Thankful Thursday June 27, 2025, and pictures of Gorgeous and Beautiful

 

The grass withers and the flowers fall,

but the word of our god endures forever.

                     Isaiah 40:8 NIV

Hello and Happy Thursday

 Sweet Friends,

Hope you are off to a good Summer

season, so far.  I am excited to get

 out of the house later today, even if 

it is just grocery shopping and errands

and you will read why....

Pictures today are of Gorgeous and

Beautiful our new "White Wedding

Hydrangeas",  that we are so tickled

pink white about. lol  Been trying 

to grow hydrangeas for a long time

and had no luck, until these new sun

loving ones came along. They are in

the same family as "Lime Light

hydrangeas".  Have to say that they

are clearly living up to their names.

Really didn't expect so many or so

large a bloom as these this year.

We have had them almost 2 mos.

now, as of June 30th. Have to say

they get very thirsty in that heat

tho.......so they have been a big

priority these last 2 months.

This is Beautiful, an she got off to a rough start because something broke off 3 of her limbs, and she was just a tad smaller than Gorgeous to start.

On with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful that our Daughter and Son-in-love 

made it back to SC safe and sound.

 

#2

Thankful to be feeling good again,

but got a relapse after I listed that,

on Monday, but am thankful to be

 feeling good again today as I post 

this........lol  and the reason I am

so happy to get out of the house.

#3

Thankful for a new cereal we are really

 enjoying, They are Blueberry rice Chexs. 

 A rice cereal with no wheat gluten added...............

#4

Thankful that "Gorgeous and Beautiful" are

at full bloom, and they even have some new

buds coming out,  about 6 so far.  They

are truly living up to their names,  as you

can see from the pictures.

#5

Thankful for a Pastor we watch on Tv who

is from Tennessee, his name is Allen Jackson

and he is with World changers church and

we find him on TBN or Utube. Last night

his message was on the biblical perspective

of why we should support Israel.  It was

very good.

#6

Thankful for better together show, it is 

always such an uplifting show and like

sitting and talking with a bunch of ladies

with love and wisdom.  Delightful.

#7

Thankful hubby is putting in some driplines

for Gorgeous and Beautiful, cause they need

water daily in the afternoon, and it is so

hot here.  We have been doing it everyday

but just getting too hot.....Says 100 degrees

 on our porch, and believe me it feels like it. 

 My body does not like this heat......

#8

Thankful President Trump is at the helm

of our country and that his heart is in

hand of the Lord according to

 Proverb 21:1 NIV

and God directs it like a watercourse

wherever he pleases.

#9

Thankful for Dark chocolate Turtle

candy. They were always milk

chocolate before, and we enjoy

these so much more!

#10

Thankful to get our van serviced

and worked on this week, and 

thankful they did a great job 

as usual.  We have been going 

to the same place for about

 12 yrs., I would say. If your

in the Orlando area,  it is

Auto Nation of Winter Park.

(and I get no incentives or

kickbacks for telling you that)

More new buds

#11

Thankful for my cousin who is in

to family genealogy. I feel like I

always learn some tidbits of info

that I didn't know about my 

Grandparents......this time he

told me that Pres. Truman used

to have breakfast at my Grand

parents and Dads diner when

he visited Key West, Florida.

They must have been thrilled.

#12

Thankful I happened to run into an

 old blog post for Chicken salad (that

 is like the old Chick-fil-a chicken salad

 sandwiches, they used to sell)

Click Here if you'd like the recipe.

That's all for Cozy Place this week folks,

Thankful you could spend some

time with us.

Have a lovely rest of the week,

Love, Hugs,

and last of June Blessings,

Nellie

Happy Summer

 

Love and Blessings,

Scripture Sunday

 

Sweet friend,

If you don't know Jesus yet......

I would strongly encourage you to seek Him now

why He can still be found.  I came to know Jesus when

I was 14 yrs. old and I can honestly say there has not

been one day I have ever regretted that decision.

We should all be concerned about our eternal

destination......cause it is gonna come one day

and none of us know when it will happen, so

we need to be prepared.  If you should have

questions about it, please feel free to email

me at Nelliescozyplace@gmail.com.

Love and Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday June 19th. 2025 and This years Patriotic Father's Day Table

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.     Philippians 4:6-7 NIV

Thursday Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are having a good week,

 and that all your Dads had a great

Father's Day. Our's seemed to....

Looking forward to our Daughter

and family coming in later this week.

Pictures today are from our Father's Day

 table 2025 I usually try to do a theme that

 fits both of them, and was trying to figure

 out a theme I had not done yet, and since I

 saw it was flag day, I thought, great I will do

 a patriotic theme since both our Dads are

 Patriotic and already had everything I

 needed to do it as well.

  Perfect!

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

#1

Thankful that my friend who's Daughter and

 family are moving to California, made it

 there safe and sound. This was not your

 typical get to the airport and jump on a

 plane and go....NO.... My friend and her

 Daughter traveled with a 4 and a half yr.

 old, an almost 2 yr. old and an almost 2

 month old baby. It took 2 cars just to get

 to the airport with all 3 children having

 to be in car seats and with luggage and a

 pack andplay, which all had to go on the

 plane as well, and it was a 5 hr. flight.  Her

 Son-in-love drove 3 days by himself......12 hrs.

 a day, and arrived there on Wednesday, so

 he could have their base housing secured in

 time for their arrival. Many of us have

 prayed for this trip, as there was a lot to

 be concerned about to say the least, but

 the Lord has answered prayer after

 prayer. He truly showed himself to be

 with them every step of the way on

this air flight.

