{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 ...

{Birthday, Basketball, and a Recipe for the BEST Choclolate Frosting EVER}

YUM....yes I think I would like one of those please..... Who doesn't like chocolate covered strawberries or a piece of milk chocolate candy? My granddaughter Mallory Grace just turned 12 years old and she asked me to bake her birthday cake. Just something simple....Chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate covered strawberries.  Ladies, how can a Nana turn that down? Her wish came true.... Best chocolate icing recipe ever! I will place recipe at the bottom. She's a gal after my own heart. She's a Jesus loving girl that enjoys hunting, travel ball, dressing up, makeup, jewelry and well, she loves about everything. My well rounded girl for sure. My FAVORITE grandson...yes, he's my only grandson, plays basketball. Well, he likes all sports and one doesn't end before he's playing another sport. We sure enjoy watching him play whatever sport he's in. And, I took some time out for ME! A beautiful sun set sitting i...

{Good Times and Making Memories}

I am much later posting this week than usual but my mercy has time just seemed to get away from me here lately. Better late than never...right? In honor of Veterans Day I just want to thank all of those that have served or is still serving our country in the military. I have quite a few military hero's in my family. My grandfather and brother served in the Navy. One of my Soninlove's served in the Marines. My uncle served in the Air Force and I have a nephew currently serving in the Navy. My utmost thanks and gratitude stands.  My granddaughter Kyleigh was part of a Veterans day program at her school this past Friday and it was truly heart touching.   She's the cute little girl with the red top, glasses and smiling. Those kids sang their little hearts out and all our military was honored, past and present. It was truly a very special time.   My oldest and first born grandchild went to a Fall Ball recently. I can't believe she i...

{It's Been A Wonderful Weekend}

I enjoyed some time in the great outdoors with my granddaughter Mallory over the weekend.Our family enjoys deer hunting together but there's just something special when you and your grandgirl can celebrate a harvest together!  Me and the grandgirl downed some nice bucks in those old Georgia pines on Saturday morning. YEP, we showed the men folk how it's done! It was a perfect morning to sit in a tree stand with a brisk 36 degrees. My kind of hunting weather and perfect for coffee in my Georgia thermos.  Speaking of Georgia....the day even got BETTER!   Two nice bucks harvested and my Georgia Bulldogs took the win.  The guys stayed at the camp but me and the grandgirl stayed at a hotel. And, just because we were out hunting didn't mean we couldn't enjoy some of the finer things in life. Oh yeah, I had those cute little cups wrapped tightly in my suitcase along with hot chocolate, cookies, and well....LOTS OF GOODIES! Boy, our God sure is a w...
