{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

{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

  2. 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.

    1. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  8. 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!!

  9. 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!

  10. 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...

  11. 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,
    Shelia ;)

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
