Thankful Thursday September 25, 2025, Fall decorating #2

There is a time for everything, and a season

 for every activity under the heavens:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV

Greeting Sweet Friends,

and Happy Fall to Yall 

Not feeling Fallish outside here yet,

but it is inside the house.....lol

Been a good week for the most part,

but my hubby had some issues that 

weren't so fun, but he is better now,

just still healing up.  You will read

about it below.

Pictures this week are from our

 Fallercized family room. 

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful to be able to go to another

 Volley Ball game and out to dinner

 with Lil darling and her Dad again.

They won both games again, but it 

was an on the edge of your seat game.

  Neck and Neck till the last minute.

Very exciting to watch.

#2

Thankful for sunshine,  love getting my

 Vitamin D that way too. Feels awesome and boosts your serotonin levels and helps you

keep a lil bit of a tan too.

Note, In case you don't know.... it is really

 good for anyone who is struggling with depression to sit out in the sun for about

 10-15 mins. 3-5 times a week , as it

really will help fight depression.

#3

Thankful for a number of long chats with

our Daughter this week.

#4

Thankful that one of our Pastors daughters

 sang the National. Anthem at our ball

 game,  She also plays volleyball as well.

She did such an amazingly beautiful job, 

so proud of her. Her Mom and whole 

family are very musically inclined and

very talented... they all sing beautifully.  

#5

Thankful that my hubby ran to the

store to get some subs for din din, and

 came back with Fall Roses colored

roses as they were on sale, which was

 great. as I only pay full price if I just

have to have them for a special table

or something. He had noticed my ones 

I got over a week ago had taken 

a nose dive. It was wierd cause the

 buds were still fine, and had hardly

opened, but they just went limp.

Such a sweet surprise. and now they

look pretty on the dining room table

again, and this time he really did

bring them to me.  lol

#6

Thankful for Publix subs. I get the 

Cuban sub and it is always delicious.

#7

Thankful for these wonderful cookies

we found in our Publix bakery, they

are called "Cranberry Orange Short

bread cookies", and they are really

delicious.

#8

Thankful to be able to watch and be

blessed by Charlie Kirk's Memorial

Service. It was amazing to see all the

 people that were there..... over 90-100

thousand in attendance, and 8 million +

watched on Newsmax.  We watched

it on TBN, so no telling how man

watched on TBN and other media. 

So many folks that had nothing but

great things to say about him and how

he had touched their lives. It was truly

like watching a revival unfold before

your eyes. We could feel the Lord's

presence there, even in our home.

Such an inspirational gathering.

#9

Thankful to know the peace. comfort

 and joy that can only come from the

Lord, during times like these.

#10

Thankful hubby was able to get an

appt. with the Dr. tomorrow, as he

has a very Angry Sebaceous cyst

on this back.  Just flared up over

the weekend.

Note:  Went to Dr. and they cleaned

it out, but in 6 weeks or so, he will

have to have it removed. Dr. tried to

get it out but it wouldn't come with

out surgery, unfortunately, but hopefully

 it will be feeling better by tomorrow.

#11

Thankful I came across an old

blog post with a recipe for chicken

and cheese enchiladas that we liked

but some how forgot about, so made

them for din din tonight and they were

 sooo good, if I do say so myself. It is

an easy recipe, and I loved that I could

doll mine all up with lettuce, tomatoes,

scallions and cilantro, sour cream and 

Guacamole. We have been missing some

 of those ingredients on Mexican food

 when we eat out or they barely put any

 on....and altho I liked the food, not as

 well as what I made tonight....

Cause I had it my way!!! lol

Click here to get the recipe.

Oh Poo, just realized I should

 have taken a picture cause

 the recipe doesn't have one.

#12

Thankful hubby is feeling better as

he was having considerable pain with

that cyst, even after they lanced it.

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

That's it for Cozy Place today.

Hope you have a lovely weekend ahead

and 

Happy you could visit with us.

Love, Hugs,

 and last of September Blessings,

Thankful Thursday September 18, 2025, and Fall decorating at Cozy Place #1

 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with  all of you.        2 Thessalonians 3:16 NIV

Morning Sweet Friends,

It's been quite a week of emotions for us,

and I would imagine for you and yours

as well. Hard to believe it has only been

a week since the assassination of Charlie

Kirk, but such a whirlwind of things good

and bad that have happened that we could

 have never imagined. Even in the bad

times there is still much to be thankful

for.....

