Thankful Thursday April 4, 2024, and Our Easter Table


For God is the King of all the earth;
 sing to him a psalm of praise.

Psalm 47:7 NIV



Greetings Sweet Friends

and

Welcome to April......

Amazing to me that we are a quarter of the way thru the year already.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter with your family/and or friends. Ours was good and enjoyable as always. 

We did miss having Dee and Jerry here though,

but that's just life when your kids grow up!

You have to learn to be very flexible.....




Pictures today are of our Easter Table

this year.  We started off with this colorful

Spring tablecloth our Daughter gave me

some years back.  I love all the colors, and

it makes it quite versatile as well.




On with my Thankfuls.........


#1

Thankful our kids got here and back home

 safe and sound.


#2

Thankful that we all got to go out to dinner together on Thursday evening

to celebrate my 72nd birthday, and had Raspberry

elegance cake from Publix for our dessert.

A quick but fun evening!!




#3

Thankful to celebrate my actual birthday the next day, and got to see them till noon on my birthday.  


#4

Thankful to see most of my favorite people on

my birthday. Which is always a blessing.




#5

Thankful for all the lovely cards and gifts I received and the great breakfast from Dunkin Donuts, and all the facebook messages as well.


#6

Thankful our Easter table is all set and ready, 

and some of the food already prepared.



#7
Thankful for a really lovely Easter Service

at church and seeing all our friends and

church family.


#8

Thankful for an good and pleasant time spent

 with family, and an enjoyable and lovely Easter

dinner. Unfortunately, our Daughter and

 Son-in-love had to travel home to be at work

the next day, so didn't get to stay. When they 

made the plans and asked off for the celebration 

for his Dad's 70th Birthday they didn't realize

 Easter was that weekend.  Think it sort of

 sneaked up on all of us this year.  lol 




#9

Thankful for a good day schooling with lil

darling today.............


#10

Thankful that Meritstreet.com finally got started today April 2, 2024.  It is a whole new network put out by Dr. Phil McGraw and Trinity Broadcasting network to hopefully bring some much needed education and hopefully changes to our world.  Just saw their news show, and what a breathe of fresh air.  If you go to Meritstreet.com, then press the chanel finder button, it was let you put in your zip code and tell you what chanel to find it on.  If you have Roku go Roku then to Merit+. Not sure about all the programming yet, but we know Dr. Phil always tells it like it is.........


Note: After watching Dr. Phils show, a few

 times now, as I haven't seen his show in years,

 I am having a few reservations about it......

not huge,  but make up your own mind.

The Morning show and the News are very

good, and I like those. Time will tell....





#11

Thankful that hubby got his cyst removed

today, and things went well,  it was pretty

large, so he has about a 3" incision. So far,

he is feeling okay, but the numbness has

not completely worn off yet, so gave him

some Alleve ahead of time, cause I am

sure it will be sore soon.


#12

Thankful hubby is continuing to do well,

even after we changed the initial dressing,

everything feels and looks great.







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


Well, that is our week at Cozy Place.


Thanks for making us a part of your day

and

Have a wonderful weekend,


Love, Hugs, and

Post Easter Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday March 28, 2024, and Easter Decorating for 2024

 

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


Early Easter Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you have a lovely Spring day,
and preparing for your Easter/ Resurrection
Celebration. That has been our week, and
today we are excited because our Daughter,
Son-in-love and furry Grandson dog are
coming in this afternoon and will be here until 
tomorrow, then they are going to his parents to
 celebrate his Dad's 70th birthday.


Pictures today are of our family room all gussied
up for Easter.  My family all know Easter is all
 about
Jesus and His Resurrection from the Dead
but the lil girl in me loves bunnies and Easter eggs,
because they are just so cute, colorful and fun I 
can't resist them!!  lol






#1
Thankful for our Governor Ron DeSantis.
He is such a wonderful Governor, and can hardly
stand the thought of when his time in office is over!


#2

Thankful that I am not as sore as I was this time
last week, after my Fall........but I am still recovering
and finding bruises and soreness in other areas.
I found a bruise on my forehead which I was surprised
by, as I didn't really think I hit the top of my head
 that hard. Funny how the places that are
injured and hurt the most get all the attention and
when they start to lessen in pain and swelling
you start noticing the lesser ones and finding bruises
you didn't know you had.  lol
But I am definitely feeling better and on the mend,
but it's just taking longer than I would expect.



#3

Thankful that I found some new sandals that were

just what I needed to replace the ones I got rid of

that I feel helped me take 2 falls in the last month.


#4

Thankful for a guy friend of ours that came to vist

over the weekend.  We have known each other for

over 50 years.  He used to work with my hubby

and we met he and his (former) wife when we were

in our early 20's.  It was great to see him again.

One of those friends you kinda picked up where

you left off,  which is always nice.





