{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...

{Whoopie, Whoopie, Whoopie}


I found a whoopie pie pan at AC Moore and since I had a coupon for 55% off one regular item I decided to buy it.  Now I didn't exactly make mine like the like the ones shown...I did doll them up a bit. 


I made too much butter cream icing so hey, why not use it, right? 


How about a little salted caramel? 


Chocolate chips always makes a good topping don't ya think?


Found me two cute fish plates. I just had to have them for 50 cents each. Perfect for two! 

 
Who needs a meal after this appetizer?  


I drug out my trusty electric roaster and roasted and a couple of chickens. It's great for cooking in large quanities. I guess the last time I used it was in the summer while at the beach. I made a pulled pork in it. 


I made a baked chicken fettuccine casserole with my roasted chicken and it was sooooo good! I also made a dear friend a pan for her birthday. Just can't go wrong with chicken!


Despite the heat I still have beautiful flowers blooming.




The grass may wither and the flowers fade but one thing is for sure my friends, the Word of God will stand forever! AMEN!

And I don't think I need to say much about this picture....Hee-hee!

 Have a good week! 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    I sooooo wish I could have a whoopie pie with you, Cindy! Your chickens, casserole and appetizers look awfully scrumptious, too. Your little grand girl is the cutest thing! I had my little Harper here for two nights and she was so happy to be here. My son said that she wouldn't "shut up about" coming to Nana's house. Don't they make us happy?
    May you have a wonderful week, my friend!

    That is the cutest picture ever of that grandgirl! Made me smile and laugh! I wish I had one of those whoopie pies Cindy. Your flowers still look pretty. I have battled with my flowers due to heat and not watering them like I should. Yep with an appetizer like that who needs a meal.

    What fun you've had with the whoopie pan! I've never seen one, but yours look absolutely scrumptious! I haven't made them in years, in fact thanks for the reminder, I may need to make some! Love the chicken and casseroles you made, they look so wonderful too, and how wonderful that you had enough to share a pan with a friend! What a blessing! Glad your flowers are still blooming, mine are hanging in there too. Hugs to you today :)

      Thanks Marilyn. With this storm brewing not so sure those flowers will last much longer. It's either lack of water or too much water.

    I made "Moon Pies" for after the eclipse.
    Moon Pies and Woopie Pies are very much the same.
    With so many food allergies in our family (Gluten Free, Dairy intolerant, sugar free, it was hard to come up with a recipe.
    Yours look delicious!!!

    Your little grandgirl is simply adorable, to eat her with kisses! My youngest is about her age too and I miss her so much, she lives in Madrid.
    Enjoy her all you have her with you.
    We've been praying for Flo., Texas and all the other places it passed by doing so much damage. I hope you and your family are safe and well.

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...
