{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...

{Living the Good Life} and WINNER of "Gideon book"

Ooh don't you just love pretty nail polish? I do for sure. I have several boxes full of different colors of nail polish so my grandgirl Mallory picked out a few colors and placed them in the basket. But it wasn't to do my nails ....instead.... M y FEET! My grandgirl Mallory loves to do a pedi and this Nana was thrilled when she wanted to do a pedi for me! She brought her little foot spa over to my house and she got everything ready for me to lounge my tired footsies in.  And I must say.... I absolutely enjoyed every moment of it too! And let me just tell ya....she does an AWESOME foot massage.  The cutest thing was that the lotion she used to massage my feet with is called GRACE . Well that is her middle name...Mallory Grace. So...she tells me that they have a lotion named after her so it must be really good!!! I let her pick out the color she wanted to use. She picked a coral color and then she spotted a bottle of sparkles she neede...

{Simple Beach Tablescape} and Giveaway!

It's time for a beach tablescape! Well I am going to go ahead and confess that I am more of your mountain kind of gal and in the winter months but there is just something about the beach that calls my name..... I started out with a centerpiece with some mason jars! You just gotta love a mason jar! I actually bought this at AC MOORE and you can use it for so many different things. It came with chalkboard tags to use if you wanted too. Just a few seashells and some flowers and I was good to go.  I love these plates I bought from Walmart. They are so summery looking. Found the cute place mats at the Dollar Tree.  I couldn't believe I found the color of blue I was looking for with the stainless steel flatware at Walgreen's.   And it was on SALE !!!! My kind of purchase! It didn't take me long to come up with a simple tablescape with the pretty blues, greens and yellows. And these goblets will always be my favorite to use. I had to hunt...