Note:  Please pray their furniture and

 personal things will get there before they

 told them which is not until June 23rd, so

 they have been living in their house without

 anything but clothing pretty much. So it has

 been a longgg week I am sure!!

#2

Thankful to have been a part of their

 journey and to know the Lord answered

 so many prayers on their behalf,  just

 makes me weep with gratitude knowing

 what a loving God we serve, and how 

much He loves us.

#3

Thankful that gifts are wrapped and dinner

planned and shopping done for Father's Day

dinner.  Working on the table today, and will

make Beef Stroganoff tomorrow for 

Sunday, as it is best the day after.

#4

Thankful for a lovely visit with our new

neighbor Sat. morning.  We had invited them

over last week, and her hubby was sick,

so they couldn't come, so she text and ask

 if she could bring us some banana bread

This morning, and we had a lovely visit.

she is our Daughters age, and such a 

sweet young lady.

#5 and 6

Thankful for being able to attend lil darlings

dance recital tonight. It was quite good, and

she did a really great job and we can see

 how she has really grown in confidence.

Then we went out to dinner with she and

our Son.  A very pleasant evening, I have 

to say.  Also we have been wanting to

try our Sonny's Barbecue place for 

awhile now, cause we had gotten where

we didn't like it for a long time,  but they

have redone it, so our Son suggested going

 there, so very Thankful we really enjoyed it.

#7

Thankful for a nice restful and peaceful

Father's day.  We watched our Sunday

Service from home for a number of 

reasons, and then our Son and lil darling

came in the afternoon to celebrate.

So we had a nice dinner, visit, and UNO

card games. Both Dads were happy

with their dinner, cards and gifts

and the fun time! 

So Mission accomplished!!!  lol

#8

Thankful to sleep in this Monday morning 

as Iwas exhausted as it had been a busy

end of the week.  

#9

Thankful and excited that we will get

to see our Daughter and Son-in-love

for a few days again this week which

is very unusual.....

#10

Thankful for Cuban food, which we had 

for dinnera number of nights.  Black beans

 yellow rice, and a meat dish called Picadillo.

 Learned to make this in our first year of

 marriage, taught by a Cuban friend and

 work mate.

Click here to see recipe for Picadillo

Click here to see recipe for Black Beans

and rice.  Also another Cuban dish

called Ropa Veija, all on same post.

#11

Thankful that our Daughter, Son-in-love and 

furry grandson dog got in safe and sound

from S Carolina.

#12

Thankful we had a good time with them

as always.  We all tried to go out to dinner

last night, but unfortunately, we went to

Target to meet our Son, and I had been

 having a headache but was better, but all

 of a sudden I started to get whoozy

 headed and weak and my equilibrium was

 off and could not walk very straight, so

 had thinking it might be blood sugar, they

got me a snicker bar to eat, but it didn't

 help, so we all had to come home and we

 ordered take out.

 I am sure they were all disappointed, 

as I was, but they all had a great attitude,

 and took good care of me.  So thankful

 for my sweet family and that Dee and

 family got to visit again so soon, and

 thankful that I am feeling better today.

  So don't know if it was just a sinus issue

electrolytes or what it was, but happy

 to be feeling better today. Kids are on 

their way to see her hubbies parents for

his Mom's birthday and to visit with the

whole family.  

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

Well, That's it for this week at Cozy Place.

This is the Father's Day edition.  lol

Thanks for stoppin by.....

Have a fantastic weekend

Love, Hugs,

and Mid June Blessings,

Thankful Thursday June 12, 2025, and #3 Fathers day table from the past (For the Kings of coffee)

As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

Happy Thursday, Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you all well and happy.

Can't believe only 8 more days and

it will officially be Summer, course,

it has been like Summer here in

Florida for awhile now. Am trying

to decide if I want to add a bit of

a summer coastal look in the family

or living room.......will see once we

get Father's day under our belt. lol

Pictures today are of another 

Father's day table past.  It was

called the Kings of coffee.

on our ice maker and we had

to take everything out, so was

a great time to rearrange and

organize everything. Also thankful

them and do all that. Now, that 

is progress,  PTL

#12

Thankful for mornings that I wake

up a daybreak, and look out the

plants, and critters are all still

sleeping, and all just seems right

with the world.  Such sweet and

peaceful moments.  This morning

was one of those mornings!!

Thankful we got to watch the K-love

awards.  It is always such an unlifting

event to watch, and love how they

cheer each other on in their gifts

and talents, just as it should be....

Well, folks,  that is it for Cozy 

Place today. This is the Daughter's

visit edition!!  It was short but sweet

and packed with joy and blessings

of being together, always a great

time for all of us, and we long for

 the day we can live in the same place,

 which might not be till we get to heaven, 

but in the meantime we are thankful

 for cell phones, email, facebook 

messenger, facetime and short or

 longer visits that help us stay 

connected.

Thanks for making us a part of 

your day, and have a wonderful

rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and

Mid-June Blessings,

Nellie
