{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

Easter Tablescape & Cheap Dishes

I love Easter and all that it stands for! I love the pretty decorations...the bunnies, chicks and eggs. I love the fact that Jesus died on a Cross for my sin and arose on the 3rd day! WOW! Lot of things to love about Easter! And....I love my Easter tablescape!



I do adore bunnies. Would like to have some REAL ones...but the DH said, "Too much upkeep". Ugg....

These dishes are simple but yet lovely! Especially when I found these at a yard sale for $10...and I got two sets of these (16) of each item for $10....Since that time I have found more of these dishes along with serving platters, serving bowls and etc.! I probably have enough of this pattern to serve 20 people!!!!




 Decided to use my gravy boat to hold my sweet n' low.



 I just adore my little basket.

 Found these adorable glass eggs at a KNIFE place in Tn. You never know what you will find! 



Love my bunny teapot. A friend gave that to me years ago for Easter. I've had the clear goblits for years. Actually bought those at Dollar General for $1.00 each.



Notice the green coaster my goblit is sitting on?


It is actually a tile....like the kind you purchase to create a backsplash...I saw these and for 25 cents each I thought...How cute to use as coasters!




Awe...my little bunny trinket box...




The wooden napkins rings came from Walgreen's...     2 for $1.00. The pretty napkins which the picture doesn't do them justice came from Little Dolly's in Tn. The bambo silverware came from Walgreen's as well and they were a mere 4 for $1.00. So I got a set of cheap and cute bambo silverware for $6.00 If it only last one season then I've got my monies worth!




The adorable little cross has the words REJOICE on them. I found these at Wal-mart for $1.00 each. Put one at each place setting. 




Another adorable bunny that holds a candle sitting on a framed piece of glass.




The green runner was actually a curtain valance I found in the discount aisle at Walmart for $3.




The silver chargers came from Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each.

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
