{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

It's Nifty Thrifty Tuesday!!!

Oh I love me a deal....and Linda at Coastal Charm http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com 
always gets a deal! Go check her out and the other lovely ladies that post about their nifty thrifty deals! I will begin by sharing my cute little garden clock.....the cutest for $1.
 Oh my friend Sharyl over at http://thelittlebrownhouse.us/ is going to want my clock! She loves her some clocks! Matter of fact it is her fault I can't even walk into a Thrift store without looking  at the clocks! 


Then I found this cute little bowl for 99 cents. Now, I realize it doesn't look much but you just wait till I slap a glass candle stick underneath it with my liquid nail! 
I really love this wire basket. It was $1.99 and I almost did not buy it. But I loved the detail on it and my first thought was this would be such a cute gift with all sorts of goodies inside!
I thought this little vase was just a cutie for 50 cents. 
Found this silver 3-plate snacky thing and knew I had to have it for $1.99.
Found some more white plates. Got them for $1 each. But as so many of you have said, "You can't go wrong with white plates". I have a friend that says that about black pants. She says if you have at least one pair of black pants you are good to go! Well, if you have a few white dishes....anything goes! 
I wish I could have found more like this because I do like that basket weave pattern. 
This glass platter is one of my favorite patterns. I have a lot of this type pattern dishes. Have no clue what the real name of this is and if you know please share with me....but I have always called it the Star of David dishes...Just looks like that to me. But love this pattern. Found this lovely platter for $5.
And do I ever love me some snack plates. I have tons of them...This particular pattern I had a small set of and gave away as a gift a few years ago. Just happen to see 7 of these white milk glass snack plates for $2 each and I knew I might as well get them cause I would be mad at myself If I didn't. Ha! The cups I bought to use with them were 50 cents each. Now they aren't the cups that really go with this but....they matched pretty dad-burn good to me! 
7 plates and 7 cups! 

Don;t you just love these lovely napkins? 12 in pack for $3.

And on my way home decided to stop at Bealls Outlet....Found these adorable rose shower curtain rings on the clearance aisle. They were $6.99 and got them for $3.50. 

And my intentions aren't using them for a shower curtain.....I am going to use them for napkins rings! Love them!
I hope you have enjoyed your Tuesday with me. Be sure to go by and visit Linda over at Coastal Charm. She is such a delightful and a sweet lady. http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget
