Scripture Sunday

Good Sunday Afternoon

to you Sweet Friends,

Here is the scriptures for today.

Psalms 91.....It just seems like the best 

for our current situation.

I know it is long....but it is something that 

should bring comfort. I was just gonna write

 to read Psalm 91, but I thought there might

be some who might read this who don't have

 access to a bible.  Anyway, I love reading

this and claiming it for myself and all

 those I love.............

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most

 High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 

2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and

 my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s

 snare and from the deadly pestilence

4 He will cover you with his feathers, and

 under his wings you will find refuge; his

 faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 

5 You will not fear the terror of night,

 nor the arrow that flies by day, 

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

 nor the plague that destroys at midday. 

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand, 

but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes 

and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
 and you make the Most High your dwelling, 

10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster

will come near your tent. 

11 For he will command his angels concerning

 you to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that
 you will not strike your foot against a stone. 

13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; 

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, 

“I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he 

acknowledges my name. 

15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; 

I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver

him and honor him. 

16 With long life I will satisfy him 

and show him my salvation.”

Don't forget to Pray today as Pres. Trump

has called for a National Day of Prayer

for us all to come together in prayer for

this terrible virus and our country and

those who are leading the charge of 

this crisis and also for all our hospital

workers, nurses and Doctors, and for

the families who have lost loved ones.

Also, a good time to thank God for our 

President and his family and cabinet.

Love and Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday March 12, 2020, Photoshop playing with Spring table pics

The LORD is my strength and my defense ; 

he has become my salvation.
 He is my God, and I will praise him, 
my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

Exodus 15:2 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,


Hope you are having a good and 
productive day.

Ours has been,  we got up and
went to work in the yard.  I did
window washing, while hubby
dug out our old boxwood plants.
The windows look great and I am
happy to see those boxwood gone!
So now we definitely have to find
a replacement shrub for them.
We are thinking Dwarf Azaleas
right now but gotta do some re-
search on that still.............
Was very happy with what we
got done, but of course, there is
lots more to do till we finish but
we are making progress which
is always a good things.

Pics today are results of my
playing with photoshop affects
cause I took too many pics of
our 1st Spring table.  lol
I think they are fun and thought
you might as well....

You can see the affects much
better if you click on any pic
and it will make them all
large.

With a Cutout Affect

#1

Thankful for a fun night out shopping

for hubby and my sister-in-law for

their birthdays.  I had to return the

things I got for Susan from the week

before, as they did not fit right and

 then get her some thing else. She

was very pleased with the new

clothing and it looked and fit

very nicely. Then enjoyed dinner

at Cheddars......

#2

Thankful for a lovely time with the

 family celebrating hubby and lil 

darlings birthdays. The weather was

so nice out we got to sit out in the 

yard some while lil darling enjoyed 

swinging. Dinner was really good

too, if I do say so myself.....lol

Beef Brisket,Mashed Potatoes and

a yummy Tropical Salad (click

here for the recipe) with

 Key Lime Pie for dessert.

Thankful that our contractor finally

showed up again and worked on our

shed and is pretty much finished other 
than just a few small odds and ends, 
which hopefully he will do next week-
end, so he can get his money. It was
a whole year on Feb. 23rd.- we knew
he worked a full time job and it would
take a while but never dreamed it
would take this long. So very excited
 about getting this project over with
 to say the least, but thankful we at 
least have been able to put some large
things in there since December.

 It was also a nice unexpected birthday 
present for hubby to have him show
 up on Saturday and Sunday.......lol



#4
Thankful for my sweet hubby and
 what a godly man he is....He also
 loves and supports his family and
 others, is very wise, brilliant and
handy as well.......and the list
could go on, for sure.

#5
Thankful the we had a long time
friend of 48 years visit us on
Tuesday and Wednesday.  He is
single now, when we knew him
he was married with 2 daughters.
They are now grown daughters
with almost grown children.
We really had a fun time catching
up and hearing about some of the
changes in his life in the last yr.
or so, that are very good.




#6
Thankful that our single parent
friend is getting to go on a trip to 
Israel with our church.  She really 
needs this trip as she is just sort of 
burned out as she has been raising 
not just her own children over the
 years, but many children since she
was just a teenager. She is just such 
a loving and giving young woman.
She has always wanted to go to the
 Holy Land.  So praying she has a 
 Wonderful time of Refreshment,
 and that the Lord meets her there
 in a very special way, and revives
 her body. mind and spirit.

Note:  The trip was cancelled due
to a 2 wk quarantine to get into
Israel due to the Coronavirus.
They are rescheduling for Oct.
I think it is.  She was bummed
but of course, knows it is for the
best. So decided to go visit some
relatives and the beach.

#7
Thankful for more yard work
that we got done, and some
new pretty copper solar lights
we put in.


#8
Thankful that my friend who
hurt her leg (with the hairline
fracture) last week, went to an
orthopedic Dr. and they took
her out of that full leg support
thing and gave her a flexible
support which has made things
 a bit easier for her to not to
put weight on that leg, where
before she couldn't help not
doing that. They also have
her exercising it a lil bit too.
Just an up and down move-
ment which was surprising.

Distorted Pinch affect


#9
Thankful that I got my new
glasses today. I really like
both of them, and they was
not much to adjust to which
is nice.  I got some plastic
frames this time with out the
lil nose thingies and so far
I like them a lot, they are
quite different for me, as I 
am not used to having that
 thick a frame around my
glasses.  I also got a pair of 
wire frames as well, they are
pretty close to what I had
before, cause I still like
them.


