{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

Make Me Smile Monday

Well, I just like LOVE bragging on my grandbabies! Gotta brag on the oldest grandgirl a little bit today. 


 Let me start by sharing that my oldest daughter and her family spent the week in New Orleans with our church on a mission trip. We had the opportunity to hear amazing testimonies last night at church from our team that went. 

Nothing melted my heart any more than to hear that our 10 year old grandgirl Raygen participated with helping to lead Bible studies all through the week with the children, took a very active part in leading and led two little girls to come to know Christ as their Savior. 

The opportunity came when she was asked about her bracelet that she was wearing. The "Salvation" bracelet.

 She explained in detail what each bead meant and represented and then led them in prayer.

 WHEW....my heart is still melting!

Hoping to share with you soon about another bracelet that the Lord used to help me be an encourager to another sister in Christ. Amazing how our Lord will use a piece of jewelry!!!!

Well friends, that is enough to keep me smiling all week! Hope it brought a sweet smile to you today.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Cindy, I know your heart swells each time you think of how the Lord has used (and will continue to use) this beautiful grandgirl of yours.

    Raygen is a beautiful girl...inside and outside.

    Hi Cindy, What a darling grand daughter. Her pic is precious. It is just wonderful that she inspired and lead others to Christ by her own testimony,helping with activities and example. The bracelet and the meaning of the beads is beautiful. Yes, you have plenty to smile about.
    God has truly blessed her that she may bless others.
    Lovely post and blessings to you my friend.

    This is such a great story!! Thanks for sharing! God gives us opportunities all the time to share our faith with others and many times, we let those opportunities slip by. I know you are so proud your granddaughter followed God's lead! What a wonderful blessing she was to those she worked with!

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

{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

{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
