{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

Tuesday Toots

So much to toot about in life......Hey, I got out of bed this morning so that is something to TOOT about right?

Recently I enjoyed a little trip with the two youngest grands and two of my daughters to Chuck E Cheese and then of course we had to do a little shopping.


This picture turned out blurry but I still love it!

Of course you get so many tokens when you purchase your pizza but you know Nana had to purchase more tokens....



Youngest grandgirl fixing to chow down on some pizza.



My sister Mary gave me this beautiful basket with a tomato plant filled with herbs a couple of weeks ago.


Look at it now....It is beautiful!


 My Hydrangea is so pretty!



 My oldest daughter with my oldest grand...Along with my grandson and soninlove are in New Orleans this week on a mission trip with our church. We covet your prayers for safety and that our Lord will be lifted high.


 Whipped me up a simple little beach dress for my family beach trip that is coming up soon. Can't wait!



 Goes quite well with the necklace, don't ya think?




How about a little kiwi, mango and avocado fruit salad with a hint of lemon, lime and spices to make you smile?


Should have some nice eggplants in August ready! Can't wait for some Eggplant Parmesan! 


Well it's been fun tooting today! If I would just learn how to tweet! LOL! Have a good day!
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    You're the best Nana ever and I'm pretty sure the prettiest too. You and the girls look so cute together. I LOVE the beach dress you whipped up and the necklace looks fabulous with it. I've been wanting to make one for myself. Thanks for the show me. :).

    Have a wonderful day sweetie. XO's

    It's great to catch up with you, Busy Lady! The dress is so pretty. Hope you enjoy your time away. My eggplants are blooming like gangbusters but I haven't seen any fruit yet. I've never grown them before, is this usual? Lifting your family up as they work at their mission trip. What a great experience for all. Enjoy the rest of your week!!

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
