{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

Tuesday Toots-Gold plated silverware

Well it is tootin' time this week. Just gotta toot on my new set of gold plated silverware....Well, it is new to me! (Sorta)

Even the wooden box is pretty!

Okay now for the story. My friend Janice gave this to me! I have borrowed this from her for the last few years around the Christmas holidays. I usually host a luncheon or dinner for a few ladies or either couples so Janice's pretty gold plated silverware was always perfect.

 Well....she decided I used it more than her so she gave it to me! She never liked it nor did she use it...(so that is what she told me). I wonder if maybe she got tired of me borrowing it and just decided to give it to me?


Or I wonder if that is the part of friendship that says....I want you to have this just cause I love you! 

 Or could it be one of those God things where the Lord simple whispers to your heart to give something to another person that you'd rather really keep? 

 There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother..........

 Either way....I love my gift...not as much as I love my life time friend of more than 45 years....



Never ceases to amaze me at how God can use something so simple as a mere gift out of kindness or obedience to bring such joy and blessings to others.

 I intend on using my new gift a lot! 


What have you done for someone this week?

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    What a precious friend you have...of course, I know that you're just as good a friend right back to her. God is so good to bless us. I love the Journey devotional and a precious friend of mine is mailing me one each month because we have cut corners and I just couldn't afford to buy it any longer. That was truly a gift from HIM!!!

    I didn't notice your last question?!?! Can I give an example of something that happened, but not this week? Several months ago, I found out that a lady I used to be friends with liked a certain little item of jewelry. I knew I had the item but couldn't find it. Later on, while doing some cleaning out prior to a yard sale, I came across it...scrounged around and found her mailing address, and mailed it to her. I guess she received it....and HOPE she liked it!!!

    So Miss Cindy...is this how you really get something you want? You just keep borrowing it hoping they will give it to you? LOL! Just teasing. Love the silverware but I especially love the idea that is was given by a friend of many years! WOW!

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

{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

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th
