{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

Let's Talk Thursday-10 Books that changed, touched or entertained your life!



I was challenged by my friend Donna Monds to list ten books that has touched me, changed me and entertained me. Being one that loves to read this was hard because I have so many good reads. I am not challenging you to challenge others but thought it would be fun to see what you like to read! Let me know...you might have read something that I haven't and want too! LOL!


1: The Bible-not only is the Bible true but any kind of story you can imagine is in the Word of God-and everything from the beginning to the end points to Christ

2 Just like Jesus by Max Lucado. (God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way!) 

3: Trial by Fire by Terri Blackstock ( A fast pace thriller, Christian based)

 4: Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers (Shows true redemption of Christ) 

 5: One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp (Being thankful in EVERYTHING in our life) 

6: Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo (Inspiring) 

7: This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti(Scared me to death but I couldn’t put it down)

 8: Fresh Wind Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala (demonstrates the power of God when we trust Him)

 9: The Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (Praise the Lord I will not be left behind) 

10: The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis  (most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it.) 

 I have so many books on my book shelf that has touched me, changed me, entertained me and  inspired me. And I am a huge Max Lucado fan so I have (almost) read most of what he has written thus far. Love me a good book! 

Have a great day!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  1. I think I've read most everything written by Frank Peretti....and I'm not an avid reader. I tried to read the Ann Voscamp book but I think she thinks way over my head...which doesn't take much! :) HOPE you have a great day!!!

  2. I am not much of a reader though I wish I did read more! Just can't get into the habit of it. However, when I do read I enjoy the Anne of Green Gable series.

  3. Darn, I wish I could remember the books I've read! They go right out of my head after I've read them. This looks like a great list!

  4. The Bible...always a life changer, Kisses from Katie...a challenger,
    Off Center...reminder of the special-ness of the ordinary,
    The Jesse Tree...a calling to Advent, preparing hearts for Christmas,
    One Thousand Gifts...a call to gratitude
    To the Golden Shore...reminder of the Sovereignty of God
    Through Gates of Splendor...living a totally surrendered life to Christ
    Secrets of the Vine...abiding in Him
    The Simple Life...living simply is arrived at through hard work
    Radical Integrity...Living totally for the cause of Christ

    Thank you, Cindy, for giving me cause to pause and think about these books that have truly made a change in my life...and why.

  5. P.S....that should be The Greatest Gift by Ann Voskamp instead of the Jesse Tree. The Jesse Tree was the project part of the book as we numbered our days through Advent. ;) Hugs

  6. I loved the Left Behind series and have been an avid prophecy student ever since. Of course the Bible is #1, Left Behind series #2. All of Frank Peretti's books and I absolutely loved Jan Karon's Mitford Series! And my list could go on forever but I'll stop here! BTW, I love Max Lucado too!

  8. I do love to read but haven't read any of these, besides the Bible a little. I've read so many good, great and even simple stories, as once I get into a book, that's it!
    Thank you for popping in to visit me, you made my day!
    Hugs,

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