Pictures today are of Fall decorating at Cozy Place,

which is one thing I have been up to for the past

 week or so, and happy to be enjoying now! lol

I draw enjoyment and inspiration from some

of yalls decorating and hope you will have the

same good experience that I have, so today

I am showing you are living room.

So....On with my Thankfuls.

#1

Thankful we got to go to lil darlings Volley Ball

game this week,  unfortunately because she is 

a newbie on the team she didn't get play, which

 is hard for her, but that's typically how it is....

but her team did win, so that was nice.

Then we went out to dinner with she and her

 dad, our Son.  Was a good time as always,

#2

Thankful for some lovely orange roses and 

2 white baby boo pumpkins I found at the

 grocery store. I teased my hubby that I 

was gonna put them on facebook.... and say

 "Look what my hubby brought me... these

 beautiful fall roses"..........and make him

 look good!!  lol

well, he did pay for them @ checkout......

It's sort of a joke with us, because I hear some

people say things (I think sometimes out of 

sour grapes) that people put stuff on facebook

 to make things look better than they really

 are...or to make others jealous.

#3

Thankful I finally finished my Fall decorating!!

We are really enjoying the look of Fall, inside our

 house at least!!  lol  Cooler weather is coming but it

 will be closer to the end of October probably.

Now gotta pack away the leftovers and get it out to

the garage and vacuum and it will be a done deal

 for a few months...........

For the last 5 years I have thought, I am not

 gonna do as much this year, but I have such a

 collection from over the 45 yrs. we have lived here,

 and decor pcs. that I love and so many have been 

given to me, by those I love, and  I enjoy the

 creativity of decorating, that when it comes

 down to it,  I just can't seem to help myself.  

It's sort of a trip down memory lane. lol

Note: Every thing put away, and house 

vacuumed, so we are happy campers.

#4

So thankful to be able to go back to church

 this morning.  After being home for 2

 Sundays it seemed like months.  It was

a great service and Pastor Juan is teaching

on marriage for the next few weeks. 

A much needed subject especially for many

young marriages.

#5

Thankful that I met 2 separate lil teenage 

girls at church today.  One has been coming 

for about a year and the other one, it was

 her first  time and she came alone, only 

16 yrs. old.  So we asked if she would like

 to sit with us and she did.  They were

both adorable young ladies.

#6 

Thankful we got to go out with our lunch 

buddies today too. Had a fun lunch with

 lots of laughter, and it was neat that her

103 yr. old Dad was back with us.  He

had taken a trip up north to visit her

sister and other relatives. They had a

birthday party for his sister she was

100 yrs. old, and she passed away just

2 days later, and he has another sister

who is 97 yrs, old.  They sure have a

lot of longevity in their family, which

is neat............they must have done a

great job of honoring their parents.

(Ref: Exodus 20:12 from the bible)

#7

Thankful for the opportunity to buy a

stranger's lunch while we were at the

restaurant. He was an elderly man....

I say that like I am not....lol  He had

forgotten his wallet in the car, and left

 his phone on the table so they know he'd

 be back, and we have always wanted to

do that, so we jumped at the chance.

He was very surprised and grateful,

and a blessing to us too.

#8

Thankful for Bacon, lettuce, and tomato

sandwiches for breakfast.  I love them,

but rarely think to eat them for some reason.

As kids, we used to eat them a lot.

#9

Thankful for a sweet blast from my past.

It happened just as I was finishing my

 decorating.  I was doing the top of my 

china hutch and I had put a book up

 their a long time ago to put something

on top of it, but had to take it down as

it was in the way, and saw that it was

an old book from when I was a kid so

 I opened it and my Mom had written

something inside, which I don't ever

remember seeing before and it was

a reminder to me of the sweet Mom

I grew up with.....she has been gone

about 20 yrs. now, but when I was in

my early 20's my Mom had a tragic

incident and was never the same after

that, so even tho we loved her still

our relationships with her were very

difficult most of the time, but we know

she is in heaven and I know that our

relationship will be perfect when I see

her next time...........looking forward

to that!!

#10

Thankful for another sweet blast from

the past this morning. Was dusting in

my china hutch this morning, and I

remembered some years back when

my china hutch just imploded on me.

I was stunned because it was just all

of a sudden and very loud, but the

 Lord protected me and spoke to me

about the loss of the broken things.

