Thankful Thursday April 24, 2025, Our Easter Table 2025

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  

  1 Peter 1:3

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a lovely Easter

with family and or friends/loved ones. 

We sure did....

I am thankful I am feeling better

this morning, cause we worked out

side yesterday and last night my

back was really smarting up in my

middle back, which has never happened

before, and it hurt just to breathe, but

it is almost normal this morning.

Thank the Lord.  Have to say it is

really a beautiful day out too.

So hope it is like that where you

live as well.

Pictures today are of our Easter

Table this year, 2025.  Have to

say I am infatuated with this table

cloth I found on accident. I actually

bought it and others cause they were

a great deal and I thought I might

be able to use them for curtains, but

 much to my dismay and time pressure 

I wasn't sure they would work and 

we were soon leaving for my daughters

and didn't want to get stuck with

them as they weren't all the same size,

 so decided to take them back, and I

was bummed, but hubby said why 

don't you just keep one and use it

 for the table, which was a great idea.

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

#1

Thankful for a fun night out, and being able

to get the last of the things we need for Easter

dinner and a few things for lil darling, that

we had completely forgotten about with all

the other preparations and happenings. 

Thankful we remembered before

 it was too late. 

#2

Thankful for another good school day.

It was great to see lil darling as it 

has been a couple of weeks, cause she

was off for a week having fun.

#3

Thankful all the food is prepared and

ready to stick in the oven tomorrow.

#4

Thankful lil darlings Easter Bag is

done, and I did a bowl of Easter

candy for the rest of us.

#5

Thankful I just finished steaming the

tablecloth I haven't used before, but

is so beautiful, so excited about how

the table will look.

#6

Thankful table is all set and ready, and

 I can rest now, as I am whipped.  lol

  But a good whipped.

#7

Thankful for a lovely Easter Service

and lovely and fun day with our family.

Good food, Good fellowship and fun times.

Unfortunately, Dee and Jerry couldn't be

 here, but we did text and talk with them. 

They had a good day at home as well.

#8

Thankful that I got to meet our new

neighbors, hubby had already met them

when he was out mowing.  They are

a lovely young couple that moved up

from South Florida, and they are 

originally from Ecuador.  Had a very

enjoyable time talking with them, and

think we might get together soon.

#9

Thankful that we have nothing that

we had to do today (Monday)

as I am still tired from this last

 week of activity.  So I am only 

doing what is needed today.  lol

#10

Thankful that I saw in Southern living

 magazine that they have a new variety of

 hydrangeas that are "sun loving".  They

 are called "White Wedding hydrangeas". 

 I love any type of hydrangeas but have 

had no luck growing them because they 

all like morning sun, and never had

 a good spot to put them, so unfortunately,

 they all died. So think we are gonna

 try some of these, if we can locate them.

#11

Thankful we got out and worked in

the yard some trying to clean up some

in the area's where they took the trees

down, cause some stuff got squashed

unfortunately.  Looking better already,

more to go tho......lol

Worked outside again this morning

trimming bushes and accomplished 

quite a bit more than we expected

 just in another area of the front yard.

Will get back to the other area next

week hopefully.

#12

Thankful that one of our friends

Grandson who is not yet, two yrs.

old came thru an endoscopy and

partial colonoscopy well, and they

saw no problems, but did biopsy

something they don't think will be

 anything, but had to do the biopsy. 

 So if you feel so led, please

 pray that comes back negative.

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

Well,  that's it for Cozy Place 

this week.  This is the Easter Edition.

Thanks for your visit,  always

 happy to know you came by.

Have a wonderful rest of April...

Can hardly believe in less than a week

we will be into May..........Wow.

Love, Hugs, and

End of April Blessings,

Nellie

Happy Easter

Thankful Thursday April 17, 2025, and Spring/Easter decorating Part 2

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”           Revelation 4:11 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are doing well, and I would

imagine you are making preparations

to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord

on Sunday. That's some of what our

week has entailed, and I have been busy

making some new Easter cards as well.

Pictures today are of  Spring /Easter

 decorations at Cozy Place, part 2, 

  the dining room/ hallway area. 

Now on with my Thankfuls. . . 

#1

Thankful that hubby got rid of all the ferns, that snake, I was telling you about last week, was hiding in, before he slid in our garage door.  So now he can run slide but not hide, at least there anyway!!  lol

I was a bit uneasy about going out that   door............so feeling much better about it now.  

#2

Thankful for a fun night out going to

Marshalls, Home Sense and out to dinner

at our fav Mexican restaurant.

Sorry for the glare...

#3

Thankful that I found a basket just the

right size to put my cutting boards in,

and we cleaned the cabinet out and got

rid of some stuff, and now it is all neat

and tidy and no more sliding cutting 

boards.  Amazing how long we put up

with stuff until we make a conscience

effort to find a solution. Now this

aggravating problem solved.

Doing the happy dance!!  lol

#4

Thankful hubby found a new treat

this morning.  He went to get a caramel

frappe and found out McDonalds has

a new strawberry and cream cheese pie

(the size of their apple pies) so he got us

each one, and they were yummy.

Reminded me of the old Toaster strudel's

I used to get when my kids were younger.

All the pics with pink were of the dining area,

all the rest with the orange and yellow are 

of the living room

#5

Thankful our Easter dinner and table

 is all planned now, and part of the food

 shopping done.  Just will need those 

last minute things.

#6

Thankful for new B-complex Vitamins

I got.  They are liquid and Bio available,

and definitely think they are working

better than the tablet ones I was using.

Feeling more energetic, feel like I am 

losing less hair and I can see a change

in my nails. 

