Thankful Thursday March 30, 2023, and Spring flowers

Rejoice in the Lord always.

I will say it again: Rejoice!

Philippians 4:4 NIV

Spring Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and happy

and probably at least starting to

prepare for your Easter Celebration.

I am not quite there yet, as I am still

redecorating for Spring, but hopefully

by Monday that will all be behind me

and I can turn my heart and mind

toward celebrating for Easter.

Pictures today are of Spring

Flowers.......They will bring some beauty to

your life and make your heart sing!

At least that's what they do for me!!

So on with my Thankfuls.....

Thankful to be all unpacked and back to normal, after our trip to our Daughter and Son-in-Loves. Always great to get away, but always nice to come home, as well.

Thankful that our house always smells so good when we walk in.....love that!

Thankful that another American Governor has banned these ridiculous and crazy things they are trying to put on our children and us....like men in women's sports and women's bathrooms, and giving children hormones and surgeries when they are not old enough to make those kinds of decisions for themselves. PTL for these brave Governors. We need a ton more.

Thankful that we got to pick up lil darling from school on Thursday and had a sleepover and then had schooling with her on Friday, and managed to squeeze in some fun as well. She just brightens our life so much. Always love having her.

Thankful to have gotten things done in our card shop that needed to be done. Next is to work on family Easter cards.

Thankful to finally be taking down my Winter decor, haven't finished but it's starting to look pretty sad and bare already, But it's gotta happen........

Thankful that I found some white linen

pants to go with a navy linen top I have,

that I have never worn.

Hopefully, it will make a nice new outfit.

Note: They arrived on my birthday

and fit and look great with my Navy top,

but I do have to hem them, too long.

But excited for the new outfit!!

Thankful for a sandwich maker hubby

got for his birthday, we used it for the

first time today, and the sandwiches

were great, and it was easy clean up too.

Thankful that we got to do schooling

with lil darling again today. (Monday)

We are getting to make up for some

the days we missed before and

while we were away, which is great.

Thankful Thursday March 23, 2023, Hubby and lil darlings birthday table

My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever. Psalm 145:21 NIV

Hello and Happy Spring Sweet Friends,

How are You?? Decorating for Spring by

now I would think! I will be starting in soon.

Too many birthdays and a trip has delayed me,

but also gives me something to look forward to

now that we are back home.

Pictures today are from another one of our

birthday dinners. This time for hubby and

lil darling......I know it looks like a summer

table, but since they both love the beach,

had thought it a good choice and then found

the pretty napkins below that sealed the deal.

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

Thankful to have made it to our Daughter and Son-in-loves in SC safely and with no issues, and thankful to be here to visit for a week.

Thankful for a new restaurant we finally got to try, It was called "Okra Grill" and it was really delicious. Have tried twice before to go there, but both times it was closed. So finally.....

Thankful for a fun times sitting in the sun, (even

tho it was cold out, it was warm sitting in the

sun.) and chatting and catching up with each

other and just being together.

Thankful for a delicious new salad we made

for the first time. Will definitely be making it

again. Oops, Just realized I forgot to get

the recipe. If I get it I will share it soon.

Thankful for a craft idea, that we tried

and we think turned out pretty well.. It's a

knock off of a carved bowl that we saw,

Will share our take on it.....

hopefully next week.

Thankful for the cool weather we have had

while we are here in Charleston So refreshing

and still feels like Winter....

Cause in Florida it's like we went from Winter

to Summer, course I think this week it is more

like Winter again there too. lol

Thankful for a fun day out window shopping

and going to some new stores we have not

visited before, then out to din din.

They have a new Ballard design store we

wanted to go to but they closed earlier than we

thought, so didn't get to do that, but we had fun

all the same.

Thankful for these blender bombs things my

Daughter has that have healthy things that go

in your smoothies. They have dates as a

natural sweetner plus other healthy things. You

add a banana, peanut butter and water. Pretty

good, but not super sweet which is good for

me,as I like to have smoothies in the spring

and summer for breakfast.

