{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

THANKFUL THURSDAY

Once again we have so much to be thankful for. With each reading of the book "One Thousand Gifts" I am finding myself so short on the simple things in life that I need to be thankful for. God is using this book to show me the MANY, MANY things I have to be so thankful for.

Though I am "ALWAYS" thankful for my family I must say that these four little grands give me all the more reason to be thankful for LIFE!  



I am thankful for being able to watch family gather together on Easter Sunday and the little ones and the grown ones hunt for eggs....oh do we take these little times for granite.

Thankful to watch the children play.


THANKFUL To see the face of my oldest granddaughter as she opens her birthday gift only to find that she has her very on sewing machine!


Thankful to be able to have a little Princess party for all these little girls and listen to their giggles and see the smiles on their faces.



Thankful that God gave has given me the opportunity to witness the birth of all 4 of my grandchildren. This one is my the 4th! Hope to have more one day!


Thankful for my one and only grandson that got to play basketball this season with this YMCA! So much fun watching him! And...he was one good little basketball player too! (not that I am be partial or anything)


Thankful for my lovely three daughters! (in which the one on the right is back to being blond) (YEAH)
Cannot imagine what I would do without them! During the teenage years I often wondered what I was going to do with them!!!Even with the cost of clothes, makeup, hair, proms, weddings and etc.....I am so THANKFUL God blessed me with daughters!


Thankful for my nephew that will graduating from High School this Friday night. So proud of him and the young man that he has become.


Thankful for a fatherinlove and motherinlove that is a perfect example of what TRUE LOVE is! Not just to one another but to their family as well. A couple that has nurtured parenting, grand-parenting and now-great-grand-parenting with love, truth, fun and joy! These two have been the perfect example of what FAMILY is. Some would call them THE IN-LAWS....I call them a BLESSING!


I have so much to be thankful for. What about you?

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  6. What a blessing to have witnessed the births of your GRANDbabies. That was the plan for me, too...but our daughter had to have C-sections with each of hers so I didn't get to go into surgery with her because she had to be put to sleep. She has rods in her back due to scoliosis and couldn't have an epidural. Love all your thankful for!!!

  12. Hi Cindy!

    What sweet grand kids! I see that they all have the 'blond gene'...

    I wonder if your next one will be another boy, to keep the first one company, as I am thinking that he could use some reinforcement, lol.

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
