{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

{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?

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)

      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!

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 yard

{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

{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
