{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

    What great questions!!! Okay, here goes:
    1. When I was a teenager, I went to a revival with my Aunt....who drove a white Corvair with red interior. When the service was over, I got into her car to go home....but it wasn't her car. Now what are the odds there would be two cars just alike in the parking lot? And, in my defense....why didn't they lock their car? LOL
    2. Anything by Journey or Bob Seger!!!
    3. Happy Fall, Y'all!!!
    4. "Tennis shoes"....actually runners...but I don't play tennis, or run!!! :)
    5. I love to visit the beach, but since we live practically in the mountains...well, there's no place like home!
    6. Comedy
    7. How do I pick just one food? Does chocolate count?!?!?

    Thanks for the fun, my friend. I love that you showcased Ms. Aim. Wouldn't it be awesome if all of us could meet at her house for supper?!?! HOPE you have an awesome day!

    1. I lol when I read Debbie's embarrassing moment. I can do one better! After running a quick errand with my husband, I jumped back into the passenger seat of our car only to realize it wasn't our car! The hint: the man on the driver's side was a very surprised man who was NOT my husband! Our car was two cars down. We all had quite a laugh...at my expense!! :)
    #2 Free Bird (Lynryd Skynryd)
    #3 I love each season in its time. I couldn't live happily in an area that didn't have 4 seasons.
    #4 some heel but not too high
    #5 beach
    #6 action
    #7 BBQ pork steaks

    1: embarassing moment? I had to sit down and really thing about this one. I have to say... not remembering someone. I find it very embarassing, and it makes me feel so terrible when someone knows me but I can't recall them, even after being reminded of where and when.
    2: favorite song as a teenager? Daddy's Hands by Holly Dunn
    3: favorite season? I Love them ALL... Winter - is Cleansing and Majestic, Spring - is so Fragrant with flowers, Fall - is Beautifully colored by Mother Nature. But Summer is the best for me beause I am such a water person.
    4: What is your favorite type of shoe to wear: A slip on (in between casual & dress) with a tiny bit of height because I'm so short my long dresses sweep the ground.
    5: beach or mountains? My dream is to have a small farm on the water with a mountain view, but since I can only have one... Water it is!
    6: movie genre? Honestly, ALL. I am a huge movie buff. I use to have a movie library room aka extra bedroom in the basement that I lined the walls with bookshelves and filled every one with DVD movies.
    7: Favorite food dish? Again, ALL! I love everything about food. Look, smell, texture, taste and even love cooking it! When eating out, I usually go for Seafood, Italian, Chinese / Thai.
    I loved your answers, I bet you make fantastic fried chicken too.
    This was so fun and I am beyond flattered and honored you picked my blog to highlight.
    Thank you so much for thinking of me, my very sweet friend xo

    Have The Best Day Ever!

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...

{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...

{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...
