{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

{Five Random Facts About Me} And a Few Pictures.

Several of my facebook and blogging friends join in on {random facts} at times and it always fun to learn something new about them. It is funny though at how we can know someone forever and learn something new about them and think; "why I never knew that". Thought it would be fun to share a few random things about me. Would love to hear your answers as well.  Web Image 1: What is something that you try to keep on hand in your pantry if possible? My answer: Well, basic staples for sure but something that comes to mind is Pasta . Our church has a committee that helps to feed the families of members that has passed away at our church the day of the funeral service. It is a great and wonderful ministry.  I'm on the salad team. So, I always try to keep pasta handy for a pasta type salad when called upon. Most often we only know a day before the food item is needed so having boxes of pasta helps out. I have made every kind of pasta salad that you can imagine for ou

{ A Bit Of This And A Tad Of That}

Isn't this plate just adorable? I helped to host a bridal shower over the weekend and the Bride to Be gave all of the hostesses this gift. I love it. What a thoughtful gift. After Sunday dinner some of my crew gathered outside and we painted pumpkins. The kids had so much fun.    The smiles on those faces....Melts a Nana's Heart... This is our staff at the church where I have been the Administrative Secretary for 20 plus years.  As most of my friends know I work and minister at a church but I am a member of another church, sister church,  where I worship, teach and serve. I've always said I've had the best of both worlds as many do not have the opportunity to have two church families.
