{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

{Yard Sale} was calling my name!!!

Okay, I must admit...I had no intentions on going to another yard sale over the weekend but I tell you the truth when I say that I think I heard the sound of something beckoning me...COME....COME....COME
Okay, now I am scaring myself! Truth is I just wanted to go to another yard sale (ha!) So, me and two of the grandgirls went a hunting for something good. 

And this was the first beauty I came across! A little cleaning and a fresh coat of paint and I think I might just have me a gem!


I NEVER turn down goblets like these. I love them and they are my favorite to use. I just added 3 more to my collection.....


And you all know I love me a cute basket!


Isn't this cute? I actually think I am going to use this as a planter...or maybe in the guest bathroom to hold shampoos, soaps and etc. (Or maybe my flavored teas)


LOVED this little bucket! Think I will re-pot some herbs in it!


And  wouldn't you just know that I would spot a set of dishes! In case I have not told you this before...."My name is Cindy and I'm a dishaholic". Who can turn down white dishes, right?
I just had to have them.


Grape leaf and rose pattern by Gibson. I will be on the lookout for this pattern.


These are the two cuties that tagged along with Nana to yard sales. Of course they got to go to McDonald's so it was worth it to them.


And I only spent $10! YEP, $10 
Now McDonald's was another story.....Have you seen the price of hamburgers these days? 

I'm joining Kathy today for her home and garden Thursday over at http://www.adelightsomelife.com/2015/06/home-and-garden-thursday-102.html#comment-70582

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. Okay, so I just don't get the "only spent $10" bit and you come home with all those goodies. The dishes alone should have been that at least!! You done good, milady! I just spent the past two weekends with my own yard sales. I've decided to hook up with friends--much better plan. Each weekend we packed the cars with tent, tables, chairs, and as many boxes of stuff as we could fit. Headed over to the yard sale party (different place each Saturday), set up in an hour and had a blast! Made a little spending money for out trip to see the grand-girl next week--and hubby's 60th this month. I'm selling my 98 piece Farbarware Dorchester dishes set after 20 years and looking for a smaller set with vintage something. I've got bits and pieces of a couple patterns I love, but never had the room to expand. Now, I do! Yay!
    On book tour this Saturday--seeking the Lord's blessings in all things--even yard sales. So great to post again and reconnect in Blogland after a hectic couple of months since my book came out. More busy ahead, but praying balance.
    Joy!

  6. Your clock and bucket are calling my name!! The same thing happened to me today. I was all set to stay home for the day and NOT go to any sales. Then my daughter texted me that there were a ton of sales all in a row nearby. I was there. I didn't get much but what I did is fabulous!

  8. Those dishes are beautiful, Cindy! I have to admit that I am a minimalist and don't have many things, but I do love sales like this and I so enjoy your posts about them and seeing what you find!!! McDonald's and everything else is so expensive these days, but I am glad you all enjoyed each other's company and you all look happy. :)

  9. Hi Cindy,
    Your garage sale finds are great and for a great price. The clock is really nice, I love walnut wood. And the wexford goblets, I have a set of those and a matching pitcher, I think they look so elegant. I like that bucket too! Your grandgirls are adorable, pretty just like their grandma! Yay, for McDonald's right?
    Have a great weekend and thanks so much for your recent visit to my blog.

  12. Cindy, you always find the neatest things! I am in love with that clock. The best thing though is the time spent with those precious little girls, and yes, hamburgers are not the 'cheap' meal anymore.

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

{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

{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
