Wednesday in the Word-Mountain Trip-Scene 2

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-Mountain Trip-Scene 2

If you missed my Scene 1 (yes, I am pretending like I am doing a movie) you can go here to see the beautiful cabin we stayed in and the location information. http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2014/03/tuesday-toots-mountain-trip-scene-1.html

For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. 1st Timothy 4:4

We truly did have a wonderful time in the mountains. I can see why Florida residents like to live in the mountains at least half of the year!

I can assure you that we ate and we ate well! Our first stop is to Kroger's to buy groceries and our menus are well thought out and planned ahead of time! We usually go out to eat a few times while there but for the most part we eat a big breakfast and supper. Of course you gotta have snacks along the way....right?

Snacks from the Bass Pro Shop...more on that later!

First night is always-------STEAK! We cook out a lot at home but nothing any better than grilling on a porch over looking the mountains!

Medium rare Sirloin steaks, baked potatoes with sour cream and butter, roasted peppers and snap peas!

I was flipping through this little book in the cabin and read about Metcalf Bottoms which so just happened to be about 1/2 mile from the cabin. Beautiful little river with lots of picnic tables, restrooms, fishing and more. And FREE!

I loved this picture. I do believe I will put a scripture on this and enlarge it for my home! Loved the serene look of the river.

If it had of been summer my grands would have had a ball in this river!

There was people along the river fly fishing and they were all women! Not that it shocked to me to see women fishing but found it funny that every single person we saw fishing was a woman! Well, somebody has to bring home the supper right? I snapped this picture as we crossed the bridge to go hike! YES I said HIKE!

This trail doesn't look like there is much to it but trust me! It was steep. It just kept going UP and UP and UP!

It was cold....but my man shed his jacket quick like!

I decided after a ~~little~~ lot of huffing and puffing that there was no sense in us both gasping for breath so I decided to let him go on ahead and I just ZOOMED him in with my camera as he made it to the finish line! It takes WORK to snap those pictures!!!

After that ~~hike~~ walk I had I was ready to go back to the river and play!

On every single picnic table there was this sign....glad the bears was asleep!

The area that we actually stayed in was well known for it's bears. So much so that prior guests had pictures of two bears that had run through the cabin we stayed in! YIKES!

Enjoyed our time at Metcalf Bottoms.

Now after all that exercising how about a cup of coffee?

May we all be mindful of our gratefulness to our Lord for the things that we take for granite daily. If not for Christ where would we be?

Tune in later when I might invite you to breakfast.........LOL!

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...

{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...
