{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

{Whoopie, Whoopie, Whoopie}


I found a whoopie pie pan at AC Moore and since I had a coupon for 55% off one regular item I decided to buy it.  Now I didn't exactly make mine like the like the ones shown...I did doll them up a bit. 


I made too much butter cream icing so hey, why not use it, right? 


How about a little salted caramel? 


Chocolate chips always makes a good topping don't ya think?


Found me two cute fish plates. I just had to have them for 50 cents each. Perfect for two! 

 
Who needs a meal after this appetizer?  


I drug out my trusty electric roaster and roasted and a couple of chickens. It's great for cooking in large quanities. I guess the last time I used it was in the summer while at the beach. I made a pulled pork in it. 


I made a baked chicken fettuccine casserole with my roasted chicken and it was sooooo good! I also made a dear friend a pan for her birthday. Just can't go wrong with chicken!


Despite the heat I still have beautiful flowers blooming.




The grass may wither and the flowers fade but one thing is for sure my friends, the Word of God will stand forever! AMEN!

And I don't think I need to say much about this picture....Hee-hee!

 Have a good week! 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  1. I sooooo wish I could have a whoopie pie with you, Cindy! Your chickens, casserole and appetizers look awfully scrumptious, too. Your little grand girl is the cutest thing! I had my little Harper here for two nights and she was so happy to be here. My son said that she wouldn't "shut up about" coming to Nana's house. Don't they make us happy?
    May you have a wonderful week, my friend!

  5. What fun you've had with the whoopie pan! I've never seen one, but yours look absolutely scrumptious! I haven't made them in years, in fact thanks for the reminder, I may need to make some! Love the chicken and casseroles you made, they look so wonderful too, and how wonderful that you had enough to share a pan with a friend! What a blessing! Glad your flowers are still blooming, mine are hanging in there too. Hugs to you today :)

    1. Thanks Marilyn. With this storm brewing not so sure those flowers will last much longer. It's either lack of water or too much water.

  14. I made "Moon Pies" for after the eclipse.
    Moon Pies and Woopie Pies are very much the same.
    With so many food allergies in our family (Gluten Free, Dairy intolerant, sugar free, it was hard to come up with a recipe.

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
