{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

WEDNESDAY IN THE WORD-Being Thankful-Rejoicing in the Lord

Since we are in the "Thanksgiving" month I thought I would just simply post one thing today that gives me joy and that I am thankful for. I love thrift store shopping, yard sales and junking as my husband calls it and though I don't go as often as I used too I did recently stop at a good old thrift store on my way to hunt with my husband. Wanted to share my goodies with you today. 

I found these three little cuties for under $2. Won't they be really cute with some gold Christmas balls in them?




 Oh yeah...I brought these babies home with me for $4.50. Love them!!!!!!!


 I spied this and I just had to have it! My husband said, What are you going to do with it? Of course I told him I had a billion ideas, right? $3 brought this home to reside at the Conner's. 


 I can't hardly pass up a basket! I use them for everything. Especially when they are cute like this and only 50 cents.


Yes these small things in life give me joy there is no doubt. But...I am thankful for the small things in life that do bring me joy. Just being grateful that I can ENJOY the small things in life..........
 
Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice! Philippians 4:4

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Love all of your finds, Cindy! You did good, girlfriend! :) Oh, I know how the Lord loves to delight in us! Thank you for your visit and your kind words about my little mother going home to Jesus. I think of that song "I Can Only Imagine" and the hair stands up on the back of my neck!
    I treasure you more than you know.
    You are the sweetie,
    Shelia :)

    Love your pretty drinking glasses, Cindy. Your Christmas trees would be great filled with candy too. And I'm sure the grands would love that! I adore the photo of your grandchildren on the beach!

    You and I would have so much fun together! Until we found something we both wanted!:) I love your finds. That brown metal piece is the inspiration for something I've been thinking of doing. Now I'm going to do it! I have a similar piece on my hearth for firewood. It doesn't go with our décor so well anymore and I keep thinking of painting it brown. Now I know I'm going to head for the store and get the paint and do it!

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
