Thankful Thursday August 10, 2023, and Pictures of tropical plants

 

Praise be to his glorious name forever;

 may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

Psalm 72:19 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends, 

Glad you could come by and hope you have

had a good week.  Ours has been good and

quiet, which is fine with us, as we are recuping

from last week.  Little darling started back

to School today, so we are looking forward

to hearing all about it tomorrow when she

comes and we start schooling again.

So on with my Thankfuls..............

#1

Thankful that lil darling go to see her Aunt Deena for the 2 days she was here visiting.  She absolutely adores our Daughter and the feeling is mutual. Of course........Everybody adores my Daughter as well, and it is so hard for her when she comes to visit cause she would love to see so many people, but you can only do so much in a few days.  

#2

Thankful that we all got to take her out shopping and to dinner kind of as an early birthday gift, since we won't get to be with her on her special day.  It really was a fun and heartwarming day for all of us, since we rarely get to do this.

#3

Thankful always, just to get to spend any time with her at all.........such a treat!  When she is in town for such a short time, we just do a simple breakfast and go out or get take out for dinner, as we don't waste precious time in the kitchen. Gotta make the best of the time we have,  and so thankful we can do that!

#4

Thankful that she made it back home to SC safe and sound.  Always a relief to hear.  

#5

Thankful we finally found something for our master bath that I have been looking for a long time, I mean years and years. It is a corner shelf stand to store our towels on. and it is just perfect, and was definitely worth the wait. .Sounds wierd but it is a very small area and most things are just too big even if it is just a teeny bit and it is flanked by 2 closet doors.  I had been storing them in a basket, which worked fine, but this just looks and works so much better.

#6

Thankful that our friend who broke her knee cap was finally up to seeing visitors on Sunday, so we were able to visit with her for a bit. She is doing quite a bit better, they finally got her pain meds straightened out, and she is Icing her knee, which is helping a lot.  She is in a rehab center and has done theraphy about 4 times now, and has actually been walking a little bit with a walker.  She still has a long way to go, but the therapist have said she is probably 3 weeks ahead on her recovery of most people who have this problem  Praising the Lord for the answers to prayer and for  so many who are praying for her. 

 

#7

Thankful we got to go out to lunch with her hubby, as it was good to be able to find out more information about their situation and good to spend time with him as I am sure he could probably use the fellowship as well.

#8

Thankful I found a new way to wash lettuce, cause with all the bacteria and stuff we have been hearing about getting on it, I decided to do a lil research to see what could help, just in case, cause I am hypersensitive to bacteria, 

It's really not all that different......you rinse it in cool water, then cut or tear the lettuce some and put it in a salad spinner full of cold water and spin it slowly, then dump out the water and spin it like normal.  I used to rinse it in a colander in hot water then cold water, but on the Martha Stewart website they said cold water. Soap is not necessary.  Also I read somewhere that using hot water opens the pores of the veggie which lets in the bad stuff.  Interesting!!

#9

Thankful our Son made it home safe and sound

                        back from a trip for his job.

#10

Thankful that I have been working on "Get Well" cards.  That's usually how I make a lot of my cards because I want to give them to someone I know and love.  So since my friend is in rehab for her knee, seems like a good time.

 

 

#11

Thankful our Crepe Myrtle is finally blooming, I was afraid we might have killed it because some months back, before we started getting all the Summer rains, we forgot to water it, and it looked pretty bad. So happy to see it alive and well, and thriving once again.  lol

#12

Thankful that we made a list of things we want to accomplish that we have talked and talked about for while now, but finally got it down in writing,  Which means it is more likely to get done.  At our age Lists are very

                                                   Important!!  lol

Well, that's it for Cozy Place

this week!

Thanks for stoppin' in.....

Love, Hugs and 

First of August Blessings,

Nellie