Love these reminders of his goodness.

#11

Thankful that today is the 58th Anniverary

 of some of our dearest friends.  We have

 known each other 40+ years. They are a

great testimony of a good marriage.

#12

Thankful that another friend who lives

alone and was trying to decide if she

should retire or not, because she was

feeling like "what am I gonna do with

myself"  She finally asked the Lord,

how long do you want me to work?

cause she is gonna be 79 soon.  Two

days later her boss came to her and

said they were gonna downsize her

to part time because their enrollment

was down.  She is already working

from home, so will just continue that.

That is a great way to ease into her

retirement.  She was very happy for

that quick answer to prayer and

direction............

Well....that's it for Cozy Place

this week.

Happy you spent some time with us

and

Hope you have a good rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and

Mid September Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday September 11, 2025

 

The Lord has established his throne in heaven,

 and his kingdom rules over all.”

 Psalm 103:19

Hello Sweet Friends,

Well, it has been a rough couple of days for our

 country. Meaning the assassination of Charlie

Kirk, another school shooting in Colorado, and

 then the remembrance of Sept. 11th.

Since it is Sept. 11th, just had to put a picture

 of the twin towers. We should never forget......

but I think some people might have and want

to continue to put our country at risk.

Very Disturbing to say the least, but we 

also have to remember who is in charge and

on HIS throne and so Thankful He knows

what He is doing...........

for

“God reigns over the nations; 

God is seated on his holy throne.” 

Psalm 47:8 NIV

Sorry... just that one picture today since

I am running so late......but also since

nothing seems appropriate given the

circumstances of Sept. 10th....

On with my Thankfuls......

#1 and 2

Thankful we were able to get lil darling from school,

and take her to volleyball practice.  As we watched

we can see how much she has improved since the

last time.  Which was only 3 practices before.

Also thankful, we along with her Dad all went

out to dinner together for Barbecue.  So it was

all a nice time.

#3

Thankful for some delicious cinnamon rolls we

 found at Walmart Supercenter, that were so good. 

 We had thenm for Breakfast after eating bacon

 and eggs.  Yummy!!

#4

Thankful for 2 good school days with lil darling

and a few good chats, and some time to do some

 Fall decorating together.  and she made her

 first floral arrangement. an it came out 

really good.

#5

Thankful for a dish we made this week

called Chimi Chicken Bowls. It is the best

 thing I have eaten in a long time, so tasty.

It has chimichurri sauce.  We also did

it a few days later and used steak, it was

also amazingly delicious.

Check back soon, if you would like the recipe

as I am gonna try and write my version

 of it down for later use. Hopefully I can

do it by next week maybe.

#6

Thankful once again, that we can watch

our church from home, cause I somehow

threw my back out, and am having trouble

 getting up and down when I sit...........

#7

Thankful for a wonderful movie we watched

 on Pure Flix, called "Someone like You".

Written by Karen Kingbury, it has a really

wonderful story line, very clean and uplifting

but you might need a kleenex in a few scenes.

Best movie we have seen in awhile.

#8

Thankful that once again, the invest that

was out in the Atlantic Ocean has dissipated.

Many answers to prayer this Hurricane

Season..........and believing for it to be good

the rest of the season.  The Lord is good.

#9

Thankful that my back is doing somewhat

better,  not quite there yet, but great not

to be in as much pain.

#10

Thankful that the letter we sent to the A/C

Company (if you read my last Thankful post

I wrote about it) brought a phone message

 saying they were ordering the part and they 

would be out to put it in when the part arrived

 and that it would be under warranty. Can't

say the fellow seemed real happy about it

but we called and thanked him and told

him, we would be praying the A/C Co. 

would honor their warranty and pay them.

Will consider it a done deal once the part

is put in, and then, we can continue on our

 good relationship that we have had these

 past almost 45 years.

#11

Thankful the A/C Company came out the

next morning and fixed the problem, so

we had them put in a surge protector, so

hopefully that will help us not have any

problems since we do get power surges

and lots of thunder and lightning. they

thought it was a power surge that messed

it up to begin with........

So it's a done deal..........YAY

#12

Thankful that given the horrific events of

 September 10th, I am extremely grateful 

that Sept. 11th passed us by without any

other horrible things happening.

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

That's it for Cozy Place this week.

Have a somber but peaceful weekend.

Glad you were here.

Love, Hugs, and 

Mid September Blessings,

Nellie
