Valentines gift early since we want

and Thankful she really liked it.

#2

Thankful for a fun evening out going to

 "Home Goods" and dinner at Red Lobster. 

We haven't been to either place in awhile.

Home Goods had so much inventory it 

reminded us of Pre-covid days, We

 didn't bring anything home but we really

 had a fun time checking it all out. Red

Lobster, food was good, but reminded

 us of the reality of how things are

 now!!  lol

#3

Thankful that someone we know and love

came thru surgery well, to have a mass

 removed this week, and things went well,

 she is still waiting on the biopsy results

 and working on recovery like normal.

#4

Thankful that the young Mom who was in

 treatment for the psychiatric issues is going

 home to her parents house this weekend, 

 and then they will take her home next

week. Also, her diagnosis was much better

as well.

Note: As of Tuesday Evening she was

back home with her family. Awesome

Praise the Lord for this answer to prayer.

#5

Thankful to see a video of one of our

younger Pastors who went to his 

daughter's ballet class, when they

had bring your Dad to class day.

So he did a little dance routine with

 her. It was adorable and so funny,

 he has a great sense of humor and

 he is also a very tall man, so it

 really made me laugh.  We have 

known him most of his life, and

 love what a Wonderful Man, 

Husband, Father, and example

He is to everyone.

#6

Thankful for an early surprise

bouquet of white roses for Valentines day,

 that are now, gracing our coffee table,

and looking so pretty.

#7

Thankful for a good day at church, as usual.

  We ran into a girl who used to go to our church

 back when she was a older teenager, she is 50

now and has been married for 30 yrs. and has

 4 children. She is actually married to a guy

who used to live a few houses away from us.

 We have seen her a few times here and there,

 over the years. Was great to see her. Sounds

like she might come back to our church.

Hope so.......Cause she is such a delightful

girl (woman now!).

#8

Thankful that we got to have food from

Taco Bell today.  We hardly ever get to

do that because there is always a line

around the building and it takes you

about a half hour. So that was a

Special treat for us today. (Sunday)

#9

Thankful that our sweet neighbors

just sent over a big container of

homemade Chicken and Dumplings.

(Sunday Evening) Delicious as always.

#10

Thankful to hear there has been a mighty

 move of God that started at Asbury College

 in Kentucky last Wed. during a typical 

chapel service, and many other colleges

 have come from other places as well.

If we ever needed a move of God in a

big way....it is now!!

Note: heard today it is still going on

and it's 9 days later.  People are coming

from all over the place even from

around the world. So Amazing,

So Needed.......

#11

Thankful for a Bacon, lettuce and tomato

 Sandwich on ciabatti bread for breakfast

 this morning.  Haven't had one in along

 time.....and it was so good.  Used to eat

these all the time as a kid.

#12

Thankful to have the opportunity to be a

 listening ear, comfort and and prayer warrior

for someone who is going through a plethora

of different situations, about 12 to be exact.

Enough to do anyone in.....I would add.

We are praying for a might move of God

 to say the least...........

Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.

Thanks for coming by....

Have a Lovely rest of the week.

Love, Hugs, and

Mid February Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday February 9, 2023, Our Winter look in the family room....

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; 

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. 

 Let us come before him with thanksgiving 

and extol him with music and song.

Psalm 95:1-2 NIV

Welcome to Thankful Thursday 

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well, and enjoying your 

Winter months. Course, that is much easier for those

 of us who live in Florida, as we get breaks from the

 cold, and we don't get as cold as northern states for sure.

 I would love to see some snow tho.....not live in it,

or have to shovel it tho...........lol

Pictures today are of our Winter look in the family

 room, and yes, we still have our Christmas tree up,

 but it's just a natural looking tree with faux snow

now.  lol  We left it up last Winter too, and we

just so enjoy the lights, so figured hey, why Not?

I left some things that are Christmas decorations

but if they looked like Winter to me, I left them

up.  Like our fireplace.....I just took anything

red out of it, and added white and more gold to the

wreath.  Have to say we have really enjoyed

it all.........and are still enjoying it.  However,

I do have red in the living room.....you will see

that next week............

So on with Thankful Thursday......

 #1

Thankful for today (Thursday) Picked up lil darling

from school, had a few hours with her, then out to dinner

with hubby at Outback, and took a trip to Marshalls.

