{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

{Christmas Time's A Comin'}

Christmas is almost here...And POOF it will all be over but the cleaning up! But even with all the cleaning up, packing away and turkey sandwiches for a week, I still love this time of the year. Don't you?

 I think Santa has already came to Nana and Papa's house though.


I bought myself a little Christmas present too...DON'T YOU LOVE MY NEW PLATES?



 I was so excited when I found these at Ross. I snatched all 8 of them up faster than you can spit! 


They look so pretty with my red chargers and Christmas dessert plates.
 

I decided to use my old bread bowl that was gifted to my by my grandmother. Her daddy, my great-father actually carved this old bread bowl. I need to try and restore it. Some paint got spilled on the inside years ago and it's cracking. But it worked beautifully for a centerpiece.
 

I love the red and white napkins nestled in the goblets.
 

My runner this year is three poinsettia place-mats. 
 


My little salt and pepper Christmas trees match my dessert plates. 


Yep, I think I love my Christmas tabelscape. 
 


I added just a touch of Christmas to my blue and white dishes.








A little Christmas added to my kitchen counter always makes things look festive. 




A Santa flower pot worked great to hold my red cooking utensils.


My good old faithful three tiered basket holds a few Christmas goodies.




Rudolph stands proud. Bless his heart, he is surely getting old but still loves to shine bright around my house. He's been in the yard, on the front porch, in the living room and I even think I had him in the hallway one year. He makes his rounds.
 

I hope that you all are enjoying the wonderful holiday season. It's my prayer for you all that God will show Himself mighty to each of you during this special time of the year. A time that is a reminder that Jesus Christ came that we might be saved. If Not for Christ....where would this old sinner saved by grace be?
 


May we enjoy the CHRIST in Christmas. Oh how He loves you and me!

I will see you all after the holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Cindy, your table is really pretty and yes I do love your plates. I saw some bowls recently at Ross that had scripture on them. We are doing Christmas with our children and grands the day after Christmas and we are doing a Christmas brunch. Something a little different but I am beginning to like different in my older age. LOL! Merry Christmas Cindy.

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

{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

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th
