Thankful Thursday April 13, 2023, More Spring Decorating in the Dining room

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

 In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living

 hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Peter 1:3 NIV

                                                                        

                                     Greetings Sweet Friends,

                                  

          Hope you and yours had a lovely 

        Easter celebrating with your family 

       and/or friends.  We had a great time.

       and it's been a good week here.  We  

       have gotten quite a bit of rain, which  

       was definitely needed, nice to see our

            Yard looking so much greener!

            Pictures today are of more 

                   Spring Decorating in

Cozy Place Dining Room.

    Now....On with my Thankfuls

#1

Thankful for a fun day and night

out.  Went to see the "Journey"

movie in the late afternoon, then

to Sams and Wally World to get

things we need for Easter Dinner.

Then out to dinner at Longhorns.

The scenery in the movie was

incredibly beautiful!!  As was

some of the music,  I am not

too into opera....lol

  #2

Thankful for Benadryl cream....lil darling 

had to leave school early because she broke

out with some sort of itchy rash in several

places, so on the way to school her Mom

picked up some Bendadryl cream and it 

cleared it right up.....such a quick fix.    

                     

 

#3

Thankful to have lil darling today.

        We are schooling but having fun too,

when we take breaks.  

#4

Thankful that our Daughter and Son-

in-love got  more good news about 

the situation they have been going

through, and we think it will all

be over within the next few weeks

hopefully.  We will all be singing

the Halleleujah chorus for sure.

#5

Thankful for some very useful info

that we have learned this passed week.

That you can have all your credit bureaus

(Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union)

frozen, so they can not give out info

to anyone checking your credit info.

It is a great defense against identity

theft, and you can have them unfreeze

it anytime within a day or so, and it

does not affect your use of your

credit card. You can unfreeze it and 

then have them freeze it again from

what we understand. Thought this 

was great info to pass on.........

as we have done it and our other 

family members are doing it too. 

 Should you decide you would like

to do that be sure to check it out for 

yourself and ask all the pertinent 

questions so that you can be assured

 it would work for you. Just in case

we have misunderstood something,

altho, I don't think we have, but

you never know these days!

NOTE: We did find out we have to

 do it both for husband and wife 

if you have a joint account. So it's

was more time consuming since we  didn't know and had to do it twice.

Telling you just so you know to

do it all at once. Cause you have

to do it thru the automated

system, which is quite annoying

and confusing.......lol

#6

Thankful for a great time with the

family celebrating Easter.  Good

Vittles, Good Games and thankful

hearts for all our Savior has done

for us.  We always miss our

 Daughter and Son-in-love tho.

#7

Thankful for a beautiful Easter Service

and then lunch after at Carrabbas

just hubby and me, since we had

the family over on Saturday.

and Now for a nap.

#8

Thankful for Easter candies, jelly beans, malted milk balls, M&M's Plain and Peanut, they are not only yummy they are just the prettiest colors for Easter.

#9

Thankful most of all that we serve

 a Saviour who died and rose from

the dead, or we would have no reason 

for faith or hope at all....

But He Has Risen!!

#10

Thankful for new things we learn.

I just recently read somewhere about

the correct way to peel a banana, but

forgot to try it, then I was making a

smoothie while on the phone with

my Daughter recently, she told me

 about it and said it works, so I tried 

it and it works great.  They say it's

 the way monkeys peel banana's rather

 than peeling from the stem, peel from

 the bottom up and most all the strings

come off at the same time.  Cool!

Who says an old dog can't learn new

 tricks, as the old saying goes!! lol

The only thing I did in the kitchen this year!

#11

Thankful for a wonderful dish

called "Beef Stroganoff", I was

introduced to it when I was 18

years old by my Mother-in-law

to be. It is my hubbies all time

favorite dish.  I made it for his

birthday but we only got to have

it once, as we gave it away as we

left for my Daughters the next day. 

 So had leftover London Broil 

from Easter, so guess what we

 made.  lol  Don't think I have

 ever shared it on my blog, 

so will have to do that soon.

#12

Thankful that hopefully we have turned

a corner on what we think is a spider

bite on hubbies lower back. We have

been dressing it and using triple anti-

biotic cream and manuka honey. It

is looking like most of the infection

is clearing up now, and the area 

seems to be getting smaller, both

good signs...........

Also, thankful it has not been very

painful for him.

That's  All  Folks............

Hope you have a Wonderful

rest of the week.

Thanks for coming by

Love, Hugs,

and Mid April Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 6, 2023, and Spring at our House

 

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; 

his love endures forever.

Psalm 107:1 NIV

Good Morning, Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well, and

hopefully getting ready for Easter.

That has certainly been a part of

our week, and will continue to be

until Sunday.

