Thankful Thursday July 13th, 2023, Coastal touches for Summer Part 1

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you        and your children may live.     Deuteronomy 30:19

 

               Morning Sweet Friends,

      How are things in your part of the world??   Hope you are having a great Summer and having   your kiddos home from school, if you are in that         stage of life, or just having a nice laid back, full of     Summer fun time. Our Summer has been good,     and laid back, and fun, but we are not going out too much in the day time cause it is hot as blue blazes       here in Florida, so this girl can' t take this heat!!  But thank goodness there are evenings!!  lol

  Pictures today are from our living room, where we decided to add those coastal touches  I told you about last week. The header picture and the one below are of the foyer.  The rest are in the living room.  Don't know if you noticed we moved our old sofa into the living room, and the small loveseat is  now in our        bedroom, always nice to a have to have a                                  lil  change up. 

 

 

Now on with my Thankfuls........

 

 

                                       #1   

Thankful for good news from the Dr. of a friend.  She had a procedure done that could have shown she had cancer, but PTL she is fine!  Great news.

#2

Thankful for my clothes dryer.  Some years back we bought one of those ones that sits on a stand, and what a life saver that has been for my back...I really love it!  Can you tell I just did laundry!!  lol

#3 

Thankful I decided to add some coastal touches to our living room. I was just gonna leave it alone until Fall but kept seeing everyones coastal looks and got the  bug to do a room too.  Glad I did it, as I am really               enjoying it now.

 

                                  #4

Thankful that lil darlings 5th grade teacher will be a young lady (she's in her late 30's) that we have known since she was 3 yrs. old, when her parents started attending our church, and we have all been friends for years now.  She is such a lovely young lady, who is married now and has 2 lovely daughters of her own.  So we are just thrilled she will be teaching lil darling this coming year.

#5

Thankful that we started watching "The Chosen", and we are about 5 episodes in.....and have to say we are really enjoying it.

#6

Thankful that we finally were able to get rid of a huge spider that we had seen before, but had run away and hidden so we couldn't find him. A few days later Hubby saw him on the wall , and was able to spray him, so he is no more, thank heavens, He was enormous and Creepy!!

#7

Thankful for another young lady that goes to our church, and who is very tech saavy, and contacted me because she knew someone had hacked my Facebook acct., and she reported it to facebook for me.

#8

Thankful that her contacting me lead to a nice phone conversation, as I have not seen her in awhile, and she is a really lovely young lady. So it was nice to catch up on what is going on with she and her family, and I learned a few things from her and about her. 

#9

Thankful hubby is learned to do advertisement reels with music to post on instagram.  He has already done a couple, and still working out some bugs, cause there is so much to learn about it. He also has so much fun doing them even tho they are quite involved.  That's is computer Engineer side!!  lol and we both have fun choosing the music to go along with it.

If you'd like to check it out ...Just Click on the center arrow below and Make sure the sound is turned on.

 #10

Thankful for a quick, easy, and delicious dinner last night.  Shrimp steamed with lemon herb seasoning at the grocery store,  Alexia french fries in the hot air fryer and a quick garden salad with Olive Garden dressing. So Yummy and we were so Hungry so that made it all the more yummy!!  lol

#11

Thankful for lil darlings parents and how theyhave allowed us to be such a part of her life, and we are extremely grateful for that as we know a of some grandparents that are wonderful people but have very sad grandparent stories due to the parents. 

 Very sad for the grandparents and grandchildren.

#12

Thankful for the new movie that has been put out by Angel studios called "The sounds of freedom".  It is about a very dark and ugly subject, but I think a well needed wake up call for all Americans. The movie is a true story about a real life hero.  It is about child sex trafficking, and how it is growing larger than the drug trade, and how it really is something we all need to ask the Lord what can we do to help..... and Thankful there are a number of christian organizations that are fighting for the lives of these children. 

 So we can pray and we can give money to help these  organizations to rescue children, and the Lord might even lay other ideas on our heart that we might never think of..........so good question to ask.

Well, that's all for Cozy Place

this week.

Thanks for coming by......

and 

Wishing you a Wonderful Weekend,

Love, Hugs,

and Mid July Blessings,

Nellie
