{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...

{Flipflops, Friends and Fellowship}

What a fun time... Flip flops, Friends and Fellowship ! Several of us ladies got together from our ladies ministry team and had a great time.  Our hostess was the best! She welcomed us into her beautiful home and made everyone feel "right at home"...flip flops and all! Don't you just love her festive summer wreath? This was the first time I've ever walked into someones home with a coconut tree! WE ALL LOVED IT!  I felt like I was in Hawaii.  Such a cute table setting. Everything was a beach theme and went so well with the theme of our social. Nuts and mints filled these flip flops! Rainbow punch, lemonade and water.  I made us a flip flop cake. I took the leftover cake (that did not have icing on it) and froze it. I see a truffle coming in the near future. And some sand pudding. Which my family loved too! Edible sunglasses. Ooh...the salted caramel was my favorite.  Look at these cute flip flops! Love t...

{July 4th Tablescape}

 I decided to go ahead several weeks ago and do a little 4th of July tablescape so I could actually enjoy it. But...here July 4th is right around the corner and I feel like I have just put my dishes out!!! Half of 2016 is gone!!! Can you believe that? Found this cute basket at Walmart and spray painted it red. Also found the cute flowers there as well. Simple but cute centerpiece .  Don't you just love using little boxes for things? They are so versatile. I always love the opportunity to use my red dishes when I can.    Simple centerpiece on a burlap runner.  I wanted to incorporate my grandmother's cups and saucers into the red, white and blue theme for July 4th. Worked out great with my red chargers from Hobby Lobby and my white plates which was either a yard sale or thrift store purchase I can assure you. (LOL)   YEP really simple... I forgot I had made this cute little wreath last year but I'm glad I found i...

{Show and Tell}

Aren't the colors just beautiful? I love flowers that have that pinkish coral color to them.  Just a few closeups of my purple and pink Hydrangeas.  We had a great Friday night and Saturday with these two gra ndbabies. Friday night they had their singing, piano and guitar recital and then on Saturday.....W e kept them busy shucking corn, picking squash, peppers, working outside and inside...and well....I can assure you they slept good that night! They are such good help too!  Look at his face....YEP...think he's just a tad dirty! My rosemary is looking good and oh it smells so good. Do you see my new friend on the right hand side of the bucket?  Remember this cute set of mini pans I bought at a yard sale last week? Well the grandgirl decided to bake up some little cakes using them.  We decided instead of doing a filling we would do a topping.  These little mini cakes had my whole house smelling so goo...
