{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

If Dorothy can click her heels together and get to Kansas then I can click my flip flops together and get to the beach!!! RIGHT?

I'm anticipating some sand on my toes...

A comfy chair and book in my hand...I bought me a new book to read and I hid it from myself so I wouldn't go ahead and read it! (Now to find it)

Every now and then I will walk along the beach and pick up some sea shells...

And when I'm tired of that I will stroll into the water and splash around (But I won't be going up into the Shark's house I can assure you)

Then I will casually walk back to this cute little cottage we will be staying at NEXT WEEK!

    1. I am so ready to get away for a few days. I think we all need that from time to time. I went through airbnb and so glad I did. Trusting sight for sure and no more pricier than anywhere else. I rather deal with owners directly. Can't wait to share with you next week as I hope to snap a few pictures. Thanks for stopping by my friend.

    1. Thanks my friend. I saw your beach post! WOW! What a great time you had. I know you will enjoy the mountains as well. I love the mountains but in the winter months if possible. I just like the cool brisk mornings with a cup of coffee sitting on the porch over looking the mountains. But....I will take the beach next week too! LOL!

  3. What a nice vacation spot! I love it. You are going to have so much fun just in the house much less the beach when it is not so crowded since most schools have started. Can't wait to hear and see more of your getaway.
    I would love to meet you sometime, Cindy. I think we could talk for hours. Your comment to me today was so nice. Thanks so much. You made my day!

    1. Awe Bonnie, I would love to meet you as well. My first blogging friend I ever got to meet and spend a little time with was Debbie from Breathing in Grace. We have become such special friends over the years. Maybe the Lord will open a door for us! Yes, the house looks adorable. It's always nice to have a different scenery every now and then for sure. When I grow up Bonnie I hope to do tablescapes like you my friend!

  5. I know you have been wanting to go to the beach for a few days. Good for you! The cottage looks so cute. Sounds like the perfect time to go to the beach too as this time of the year people start gearing back up for school and have already been on their vacations for the summer. Don't get too much sun!

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
