{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...

{Just 10 more weeks}

Can you believe my daughter only has about 10 more weeks left of pregnancy? Time has been flying by to me during her pregnancy. Of course the closer it gets to delivery time I am sure my girl will think it's taking forever! 

We had the opportunity to see pictures of our sweet little grandgirl that will be making her appearance in April and as with anything else that we do....WE MAKE IT A FAMILY FUN DAY!


 

My other grandgirls are READY to see the new cousin but for the time being they will settle with pictures!





And I can tell you that this little gal right here will probably always be the BABY no matter how many babies we have! She keeps us going. Showing off her new lipstick!

 A gal after her Nana's heart! Love that she loves lipstick!

I am amazed at how far technology has come with sonograms and all the 3D's and etc. they do now. It is CRAZY I tell ya...just crazy! 

All I can say is I have no idea how one can look at these pictures and not believe that there is a GOD.

Look at this sweet little girl....she was sleeping but when the technician gave my daughter a piece of chocolate she decided to rouse up a little. BOY, Chocolate has a way of doing that to us huh?


Just look at her little lips and nose....my mercy!


She knew that her two grandmothers was there so she decided to smile at us!!!!



It's amazing at what all you can see. One of my daughters asked the tech if she could tell at this point if sweet girl had any hair. She looked and said, "Oh yes, there is hair", and she made us a picture!



Can you believe that? The tech said she has long hair and looks at though it's trying to curl! I am telling y'all that is just CRAZY! I am curious to see if our sweet little girl comes out bald! Ha! But....this Nana don't care either way! 

I have wrote down everything the tech said as I cannot wait to see if she was right about any of it. She said: Baby is still a girl! (good thing because we've got lots of pink going on) She said: Baby girl has long fingers and long legs. She seems to be a calm baby. Has big thighs and a big butt! (LOL) Now what baby has a big butt? She also said she could see the little fat rolls forming around her wrist and she has a dimple. She said it looks as though she will have lots of hair. She has estimated sweet girl to weigh between 7 - 7 1/2 lbs. SO....one thing is for sure...TIME WILL TELL! 

But she is just beautiful don't ya think?





We had a fun day for sure. Of course the expecting mama was wanting something sweet.....YEPPERS, she had lots of choices!




 

One thing is for sure...we have a full life...and a happy one at that! God is Good! 

As I close today I ask that if you would to please say a prayer for our Mission Team. We will be leaving bright and early on February 11th headed to Nicaragua. Our team will consist of two men and nine women. We are going to teach the ladies in Nicaragua at two different churches. I ask that you pray for our safety and that God's Word would save souls, change lives and go beyond our beyond.          See you when I get back! 



Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Hi Cindy, I will keep your missions team in prayer. Love the 3D pics. I was able to see my granddaughters and grandson. Was there when they revealed he was a boy. Just so amazing that we can see all this. 35 years ago I had an US early on just to make sure there was a baby and we were so excited! After 3 miscarriages, God was answering our prayers. You have a lovely 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...

{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...
