Have a Beautiful Sunday,

Hugs, Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 16, 2026, and Spring Flowers

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
Romans 14:19 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

How's You this beautiful day??

We are basking in something that

has taken 7 weeks to get a final

approval for, and are singing the

Halleleujah Chorus Finally!

Read about it in #12

Hope you are enjoying your Spring

Season.  We are as much as we

can with all the tumult we have

been experiencing of late.  lol

Thought you might enjoy some

pretty flowers today. So. . . . . .

Pictures today are of Spring flowers 

compliments of Pixabay. Some I

 know the names of some, I don't.  lol

I believe the header picture is a

 Ranunculi or Ranunculis, She's

a beauty for sure.

Tulips

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful we were able to talk with

an attorney and get some possibly

much needed information.

#2

Thankful I was able to go to church on

 Sunday even if it was for only half the

 service.  It felt great to be there, I count

 it as progress, and a taste of things

 hoped for............

Dogwood

#3

Thankful for the nursing/ rehab 

center where Susan is, she says

 how nice everyone is, and she really

 likes the food, which is great.

#4

Thankful for an HGTV show called

"Home Town" with Ben and Erin.

We just love their show, and they

seem like the sweetest folks.  Would

love to meet them..........lol

#5

Thankful to see one of our brown

bunnies out today having a late

breakfast.  lol

#6

Thankful that the last 3 nights we

have both slept well.  We have had

 some restless nights grappling with

things going on with Susan and 

what we hope isn't coming.

                         Daisies

#7

Thankful for Leslie Sansone videos that

I can pull up on U-tube, and that I am

able to do more proficiently all the time.

#8

Thankful that I have also discovered

some other videos on U-tube, that I 

never knew existed that have to do 

with decorating, So am enjoying some

 of those at times too.

Daffodils

#9

Thankful that because of a decision Susan

made today, my husband didn't have to

make it.  She has decided to go into 

comfort care because she is exhausted

and does not want to do rehab any 

longer.  Of Course, we feel bad about

it, but if given her situation, we would

probably do the same, and we are 

happy she was the one to make that

decision for herself.  She knows the

Lord and know her final destination,

Is heaven.... which we are all 

very grateful for...

 #10

Thankful for a long chat with my

sweet Daughter yesterday and today.....

one of the joys of my life.

?

#11

Thankful for the feel and smell of

clean sheets on my bed. such a pleasure.

#12

Thankful that hubby finally got the

final approval to be able to write

Susan's bills out of her checking acct.

She drew up a Durable Power of attorney

 many years ago, and because it is so old

 the bank would not except it, so you would

not believe all the hoops he has had to

jump through and all the trips to the

bank (9) and all the phone calls and

waiting, not to mention the stress.

So we are rejoicing over another long

awaited answer to prayer, about 

7 weeks now.

Thank You Jesus!

 Have a Blessed Sunday

Thankful Thursday April 12, 2026, and random pictures from last week at Cozy Place

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

2 Peter 1:2 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a Wonderful Easter Celebration,

with your family and/or friends

We really did, it was just a day earlier as our SC

kids had to leave early on Sunday to be home

for work the next day. 

Today pictures are just random shots from

this week.  I forgot to take a pic of our

Easter table,  so just put together one place

setting so you could sorta see what it looked

like, and other pics are from my birthday.

Just happened on these beautiful paper plates

months ago, and was sooo glad I got them

when I did......cause had no idea at the time

all that would be going on in our life.

                 

                  So on with my                                                          thankfuls......

                                                                                    

#1

Thankful for Jesus as he is the reason we 

celebrate Easter, and thankful that Jesus

 was willing to go to the cross and die for

my sins, so that I could have a life filled

 with His goodness, and know I am gonna

 be spending eternity with him. The Bible

 says, "to be absent from the body is to

 be with the Lord"  (2 Corinthians 5:8)

I love that........and I love Jesus

#2

Thankful that our kids got back home safe 

and sound on Sunday. Always sad to say

good bye until next time, but makes it easier

if we know when we are gonna hopefully

see each other again, and this time we do.

Flowers from my friend Becky

#3 and 4

Thankful for my belated birthday celebration

with the family, and for the delicious

 "White chocolate Raspberry Bundt cake,

that Dee had sent to me on my birthday

but didn't come until the next day.  So we

just left it packaged and put it in the frig

and opened it on my belated birthday,

and it was sooo delicious, we all really

enjoyed it, had it 2 nights in a row, and

 there was none leftover. lol

#5

Thankful for 3 wonderful days of being

together with our family.  We had so much

 fun, talking, joking, preparing food, eating, 

card playing, watching "Neighborhood watch"

 and laughing our heads off. We all totally

enjoyed it.....were we tired afterwards?

