{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

{She Is Here!!!}

YEEKS.....We are so excited and thankful for our newest addition to our family!


She arrived on April 9th at 10:11 a.m. weighing 6 lbs 5 oz. and needless to say we are all GIDDY over her!


 Yes, yes and yes and I could just kiss her whole face 1000 times and more!


 This sweet girl has so much sugar that it is dripping off!



 Needless to say we are proud grandparents. .








Great Grandfather was basking in a little glory too!


Needless to say...Daddy is love struck!


Her hair in the back is longer than mine!



So precious.........

 
God was so good at how He answered our prayers. Short labor...easy delivery, healthy baby and mama. Praise His Holy Name!



And....the winner of the cake platter and server is.............

My friend from Jacksonville, Fl....Connie Royals. I know I said the winner would be someone that guessed the weight without going over and that didn't happen. Connie was surely the closest. She guessed 6 lbs 8 oz. Connie doesn't have a blog (Though I keep telling her to GET ONE) so can't even send you to visit her!  Connie, I have your address and your win will go out to you this weekend! And for the record Connie, I have two of these platters just alike so that winded up being a good thing or I would have kept it! LOL!

I know that several of my blogging friends prayed for my girl during her pregnancy and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! We are grateful!

The sweetest miracles from God come in tiny packages.................







 Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  12. Oh JOY!!! Bless everyone.
    She is beautiful. I cut my daughters hair the day we got home from the hospital. It was hanging down her neck. I I ate liver and onions and turnips greens from Morrison's quite often during my pregnancy and I always thought that was why she had so much hair. LOL!!
    I look forward to seeing many more pics of her. She is precious! Congratulations.

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
