{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

{She Is Here!!!}

YEEKS.....We are so excited and thankful for our newest addition to our family!


She arrived on April 9th at 10:11 a.m. weighing 6 lbs 5 oz. and needless to say we are all GIDDY over her!


 Yes, yes and yes and I could just kiss her whole face 1000 times and more!


 This sweet girl has so much sugar that it is dripping off!



 Needless to say we are proud grandparents. .








Great Grandfather was basking in a little glory too!


Needless to say...Daddy is love struck!


Her hair in the back is longer than mine!



So precious.........

 
God was so good at how He answered our prayers. Short labor...easy delivery, healthy baby and mama. Praise His Holy Name!



And....the winner of the cake platter and server is.............

My friend from Jacksonville, Fl....Connie Royals. I know I said the winner would be someone that guessed the weight without going over and that didn't happen. Connie was surely the closest. She guessed 6 lbs 8 oz. Connie doesn't have a blog (Though I keep telling her to GET ONE) so can't even send you to visit her!  Connie, I have your address and your win will go out to you this weekend! And for the record Connie, I have two of these platters just alike so that winded up being a good thing or I would have kept it! LOL!

I know that several of my blogging friends prayed for my girl during her pregnancy and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! We are grateful!

The sweetest miracles from God come in tiny packages.................







 Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Oh, Cindy - She's beautiful! Love all that hair. Our daughter had lots of dark hair when she was born and it always makes them look so chic! Congratulations, Grandma. What a precious blessing she is - and what a blessing you are (and will be) to her.

    This brought me to tears simply at the awesomeness of our God. OH, what a blessing this sweet baby girl is to your family....and obviously to me, and I'll probably never get to even meet her, but I'll surely keep up with her through her precious Nana. She is absolutely beautiful.

    Oh JOY!!! Bless everyone.
    She is beautiful. I cut my daughters hair the day we got home from the hospital. It was hanging down her neck. I I ate liver and onions and turnips greens from Morrison's quite often during my pregnancy and I always thought that was why she had so much hair. LOL!!
    I look forward to seeing many more pics of her. She is precious! Congratulations.

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...

{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...