Yes, but it was a good and sweet tired!!

#6

Thankful for all the beautiful cards and

gifts they showered me with....

Pink Calla Lilies from hubby

#7

Thankful that they were able to rescue

those 2 airmen that had to eject in Iran.

Loved what his message was

God is Good!!  

#8

Thankful that our friends were able to

get through Easter Sunday Service. He is

 a Pastor and they did not get a wink of 

sleep on Sat. night, and he had a horrible

headache and even lost his voice, but was

amazingly still able to preach.

#9

Thankful that we decided to have a Taco

Night while the kids were here.  Hubby got

this cilantro lime marinated chicken at

Aldi's that we had before and it was so

delicious, but never had it on Tacos, well,

it was a hit.  We just made a Taco bar

with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, scallions,

black olives, cilantro, sour cream and

guacamole. We take a large flour tortillo

and put it on a plate then add some cheese

 on it, then break a corn taco in half on top

 and microwave it for about 20 seconds,

 then stuff that baby to overflowing, it was

 a huge hit with everyone. This might just

become a tradition every time we get

together now.  lol

Isn't this an adorable mug, inside

the rim it as says "Some bunny loves you"

from my Daughter. So cute!

#10

Thankful that we finally started getting

Susan's mail today. That is a huge answer

to prayer, as hubby has been to the Post

office at least 3 times, and has gotten

info thru the mail saying that the for-

warding is approved and still nothing 

came, until today.  Took about 5 weeks.

We can get our mail stopped when we

go away in a day.  lol  

#11

Thankful we are seeing new buds on "Gorgeous

and "Beautiful".  Beautiful has a new leaf.

They are the  " White Wedding hydrangeas" 

we ordered and planted last year at this time.

Was sort of worried about them, as we had

a pretty severe Winter for us, this year and

 since they were sort of the new girls in town,

 we were concerned if they would make it or not.

But they are looking promising. So excited to

 see how they do in the week to come.

Anthurium Plant from my Son and lil darling 

#12

Thankful that I was sufficiently flowered.  lol

Everyone who knows me,  knows I love flowers.

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

Happy you could come by 

and

Hope you have a lovely week

Oh... and Happy April to you!.....

  it sorta sneaked up on us..........

Nellie

from friends and my birthday is not till

#2

Thankful my Sister-in-law Susan is still 

in good spirits and looking better all the

 time, since she is eating well, unfortunately,

 not much progress with her legs.

#3

Thankful, so thankful that I and those

I love were born and raised in America with traditional values.

My heart breaks for those across the world

who were not, and are suffering so under

these terribly brutal regimes, and it truly

prompts me to pray for them often.

#4

Thankful that I have our Easter table 

  almost planned, but still working on the

centerpiece. lol

Thankful for small changes like trading

lamps from one room to another that

just gives us something new to look at

without having to buy something new.

lil darling play volleyball again this

Saturday with our Son, then they

Thankful for a quiet, yet lovely 74th

birthday.  Hubby made me a lovely

breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and

orange rolls,  with a very sweet card,

got lots of phone calls and texts, and

lovely meaningful birthday cards and

 tons of facebook wishes, and a very special

FB post from my Daughter.  You all make

 me feel so loved and like a celebrity, 

and....

we are still celebrating on Thursday

 when the whole family can be here. 

 Whoo Hoo!

That all makes me one Happy Girl...

#10

Thankful for the beautiful bundt cake

our Daughter sent me on my birthday,

unfortunately,  it didn't get delivered

until the next day, but it is a beauty

and can't wait to have some.  It is 

white chocolate raspberry cake.  YUM!!

#11

Thankful to get a phone call from a

dear friend of 55 years.  She is 78, 

but it was a bit sad too,  as she is 

battling cancer of the liver, and she

has been thru chemo, immuno therapy

and just finished radiation, and she

goes to get the results tomorrow,

Sooo, praying for good results...

She is such a wonderful, fun loving,

sweet and comedic friend, and she

has the best sense of humor, but she

 lives in Ala., so been quite a while since

we have seen each other.

I met her not long before I married

hubby.  She and I worked together

and she and her hubby attended 

our Wedding 55 yrs. ago 

#12

Thankful that even tho Susan slid out

of her wheelchair,  she did not hurt

herself.   So grateful for that!!

Well.......that's it for Cozy Place
