  Well, when I say it's been cold in Florida then it's been cold! Mercy. I don't do extreme cold nor heat. Think I need to move to the Bahamas's or Hawaii! LOL!  Speaking of cold Marty and I went to the mountains for a little getaway and of course our favorite place to go is Blueridge, Ga. However, temps never got above freezing. We actually had 6 degree temps a few times. BRR........ We normally go mid to late February but this year for a late Celebration of ringing the bell Marty wanted to go in January. No planning for months, no wondering what we would do from day to day but simply a getaway to rest, relax and refresh our spirits. WHICH WE DID JUST THAT.  We surely didn't play in the snow long but did get a tad of play time in.  The cabin was still decorated with Christmas and that I truly loved as I love all things Christmas.  We stayed by the fire a lot which was so nice. The cabin had a fireplace inside and one outside on the partially closed porch with a...

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

  Oh my 2024 has almost gone!  I would normally say "where has the time gone too" but this year some of my days have been long, other days, sweet and full of hope. All days I've surely felt the touch of the Master's Hand upon me.  I am sorry that I have not been able to keep up with blogging but it just hasn't been in the plan.  I am happy to say that I was able to RING THE BELL two days before Thanksgiving and what a blessing that was for me and my family.  Oh the emotions was surely on a all time high that sweet day. I rang that bell loud and proud. I was so blessed to have so many of my family with me on that special occasion. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful strong support group with my family, friends and church family. My oldest granddaughter Raygen was given permission to come and play the piano after I rang the bell. She sang one of my favorite songs, "It is well with my soul". It was amazing at the patients, doctors and nurses that s...

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
