{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

Tuesday Toots-Mountain Trip-Scene 1

My husband and I spent a wonderful week in the mountains last week.  We've stayed in different cabins over the years in the Blue Ridge Mountains and loved it but this makes our 2nd time of staying in Wares Valley in Sevierville, Tn. and I just love the location there. Wanted to share some cabin pictures with you today and for those looking for JUST the right place to go then this location is it! You are minutes away from Cades Cove, Pidgeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and more!

Here our little cabin was all nestled in seclusion on the side of the mountain! 


 The Little cabin was just cute as it could be.



Of course the first thing us women look for is the kitchen! Kitchen was small and quaint and just what we needed for a week.



The men look for the television with the remote control!!!!


The cabinet behind the couch was actually a hideaway bed.



The little breakfast nook was so cute. There was a little bench behind the table that would have sat at least two more people.


Another view....


Every door going in or coming out was made like this.


 Right outside these doors sat the grill, rocking chairs and picnic table overlooking the mountains!



Stair case to the master bedroom



Of course every cabin we have stayed in has a wild life theme but this cabin must be owned by a horse lover. There was some bear and other forms of wild life but horses was the theme!




Right outside the master bedroom was the hot tub. The view was beautiful!



Time to shoot pool! Which by the way I am just a pity at pool!


Loved the covered chairs and lamp with the pool theme!


Gas fireplace was in the bedroom and the living room. I must say I LOVE my real wood burning fireplace at home and would not swap it out for a gas one but it was nice to just flip a switch. We never cut the central heat on not once while there and it was some kind of cold!


The bathrooms was small but decorated so cute. The good thing was I had a bathroom and hubby had a bathroom. Worked out well....



There was cute decor all throughout the cabin. I just love looking at how these cabins are decorated. Will share just a few things that caught my eye....







Loved the wagon wheel!


We just adored our little cabin....


 Stay tuned....lots of pictures to share with you later. But for now I will leave you with this one.....It says it all about our mountain trip.........


Only by His grace are we able to do partake of His beauty and the simplicity of the life that He has given us.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

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
