{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

TUESDAY TOOTS

Well it's tootin time again! Got several toots for you this week...I just love to toot on my girls!!!! (LOL) That didn't even sound right did it?

We celebrated my middle daughter's 28th birthday with a shopping trip and of course out to eat. We carried the oldest granddaughter as she is at that age to where she really enjoys the little outings. 

 Left to right...Baby Girl...Marti Leigh. Melissa (birthday girl) Oldest daughter Kristy, her daughter Raygen and yours truly!

Olive Garden was the choice place to eat! You can't go wrong with soup, salad and bread sticks!


Me and the birthday girl!





The Birthday girl...Middle Daughter Melissa.(Melissa Kay Conner Jackson)  Born on July 9th, 1984 at 7:15 a.m. Weighed 7lbs 5 oz with a head full of black hair. I am talking she had so much hair that Velcro hair bows was not needed. We went right on to using the ones that snapped! She was born 7 minutes after I arrived at the hospital! One thing I could do was BIRTH in a hurry!



She and my soninlove Brad just celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary. They celebrated with a weekend trip to St. Augustine Fla. 


Their two beautiful little girls and my granddaughters.
Mallory...age 4

Kyleigh....age 1


Happy Birthday Melissa!




Thanks for looking at my TOOTS this week.


Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    A grand "toot" indeed - and beautiful daughters to "boot"!! What a great escape just you and the girls to a favorite restaurant of my own - though, we rarely go since my gluten free lifestyle kicked in. Know you enjoyed it!

    Joy!

    Oh my goodness! You have beautiful daughters(and granddaughters)...take after their Mom. Sounds like a fun day. Olive Garden is my favorite. Happy Birthday to Melissa. I raised 3 boys who I love with all my heart. I always longed for a daughter to do things like this with. God answered my prayers with 3 DIL's and 7 granddaughters.
    I love your toots.

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...

{A Celebration of Forty Years of Marriage}

Marty and I just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on September 23rd. On one hand, it seems like it was FOREVER ago that we said "I do" and on the other hand, it really doesn't seem that long ago.   We began dating at the age of 16, married at age 18 and began our family at age 20. WOW! Babies, right? I always said that we grew up with our children.  My friend Janice told me that most people can't commit 40 days much less 40 years and that is so very true. God has been so merciful to us over the years and the grace that He has poured out on us is about more than my little brain can comprehend. We have been truly blessed and we have not deserved one ounce of His blessings!  We have had hard times, bad times, grief, and to be totally honest, there were times we both wondered if we would make it! God has shown us Grace and Mercy over and over again. He sure loves us so much.  The question was asked to me, "What has been y...

{Tea Cup and Mug Exchange} So much fun!

I joined the talented and gifted Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose blog for her tea cup and mug exchange. This was my 3rd time of participating and it was so much fun. Stephanie will be posting on her Blog about the exchange on Wednesday so be sure to hop over there this week and visit.  http://theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/   Linda from https://ladylindateacup.blogspot.com/  was given my name to send a teacup too.   She went above and beyond and needless to say, I could not wait to open my package when it arrived. It felt like Christmas opening up all those sweet packages. I am in love with my new tea cup! Isn't she a beauty? And of course I named her, "LADY LINDA" . Just look at all the sweet things that Lady Linda sent to me! Look at that precious Dress Dish Towel she made for me! So, so cute! It was so nice to make a new blogging friend and I truly do enjoy our exchanges. I was given Margie's name to ...
