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...
Isn't that cutest rug ever? Found it at Ross for $5. YEP...FIVE BUCKS!
My daughter and I carried this sweet girl to the Fairytale and Princess Play that was at our local high school. She loved it. Lots of singing with milk and cookies. Pictures galore! Nana loved every minute of it too!
This girl cracks me up! She is so full of energy! When she comes to my house she is wide open! Within 45 minutes we had a tea party on the front porch, played dress up with hats in the grands play room, had pop sickles,went swinging, picked flowers, and colored. I wish I had just a tad of her energy.
We went to do a little shopping recently and to get the baby's ear's pierced. She done so good actually. Done me worse than her!
Lollipop to the rescue! She now has her very first diamonds.
Ears pierced, out to eat and shopping. Such a fun day with the girls.
And I managed to slip off for a very short trip to sit in the midst of some Georgia pines to hunt. No harvest for me but I sure did enjoy God's beautiful creation, the quietness, and the cool brisk air. Of course before I got back to the Florida line I was rolling up my sleeves!
I stopped at a Salvation Army on my way to Georgia and found another Biscotti Jar. I was so excited and especially since it was only $2.99. I love those jars. I need to do a vignette with the four I have now.
Found this cute little pillow for 79 cents. Has a small rip in the seam on one side but nothing I can't stitch up.
I hope that you have a good week and enjoy each moment that you can making memories with those you love the most. Memories....ONE DAY THEY WILL KEEP YOU COMPANY.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
There is nothing that puts a smile on my face faster than seeing your little grandgirls. The older one seems to have grown so fast in such a short time and her little sister seems to be the spitting image of her. My favorite photo is of you holding the two of them. Girls day out is the best!!
ReplyDeleteAwe thanks Mary for your sweet words. Yes that baby looks just like her sister when she was born. Now the older one's hair has lightened up so much. We sure do enjoy them for sure. So glad you came by.
DeleteEnjoyed the pictures of your sweet family. Oh that baby now has diamonds. How precious! Oh my! I need to go to Ross now! Love that rug Cindy. My cousin, Jean, loves Bicotti jars too. I bet she has at least 10. But she has spent some big dollars on hers. Loved all the pictures and yes, making memories is the best.
ReplyDeleteConnie Royals
Thanks Connie. Yes, my daughter spotted the rug and showed it to me so I grabbed it. Well, you know I am thrifty---cheap----LOL! I was shocked to see how how much people sell those biscotti jars for and what some of them are worth. Yes that baby girl has some pretties in those ears now.
DeleteOh that rug is too cute to walk on. LOL. I love it. All the girls in your family are so very pretty...including you. Oh little bitty ears. ouch. She seems very interested in the lollipop, so that helps. Oh yes Cindy, bottle us some of that energy. :):) Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI know Susie! I thought "I ought to frame this instead". LOL!Awe..yes, that gal has some energy for sure. Thanks for your sweet words.
ReplyDeleteI do love that rug. I love anything with pumpkins or old trucks!! What a fun day out with the girls and ear piercing! The princess show looked adorable. Those kids are keeping you young!
ReplyDeleteKeeping me young...well not sure about that but they will keep you laughing, praying and busy! LOL! And I wouldn't have it any other way. Yes I love those old trucks too Heather. Wish I had a real one sitting in my yard to look at!
DeleteThose grands are the cutest and I love the new earrings!!! GREAT find on the biscotti jar...gorgeous! Honey, you are some kinds of brave going to the woods to hunt...the only hunting I do is in the mall! ;-) Love and hugs!!
ReplyDeleteLOL Benita on the hunting in the mall. Oh girl, I love the peace and quiet at times. Yes, her little earrings are the cutest. Of course neither of those two sisters has a "want" for jewelry. Their other grandmother owns a jewelry store. Got a feeling baby sister will be getting some new earring about Christmas. LOL!
DeleteOh, you and your girls are soooo cute and I know you must have so much fun. I enjoy the one daughter I have and can't really imagine having 3. Have a super week Cindy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lea. I can't imagine not having three girls. LOL! They keep life interesting for sure. Thanks for dropping by dear lady.
