Happy May!

Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all!   We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen.  Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to  Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun.  The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of

Make Me Smile Monday

A lot of people will say...YUK....MONDAYS are here again! I actually love Mondays....means I made it past Sunday....another day to live life!
But...even on a bad day as we all have them I truly do try to count my blessings and I can find something to smile about....How about you?

 Me, my girls and my motherinlove.

Having all girls can be an expensive, nail biting, roller coaster hormonal experience....BUT THEN THEY GROW UP....and become your best friend! I cannot imagine my life without my daughters.

And I could write a book of reasons to smile about my motherinlove....and one day I might just do that! She is more than just a motherinlove...she is a mother and friend to me....She makes me smile.....

 My tomato plants are really making me smile right now! Love me a tomato sandwich.



Don't you just want a piece of this chicken?

Hey what can I say...this girl likes to eat! And fried chicken is one of my favorites, especially when cooked outside in a big old pot! Makes me smile.....
Yeah...these yard sale goodies made me smile too! A beautiful white tablecloth with 8 matching napkins and a pretty blue and while platter for a mere $4. Made my purse smile BIG!

Ooh...this puts a BIG smile on my face...

And this not only puts a smile on my face but melts this Nana's heart....My youngest grangirl holding her daddy's hand....She just celebrated her 3rd birthday.


 And when sometimes I wonder...you know...just wonder... why, when, where, and how....

But then I remember.....GOD HAS A PLAN FOR MY LIFE.....

I hope that something or someone has caused you to smile today.....
Hugs and blessings,

    Well this post made me smile and more so at counting my blessings. I must say that your grandchild's hand holding her dad's made me smile the biggest this morning.

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

{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

{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
