Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hoping you all had a Wonderful time

being with or hearing from family/

and or friends on Valentine's Day.

We love Valentine's day around

here........not that we do all that

much, but just another fun day to

celebrate. We will take all of those

we can get!!  lol

Photos today are of more Valentine's eye candy!!

Compliments of Unsplash and lil darlings help

with choosing pictures.

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

#1

Thankful that I was able to find an old recipe I had on my blog via a link with Kraft foods, but was evidently discontinued, so finally foun one that sounded like the one I used before, as it was a bit more simple than a lot of the others.  It was for "Southwestern White Chili", and easier didn't mean less delicious. We really enjoyed it and

it was our first time to have it this Winter.

#2

Thankful for a good day with Lil darling, got all her schoolwork done fairly quickly and we got to work on our story again.....added another chapter

to the "Kingdom of Cookie Dough."  lol

#3

Thankful that hubby just saw this morning

 where our old bank branch was (which they closed a number of years ago) is now becoming a

"MacDonald's"

of all things.  We are delighted that after

over 40 years of living here they are finally starting to put more food places around us,

 a nice restaurant would be our preference,

 but not likely. Anyway, we are excited.....

cause they also just opened a Taco Bell 

not too far away too.  Cause we had to

travel about 40 mins. away to get take

out if we want it.

#4

Thankful for how the Lord encourages us when

 we need it.  It has been one of those days........I woke up feeling a bit hopeless this morning, 

so talked to the Lord about it and he put me 

on to 2 blog posts, that were exactly what I needed to hear and be reminded of..............

Love how HE does that!

#5

Thankful that even tho hubby is still

fighting off his cold, and I am having

some milder symptoms than him, but 

we aren't feeling terrible, just tired.

So think I dodged another sickness

bullet for the most part. Thankful

 that we can one again watch our church  online.........definitely not as good as

 being there, but at least we feel in the

 loop, and we are not giving anyone

 else whatever we have!! 

#6

Thankful that we got to see the Memorial

Service for the couple in their 90's that

passed away within 10 hrs. of each other.

(I have written about the last 2 Thankful

posts).  Since hubby was sick we wound

up not being able to go, but the church

live streamed it, so we got to see it this

week.  What powerful and wonderful

testimonies about them from their 

Granddaughters, It was truly such a

 lovely and honoring service.

#7

Thankful that I did not get hurt.... as I

took a fall, as I tripped on a rug coming

in from the garage. Thankful it was

coming in and not going out or I would

have fallen on concrete, instead I fell

on laminate floors that have some

cushioning.  Just scrapped my knee,

and shook me up for a few minutes,

as I fell and rolled........lol

Just practicing my stunt woman

skills and scaring my hubby!!  lol

#8

Thankful that our new sheets came

and they were a perfect fit and a perfect 

match for the top sheets and pillow cases

 on our bed and they are 100% organic

 cotton and feel so nice and they were 

made in India.

 It was from a company called "Bare", 

and was impressed with their packaging

It was so nice, each sheet was inside a nice brown paper box with no plastic wrap,

 and then each one was put inside of  2 nice shopping bags.

 So that was a nice freebie.

I know, I know, I am fascinated by

 the strangest things...........lol

#9

Thankful for the early surprise of Red Roses from hubby for Valentine's day. They are

just beautiful....

#10

Thankful for a good day with lil darling

got all her school work done and we also

had fun making a pretty box to have her Valentine's put it for their party tomorrow. 

Got some pretty pictures from Unsplash 

to decorate it with, and she was thrilled.

#11

Thankful hubby took our Christmas tree

down today, and put it away for the year,

 and I did a lot of cleaning while he was

doing that!!

Always love a clean house.

#12

Thankful for a simple yet lovely

Valentine's Day with Hubby.  Cards,

Breakfast Sandwiches from Duncan

donut (Donuts were not the greatest)

but the sandwiches were, phone call

with our Daughter, pretty table set

(my only valentines decorating this 

year, lol) while hubby was gone to get

 Olive Garden take out, great dinner

with some sparkling grape juice, a few

 Chocolates and then watched a couple

Romantic comedies.  Works for us.

Well that's it for Cozy Place this week.

This is the Valentine's Edition!!

Glad you came by today,

and Hope you have a lovely

Friday and Weekend.

Love, Hugs and 

Valentine's Day Blessings,

Nellie
