Thankful Thursday July 20, 2023, and Coastal touches for Summer part 2

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

Psalm 111:10 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

And 

 Happy Thursday to You!!

Hope you are having a good week.

Have been meaning to apologize for how wonky some of my writing is on these

posts,  There is something wrong with the editor and no matter what I do can't

seem to get it straighten out.  Annoying, to say the least! Just wanted you to know I

know, and I am trying!!  lol

Pictures today are again from our coastal touches in the Living room. This time I will

show you some up close shots of the Etagere'

area, you see in the header picture.

On with my Thankfuls.............

#1

Thankful for our Son's help.  We needed

to move some furniture around, so he

was happy to come and help us.  When

I was younger we had older neighbors

and I used to wonder why they never

moved their furniture around, I totally

get that now, and they did not have

children to help. When you are younger

you can't imagine not being able to do

that. Hubby can, but I can't help him

anymore cause I have a pinched nerve

I could set off, and it is quite painful

if I do.....so not wanting to go down

that path again.  lol

#2

Thankful to hear that "The sound of Freedom"

movie is doing amazingly well and continues

to do well at the box office.  The American people are hearing the truth.

#3

Hubby was finally able to get our lawn

mowed,  as it has been raining so much

lately.

#4

Thankful for more responses and outreach

to our Card shop video reels. We are getting

a kick out of picking the music for them.

#5

Thankful that our friend that we go to

lunch with every Sunday, is doing okay.

She gave us all a scare at the end of the

worship service, she got very sick and

 they had to call the paramedics to take

 her to the hospital, They are keeping her

 in ICU overnight to watch her closely.

She got out of the hospital on Wed and

is back to her old self.  PTL

#6

Thankful that our new friends are back

in town and that we got to go to lunch

with them. Had a great time, we just

really seem to click and have a lot 

in common. Look forward to getting

together again.

#7

Thankful for a great phone conversation

with a long time, dear and best friend, 

that moved away years and years ago.

#8

Thankful for snack size "BabyRuth"candy

bars.  I haven't had one in many many

years, and they were on sale at the grocery

store so grabbed a bag.  Wow, they were

even better than I remembered!  l

#9

Thankful for Cuban food. I have made

it for years, but it has been awhile

since I've made it, and it always hits

the spot.  So delicious.

I made Picadillo, Black Beans and

Yellow rice. I just buy the yellow

rice by Mahatma. Below I included

some links in case anyone would like

to try it. The one link has the black

 bean recipe along with another meat 

dish called Ropa Veija,(also delish)

but the 2nd one is for the Picadillo.

#10

Thankful for Air Conditioner filters,

because without them I would be feeling

bad all the time. When I start feeling

bad or stuffy, or get sinus problems or 

earaches, it is usually time to change

our filter, and when we do it all goes

away..........PTL  Unfortunately, our

air filters don't make it to 3 months

or I would be pretty sick.

#11

Thankful they finally came and picked

up the furniture we removed last Thursday

and put on the curb to be picked up.

Took almost a week.

 So happy to see it gone..

#12

Thankful for a good but quiet day with

lil darling.  She was so tired today.

Has been having too much fun lately

evidently.  lol  3 sleepovers in a row,

and a visit to the water park on Wed.

Slept for 3 hrs. today, but was like a

different kid when she woke up. No

one does too well when they are way

over tired, or at least I don't!!  lol

  Once she got up she got

to see a couple of lil girls from the

neighborhood, the one that was with

her regular lil buddy, last week, and

she brought another new friend.

They only had an hour but they all

enjoyed it,  and then we had some

time to play a game afterwards.

That's it......for Cozy Place

this week.

Hope you enjoyed your visit

and come again soon!

Love, Hugs, and 

Mid July Blessings,

Nellie
