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...
And when I say Hunting I am talking about Whitetail deer hunting....LOL!
Me and man just recently went for a few days to do a little bow hunting. Yes, we're just regular old country hunter's and enjoy deer hunting together but there is just something about being out in nature and looking around at all that God has created. It just WOWS me!
I have several friends that will be recipient's of some of my thrifted items. I love it when you have friends that you can tell what you paid for something because you both are so proud that it was a DEAL! LOL! And, the funny thing is that when I looked at several of those items I knew exactly who would love them!

Yep, I look like a little boy with a pink camo backpack. Ha-ha!
But...there is just something about the peace and quiet in the woods. A time to meditate and reflect! Sometimes we just simply need to regroup!
But I must tell you that though I am a huntress...I don't go anywhere without my lipstick!!!
We truly do enjoy the outdoors...
However, I did take a little time to do some "Thrifting". And my man is so good to not complain and bless his heart...he will sit in the truck and wait till I return with my stash! YEP....I think he's a keeper!

I was very excited to find that wreath holder on the left at the top. 99 cents and it's adjustable. Oh yeah...this will be put to good use. Not quite sure what that thingy is on the left-bottom. I liked it because it looked rustic. My man said, "It looks rustic alright...it looks so rustic that it needs to be thrown away! LOL! I am always in need of an easel and the little flower pots I couldn't pass up. Three for 29 cents! I will be starting some seedlings and will be using them. Matter of fact when I returned home from hunting I found my collards that I planted from seeds sprouting like crazy...
And for those of you gals that are like me and love a good deal...I got all those little thrifted items for $7.50. YEPPERS!
The only thing better than sitting in a tree stand or ground blind while enjoying the outdoors is getting a text with a picture of this sweet grandgirl. She had her bath and was ready for bed but....she has found out that she can roll over and over and over....so...instead of sleeping that is what she done for a while! LOL!
Ooh...I can just kiss her lips off!
During my quiet time as I would pray and just mediate it seemed this was the scripture that was embedded upon my heart.

So thankful that our Lord has mercy and compassion for us daily! He is so very faithful!