#2

Thankful to hear from our young family whose Mom

had the psychiatric issues on Friday, She is doing well, 

they have found a wonderful Christian place for her treat-

ment, and they are slowly weaning her off meds that the

 hospital put her on, so they can make sure they are 

making the right diagnosis.  So if you feel so led please

 pray for wisdom for her Drs. and counselors.

#3

Thankful to hear on Sat. that they finally shot

down that unmanned Chinese spy balloon that entered

our airspace and floated all the way across our

country for days.

#4

Thankful for seeing a number of Red Cardinals

and Robin Redbreast Birds in our yard in the

passed week or so. Makes me think Spring is

just around the corner maybe.

#5

Thankful for a good day at church, talked to

some new people, and went out to lunch with

hubby at Carrabbas.

#6

Thankful for Lactaid products,  I have

lactose intolerance and drink their milk all

the time, but take the pills when I need to

for other stuff.

#7

Thankful that we have found some other things we

can make in our air fryer that we got for Christmas.

Made some broccoli (It was nice and crispy and

we both really liked it) chicken tenders, and my

hubbies favorite, Jalapeno Poppers. We had

kind of forgotten about it.....lol

Also made some Asparagus, it was great too.

#8

Thankful to have finished 3 Valentines today

 (Monday), and working on some more.

#9

Thankful for the Lord's direction about a physical issue

 I have had most of my life, but has gotten worse with age.

#10

Thankful for "Sugar Bomb" grape tomatoes.

They are the best grape tomato.  So tasty and

just loved to eat them all by themselves.

#11

Thankful for getting to spend a fun night with 

our sweet neighbors.  I made brownies and had

them over for brownie Sundae's, it was easy and

a lot of fun.  Keeping it simple works the best.

#12

Thankful for the gift of laughter....how would

we ever make it through life.  Sometimes things

or situations are just so ridiculous you just have

to laugh.  God's word says Laughter is 

good medicine,  I have to agree heartily.

Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.

Thanks for coming by

and

Hope you have a Wonderful rest of the week.

Thankful Thursday February 2, 2023, pics of cute puppies

Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
    they are ever praising you.

Psalm 84:4 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Welcome to February!!

So....where did January go..........

Is it just me, or does it seem like Christmas was eons ago???

Hope this finds you and yours doing well these

first days of February.....and as you can see all

over blogland, we all seem to be anticipating the 

Sweet and Fun day of Valentine's Day.

I didn't decorate for it this year, but might do

a few vignettes possibly, and a table, However,

I am surely thinking about what to have for dinner

(which is typically take out).  We have not been 

out on Valentines day for years, because they are 

usually having races at Daytona Speedway which

draws lots of people to the area, and all the restaurants 

near and far are crazily packed.

You might already be able to tell what the pictures 

are for this week....if not,  Puppies.....just happened

to see some and decided that would be fun, cause

who doesn't love a puppy!

Now on to Thankful Thursday.........

#1

Thankful for a great day with lil darling.

We were schooling all day but had some time 

to have fun as well, when we take breaks. Played

 some Pictionary, made a lemon cake together, 

introduced her to a show we really like and she 

liked it too, "Bringing up Bates", one of

our favorite shows. and she had time to do some

 swinging as well.  After her school work was

done she wanted to play spa, and I was her

client, wow, it was quite relaxing, she even found

some relaxing music to play on her ipod, and she

 did my nails, and they looked so pretty, course, the 

polish is already chipping off today, which is why

 I rarely do my nails.

#2

Thankful that we have the opportunity to home

school lil darling every other Friday....we

both love doing it, and think she enjoys it too.

#3 and 4

Thankful to have finished my Winter decorating

and Thankful to have all the Christmas things

packed away in the garage once again. Nice to

be able to see my dining room table again, and the

house is back to normal, Thank Heavens!!

#5

Thankful that hubby was able to fix our printer,

As it has an ink pad inside of it, think they all

have it, but anyway, our was overfilled and not

working, so he was able to buy the inserts and

put them in, so have tested it but haven't actually

printed anything of value yet.

#6

Thankful for a good Sunday.  We to church

sat in a different place and met some new people,

then out to lunch with our friends.....finally!!

#7

Thankful that we got to have lil darling all day

again on Monday.  A nice Surprise.....

She had less school work than on Friday, so

that was nice too,  So we had more time to play.

Her new thing is playing like a spa entrepreneur,

and wow, she does a great job!!  lol

Felt like I had died and gone to heaven. lol

I could play this all day long..........

have happened to us, but didn't ...So thankful

for God's watch care over us and our family.
