb and forefinger
as that probably would have needed stitches as it
would be a much harder area to heal.
Well, That's it for cozy place this week,
this is the Sickie edition.......lol
Thanks for coming by,
Have a Wonderful rest of the week.
Love, Hugs, and Healthy Blessings,
Nellie

Hello Sweet Friends,
Hope this finds you well and enjoying the New Year!
Can't say that is true for us yet!! lol We are still trying
to get over whatever this is.......still very tired and now
I have developed a loose cough, and hubbies dry cough
has turned into a loose cough a few days ago and
he is coughing way less now, so hoping since I am 2
days behind him on when mine started, we are hoping
this means we are on the way out of this virus soon..........lol
Trying to get the rest of our Christmas decorations down
today, I was gonna leave part of them up cause we were
supposed to leave for my Daughters in SC yesterday,
for a week, but the Lord was not willing!! lol
but we know that Father knows best, and we also were
encouraged to know that our Daughter is going to come
in February to see one of her best friends for her
birthday and of course, plans to spend a few days
with us as well, so that made us feel a lot better, and
we can hopefully plan another trip in the next few months.
Well, Here is the 2nd half of the yearly

He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see
and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.

Greetings Sweet Friends
Welcome to Thankful Thursday,
I am gonna be short in my opening today
as you will see why on # 10..........
Pics to are of Winter Decor from the past.
Sorry some of these are so blurry but had
a dickens of a time pulling them out
of my google pic storage, and just
didn't have the energy to find others.
#1
Thankful for dinner out with hubby
to Outback Steak house, we were fianlly
able to get in this week, no wait.
Dinner was lovely.....
#2
Thankful hubby found a Ree Drummond
Cookbook at Sams. In case you don't know
who she is....She is " Pioneer Woman" and
I used to love watching her show, but
guess they took it off the air, but she
was a judge on the Christmas cookie
Challenge show we watched, and she is
a very kind lady which made us want
to buy her book, lots of family photos
were included, so can't wait to spend
some time looking at it. We did look
at the first chapter on breakfast, and
it was good, made us decide to make
some sweet potato pancakes, my recipe,
but inspiring none the less. We loved
all the pics she has of her family
throughout the book, charming!
#3
Thankful for a really lovely day with
lil darling. Got to hear about her
version of the camping trip, and also
about a field trip this week to Legoland.
Also, we had her fav breakfast, played
Sorry and a new game hubby found
at Marshalls called Tree-opoly. It is like
Monopoly in some ways, but she was
bored with it ( and was trying to put my
hair up with clips) in less than 20 mins.
and honestly so was I....lol She painted
some sun catchers for her parents so
we are gonna put them up as a gift
for Valentines Day, then we watched
a couple of holiday dessert challenges,
took some wagon rides, while singing
Christmas songs, and then played
restaurant. We are the customers
and she is gonna make one great
server when she grows up. lol
Every time we play that she adds
some new thing she learned. This
week it was "I will text you when
your table is ready".. lol She is
such a hoot, and it was so great
to see her as it had been almost
two weeks.
#4
Thankful that I finally got the bug to start
taking my Christmas Decorations down.
I am not taking it all down just the stuff
that looks really Cristmasy, am leaving
anything that might look like Winter.
#5
Thankful that my hubby now makes us
breakfast a few times a week. Love it.
He makes scrambled eggs and bacon
when we have lil darling cause she loves
his scrambled eggs, and he makes break
fast sandwiches for us, on cheesy bagels,
It's all yummy and especially yummy
since I don't have to do it.........lol
#6
Thankful for the "Jesus Calling" devotional
book by Sarah Young. I have read it a
number of times, and it always speaks to
me....so we decided to do it together for
the year!
#7
Thankful for Chicken Salad.....I made
some today and it has been since Summer
since I have made it, and was delish
as always, one of my favorite sandwiches.
I put it on toasted Ciabatti bread. Um Um!
Want to see the recipe Click Here

Thankful I am feeling much better the
last few days. On Sunday hubby and I
both started to feel like we were getting
colds again. He is still feeling about
the same but not coughing as much, so
far today.
#9 and 10
Thankful that I am feeling way better
than the last few days since I wrote
#8, I started running a fever on Tues.
and Wed. and had a bad headache and
body aches, but my fever finally broke
during the night, so am feeling way better
today, just still weak and tired but that
is way better than with the fever and all
that goes with it, So much for thinking
I had escaped it. On the Plus side
I lost 2 pds...........lol Hubby has lost
about 6pds, just hasn't had a lot of
appetite since he was sick, but he has
been feeling better since about Tuesday.
Thankful that we weren't both sick at
the same time so we could take care
of each other.........
#11
Thankful for My Daughter, Neighbor
and young lady from church who
offered to help us if we needed any
thing. My Daughter text us and said
Mom if you need anything from Publix
cough drops, cough syrup or soup
or anything I will send it to you. She
lives in SC and has insta-cart and we
do too, but thought her offer was so
sweet and thoughtful. She's a gem!
#12
Thankful for all those who are praying
for us, and some who are checking on us
daily thru texting to see how we are
coming along. That means so much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that's it for Cozy Place today.....
Have a Wonderful rest of the week.
Love, Hugs and
Healthy Blessings to You!!