#7

Thankful that we have been seeing our

lil brown bunny every day for a week

 or so, but soon he or she will probably

disappear again for months. We are

always delighted when it returns tho.

#8

Thankful for a visit from 2 Sandhill

cranes this morning, having breakfast

in our yard.  lol  

#9

Thankful for the lovely Palm Sunday

musical presentation by the youth choir

 this morning, and the sermon was done

by our retired Pastor today.  Great

to see him and his wife. 

#10

Thankful for the lovely Memorial Service

 we attended this afternoon for the sweetest spirited lady. Her passing was very 

surprising to everyone.  We had just seen

 her on Sunday March 16th,and were 

at our daughters and saw on facebook

 that following Wed. that she had passed 

away on Monday St. Patricks Day.

It was really a sweet service, and is

always a reminder of the hope of heaven

that those who know Jesus have.

#11

Thankful that I was feeling inspired

and made 5 new Easter cards.  

#12

Thankful that we had 3 large trees

removed today.  Just called yesterday

so didn't expect it so soon, but that

was great.  Needed to have them

removed, cause hopefully soon we

are gonna be able to do a new 

drive way, which is very needed.

So happy we are finally progressing.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that's all for this at Cozy Place

Thanks for spending some time with

us today.

Have a lovely lovely Easter

 Weekend Celebration.

Love, Hugs and

End Of April Blessings,

Thankful Thursday April 10, 2025, and Family room qussied up for Spring/Easter

See! The winter is past,  the rains are over and gone.

Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.

Song of Soloman 2:11-12 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

OOPS...Just posted this and realized 

I forgot to do my opening greeting!! 

So in case you were wondering what  

happened to that post,,,,

So had to pull her back in.....lol

So how are you today??

I hope you have been having a truly

blessed week.  Ours has been good,

doing some work in our shop this

week, since Easter is coming up soon,

 and also starting to think about what to 

make for Easter din din and what to do

 for our Easter table. Had thought about

doing a Ham, but have changed my 

mind and am going to do my Party

Chicken recipe, which is always a hit.

Click here, if you would like to see 

the recipe. ( Just scroll down a lil one

you get there.)

Have some ideas about the table too.

Just have to try them out!!

 

Pictures today are of our Family Room 

all gussied up for Spring and Easter.

Be prepared for Bunny Heaven.......

I love bunnies and Easter eggs, but

I definitely also know that Easter

is all about Jesus.

So on with my Thankfuls....

#1

Thankful for a great deal hubby got

on a new coffee pot.  It would have

been $40 at Amazon and he got it

for $20. at Wally World and it was

delivered the next day, which was

really nice since ours was broken.

Who doesn't love a great deal.

#2

Thankful that I finished all my Spring

Easter decorating and pack everything

away, and it is such a refreshing change.

#3

Thankful for a good day with lil darling,

Not a lot of work as she will be on Spring

break next week.  She had time to make

an Easter card for our shop. 

 She did a great job!!

#4

Thankful we found a new season of a

fairly new series we weren't sure if it

was going to continue or not.  So we

found Season 2 of "When hope calls"

and it's on "Pureflix".  If you have ever

watched "When calls the Heart" then

you will love it.  Hoping another season

of that comes out too.

#5

Thankful for a really great evening

with our Son and lil darling celebrating

my birthday a lil late,  dinner, talking

and playing games, my favorite kind

of day. Guess my birthday is officially

 over for this year!!  So it went out

with a bang,  My Mom heart is full....

#6

Thankful for peanut butter pie my hubby

got for us from Perkins.  It was delicious,

and enjoyed by all of us.

#7, 8 and 9

Thankful to be able to attend church today,

and also thankful to finally hear who is gonna

be our Pastor now that our other one has

retired.  We were very Thankful for the

news.......turns out it is gonna be both of

our younger Pastors, (when I say younger

I mean they are in their 40's, so that is

young to us.  lol)  The church has decided

to let them Co-Pastor our church, they are

both men who are very committed to our

Lord and are very Good friends, and have

worked well together in other situations.

So hubby and I are beyond thrilled cause

one of them and his wife we have watched

grow up in our church, and the other

one has Pastored in our church for quite

some time, but moved away to Pastor a

church in Tenn. for about 6-7 years,

all the while some of us were praying 

for the Lord to send him and his family

back, which HE did, and his wife also

grew up in our church for a lot of years,

so we also knew her as well.

To say we are excited about the Lords

direction would be an understatement.

Isn't she cute!  

#10

Thankful that we saw and were able to

get a snake out of our garage very quickly.

We opened our side door to take out 

some trash and I was standing outside

and hubby thankfully inside, and the

door was still open, and I saw the 

snake go right in the edge of the door

and screamed, of course, (I take that

scripture in the bible about the woman

having enmity with the serpent very

seriously. lol) Anyway, hubby was able

to get the broom and run him right

back out........my Hero!!  

#11 and 12

Thankful for Post "Great Grains" cereal.

We enjoy the Cranberry and the blueberry

cereal the most, and I am

Thankful for Better Homes and Gardens

magazine and this months cover especially.

I woke up hungry at 6 a.m., and knew

I wasn't gonna get back to sleep unless

I ate something, so I got up and had

a bowl of great grains, an when this

happens which is not very often, I like

to look at a magazine while I am eating

cereal, which is typically Better Homes

and Gardens which I really enjoy and

this months cover is just so stunning

it makes my heart happy every time

I see it.  See  pic below. Those flowers

are from Crabapple trees.  Gorgeous!

This pic really doesn't do it justice

cause of the shadows and shinyness,

but I tried............lol

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

That's it for this week at Cozy Place.

Have a lovely day 

and

Thanks for spending some time 

here today.

Love, Hugs, and

Early April Blessings,

Nellie
