{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

Thursday Tidbits

Yep, another party I am helping with by doing a few centerpieces so wanted to share. Theme is football and of course my favorite colors...red and black. 


Simple but cute....Red and Black Coffee cups, a little tissue paper but mostly red and black paper napkins served as fillers. A carnation tucked here and there and a football made the centerpiece complete.


Love how the pop corn boxes turned out so cute...



Have you I told you that I LOVE me a Mason Jar?





Got other things ready to go such as a GUESTS sign in board with footballs. Tag Football....guests will sign a football and tag the board! 






This will be displayed on an easel with cut out footballs and pens so guests can sign and tag the board.





Had to stop and at least get my little 2 ft white tree gussied up with some red, white and blue...


My tea tray is perfect for my little white tree....



  The grands loves Nana's white tree. They look forward to seeing what will be on it next?


Got to get started on my July 4th tablescape....just doesn't seem to be enough time to do what is needed much less what is wanted at times. Praise the Lord that He did not give us anymore than 24 hours in a day....WE WOULD PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT if He did! 

Have a great day.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. Cindy!!

    I LOVE your patriotic Tree but i know you knew that i would!!!

    My youngest son and his girlfriend keep their LR Tree up year round and they asked me if I had a Small tree for their bedroom so i gave them a 3 foot potted Tree that was not being used at Christmas by my oldest son as he got another one. My youngest son said he loves the lights and Danielle says it is Jim who lights the tree every night!! You can tell he is my son, huh??
    I shared your post on Google +
    Thanks for you your visits!! I also love your centerpieces!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

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