Picture today are from Cozy Place............

and what I was doing all last week.  lol

So late on my Spring/Easter decor

this year, but better late than never,

as the old saying goes....We look like

bunny heaven....I definitely know that

Easter is all about celebrating what Jesus 

did for us on the cross, and His rising

 from the dead, to give us eternal life,

Praise His Name!

and not about Bunnies and Eggs but 

that lil girl in me just loves how

cute they and they make my 

heart happy!!

Do you have a favorite thing or things

you like to use for spring decorating

 that makes your heart happy??

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful for a fun night out with hubby,

had to take some things back that didn't fit,

and bought a couple of others that are hopefuls.

Then out to dinner to celebrate my birthday

to Red Robins.  We had never been there

before, so that was fun to go somewhere

new,  we wound up getting fish and chips

and it is a gourmet Hamburger place.

Next time we will get a Hamburger.  lol

#2

Thankful I have gotten a lot of decorating 

done in the last few days, will be happy

to finish up hopefully tomorrow.

A view with the lights out.

Couldn't get a complete shot of the fireplace

cause our treadmill was in the way.  LoL

So here's the hearth!

#3

Thankful for a birthday present that showed

up 2 days late that made my heart sing.

I had seen these hot pink pumps that just

ran away with my heart but didn't want to

spend so much when I wasn't sure if I had

something to wear them with. Sometimes

I am just too practical for my own good. lol

  They just kept following me everywhere when

 I would go online too.  Anyway it happened

when I was at my Daughters house too.

So she got them for me for my birthday

 and at a much better price!!  and I was 

just so surprised!!  Just love them!

Wore them on Sunday and felt like

clicking my heels together and saying

Auntie Em, Auntie Em......lol

#4

Thankful for something I read on some

ones blog on Friday.  It is an excerpt

from a book called "Micro Joys" 

or something like that.  

Very Interesting and I feel very true.

#5

Thankful for a sweet find in my kitchen sink.

It was my first micro Joy after reading

that excerpt from the book I mentioned

above. It was a twig  that looked like a cross 

and I have no idea how it got there, but it 

was a sweet reminder that my Lord is near.

#6

Thankful that I am finished decorating

for Spring.  Might make a few tweaks

here and there but pretty much done

done done........Can you hear me

singing the Halleleujah chorus.  lol

Not that I didn' t enjoy it, but I was

so behind just happy to be getting

caught up.........lol

#7

Thankful that I can now move on to

others things that need my attention.

#8

Thankful for the lovely birthday card 

from my Daughter.  It was later than

expected but cool that it came late

because it was like a gift in and of itself. 

#9

Thankful for a good day at church,

and a nice lunch with my Hubby, Son

 and Granddaughter, at a new Mexican

restaurant we have been wanting to try,

and then home for a lovely Raspberry 

Elegance cake from Publix for dessert 

and my Sil Susan joined us. 

 We played some Charades and Wii bowling.

 Had a great time and got the most precious 

card from my Son and Granddaughter.

Great Day!!

So I wound up having like a 5 days

of birthday celebration.  

#10

Thankful for our churches Easter 

program Sunday night, and having

some new friends over for cake

and coffee. Great Evening!!

#11

Thankful that we think we have

caught some situations that are

looking like identity theft possibly.

We have fraud protection, and they

have let us know everyday, for about

5 days now that someone is inquiring 

on us at the credit bureau. Think they

are trying to get a credit card. So

they put a fraud alert on it, but that

didn't stop it, so they said we can

freeze our acct. So we have frozen

it now so they hopefully can't give

 out any information. This is really

a great safe guard for anyone!

We never knew it existed before now.

This lil lamb has been around since lil darling

was born, "It plays this lil light of mine" in

a childs voice and it's ears wiggle and used

to clap it's hands too.  So cute.

#12

Thankful that I have figured out

our Easter dinner menu, I am going

for Easy this year, cause I am just

worn out......Decided on London Broil

on the grill, Mashed Sweet Potatoes

(with sour cream in them), and my

rendition of a BH&G's Succotash

Salad which is delicious and different.

See the recipe here if you'd like.

 Easter table is  now in progress.....

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

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

Thanks for coming by 

and 

We wish you and yours 

The Most Wonderful

 Easter Celebration.

Love, Hugs and 

Easter Blessings,

Nellie

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.....

#1

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.

#2

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

#3

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.

#4

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.

#5

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

#6

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........

#7

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!!

#8

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.

#9

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.

#10

Thankful for so many who called, 

texted and sent facebook messages and

 gifts to wish me a Happy 71st birthday.

I feel very loved and blessed.

Note: Will have a family celebration

on Sunday.  Looking forward to it.

#11

Thankful that all the Winter/Christmas

decoration are all packed away for

another year.
