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
Easter has passed and all my Easter decor has been put up for another year. I only decorated in my kitchen and dining area this year so it wasn't too bad getting it put back up. Though I must admit that I miss my pastel tablescape. But, time to move on. My little birds and faux greenery with that cute pitcher made its way to my little bench.
I just love my little teapot and the cup and saucer was gifted to me one summer so I was glad to display some of my favorite things in my little corner chair.
My planter took center stage on my table that my daughter Melissa gave me. I have Swedish ivy in small pots in the planter. I have clippings from it and rooting them now. I did stick a few faux baby breath in it just to serve as a filler. Plant smiles and harvest love really says it all. We can all do that, right? But that was as far as I got I am afraid. Maybe I can get a tablescape done this week.
These two cuties got a surprise this week. Their daddy brought them home six little chicks. They were so surprised.
Look at her cute little expression when she saw the little chicks! PRICELESS! And they all six have the same name by the way. TACO! LOL!
The first grandchild to call me Nana celebrated her Sweet 16th birthday. And she is indeed SWEET! She is smart, talented, creative, and a Jesus loving young lady and that I am more proud of than anything! Her birthday bash didn't go exactly like we had planned due to the change we are experiencing in history but God's plans aren't our plans and His ways aren't ways. However, her special birthday did not go unnoticed. We are very proud of her and I am so honored that God chose me to be her Nana. Just can't believe she's 16!
In closing today I would like to share this scripture with you. It seems to sure be popping up a lot lately so felt someone might need to read it today. I pray your week is wonderful and that all is well with you and your families.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Cindy, hi! You've served up heaping helpings of joy and beauty and love today. It makes me smile just being here.
ReplyDeleteBless you!
Love the pictures! Will they be eating those chicks later? God is our peace!
ReplyDeletePeace is my word for the year.
Thanks. No Susan...for the eggs.
DeleteWhat sweet pics of the little ones with the chicks! And your teen granddaughter is beautiful! What a blessing they are....mine too! Take care and stay healthy!
ReplyDeleteI have a indie theme going on since I took Easter decor down, too, Cindy. Your little girls and your 16 year old Raygen are just beyond darling. No, we are not in control, but we do have Faith in who is. The ending verse is perfect. Have a great week, my friend. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks Kitty.
DeleteGrow giggles, priceless. Happy Birthday to your granddaughter, Cindy. I don't have any themes going on, actually, I have one theme, its in my brain though; have.to.move.out.of.NY.state. That's where I am...trying to find jobs from Maine to TN, but you know, everything is closed due to the virus.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in prayer, friend. smiles
Girl, praying for you too.
DeleteHappy Sweet Sixteen to a sweet young lady. I can see why you're a proud Nana. Baby girls are so precious holding their chicks, now were they holding Taco One and Taco Two?? lol Such a great scripture for this time, He certainly didn't give a us a spirit of fear. I am cautious, but I am not fearful. Sending you a ((hug)) across the miles!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss Mary. One of my favorite scriptures is 2nd Timothy 1:7.
DeleteSuch cute gran girls, the littles and the big. I'm so over this isolation and trying to be patient but it sure gets hard some days. Hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lea. We are all doing fine and trying to stay focused.
DeleteWhat beautiful children (big and little). The chicken 'greeting' by your grandgirl is my favorite picture though. lol I didn't do anything for Easter because we had just moved...sigh...next year. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh I know you will have something going next Easter. I am sure you will be glad when the dust has settled.
DeleteYour sweet granddaughters and their new chicks are just the dose of cuteness that I need!
ReplyDeleteAwe...they are in love with their new chicks.
DeleteCindy I always love seeing your corner chair decorated for each season, so cute! Adorable littles with the chicks all named Taco😂. Raygen is a beauty and Happy 16th birthday to her. Wishing you a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam. Taco (s) are gonna be loved chicks for sure.
DeleteYour Spring decor is so pretty. I especially like the planter with the ivy. And that cute birdie in the first picture...I have the same one but in white.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine how absolutely thrilled the little girls were with the chickies. I would be too!!
Thank you GM. I love ivy.
DeleteThose little chicks! I bet that brought lots of smiles. The first grandchild really does set the pace for what your name will be! She's lovely, Cindy, and she's becoming quite a lady.
ReplyDeleteYes and I always wanted to be called Nana but I am sure that whatever she would have chosen to call me I would have answered too. LOL.
DeleteI'm so ready for Spring and your post today is just what I needed to read! Plants, chicks, Spring decor and a special birthday!! Thanks for sharing your happy world, Cindy!! Zenda
ReplyDeleteThanks Zenda.
DeleteThe kids are so cute with their chicks! I still have my Easter decor up..I like it! :)
ReplyDeleteI miss my pretty pastels. But this green sure is making me smile and feel refreshed.
DeleteYour spring decor is adorable and your message is perfect! I put away all my Easter things in a hurry, one Easter I know we will all remember! I feel sorry for all the teens that are missing parties, proms and graduations, not to mention sports and recitals...at least your granddaughter has her sweet family to surround her! Those chicks are too cute!
ReplyDeleteJenna
My heart breaking for all the kids that are missing out too.
DeleteCindy, what a sweet surprise for the girls receiving baby chicks. The girls are adorable.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe your oldest is sweet sixteen! She is beautiful!
Thank you for the comforting scripture.
I would love to have a cutting from your Swedish ivy. It reminds me of my mother. She had a lot of hanging baskets on her porch.
Have a great week.
Thanks Bonnie. I can't believe she is 16 too!
DeleteGood Morning sweet Cindy. This post is a bright shine in my day today. Love the surprise, joy and love you shared. The little baby chicks and the expression on your grands face is adorable. Happy Tuesday. Have a wonderful week.