DeleteSuch a precious posting! I enjoyed all those photos and you are just the sweetest!!
ReplyDeleteYou find some great deals!! Our area doesn't treat us to good pricing unfortunately.
Bless you ♡
Thanks Debbie. Yes, I have shopped several Thrift stores that I refused to pay what they asked! CRAZY! But every now and then I luck up!
DeleteLooks like you all had tons for shopping fun! Those earrings are so cute, looks like you have another princess on your hands! Grammy got to watch little Jack last evening while his momma and daddy went out to celebrate their anniversary. It was just for a couple of hours but Jack and I did great and I think it was a fun time away for the parents, Poor Papa had a meeting and couldn’t help. He’ll get his turn soon, I’m sure. 😉. Have a blessed week, dear Cindy!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, princess for sure. I bet you were just beside yourself watching little Jack for a few hours. How precious. I know that you are enjoying every single moment of being a Grammy!
DeleteOh, sweet friend, God has so abundantly blessed you! You can just see the joy in all of your faces, and your pictures speak volumes of a tight knit, loving family that takes such delight in being together. Those baby girls are such doll babies! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us here! Sending many hugs and much love your way today. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl. You are always so sweet with your kind words. And I could not have said it better, "We do take delight in being together". I am learning all the more that it seems that itself is far and few between in families. Thanks for coming by.
DeleteLove, love, love the paper towels. Those are so cute. Looks like you and the girls had a great time. They are so adorable. Love your smile.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Pam, I think you meant the rug. It sorta does look like a paper towel though. If I had a roll of paper towels that looks that good I probably wouldn't use them! LOL!
DeleteWhat a sweet little Snow White! Love your finds. I have found amazing things at a thrift store. The run is adorable! Have a great day, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melanie. Yes, I too have found some great treasures and then again nothing. But isn't that what shopping is all about? LOL!
DeleteOh what wonderful times you have been having with those precious girls. And that little one didn't look like she was one bit upset to have holes poked in her ears! What a little trooper!. I'm so glad you made it through the storm OK. Hurricane season cannot be over soon enough! And that biscotti jar...what a find!! Enjoy the rest of your week, sweet friend!♥
ReplyDeleteShe cried for just a second Debby. Of course that good old sucker was the trick. We learned that little trick a long time ago! Praise the Lord we only had a little rain and just a tad of wind. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week and so glad your POWER came back on!
ReplyDeleteAnother fun outing with the grandkids!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you when I heard about Hurricane Michael hitting Florida and Georgia. I guess you weren't in the path of the Hurricane?
Thank you ! Things were looking rough in the beginning but we winded up with actsd of rain and wind . Praise the Lord . But I’ve been praying f for all those affected .
DeleteSuch cute bargain finds Cindy! You have so much fun with your girls, and I know what you mean about their energy, oh to have so much!!!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Thanks Jenna. Oh I need some of that energy! Dragging today! Ha!
DeleteAs a Grandma I am always conscious of making memories for my grandkids. I have wonderful ones of my Ga and I only had her till age 12. Your pictures are always so endearing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann Marie. Enjoyed your recipe!
ReplyDeleteGotta love that adorable princess.
ReplyDeleteWe surely do that's for sure.
DeleteOh my goodness, those precious babies are growing! Enjoyed all the pictures of your beautiful girls - daughters and granddaughters!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Miss Mary.
DeleteThat's the cutest fall rug...and only $5. That's even better! Hey, you could use the Biscotti jars as canisters since you have 4. Your girls are all so beautiful...including you! HOPE you're neck is better and you're back to normal. Happy Wednesday, Sweet Friend.
ReplyDeleteI know Deb. I grabbed that rug right up in a hurry! LOL! Yes, I could use those jars for canisters. Thanks for your sweet compliment my friend. Neck? Well....much better, manageable at this point. But I can tell you now I DISLIKE Arthur! He is not on my good list! LOL!
DeleteCindy, every time I read your posts, they put a smile on my face. I love that you give the Lord the glory. Thank you and don't ever stop posting.