Thankful for a relatively new place called

"Crumbl", they have the most wonderful

cookies. I got a "Texas Sheet Cake"

Cookie and it tasted just like Texas Sheet Cake,

and was so decadent and delicious. We have

one in our neck of the woods too, and have

taken lil darling there a couple of times, but

only tried the "Sugar" and "Chocolate Chip" cookies. Think my

Daughters was "Almond Crunch Heath" or

something like that, and it was incredibly

delicious too.

#10

Thankful for another fun day out with our

Daughter before we left to come home, we went

several places but spent most of our time

in Hobby Lobby, where we really have so much

fun every time we go there. Got a few lil things

for Easter. Also got to go in Ballard Designs.

Beautiful store, mostly furniture, with gorgeous

fabrics and of course, high price tags.

Definitely enjoyed our visit there.

#11

Thankful we got home safe and sound on

Tuesday Evening. We had a lil bit of concern,

as our tire light came on....but hubby has a air

pump we carry in the car, so he stopped and

pumped all the tires and not too long after we

were driving again, it went out, so we felt

relieved that we didn't have a nail or

something in our tire....only to have the light

come back on about 20 mins. later, so we

drove on for awhile, then hubby checked again,

and the tires were all fine. So we had a

lying tire light!! lol Guess it's broken!

#12

Thankful for a Wonderful, Relaxing,

Refreshing, Reconnecting, Precious

time with the kids, always such a great

vacation for us all.

Well, That's it for Cozy Place

this week..............

Happy you could stop in....

Have a Wonderful Rest of the Week!

Love, Hugs, and

late March Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday March 16, 2023, and architectural images

May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;

may those who love your salvation always say,

Let God be exalted!

Psalm 70:4

Greetings Sweet Friends

Hope you have had a good week.

Ours has been good and busy but

we made it through and had a

good time as well.

Pictures today are images of things

with architectural interest. Thought

they were so unique and beautiful,

so hope you enjoy them.

So on with my Thankfuls

Thankful my hubby was able toget a dental appt. this week to fill in the tooth he had the root canal on last week. We didn't expect it this quickly, but were very pleased as he is not supposed to chew on that side but he keeps forgetting cause it isn't bothering him at all.

#2 and 3

Thankful to find some prettyCoastal napkins which set the theme for hubby and lil darlings birthday table. Finally! They both love the beach so knew it would probably be a coastal theme but just couldn't come up with anything for some reason. So the napkins were perfect.

Thankful table is all set and ready for Sunday.

Thankful for a really neat story of God's grace

and help on our radio station this morning.

This man was hiking in the mountains and it

unexpectedly starting snowing and he could

go no further so he was stuck and had no

cell service where he was, so he had a drone

with him, so he wrote a text on his phone

to friends, then tied the phone to his drone.

His friends got the text and sent emergency

help! How miraculous is that!

Definitely a God happening, the fact he even

thought of it and then that they got it!

Love this story!

Thankful that we found some Vanilla Wafers

that tasted good for making Banana Pudding.

It's a family favorite that I only make for

special occasions. We used to use Keebler

Vanilla Wafers only, but in recent years

they have been hard to find. They didn't

have any yesterday so we bought the

Publix brand and they were much better

than the regular Nilla Wafers our Moms

used to buy.

Thankful that all the birthday gifts

are ready to give.

Thankful that we have a washer and dryer.

Cause I remember only too well those early

days of marriage and going to the laundromat.

One time someone either left gum in the dryer or

threw some in, when we weren't there for a

few minutes. Gum got all over my husbands

dress shirts and pants, and he had to wear suit

and ties back then. PTL for the dryer cleaner

who took pity on this poor young couple who

didn't have the money to pay for all new clothes.

They somehow got it all out, and they didn't

charge us much at all, and I know they must

have put in quite a bit of work, so they were

such a blessing

Thankful that most of the food is prepared for tomorrow's birthday bash.

I just love make ahead dishes.

Thankful for toothbrushes and toothpaste

and dental care. Just imagine what our toofers would look like without it,

not something you really want to imagine

either. lol

#10

Thankful for a nice birthday bash with the family. Had a great meal and a good time. Hubby and lil darling both loved their gifts, and we played more Apples to Apples".

#11

Thankful for how beautiful lil darling looked in a dress we bought her at Christmas, She looked like such a lil lady. So mad I didn't get a pic. We did take a video as she practiced her Science project speech (she and Dad did) on us.
