Thankful Thursday November 3, 2022, More Fall decorating from 2022


Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
 Praise the LORD.
Psalm 150:6 NIV


Welcome to Thankful Thursday
Sweet Friends,

How are you this bright sun shiny day?
Hope you are doing well in every way.
I am doing well emotionally and spiritually
but not so well physically, my back is at it again.
 My back seemed back to normal and thought 
it was time to could quite pampering it, so we
were working on changing out bed linens and
stuff in the guest room, some things were a bit
heavy and also there was a lot of bending and stuff
 or else it was the fact, Grammy decided to have 
a lil fun ride in lil darlings new swing. None
of it bothered me at the time, but the next day
was not so much fun!!  lol
A little better today, so am definitely taking
it easy.............

Pictures today are from more fall decorating 
at Cozy Place in 2022.  






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


#1
Thankful and just can't quit praising the Lord because
we know HE saved my Daughter and Son-in-love's lives
from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.  To make a long story
shorter, they were at a LakeHouse and arrived on Tuesday afternoon.... not long after arriving my daughter started not 
feeling so great, feeling queasy, sort of light headed, with a
bit of a headache and just thought maybe it was sinus pressure
from being in the mountains and or just working hard 
unpacking the car and stuff.  So they went to bed and
 woke up and she had a terrible headache and hubby had 
a slight headache. They were suppose to have someone 
come and check out the air conditioning and heating unit 
on Friday....well, the guy came on Wednesday
 morning instead....he found that they had a gas a/c
unit and it had a hole and was leaking gas into the house,
had he not come they might not be here now.
The house even had C02 alarms as well, but they never
went off, and the guy said that most of the time by the 
time they go off, it takes so much for it to register that
most people are either very sick or dead!!
So don't know what you would call that but
 I call that a miracle .........and am so grateful
our Lord was watching out for our kids/His kids,
 just like He always has..........




#2   
Thankful that we found a new family run furniture
store that we went and checked out this week. We 
have been looking for a new sofa for years now, but
just can't find what we are looking for.  Problem
is we have been around long enough to know exactly
what we want and what we don't want!!  lol
We did find the recliner type Sofa, but we would
have to special order it in the fabric we want, problem
is not really crazy about the fabric choices.  lol
But there is one I really like, and think could
work, but it is hard to picture it from a little swath 
of cloth.
So we will see, but that is closer than we have gotten
before now.............lol  


#3
Thankful to have sent more things to the thrift store
this week, as our clean out continues. Already noticed
a difference after the first load, can't wait to see what
it is like after this one.....and there is more to go!!  lol




#4
Thankful we finally found a Sofa and ordered
it......it will be 8-10 weeks before we get it, but
at least we finally feel like we found what we were
looking for..........after we enlarged the parameters
of what we were looking for by necessity.


#5
Thankful to talk to a long time friend this
morning,  he is the husband of my friend who
passed away from cancer almost 2 years ago.
He has remarried and has finally retired
and seems like he is doing well. Happy
for him....as he went through a lot....








#6
Thankful that we have finally finished our quest
bedroom refresh and just in time for our Daughter
 and Son-in-loves visit at Thanksgiving.


#7
Thankful that our Son came and helped us
put up lil darlings new saucer swing (we got
for a great deal from Wayfair, because she 
had outgrown her other one), and he was sweet
to help with a couple of other things that needed
to be moved. Lil darling is gonna be so thrilled 
when she comes on Friday.


Note:  Happy that lil darling loves her swing,
and has been out there 4 times already enjoying it.
 




#8
Thankful he picked up lunch from a bar-be-cue
place we haven't had food from in 4 1/2 yrs.,
since hubby retired,  It was delicious, and
a very nice to have lunch with him.


#9
Thankful that Sam's had one last bag of Sconza 
Chocolate Cashew candy on Sunday. It was like it
 was just waiting for me.  lol  It is such good candy.




#10
Thankful for a tip I happened to see online somewhere
about what to do if you are starting to get a cramp in
your leg..... and it works quite well....
If you feel a cramp coming on point your toes up
towards your knee for about 20 seconds.  It has
worked everytime I've done it.

Just for your info......leg cramps can be caused 
by Dehydration.  Sometimes I forget that!!


