{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...

{I'm Gonna Be a Beach Bum}

If Dorothy can click her heels together and get to Kansas then I can click my flip flops together and get to the beach!!! RIGHT?

Web Image


I'm anticipating some sand on my toes...
Web Image


A comfy chair and book in my hand...I bought me a new book to read and I hid it from myself so I wouldn't go ahead and read it! (Now to find it)

Web Image

Every now and then I will walk along the beach and pick up some sea shells...

Web Image

And when I'm tired of that I will stroll into the water and splash around (But I won't be going up into the Shark's house I can assure you) 

My image

Then I will casually walk back to this cute little cottage we will be staying at NEXT WEEK!

Enjoying the beach decor...

I will sit here at this cute little table for breakfast cause my man likes to cook breakfast...
(for me that might be brunch)

Or maybe we will eat out here...

      I am so ready to get away for a few days. I think we all need that from time to time. I went through airbnb and so glad I did. Trusting sight for sure and no more pricier than anywhere else. I rather deal with owners directly. Can't wait to share with you next week as I hope to snap a few pictures. Thanks for stopping by my friend.

      Thanks my friend. I saw your beach post! WOW! What a great time you had. I know you will enjoy the mountains as well. I love the mountains but in the winter months if possible. I just like the cool brisk mornings with a cup of coffee sitting on the porch over looking the mountains. But....I will take the beach next week too! LOL!

    What a nice vacation spot! I love it. You are going to have so much fun just in the house much less the beach when it is not so crowded since most schools have started. Can't wait to hear and see more of your getaway.
    I would love to meet you sometime, Cindy. I think we could talk for hours. Your comment to me today was so nice. Thanks so much. You made my day!

      Awe Bonnie, I would love to meet you as well. My first blogging friend I ever got to meet and spend a little time with was Debbie from Breathing in Grace. We have become such special friends over the years. Maybe the Lord will open a door for us! Yes, the house looks adorable. It's always nice to have a different scenery every now and then for sure. When I grow up Bonnie I hope to do tablescapes like you my friend!

    I know you have been wanting to go to the beach for a few days. Good for you! The cottage looks so cute. Sounds like the perfect time to go to the beach too as this time of the year people start gearing back up for school and have already been on their vacations for the summer. Don't get too much sun!

    Cindy, I can see you there already with a nice beverage in your hand and relaxing by the beach. I hope the weather is perfect for you because where I am it is so hot we have to go early in the morning for our swim and then hide for the rest of the day. Of course in such a beutiful cottage that wouldn't be a probelem for you. Have a great vacation.

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...