I love all your thrift finds although, like you, I have no idea what that rustic thing is. It probably had a very handy use at one time. What a cutie. She will be rolling all over the place now. I love all those dark curls! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melanie. I think I am going to put a mason jar in that little ugly rustic thingy with fresh flowers! Yep, that sweet girl has our hearts for sure. Hope things are going well for you Miss Melanie.
DeleteCindy, you crack me up with your hunting. You are indeed a well rounded lady. You done good on the thrifty finds. That baby is precious. Sending you an email in a bit so be sure to check your email.
ReplyDeleteConnie Royals
Connie, I can sip tea out of a tea cup or I can climb in a tree stand...I can cdo either as LONG AS I HAVE MY LIPSTICK! LOL! Checking my email.
DeleteI'm going thrifting with Jess this afternoon.....so excited! One of these days I hope you and I can do that together! We would have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteOh you and Jess will have a blast. Can't wait to see what your goodies wind up being Deb. Oh yes...I would love to go with you thrifting! It would be so much fun!!!
DeleteI love, love, love the pic of the lipstick from your hunting trip!! A girl has to have the right equipment right?? And I am so impressed with your skills. A bow? Wow. I have a patient hubby too. Sometimes he'll walk around with me, sometimes he retreats to the car, but the drives together are great. ps- cute baby!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim for stopping by. Yes we love hunting together. But we do not sit in stands together as I have more patience than he does! LOL! Girl, I don't go anywhere without my lipstick!
DeleteCindy, what a post filled with blessings and happiness! Wonderful times outdoors with your dear man is awesome and yes, what a keeper! Waiting for you while you shop, that is amazing! Okay, that little one is just a little doll!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. Yes, we are crazy about that little doll too!
DeleteI'm not sure what that thingy is either, but I love it. I would probably put a canning jar with flowers in it! What great finds. My husband is not a hunter, but so many of our friends are. I kinda wish he was. He's "outgrown" or gotten too old to play basketball and other sports so he sticks to golf. I wish he had a hobby for the winter. It's coming soon. We live in the land of cotton all of lives and people came from the North to hunt on GA land.
ReplyDeleteYep, your right about the rustic thingy. I put a mason jar in it and it was so cute! Going to add some fresh flowers in there too. We enjoy hunting together. So glad you stopped by lady.
DeleteSuch a great time outdoors with the Mr. I don't go anywhere without my lipstick too~ What a sweet doll baby to melt hearts. Great finds too to share. Love the wreath holder and the price. thanks for your visit and sweet comment. Hugs back at you Cindy. Take care.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of girl...gotta have our lipstick!
DeleteWow Cindy. I am very impressed. You are one brave woman. And I also love that you carry your lipstick to such serious hunts. lol Your thrift finds are wonderful and what a steal.
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous photo of your little angel. So precious.
Janet
Thanks Janet. Yes our little angel is such a sweet girl. We adore her. And yes, I've got to have my lipstick. I looked in my backpack and had three tubes of lipstick that I forgot I even had! LOL!
DeleteOh, my...that baby is sooo adorable...being a great-grandmother, I know JUST how much you love her....
ReplyDeleteI played Bunco today with 11 great friends and afterwards, thrift shopping...I'll show ya in a post later...nothing much to write home about but one is pretty cute...love thrifting...
Can't wait to see what you got thrifting BJ. Sometimes it's those little things though that catches our eyes. I think that is why I like to thrift.
DeleteThis is all precious! The hunting, your lipstick, your thrifted items, that precious baby.
ReplyDeleteI love this:)
Hi Cindy, oh you look so cute in your camouflage outfit and sporting your lipstick. I am a girly girl and that would be me for sure.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you find the best treasures. The rustic item is for a canning jar I believe. Try and see if one fits. Your hubby is so nice to let you shop and wait. Mine does the same and I always feel so blessed when he waits for me or follows along and carries my goodies.
The little one is a doll baby. My oh My so adorable.
Have a great week. Blessings xo
You are right about the rustic thingy. I put a mason jar in it and it's perfect. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet words.
DeleteThrifting is my kind of "hunting".
ReplyDeleteYou scored big time with such a cutie grand daughter.
Thanks Christine.
DeleteOh that sweet baby! I love her hair!! You did very well at the thrift store, as usual!! Such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather. I did do pretty good thrifting this time. Wish I had of done as well hunting! LOL!
DeleteIsn't it amazing how thrift finds become treasures! I love thrifty shopping. I really enjoyed the hunting pictures, and you're right, we always have to have our lipstick!! Baby girl is getting big, she is so precious, love all that hair!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss Mary. Yes that gal is growing up too fast but oh is so precious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post1 Love the picture of you in your camo gear! I love a good hunt too but mine are just the vintage kind. I hit two barn sales today and wow! I am set for a while! I love the verse you chose....it is so true and in our troubled world we can lean on it.
ReplyDeleteAnnMarie, I like those vintage hunts too! Yes, the verse was one that seemed to keep coming to me that is for sure.
DeleteP.S. forgot to say what an adorable grandbaby you have!! I have a girlfriend that doesn't go anywhere without her lipstick...even to the ER for a heart attack!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. She is indeed a pretty thing! Love me some lipstick!
DeleteCindy, it is so nice when spouses have activities to do together. We will be going elk hunting next month but I will be in the fifth wheel sewing or knitting. LOL! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your granddaughter is a sweetie pie!
ReplyDeletexo Dianne
Thanks for stopping by to visit Dianne. Tell your man good luck on the elk hunting. Hope he gets a nice one. I am sure you will making something beautiful with your sewing and knitting too.
DeleteCindy, I love that you go hunting with your husband...my husband is a deer hunter and I have never been! Love all of your thrift find, but that granddaughter is a doll! Great is thy faithfulness...love this verse! Pam @ Everyday Living
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. I was raised up in hunting and we used to carry our girls hunting with us when young. Then I backed off a little from hunting as they got older and I needed to be with them for different things. But...when they all got grown and out on their own it was my time again to be with Marty and hunt when I could. We sure enjoy this hobby together. Speaking of that granddaughter, I plan to get lots of sugar off of her today!
DeleteNow I'd have to pass on the hunting but hanging out in the woods is a winner for sure. You and your husband do that together? That's so neat!
ReplyDeleteNothing like God's beautiful creation for sure Stacey. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteMy late beloved loved hunting and being in the outdoors. I enjoy the outdoorsy part! I loved seeing your pink camo backpack and your lipstick, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteYour thrifted items are so special for your friends and your hubby is truly a keeper. My hubby would do the same thing!
I could kiss your grand baby's lips off, too. What a doll! Happy weekend, Cindy!
Thanks Kitty. I am looking forward to another weekend of bow hunting soon. That sweet girl is indeed a doll baby.
DeleteYou are rockin that camo.
ReplyDeleteOh my, your sweet grandgirl has amazing hair.
Thanks for stopping by with you sweet comments. That sweet girl has not lost any hair. She is indeed going to have a head full I think. Speaking of camo. I am thinking seriously I need some more pink lipstick to go in my pink camo back pack! LOL!
DeleteCindy I was going to comment on allyour fun thrifting things and then I saw your little grandbaby and my heart melted. That's what life is all about. Having family all around and the love. Nothing else matters. Bless you and that little grand girl. She is absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. You are right...family is so important and I cannot imagine my life without my family.
DeleteCindy, you cute little huntress you! :) I don't hunt, but love being in the outdoors. A few years ago we walked some of the camino in Spain. Afterwards we showed photos to some of our relatives. My bil asked, "who is that boy/" ha, ha, it was me in my raincoat. Yup, we're just little tomboys. lol! That baby is one cutie, all of that heir, oh my! I can see why you want to kiss her lips off! You found some fun things. I too often pick up things I know my friends will like. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Jann that is so funny what Bill said. My girls tell me the same thing when decked out in camo and especially since my hair is short. But I love it!
DeleteWe're a hunting family, too, although I the one who does the cooking and washing instead of the hunting. They all say how they love being in the quietness of nature. Great finds and love that pic of your sweet grand girl. She's growing up fast!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. How's the house going? Hope to see more pictures soon.
DeleteI don't hunt, but I absolutely love my long walks in nature. Now thrifting, I absolutely love! Your granddaughter is absolutely precious, Cindy! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda for stopping by. We sure are enjoying our grandgirl No matter what kind of day you may be having her little smile will light up your world! Yes, I too enjoy thrifting and I love it that me and man enjoy hunting together. I appreciate you stopping by to see me today.
DeleteGreat finds!! And my goodness, your grand daughter is so sweet and love all that hair!! Thanks so much for visiting!!
