{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

{It's Getting That Time Again and Simply Curious}

Well, Bow season is around the corner and I am getting ready! Marty and I made a quick over night trip to ride around in the old Georgia pines and it sure gave me an itching to get my camo out. I done a little target practicing with my bow so I am READY ... We stopped by Carroll's Sausage and Country Store on our way home. Reminds me a little of Cracker Barrel with their decor. In which I did have me some breakfast at Cracker Barrel too. Their specialties there is no doubt their meats but oh do they have tons of other goodies. Yep, we came home with several goodies.    Since Football is getting started they had these specialty grills to sell. Well, it didn't strike my fancy at all...especially when I saw the price! Marty thought he needed a snack so he grabbed some meat and cheese sticks. The meat sticks was a tad spicy for me but he loved them. We did stop and do a little shopping and I found another e.l.f. product I am going to try. ...

{Tried and True and Tibits}

I haven't shared a "tried and true" lately so decided it was time. I enjoy hearing from others about different things they have tried and really like or loved. Of course I am one of those people that REVIEW everything...maybe a little too much, so it's great to see what others have tried and it has proven to be true.  I love a lot of the e.l.f. products and I really like the HD Powder in translucent. I ordered my last one from Amazon as I was ordering several things but you can get e.l.f. products at Walmart. Target usually has a better selection. Depends on where you buy it to the cost but I don't think I have ever paid more than $6 for the powder. I love the light feel of it. It doesn't come with a puff to apply but that doesn't matter to me because I use a brush to apply anyway. It does not make your face shine and the coverage is good enough for me.  It comes in several shades but I use the translucent. I really like the e.l.f. face ...

{Perm Rods, 4-Wheeler and Grands }

Well no, I didn't give myself a perm but I sure remember many a day of getting a perm. Oh my granny was in her prime giving us girls those home perms! I keep several of my grandgirls on Monday nights and Tuesdays during the summer months so recently my 11 year old grandgirl Mallory spotted a zip lock bag with these perm rods under my bathroom sink and naturally inquired, "WHAT IS THIS NANA?" . The fun began! No we didn't use a perm solution but boy did we have fun! Needless to say she wasn't THRILLED at all with the perm look. She recently got braces and when I took those perm rods out of her hair I couldn't help but laugh and think, "Child, you look just like you stepped out of the 80's". Those perm rods actually belonged to my granny and they surely brought back many memories. I kept this sweet girl one day last week too and oh is she BUSY .  We done everything you could imagine.    We had a "baby tea party...
