{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

How About A Little Green?

Have you got your green on today?

 Me and my girls
 
Aren't these the cutest Leprechaun shoes ever????


YUM...Green popcorn....



Don't you just love my great-nieces St. Patrick's Day braid?


Everything green at our Conner's Shamrock Bash! Including a birthday cake for my 9 year old grandson!



Awe.,..plain and simple St. Patty's Day tablescape.



These shamrock stones has served me well. I bought several years ago in the mountains from the Dollar Tree. It's a shame I guess when you can't even go to the MOUNTAINS without stopping at the Dollar Tree or Walmart. LOL!


These goblets has got to my all time favorites!


YEP, that would be pony tail holders for my napkin rings from Big Lots.


 I have got to tell you this little story about the green decanter with cups. Our first Christmas together as husband and wife needless to say we were dirt poor! We had a local 5 and 10 cents store and if you shopped ANYWHERE you shopped there. (though I don't recall much being 5 or 10 cents) For you local gals reading this it was called, Lewis' five and dime store. I bought this cute little set as a Christmas gift for my motherinlove and can remember paying around $4 for the set. That was a lot of money nearly 38 years ago on a Mechanic (hubby) and drugstore (me) salary for us. She kept it all these years and I was thrilled to be able to have it. And this is just one my decorative decanter's as I love them!


Simple Green...


 As always....love my little white tree.



Love my little green tea cup too! Think I will have some shamrock tea in it!




Hope you have a Shamrock kind of day! 



Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  8. Cindy, every time I look at the photo's of your family gatherings....I long for the days when I was a kid and was still home with brothers, sister and my mom, father and all of my aunts, uncles and grandparents. My parents and grandparents and my sister have all entered the gates of heaven...but those memories are mine to keep forever and they are special. All these special memories your family creates just makes my heart smile. You can feel the love through every single photo. You are so blessed and I thank you for sharing your family with us....I feel blessed just knowing you. Johnna D.

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
