Thankful Thursday Sept. 1st and 8th, 2022, and Fall Flowers

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,

 since as members of one body you were 

called to peace. And be thankful.

Colossians 3:15 NIV

Welcome to September

Sweet Friends,

Yea, I know I am really late......on the beginning

of September and on Thankful Thursday, but we

were away enjoying our Daughter, her hubby,

and Grandson DOG, in Charleston.  Just got

home on Monday evening, so have just decided

to combine last weeks Thankful Thursday and

this weeks since I would be posting it so late.

Hope this finds you all well and looking forward

to the official date of Fall.  Once we get unpacked

I will  get started in on my Fall Decorating.  

Am looking really looking forward to it.

Pictures today are of Fall flowers, compliments

of Unsplash.  Since we are in September I am

finally in the mood.  I know many of you have

been decorating for Fall for a while now.  It is

still in the 90's,  so no feel of  Fall here, so will

 have to create some inside the house at least!  lol

#1

Thankful for a sweet guesture from our neighbor who is

home recovering from knee replacement surgery and is

doing quite well I might add.  Our yard refuse people

usually come before we get up.....but today they didn't.

Hubby needed to mow early as we are suppose to have

rain later but was reluctant to start cause of all the

yard trash we had on part of our lawn,  but he decided

to just do the biggest portion of it and then stop is he

needed to.......so he began mowing and our neighbor

took an empty can he had and put some of our stuff

in it and took a trash bag and the can from our

yard and put it on his swale,  so hubby could mow our

whole yard...........how thoughtful was that!!

#2

Thankful for a good day with lil darling who is now in

the 4th grade.  We had a good day having her fav

breakfast and doing her schooling, and having lunch

and taking a break to rest  while watching the

Christmas Cookie Challenge (she loves that) and

then finishing up her last subject of the day  and

we were now free to play "Clucky's To Go" .  A

pretend take out restaurant.  Her Dad came early

to get her, and we had just set up Clucky's so we

all played and placed food orders for awhile and

then it was time for them to go home.  

Productive and fun day!

#3

Thankful that we are pretty much packed and

ready to be off to our Daughter and Son-in-loves

in South Carolina on Saturday.  So looking forward

to it,  as we have not seen them since the end of May,

and it will be nice to have a change of scenery and

schedule for a short while.

#4

Thankful for a safe and uneventful trip to SC,

no bad traffic and no detours this time.

                                                     

#5

Thankful for the great time we are having with

the kids. We just so enjoy each others company,

and have great conversations.   Love that!!

#6

Thankful for a fun day out shopping and to dinner 

to celebrate Dee's belated birthday.  Her hubby got

her a "nothing bundt cake"  in lemon /Raspberry

for dessert.  It was delectable.  Never had one

before or even heard of it.  Something new!!

#7 

Thankful that my friends daughter brought her

sweet baby girl into the world with no labor

or delivery problems, but the baby has Down's

Syndrome, has a hearing problem in one ear,

and even tho her heart has healed a great deal

before her birth (so she didn't need surgery right

after birth),  Drs. say she will still need surgery

 in 3-6 months.  Please if you feel so led please

pray with us that she will never need the 

surgery and that God would touch her ear.

#8

Thankful for this sweet young couple who were told that

this was the possibility for their baby she was carrying,

but chose to do what they knew in their heart was right.

They are to be applauded,  as they could have taken

 what most would have thought, as the easy way out.

Both Mom and Dad have a great attitude.

Also, thankful her Mom was able to go help out

for  a week as they also have another lil girl

who is almost 2 yrs. old.

#9

Thankful for a fun day in the pool, no rain,  

dinner at  (Dee and Jerrys) home and

 a good game of Yahtze.

#10

Thankful our daughter made us her lovely

cream cheese coffee cake with strawberries,

we lovvvvvvvvvve it.  We have thought of

making it ourselves but then we would not

look so forward to it when we come see 

her!!  lol   She makes a great quiche as well.

#11

Thankful for a number of fun filled relaxing

days in the pool with lovely weather.  We

did have some rainy days,  but most did not

last long thankfully,  but were just cloudy,

so we didn't get sun burned.....  lol

#12

Thankful Dee and I got to have some bonding time

 playing cards, and doing some facials while the guys 

got to bond over football and  battle bots.

#13

Thankful for all the good food and good restaurants

we enjoyed while there.

#14

Thankful for a nice long golf cart ride, just she 

and I......we always enjoy that.  Can't believe all 

the houses they are building or renovating in 

her area.  All Beautiful.....

It is such a charming neighborhood,  

so many different styles of homes.

#15

Thankful for brownie sundae's we made twice,

It's another one of our fav things to do when 

we are together.

#16

Thankful for the change of scenery and the

break from social media,  it was good for us.

#17

Thankful  for a trip to the Vintage market,

one of the places we always like to go too.

Very cool place,  but we didn't see anything

calling our name this time, but we had

fun looking.........

#18

Thankful for a trip to Hobby Lobby and where

we did find some 50% off Christmas finds that

we were happy about.  lol

#19

Thankful for my first time ever eating 

"Cauliflower crust pizza" and it was really

delicious I might add.  

#20

Thankful for an uneventful, almost rain free, and

seemingly quick trip home (I was reading a book to 

hubby part of the time, as he drove, so made the time

go fast), We were also concerned that the traffic 

might be bad since it was labor Day. Traffic and

weather was great too.

#21

Thankful to be back in my own bed, not that I

had any trouble sleeping or anything cause I

didn't but just always good to be home, even

tho their house is like a 2nd home to us.

#22

Thankful my friends new granddaughter is

eating and doing well,  they were having some

difficulties there for a few days,  also they had

a trip to the emergency room because the

babies was jaundiced and her billy rubin

count was high,  so they had to keep her over

night to put her under those lights for that,

but she has been fine every since.

                                          

#23

Thankful we were not on the part of I-95

that had the  flooding or we would have been

stuck for who know how long.

#24

Thankful to be all unpacked and settled in again!

and looking forward to seeing lil darling.

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

and last week.

Thankful you could stop by ......

So what are you Thankful for??

Would love for you to share with us.

Love, Hugs and

 Welcome to September Blessings,

Nellie
