{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 ...

{Fall Is In The Air}

Y'all....it's actually felt a tad like FALL and I am soooooo HAPPY! I am ready for boots, sweaters and a bonfire! How about you? Are you wearing your boots and sweaters yet in your neck of the woods? Well, let's just say when the temp said 61 I GOT HAPPY enough to put on a pair of boots. LOL! You take what you can get in Florida!

 Here's a free printable for you from https://howtonestforless.com


Look at my sweet little pumpkins having so much fun....My grands have sure been enjoying some fallish treats already. Our community has a pumpkin patch every year that they enjoy and this year a few of my grands went to visit Roger's Farms in Gainsville, Fl. and had a ball.  



Our family has a fall party every year at my fatherinlove's home and the kids have a ball. We do parties the old fashion way. Lot's of food, desserts and drinks. Games galore and pumpkin carving.We were actually missing some of our kids this year but we still had a mess of em as my granny would have said. 



The kids love the fishing pond.





And this little gal was not afraid one bit to get her little hands inside that pumpkin. 
 

My oldest daughter and family

My middle daughter and family

I honestly love this picture. They dressed like Squints and Wendy Peffercorn from the Sandlot movie...a classic of all times! 

My youngest daughter and her family. Oh yes...FROZEN.....


Look at that baby's smile...oh my goodness! 



And meet Flo from Progressive insurance. 


We sure had a great time at our annual Family Fall party and it is always so much fun to dress up and have fun. Thanks for letting me share my family fun. 

 Here's another printable for those of you might be like me and love to give little food gifts to others during the holiday season. These are cute for Fall and you can write what you want to on the tag. Catch My Party always has the cutest little freebies.

I hope that you all have a blessed week and remember....

This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it. 
Psalm 118:24 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Another fun post exploding with cuteness!

    The Halloween costumes, especially Flo, made me smile. I'm still thinking of what to wear as a costume for work. It needs to be comfortable since I'll be wearing it all day.

      Margie, that was a good thing about the Flo getup...it was comfortable. Now that wig even with a wig cap started getting on my nerves but at least it was short term!

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...

{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...