#11
Thankful for 2 beautiful new pictures of our
Granddaugher,  One from Halloween, she
went as "Little Red Ridinghood" and the
her 4th grade picture.  Both are lovely.








#12
Thankful that the young lady I mentioned several
times before that had the heart transplant, is finally
out of the hospital and doing very well.  She
celebrated her 25th birthday on Wed. with
family and friends and she is very very grateful
to be alive, as she knows she almost lost her life
not just once, but twice!



Well, that's it for Cozy Place today.

Thanks for stopping by.....

Hope you have a Wonderful West of the Week!!
(As Elmer Fudd would say! )

Love Hugs, and
Early November Blessings,
Nellie

Thankful Thursday October 27, 2022, More Fall decor - our family room



I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he
 has been good to me.
Psalm 13:6



 Welcome to Thankful Thursday
Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and happy.
It has been a much better week here,
my back is not totally back to normal
but way better, so very grateful and
happy about that. Still trying not to
sit a lot!  lol  So it has been a pretty
productive week actually.  Cause
I have tried to think of everything
that I can to stand up!!  lol


Pictures today, are from our Fall
decorating 2022, again!
This time from Hallway, and
family room.





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



#1
Thankful to be enjoying my "use what I had",
 guest bathroom refresh, I did last week, and
a new bathroom freshner, "Vanilla Lavendar"
scent.  It smells and looks so nice,  and I was
able to use some "Beauty Berries" from our
bush outback to bring a lil Fall
 nature indoors.




#2
Thankful for another lovely day with our Sweet
 lil darling. Had some schoolwork but not as
much as normal, for some reason,  so had more
time to play.  She gave me a pedicure, and later
 she turned our living room and dining room
into her restaurant, she got it all set up hoping
for her lil friend next door to be able to come
over and play once she got home from school, but that didn't happen unfortunately.  So once her
Dad came we ate and we played the wii some
and visited some with her Dad.  It was a good
day, I was tired by evening, but it is always
a good tired!






#3
So Thankful and just can't quit Praising the Lord
for a miracle that occurred this week for the 24 yr.
old Granddaughter of a dear childhood friend.
She got Preeclampsia about 6 weeks ago and they
had to deliver her baby early, and the baby is doing great, but her Mom was so impacted by the preeclampsia that she needed a heart transplant.  It is truly a miracle she has been alive all this time.  Last night (Friday) the Lord provided a donor heart, she was in surgery 4 hrs., and is in ICU and doing great. We were already praying for her (Jackie) is her name, but then my friend put a picture of her baby on face book, and after I saw that baby the Lord just put it so on my heart that
I have been praying off and on all day long
every day for that babies Mommy to be healed,
and of course, she had tons of others praying for
her as well, but it was just such a Wonderful
 thing to hear how it turned out.
  She of course, has quite a long recovery I would imagine, at least 6 weeks I would say...but she 
was pretty weak and thin going into the surgery.
So if you feel so led please pray for her continued
recovery.

Note:  Heard from her Grandmother today that
she is up walking the halls and is able to wear
normal clothing, and may be going home by
next Monday.  PTL!!






#4
Thankful my back is much better, still not
quite there yet,  but slowly getting there.


#5
Thankful that Lord willing my Daughter and
 Son-in-love with be able to be here with us, for
 Thanksgiving and Christmas.  So we are very
excited about that.




#6
Thankful for the beauty of the sun streaming in through our trees in the woods out back. Such
a beautiful orange glow -  along with lower
temps. are a reminder that Fall has finally
 arrived here in Florida, even tho it is 59 degrees right now, it will be 77 by  noon, and our high of
 81 by 3 P.M. - but that is our Fall in Florida.


#7
Thankful for an all girl get together on
Sunday afternoon to celebrate one of my
long time friends, Son and wife and their 
recent marriage and to introduce his new
 wife to so many ladies that had  been a
 part of her new hubbies life over the
 years.  It was light hearted and so much
fun and so good to see so many ladies 
that I haven't seen in years.  It's been
awhile since I have been to an all ladies
gathering and it was quite energizing
I must say.........Loved every minute!!
Their Mom did a spectacular job on
 everything from the food to the 
decorations and even a fun gift 
giving idea.  She is and always has 
been a very talented lady.
So Thanks Ann!





