{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

Red Lights And Stop Signs!

There isn't anything any worse at times than to be running late, in a hurry and you get STOPPED by a red light. Or, we are just about to make it on time but here we drive up to that STOP SIGN.  URR!  I don't know about you but I need some Stop Signs and Red Lights in my day at times. If I am not working outside the home I am working inside the home and just need a break from doing things...Regardless of whether I am answering the phone on my job or sitting for hours at my sewing machine. We all are busy people! I don't know anyone that isn't busy! Our busy schedules need to interrupted with a little leisure or time of reflection. 


Sometimes we just merely need to STOP and breathe! 


Take a minute out for yourself and away from the busyness of life....




There are two ways of making it through our busy life. One way is to STOP thinking....the 2nd one is to STOP and think! Many of us live the first way! We tend to fill every hour with activity. 

Let us Stop and think about what is important in our life and if being so busy being busy is really necessary. Look at the interruptions in your life as maybe the Lord nudging at you to STOP and rest in Him a moment. Or to STOP and reflect on His goodness. 
STOP, and enjoy a cup of tea or cup of coffee and say, "This is the day the Lord has made; lets be glad and rejoice in it". Psalm 118:24
 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. I have the distinct pleasure and blessing of going to our son and DIL's house 3 mornings a week to dress our 4 year-old granddaughter and take her to preschool. Most mornings I say, "This is the day..." to her, as one more way to teach her early to be grateful and thankful and aware of our many blessings. Thank you for this nice post. ~Zuni

  6. Talk about getting stopped at red lights....We really should be grateful for the interruptions we have in life at times. They may very well be a God interruption! And yes, I needed a reminder to slow down a bit! Thanks Miss Cindy. Kasey

  7. To your Bible verse I say, "Amen and Amen".
    This the day which the Lord made and we should try to make the best of it we can.
    Thanks for the reminder and for visiting my blog.
    It's nice to meet you!

  8. Cindy, I love your pink rose tea cups! They look so lovely in a stack. Even better, the photos of your beautiful daughters and grandchildren. You truly are a blessed woman. You also have great looking sons, or son-in-laws. I get it about your post. Stop and think. Life can change in an instant. We need to get right with God. We had a wonderful crusade at our church the past five nights, and over 200 people came forward to accept Christ. The crusade was by the Power Team.
    Hugs, Beth

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