#10
Thankful that everything is 
finally finished at my daughter
and son-in-loves beach cottage
as it's been a long haul and a
bit stressful at times, with having
to stay on top of getting their
workmen to get things done in
the time frame they promised,
as they have been quite a bit
behind schedule and they have 
their first rental guests of the
year coming in on March 16th.
So they will be headed back
to their normal home today.
They are having pictures taken
of the outside on Friday so will
be able to share those with you
soon.

Posterized affect



#11 and 12
Thankful for a fun night out.
We had to exchange a shirt and 
shorts that hubby got for his
 birthday.  They were the right 
size, but didn't fit like it.....
fortunately we were able to get 
the same shorts in the same color
 and the same shirt but in a different
color, but they both look nice
 together.
We also had fun going to Home
 Depot to look at shrubs and 
plants.  We need to pull up some
 old boxwood plants that we have
 had for ages, cause they are not
looking real great, so trying to 
figure out what to replace them
with.  We saw some Croton 
plants and thought they would
be nice and colorful for a nice
change, but think they will 
grow too big for that area as
the windows are low and we
don't want anything covering
them.  So gotta do some re-
search and 

talk to our Son
and see what he thinks (since
he is in that job field).  Hope
we can use them cause they
would really look nice with
the color brick on our home. 
Thankful for dinner out at our
fav Mexican restaurant.  I had
Taco Salad and it was perfect.
So yummy!

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

Have a Super Duper Weekend,

First Spring Table

Afternoon Sweet Friends,

Hope you are having a lovely Tuesday.

Ours has been good and busy, and the lovely

will come later....lol   We are preparing for

a visit from a friend of 48 years,  so just

finished up the  quest bedroom a few hours

 ago,  and tying up any lose ends, like run-

ning to the store for few things.....

and hubby did that for me.  So I actually

had some time to post today.  lol

Thought I would share my First Spring 

Table of the year, which was for my 

Sister-in-law Susan's birthday. Was

trying to come up with an idea for a 

table, and was looking thru my stash for

 ideas and came across these adorable

Spring plates and napkins I got at the

 dollar tree awhile back. Thought

they would be perfect even tho it

wasn't Spring they were cute and

would add a touch of whimsy to

for a ladies table.

A lil Tip from me:

I try to pick up paper goods when I

find some that are pretty and at a good

price cause I always find a time to

use them............

and I still had my Valentine's flowers from

hubby, and thought they went well with

the plates and napkins. So just stuck them

in a white and pretty pot and added some

candles and I had a centerpiece.

 I have gotten a

lot of mileage from this lil azalea plant.

It is still in bloom on my kitchen table

and it has been almost 4 weeks now.

I decided to us my peach stemware Susan 

 had given me, so stuck some gold mercury

 glass candle holders inside 2 of them

and they made for nice candle holders

and glasses around the table.

They only had dessert plates so just put

them on our white corelle ware and used

them for color and for salad plates. I

used 2 at each place setting to make

them more sturdy for salad.

Thought the green table cloth was perfect

as the white shows up so nicely and I love

pink, peach, green and white together.

and I obeyed what the napkin said.

"Keep Life Simple"

So I just did a simple table.........

course, a lot of my tables are 

simple....lol

Used some vintage silverware that was

 passed down from hubbies family.  I love

it's patina and it has dainty lil flowers on 

it and always reminds me of my baby

 silverware my Mom had bought for me.

A Few overviews

We had Beef Stroganoff, yellow rice, and

my rendition of a Better Homes and Gardens

Salad,  (Click here if you would like the

recipe), rolls, Cheesecake and Buttermilk

Pie w/ Strawberries.  If it sounds yummy

that's cause it was.........lol

The whole family loves Beef Stroganoff,

it was my late  Mother-in-laws recipe.

I had never eaten it before I met hubbys

family.  She used to put it over egg

noodles but I am not crazy about egg

noodles for some reason, so I prefer it

 over rice, yellow or Jasmine rice, but

if you happen to be an egg noodle

lover you might want to try it that

way.

I was gonna share my version of

  the Beef Stroganoff recipe with

you but couldn't locate it, so 

maybe I just didn't do it yet. 

 I try to put most of our favorites

 on here so my daughter can get

them if and when she wants.

Next time I make it I will have 

to post the recipe.

Thanks for coming by,

and

Have a great rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and

Last of Winter Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday March 5, 2020, Winter look living room #2

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

Greetings Sweet Friends,


Hope you are having a good day.

It is a gloriously beautiful day here in
Florida, perfect temp and was overcast
but now is sunny and bright.  Hubby 
and I got up early and worked out in
our front yard, cutting more bushes,
mulching and sprucing up. More to 
go, but we made quite a dent at least.
This is when I love yard work when
it is cool and breezy and you can
really enjoy being outside.

Better look at the picture,  it came
from a Winter Magazine I had.

Pictures today are from the rest of 
our Winter Look Living room.

Now on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful for a great time at our
friends house last Thursday night.
We had a lovely time, and she made
a wonderful dinner and the table
looked beautiful, and the fellow-
ship was sweet.


#2
Thankful that my hubby was able
to help one of our friends daughter,
 with her Geometry on Saturday. 
 She is really a smart girl, but think
 she just needed someone to help
 instill some confidence in what she
 already knew.  So she seemed to
 feel more confident when she left.

everything on our cars for the most
part his entire married life, so he
deserves this long awaited break.

Thankful for our Sweet granddaughter. 
She turned 7 yrs. old on Wednesday.
  She is just the most precious child, 
and has brought so much joy to our
family. Growing up so fast....and some-
how you wish you could slow it down....
Course, we know that is just not possible, 
but doesn't keep us from wishing tho.  lol

We took her to get a cup cake at the

mall after school on Thursday and

gave her a few outfits for her birth-

day, and she will be able to celebrate

again on Sunday when Grampy

and all the family celebrate he

and her birthdays.  Grammy (me)
