{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

{Romantic Dinner for Two}



Nothing like avoiding the hustle and bustle of the outside world and just enjoying a dinner for two at home outside with God's beauty for a special Valentine's dinner. 





 Nothing fancy or elaborate but a table for TWO is always romantic! 

I started us out with a simple appetizer than my man loves...stuffed mushrooms. I went with a two-cheese and garlic stuffing and needless to say...I AM SO GLAD I DID NOT FIX ANYMORE THAN THIS! YUM!


 Next came a simple salad made up romaine, carrots, celery, black olives and dressing.






Awe, then the main course...Chicken Alfredo over spaghetti squash noodles. YES, I do want you to have my recipe...You will love me for it later!

 And this bread in which my man loved.






 Nothing like ending the meal with chocolate covered strawberries

 A nice ending to a romantic dinner was followed by a little outside fire...

 With candles burning....





Yep...it surely suited us for a romantic dinner for two.





I will do a post with the recipe for the Chicken Alfredo with the spaghetti squash noodles soon. My new favorite is squash noodles!

Happy Valentine's Day Dear Friends.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy 

P.S. Thanks to so many that has wished me well wishes. I am doing MUCH better. I had a few setbacks from some side effects that I was having from medication but hopefully with the adjustment that has been made things will be looking up. God has been so merciful to me!

  15. Your dinner for two is making me hungry and it's too early to eat Chicken Alfredo. LOL! I had my first ever squash spaghetti noodles a few months ago and I honestly like it better than regular spaghetti noodles. The texture seems much lighter and oh my goodness much healthier. Glad you a feeling better. DO WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS!

  17. So wonderful to see a post up from you dear Cindy! I so agree about shutting out the hustle and bustle of the world and just having a quiet romantic evening for two as you did for your hubby last evening. And to have beautiful weather that you could do it outside just makes it all the better...especially with the fire and candles! We had our dinner at home last evening also. :-)

    Thank you for stopping by today and leaving a comment at the blog. It warmed my heart to see that you were by. I'm praying for you and hope that the adjustments in the medication will be what you need so you can feel more like yourself again. Slowing down a bit may help? :-)

    Hugs to you, Girlfriend,
    Dianna

  18. Your Valentine meal looked delicious AND romantic! We were invited over to our daughter's and SIL's last night so will be having our Valentine dinner tomorrow night. I think we'll have it outside, as well, since the weather here in MO is unseasonably warm. We've started eating more spaghetti squash, too, (J needs to watch his carbs now) and we're actually having it with my homemade marinara tonight! I'll be interested in your Alfredo sauce recipe. I'm so glad to hear you're starting to feel better. Good luck with the meds. You're in my prayers, Sweet Cindy!!

    1. Thanks so much. The dosage change on medication has helped. The trip just wasn't in the plan this time. God sees the big picture and all we see is what is right in front of us. So glad He is in control and not me!

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

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{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