#5

Thankful that my hubby is so sweet to do all our

vacuuming for years now because I have a pinched

nerve that isn't painful unless I do something to inflame 

it.  I am good for about 1 room, but more than that

causes me problems,


#6

Thankful that Easter dinner is all planned and

we went and got our ham and candies and stuff

and ordered a cake.





#7

Thankful I have all our cards and candies ready 

and lil darlings Easter basket ahead of time.



#8

Thankful I have our table planned, so when it comes

 time to set it It should go together quickly.





#9

Thankful that I found a quick and easy recipe

for "Chicken Cacciatore" and made it .  It has

been 40+ years since I have made it.  Why?

I have no idea, because it is so good, and

really not hard to make.




#10

Thankful that I remembered all the thankfuls

I had listed but this one.  I had my blog all ready

to post early this morning, but decided to change the

font (which I have done a gillion times) and it 

completely wiped out everything. Why?  I have

no idea.................lol





#11

Thankful that the Drs. office called and moved hubbies

cyst removal surgery to next week. We really did not

want to do it today, since the kids are coming, but it

was all the opening they had at the time.  So we are

very happy about that......and it is only delayed

until next Tuesday, so that was good too.


#12

Thankful maybe last, but definitely not least

is for Jesus and his Resurrection from the Dead

and the gift of eternal life that He has given to

us, and the wonderful changes to our life that He

has made over the years, which have only made our

lives better,  and for the Spiritual Blessings He 

has given to us as well, like Love, Joy, Peace, 

Patience etc.  What a gift and Friend we

have in Jesus.



Well, That's it for Cozy Place Today


Thanks for hopping by...........

and

Hope you and yours have a

 Delightful and Meaningful Easter

 with your family and or friends




Love, Hugs and 

Happy Easter Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday, March 21, 2024, and Easter Table from the past

Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praise

 to his name, for that is pleasant.

Psalm 135:3 NIV

Happy Thursday Sweeties,

Welcome to Thankful Thursday,

Hope this finds you enjoying Spring at your house.

I have finally finished my Spring decorating and

now just able to enjoy it all.  Been another busier

than usual week here, and expect it will be this way

until April.............so looking forward to April!!  lol




Pictures today are from an Easter Table back in 2011

here at Cozy Place.  I figured if you are like me you are looking

for table ideas now, especially since Easter is so early this year.

If you would like more detailed instructions or to see

more pictures you can go Here.






On with my Thankfuls...............




#1

Thankful all our Winter decor is packed away for another year,

and that I have all my Spring/Easter things unpacked now.


#2

Thankful for our neighbors and their huge, gorgeous, Fucshia

colored Azalea bush.  We get to enjoy them every Spring,

and it is such a delight to look out our front windows and see them.

They are starting to fade now.......sad to see them go!!




#3

Thankful that hubby had another Dr. visit this week, to see

about having a cataract removed.  It took us 2 months just to

get an appt. and they are gonna call us in the next few weeks

to set the appt. to have it removed.  That is a first.....


#4

Thankful that our Son-in-love had some tests done as he

was experiencing some painful symptoms, and all the tests came 

back fine and he is feeling better as well.




#5

Thankful for the "Better Together" Show on TBN.

We love watching it, and I almost always take something

away from there that is helpful to me. They have a lot of 

really wonderful ladies on there.  You can also find it online

at Better Together.com.  or .BetterTogether.TV


#6

Thankful we have the ability to go to church freely without

any obstructions or problems. Always good to be in the

house of our Lord.




#7

Thankful we have a home, a car, food in the pantry and fridge,

a comfy bed to sleep in, and clothing to wear, and running

water and Air Conditioning. We are beyond blessed.


#8

Thankful for the last 2 beautiful sunny but hot days.

Just gorgeous out............

Thankful we have another cool front coming through

 that will take us back into the 70"s.




#9

Thankful I have most of my Spring/Easter

decorating done.  Hoping to finish in the next

day or so.    


#10

Thankful I am finally finished decorating and

tweaking....was in the mood for more tweaking but

just had to quit, gotta get everything put away

and get the guest bedroom cleaned up since that

is where stuff was stashed.........company coming

Friday.....




#11

Thankful we are having a sleep over with lil

darling Tonight,  it has been awhile, so looking forward

 to it.


#12

Thankful that once again the Lord protected me from

being badly hurt. I tripped over something (that I was

gonna remove but just hadn't done yet) while preparing

 the guest room.  Completely forgot it was there, and

my sandal caught it and I fell face down but on carpeting,

 Praise the Lord. I am a lil bruised and sore but

nothing broken, and I am amazed my glasses didn't

get broken or at least scratched.  I am getting rid

of these Clarke Sandals I bought not to long ago,

as they are just to clunky and wide for me, and I 

really think that was the cause of both falls.




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


Happy you are here

and

Have a Beautiful Rest of the Week,



Love, Hugs and

Mid March Blessings,

Nellie
