{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...

{Fall Tablescape and Happy Anniversary To Us}


I finally got a little "Fall" going on y'all and set my table for Fall.  Don't you just love that sweet mixing bowl? I spotted it at TJ Maxx and I knew it would be perfect for a Fall Centerpiece.


Remember these chargers I showed to you in my last post? They will be used a lot I am sure.


The flowers I bought recently really turned out cute for napkin rings and yes, that would be a piece of candy you see in that plate. LOL! 
 

 Each place setting had a piece of that good Ghirardelli chocolate. I had the chocolate mints and the Caramel chocolate but decided that the dark chocolate would be (healthier) right?????? And of course I put those out so my sweet family that eats dinner with me each Sunday after church could enjoy. And to get rid of that chocolate in my house!!!!


I love the simplicity of this Fall tablescape.


I think I found those cute metal baskets holding the candles at Walmart and there was only two left on the shelf so I grabbed them. Perfect too for a Farmhouse Fall Table.
 

A thrifted curtain served as a table topper on top my white tablecloth and I really like how the greens all meshed so well together with the plates and decor.
 

Yep, suits me just fine and I am just thankful I managed to get it done! This 95 degree weather was NOT humming FALL but dang....It will be Christmas before I know it so decided I might best get FALLISH!


And....Happy 42nd wedding anniversary to us! So many years ago we stood at the alter in a little white church, in which is a much larger church all these years later because that is where we go to church....and we said I DO! God has surely been amazing to us! Through bad times and good times. Through thick and thin. But that's the most awesome thing about Jesus y'all....He never leaves us nor forsakes us and He is ALWAYS there for us....Through it all....


From that union came these three beauties.

And those gals each gave us a soninlove. They added height to our short family too. LOL!


And the next thing we knew we had some grandbabies! Oh my goodness! Life just gets sweeter and sweeter.


God has surely been a good, good father.


And for those of you that have sent me messages asking how my weekend of bow hunting went, well, isn't this just a pretty view? Sitting in a tree stand surely has a way of calming the soul, body and mind and oh the creation of God is spellbound.


And yep...I harvested a deer on the very first day of opening bow season which was September 14. Matter of fact I think I might be going back about this weekend.

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and enjoy a piece of chocolate! 

 Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Happy Anniversary, Cindy!

    I'm admiring your beautiful fall table. I would enjoy the yummy dark chocolate with a cup of hot tea--the hot drink magnifies the taste of the chocolate!

    Well, everything just looks so lovely! I saw that pitcher in TJ Maxx today and thought it was so pretty. You are such a good Mother, cooking Sunday lunch for your kids every Sunday. Oh, my! Hubby and I eat out every Sunday and we take the kids out with us about once a month. Shame on me! A beautiful family resulted from that marriage 42 years ago. Blessings!

    Such a beautiful fall table!! Makes me want to get my stuff out and enjoy them now that I am almost unpacked...well mostly. What is getting unpacked for now anyway, and my plastic tubs of fall decor are sitting right beside me waiting for me to open them and get them out...so I guess I'd better. So happy for you and your hubby celebrating 42 years!! What a blessing! I love that picture from your treestand...and that you actually got a deer first day out. You'll be enjoying some good venison this winter. You are an amazing woman...and so blessed with such a beautiful family!! God is SO good, isn't He? Yes, He is a good good Father...yes He is...!

    You’ve set a lovely table! It doesn’t seem much like Fall here in MO but, you’re right, Christmas will be here soon so let’s get our autumn decor out! Happy anniversary to you and your lucky hubby! Your family is a true blessing! ❤️ I’d like you to keep J and I in your prayers as we have the opportunity to travel to Israel and Palestine the first of October. I’m so excited but a little apprehensive at the same time. Can’t wait to share our experiences. I know God will be with us and can’t wait to see what he wants us to see! Talk to you when we return!

    Congrats on the deer. I think it is cool women can do that, I am just not one of them!! And Happy Anniversary! Beautiful family, your daughters are just so pretty. Loving the table. I actually did a little something in the tray on my table but, that is about as far as it will go. I am healing more and more each day from losing mom but holidays, just not there yet.

    Cindy I love that you all get together for a family dinner after Church each week. That is a beautiful tradition that is quickly fading with the new generation. I love all the family pictures. Your three girls and their hubbys and your grand children are all beautiful. Cherish moments caught in your beautiful pictures. Love it. Happy Anniversary wow 42 years that is amazing and wonderful. So many gifts of blessings through the years.

    First let me wish you a Happy Anniversary before I get busy bragging on your fall table. I love your family pictures.
    Your fall tablescape is very cute. I think you will use those metal baskets for many tables. I have wanted some chargers like yours too. Your centerpiece bowl is perfect for fall and will look great on your counter if you want a change.
    I agree the fall temperatures are not here yet. But maybe soon!
    Blessings to all of you. You have a beautiful family.

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...
