{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...

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  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...
