{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

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

  8. 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 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
