{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...

Wednesday in the Word-Bullet Proof

Today is just one of those days! Do you ever have those days when you seem to be "JUST SICK" at how Satan attacks the children of God? And...we're none exempt from the attacks of the evil one. Matter of fact if you are a Christian he wants you out of the picture especially if you are making a difference for the kingdom of God.  Seems here lately that everywhere I turn I am hearing story after story of how Satan is at work in the lives of so many. Marriages are on the brink of destruction. Families are being torn apart. People are walking away from their faith to trust an unknown God of some kind. Faithful, long time church members now sitting on their couches instead of sitting in a pew at their church. Children rallying against their parents. The list goes on and on. Satan is alive and roaming this earth seeking whom he can devour.  I read a true story once about a motorcycle policeman that saw a red pick-up truck speed through a stop sign. He turned on his lights a...

And of course I could not PASS THIS UP!  I just love this pitcher. I have several like this in different sizes. This is Tupperware and I have one exactly like this one that I've had for years and I use it to make tea in for big family gatherings! Now I've got another one!

Things that make me Happy,

I just love my "Love you more" sign. Makes me smile!  This old iron and clothes pins my friend Shirley Williams gave me made me real happy. Now Sister girl will have a friend.     You can read about Sister girl here... . http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2015/04/when-transformation-takes-place.html   This OLD, OLD Wagon Wheel that belonged to my husband's  grandpa makes me happy!We have two of them and loved them in our yard! My sweet "bread bowl" as I call it! I found this at a yard sale years ago and paid a whole whopping 25 cents for it. I am quite sure it was someones salad bowl at the time but it has served me well as my bread bowl! Nice, thick and heavy and has been used to make lots of "granny's biscuits! This green pitcher with silk flowers HOLLERS Summer to me! My man built this cover to hide my UGLY hot water heater in my laundry room and I am HAPPY ! More on that in a later post! ...

WHEN TRANSFORMATION TAKES PLACE

My latest purchase was a wooden antique ironing board as I had been wanting one and a long time friend of mine just so happen to have an extra one that I could buy from her!  And I say extra because she had 3! One went to her daughter, she kept one and I purchased the other one! HAPPY CAMPER! But with this grand piece dated between the 20-30's era came a billion-zillion pieces of padding that had been been nailed to this sweetie that I named Sister Gir l. Her name came quickly as she about whipped me and everyone else in the family. At one point I said, "Sister Girl" ...I have one nerve left today and you DONE AND GOT ON IT! We cut with scissors, knives, ripped, tore and shredded and well this became a family project. I even had the oldest grandgirl and my friend Janice's grandson hard at work trying to help me to expose the wood that I knew SISTER GIRL had somewhere....underneath all that billion-zillion pieces of padding. They actually thought it was ...

Happy Birthday To Our Oldest Grandchild

Our oldest grandchild and granddaughter Raygen is celebrating her 11th birthday today! And as with all of my family...we celebrate for a MONTH ! I've already called and sang Happy Birthday to her this morning and she has filled me in on what is in store for her DAY ! This past Saturday we had a Nana and Raygen day to celebrate her birthday. Mani's and Pedi's was on the top of our list! She enjoyed every minute of being pampered. I think she might be kin to her Nana! Of course we had to have a little design put on the nails and toenails too! Showing off her freshly done manicure! And of course we had to get our toes done! Raygen picked out my color...Cajun Shrimp! Her foot is bigger than mine!!!! And she is about to be taller than me. Which isn't saying a whole lot! LOL! This sweet young girl brings our family so much joy! She is only 11 years old and filled with a love for our Lord that speaks to many. Happy Birthday Raygen! Nana a...
