{May Has Arrived}

  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...

How About A Little Green?

Have you got your green on today?

 Me and my girls
 
Aren't these the cutest Leprechaun shoes ever????


YUM...Green popcorn....



Don't you just love my great-nieces St. Patrick's Day braid?


Everything green at our Conner's Shamrock Bash! Including a birthday cake for my 9 year old grandson!



Awe.,..plain and simple St. Patty's Day tablescape.



These shamrock stones has served me well. I bought several years ago in the mountains from the Dollar Tree. It's a shame I guess when you can't even go to the MOUNTAINS without stopping at the Dollar Tree or Walmart. LOL!


These goblets has got to my all time favorites!


YEP, that would be pony tail holders for my napkin rings from Big Lots.


 I have got to tell you this little story about the green decanter with cups. Our first Christmas together as husband and wife needless to say we were dirt poor! We had a local 5 and 10 cents store and if you shopped ANYWHERE you shopped there. (though I don't recall much being 5 or 10 cents) For you local gals reading this it was called, Lewis' five and dime store. I bought this cute little set as a Christmas gift for my motherinlove and can remember paying around $4 for the set. That was a lot of money nearly 38 years ago on a Mechanic (hubby) and drugstore (me) salary for us. She kept it all these years and I was thrilled to be able to have it. And this is just one my decorative decanter's as I love them!


Simple Green...


 As always....love my little white tree.


Love my little green tea cup too! Think I will have some shamrock tea in it!




Hope you have a Shamrock kind of day! 



Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    All so fun and pretty, Cindy! I love the decanter and matching cups--they're probably quite collectable now! It so sweet that she kept it all those years and that you have it back in your home now. Happy St. Patrick's day to you and your family, and happy birthday to the birthday boy! ~Zuni

    Cindy, every time I look at the photo's of your family gatherings....I long for the days when I was a kid and was still home with brothers, sister and my mom, father and all of my aunts, uncles and grandparents. My parents and grandparents and my sister have all entered the gates of heaven...but those memories are mine to keep forever and they are special. All these special memories your family creates just makes my heart smile. You can feel the love through every single photo. You are so blessed and I thank you for sharing your family with us....I feel blessed just knowing you. Johnna D.

{A Celebration of Forty Years of Marriage}

Marty and I just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on September 23rd. On one hand, it seems like it was FOREVER ago that we said "I do" and on the other hand, it really doesn't seem that long ago.   We began dating at the age of 16, married at age 18 and began our family at age 20. WOW! Babies, right? I always said that we grew up with our children.  My friend Janice told me that most people can't commit 40 days much less 40 years and that is so very true. God has been so merciful to us over the years and the grace that He has poured out on us is about more than my little brain can comprehend. We have been truly blessed and we have not deserved one ounce of His blessings!  We have had hard times, bad times, grief, and to be totally honest, there were times we both wondered if we would make it! God has shown us Grace and Mercy over and over again. He sure loves us so much.  The question was asked to me, "What has been y...

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...

{Tea Cup and Mug Exchange} So much fun!

I joined the talented and gifted Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose blog for her tea cup and mug exchange. This was my 3rd time of participating and it was so much fun. Stephanie will be posting on her Blog about the exchange on Wednesday so be sure to hop over there this week and visit.  http://theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/   Linda from https://ladylindateacup.blogspot.com/  was given my name to send a teacup too.   She went above and beyond and needless to say, I could not wait to open my package when it arrived. It felt like Christmas opening up all those sweet packages. I am in love with my new tea cup! Isn't she a beauty? And of course I named her, "LADY LINDA" . Just look at all the sweet things that Lady Linda sent to me! Look at that precious Dress Dish Towel she made for me! So, so cute! It was so nice to make a new blogging friend and I truly do enjoy our exchanges. I was given Margie's name to ...
