Thankful Thursday January 18, 2024, and things that remind me of Winter

  

 It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,

Psalm 92:1-2 NIV

 

                      Good Morning Sweet Friends,

 

I am early today!!  Imagine that!!

Been a good week here, with cool temps.

but very unlike what is going on with

most of you probably.  Hope where ever

 you live you are keeping warm and cozy.

Also, I apologize for the wonkiness of the

letters (some small, some too large) through

out this post, have tried to fix it, but it has

a mind of it's own, it seems and just

want let me fix it!  lol

     Pictures today are of things that remind me of             Winter.  Bet you enjoy some of these as              well....Pictures compliments of Unsplash.

The First one is fires in the Fireplace. lol 

Remember we live in Florida.  lol

Hot Tea, and Hot Cocoa for sure!!

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

#1

Thankful for a fun night out, our mission was to find where my dentist office is now,  as they have moved to a brand new office since I was there last.  It was much easier to find than we had anticipated, which was great!  Then we went looking around at Home Goods and then ran to the grocery store and got a few things we needed.  Doesn't sound super exciting but it gets us out of the house, and we got a fun dessert............Brownie bites........with vanilla ice cream and a lil whip cream and nuts atop.

A heavenly dessert, as far a I am concerned!

#2

Thankful that one of my friends daughters, just had a lil girl (a 9 and a half pound girl)and Mom and Baby are doing well, and my friend, overjoyed....this is her 9th grandchild,  3 boys, 6 girls.  She had 4 girls herself. 

Some bare trees without the snow

#3

Thankful for the life of an elderly couple (that is more elderly than us by 20 years or more)that have been members of our church for years. They are both up in their nineties and looks like they may be going home to be with their Lord soon. They are both in the hospital, she was first, then he wound up having to go too, so they moved them in the same room, with their beds side by side, and their daughter put a picture on facebook of them sleeping and they were holding hands through the bed railings. They are in hospice care now.

But thankful for the testimony of their lives and the demonstration of what true love really is!!

#4

Thankful I finally felt like starting to take down my real Christmasy looking decoration today, but will leave those that look wintery! 

Note: Still working on it, but hoping to finish today.

                     Colds and Flu Season

#5

Thankful for frozen beef ravioli,

it made a nice dinner, and I have not

been able to find it in the grocery

store for years, as they are always

out. So just happened on it the last

time we were in our store. Have

to say we quite enjoyed it!! and

best of all it made for a quick

and easy din din.

Note: We had enough leftover for

another dinner so I just put it in

a casserole dish with sauce on top 

then added mozzarella and grated

parmesan on top, and put it in the

oven for about 30 mins. and it was

even better the 2nd time around.

#6

Thankful for a good day at church.

Great message by our still, Sr. Pastor.

and always great seeing church family

and friends

                  cute lil snowman decorations

#7

Thankful for a fun and delicious late 

Christmas gift from our friends/lunch

 buddies. An adorable snowman and 

some nuts and candy.........

All our favorites too! They have been

trying to give it to us for weeks, either

we weren't there are they weren't lol

Sometimes being late is an even 

better blessing!!  lol

Here he is....isn't he so cute, we named

him smiley and here he is hanging

out with Moosie Loosie, my hubbies

idea, so we call them the Odd Couple!

and yes, my tree is still up!!  lol

Note: decided to just remove all the

ornaments and leave it up for a while 

still...........

#8

Thankful that renovations at our Daughter

and Son-in-loves beach house are proceeding

along well.  What's been done already is

looking great!!  

Soups, stews and chili

#9

Thankful that I had my appt. with my previous

dentist today, it was like going home to visit

family and friends. Just love everybody in that 

office, they are the most loving and servant

hearted folks, most of them have been there

for years. Was so sorry to find out that one

 of the girls I know pretty well is battling 

cancer, and things are not going too well, 

 but Thankful that we can now pray for her

 and her family.  She is a lovely young lady,

 just breaks my heart she is having to go

 through all this...............

#10

Thankful that they will be able to start on my

 crown next Thursday. Was hoping to get in 

quickly but this was beyond my expectations.

Now praying I don't need a root canal on top 

of having to get the crown done, as our Ins.

 isn't gonna pay any of it, because we changed

 Ins. plans in Sept of last year and no one

 told us there was a waiting period for certain

 procedures. Thankful that the Lord has

already provided for us to do that!

       Warm cozy beds, throws and flannel jamies

     I practically live in my flannel jamies when it is                                cold weather.

#11

Thankful that after the dentist office we

did some shopping and I was able to get

a birthday gift, a baby gift and a few

pair of pants that I hope will fit lil

darling, and a few things for her for

Valentine's day as well.  So we are a

bit ahead of the game, for a change,

which is nice!!

We went to lunch as well, so we

will have a light din din tonight.

It was such a fun day because we don't

usually go out that early in the day

because I can't take the heat

#12

Thankful for a very kind and encouraging

comment from an instagram user yesterday

about our cards and Card Shop.

  

  Hearing about Snow......and

remembering the few times we actually

got to encounter it, and how much 

fun it was because it was so easy

for us.  No shoveling or difficulties.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, That's it for Cozy Place

this week.............

Thanks for coming by 

and

Hope you have a

 delightful weekend ahead,

Love, Hugs, and

Mid January Blessings,

Nellie
