{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...

{Have you gotten Spring Fever yet?}

Well Spring has officially arrived according to the calendar but the weather part of Spring in Florida can change in a day! LOL! 

 I love my little wishing well. My dad built this for me 22 years ago and it sure has held many a hanging basket!

 A friend of mine told me recently that she had Spring Fever bad and that she was wanting to get outside and play in the dirt.

What is Spring Fever to you? 
  
Simple Definition of spring fever

  • : a feeling of wanting to go outdoors and do things because spring is coming and the weather is getting warmer
      
    Another definition says; a lazy or restless feeling often associated with the onset of spring 

    I'm getting a hankering to play with some herbs again. Now making the time to do that has been another story.

    But I have been busy doing other things such as...........

    Cleaning out kitchen cabinets and drawers! GRR.....Yes, I actually got rid of some of my junk and you have no clue how hard that is for me to do! 

     I recently ordered granite to redo my kitchen counter tops and hopefully within the next few weeks that project will begin so I guess I sorta...kinda...had an urge to clean out cabinets. Maybe that's my Spring Fever for now!

    I picked this design and color...what ya think?


    After I ordered the granite then my mind began to wander.....I'll need to purchase new handles and hinges for my cabinets, repaint my pantry door, buy new rugs, and well, you get the picture, right? My man told me I was "overwhelming" him so let's just take one project at a time!
     
    I've been trying to finish up some aprons for my grandgirls. Maybe I can finish the trim before they get too big to wear them!!!



    How many Easter eggs did you find? We sure had a wonderful Easter. It was suppose to rain a lot on Easter afternoon but the Lord found favor in our family and it did not rain till our Family Egg Hunt was complete! But then with our crew...rain would not have stopped us! We would have went to plan B....you always gotta have a plan B right?


    My youngest grandgirl (on left) was glad to see her cousin. Isn't this the cutest picture?

    Just a few more weeks till the new grandgirl is due. We are anticipating her arrival. This Nana has her bag packed and ready to go too! (I actually had my bag ready before the mom-to-be packed her hospital bag!)


     In the meantime I'll just keep enjoying a little coffee.....


     And meditate on my Scripture for today....

    Have a good and blessed day....

    Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Thank you so much for visiting my blog since I started blogging again. I am slowing trying to get back to what I love about blogging. Posting and visiting my friends. It was fun catching up with what's been going on in your world. I love your new granite and yes, one new thing leads to many changes. Congratulations on the upcoming addition to your clan. Another girl...how sweet. Glad you had a Happy Easter too. Yes, cousin love is the best.

    I love the color of the granite Cindy. I done granite counter tops two years ago and love it. But boy is that stuff pricey! What a sweet picture of those two cuties. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of that cutie that is on the way.

      Thanks Connie. YES...I just knew I was going to have to sell my first born child and my all my grandchildren in order to buy the granite! But hoping I will NEVER have to replace it again! Think I am going to love it.

    The granite you picked looks just like my brother and sister in law's. It's really pretty installed. I do have spring fever...just came in from mowing...not a favorite thing to do. I've been trying to do some cleaning out, too. A necessary chore after almost 39 years ago marriage. :) Happy Wednesday, friend.

    Cindy,
    The granite looks beautiful!! Last year I worked hard and cleaned out and went through everything in the house. Now I am ready to start again because the things I did save will now be looked at with the attitude that if I did not use it in the past year, out it goes.
    Thanks so much for visiting!!
    Hugs,
    Deb

    I've had a touch of spring fever too! It must be going around! My problem is...spring doesn't last long enough and soon we'll be having the hot, humid days of summer. ugh.. Think I'll just have another cup of coffee, read another scripture and go buy a new hanging basket!!

    Can't wait to see the granite installed, that's the color we need if/when we get new. Love the wishing well! I guess my spring fever is laziness, I'm planning to clean out MBR closet, but procrastinating. I'll probably wait till I get two injections (in both hips) before I tackle it tho. I always enjoy seeing what you've got going on! Excited about your gbaby arriving too!

    Happy Spring!

    I'll tell you what, you sure can make a person smile, Cindy (grinning). SPRING FEVER? not yet...although we have mild days for a few days now, but snow is in the forecast for the weekend and Monday. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of your grandbaby as well, smiles...

    Hi Cindy! Oh, I'm so happy for you getting granite countertops! We had them in Galveston but not here. I miss them terribly! :( I know, when you start redoing it just never stops. Your little grand is just adorable and I know you had a wonderfully blessed Easter with your family. I saw on the news this morning that someone filmed a wild cat running across a walking bridge! Lord, have mercy. When you go walking take your shotgun! ;)
    Be a sweetie,

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...