#8
Thankful to finally have gotten 
some drawers in our Mastor Bath
vanity cleaned out and organized
again.  Been on my list for awhile
now........lol


#9
Thankful to have restyled some shelves
in a cabinet in our guest bedroom.  
Still making progress lil by lil.






#10
Thankful we got our porch cleaned
finally, after the hurricane, and chairs
cleaned and the porch put back togehter
and it looks great!


#11
Thankful that Cece Winans won 2 dove
awards.  Love her singing! I loved that
 when she won the 2nd award, she didn't say
anything but sang "To God Be the Glory"
in accapello.  One of the songs she won
for was "I believe for it", if you would
like to hear it just type In I believe,
by Cece Winsans in your browser address
bar and they have quite a few videos.
I tried to put one on, so you could just
click on it,  but just couldn't get it to work.
  We see her quite often on the "Better Together"
show we watch on TBN.  She is not only
an awesome singer but just such a
lovely woman of God.






#12
Thankful that I got a treat bag all
done for lil darling today since we want
see her on Halloween, so always give
it to her early.  We will be picking her
up school (thursday) so got to see her
for about 3 hrs.

Scripture Sunday

 


It truly does lead to life.....

It doesn't mean you want have any troubles.....

it just means you won't have the same worrisome

anxious response to troubles, and will  live

a more peaceful and contented life,  if you 

are staying close to the Jesus!


Have a Lovely Day!

Hugs, Nellie

Thankful Thursday October 20, 2022, and More Fall Decor from 2022


Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands.
Psalm 112:1  NIV




Greetings Sweet Friends,

How are you today?  Hope you are 
feeling great and are happy and healthy.
I am happy to report that as of yester-
day I am feeling so much better not
completely there yet, but almost!!



Pictures  today are of more Fall decorating for 2022.  These pics Still in the living room area!





# 1 

Thankful for several long conversations

with my lovely Daughter this week.

They had a flood in their office so

she was off work all week.



#2 and 3

Thankful that we decided we liked the mirror

we got last week for our guest bedroom, so we

got her hung, then restyled the dresser top,

 and we both really like how it came out.

So thankful for another few steps on our

guest bedroom, and reasons to have to

stand up doing something as my back is

still giving me trouble, and sitting just

makes it way worse.



#4

Thankful for all I got done today inspite

of my back.  I do okay as long as I am

standing up!  


#5

Thankful that Friday was Dee and Jerry's

11th Anniversary.  They are so good

together and had a nice time.





#6

Thankful for our first pot of Beef Stew

for the season.  Always love it....

and other one pot meals too.


#7 

Thankful that I was feeling well enough

to go to church yesterday, and out to lunch

with our friends, and later to the grocery

store.  Afraid I might have overdone it

tho.....cause today is Monday and not doing

so great with my back again.






#8

Thankful for my hubby and how he takes

care of me.  On Monday we decided that

maybe I just needed to lay down instead

of sitting,  So I did that when I wasn't

standing or walking around.  At least

it did relieve the pain, but got up in

hopes that would be the end of it, but

nope......so just took some Alleve Back

and muscle pills, my Daughter told

me about so, will see how that goes.

It has been a long 8 1/2 days, I have

to say.......


#9

Thankful that our local Publix Super

market has a Seasonal Sub that is

really delicious.  It has Turkey and

Cranberry sauce and bacon and

cheese (not a cheese that taste real

cheesy. We had them last year and

were glad to see they are back again,

just as delicious as last years.




#10

Thankful that my back is somewhat

better, and I am trying to pamper

it and not overdue again, so trying

 to lay down rather than sit down

 and stand as much as possible, 

so decided it was a good time to 

refresh my guest bathroom.


#11

Thankful to not feel like hollering

or hollering every time I get up 

from a sitting position.  lol  






#12

Thankful for the Beautiful view I had

this morning......a large group of beautiful

white Ibis birds having breakfast on our

front lawn. There was probably 30+

of them.  They come at times but it

has been quite awhile since we have

seen that many at once.  Lovely sight!

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

Well, that's it for Cozy Place this

week.  This has been the

"Threw my Back Out" 

Edition.   lol


Thanks for coming by.....

and

Have a delightful rest of the week.


Love, Hugs and nearing the end

of October Blessings,

Nellie
