{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...

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 and Papa loves you so very much!



And....meet our newest addition to the family! GINGER!


Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children. Proverbs 17:6 (NLT)


The old saying that says..."If I'd known that having grandchildren would be this good I would have had them first".....TRUE!

Hope you all have a blessed day!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  13. Hi Cindy! I just love this! My grandchildren are too young, but when they get bigger, I'm going to love taking them to the nail artist. Your granddaughter just radiates light and happiness. Must be her Nana! What a cute little dog too. Ginger looks like she is glowing too! Does it run in the family? :)

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{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...
