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...
Well who doesn't like sprinkles with pancakes and sausage? My grandgirls sure did! My five grandgirls spent the night with us recently and there wasn't a dull moment for sure.
From cheer skills, watching Frozen 2, to playing with papa's face...we done it all.
All the aprons was brought out and cake baking began.
Of course you can't bake a cake or make icing without licking the beaters.
And, I tried to get my one and only favorite grandson to come too but I don't think he wanted to be around all the chit-chatting and squealing. LOL!
Marty and I dug up the last of our potatoes. We have enjoyed them so much.
My daughter snapped this picture of my grandgirl Kyleigh doing zoom with her friends for the first time. Just priceless! She misses all of her friends at church and school. There are lots of folks that social distancing (I am actually sick of this phrase) isn't bothering but our Kyleigh is a lot like her nana....

I am hoping that you along with your families are coping through these times of uncertainty concerning COVID. Seems that is the major topic of conversation these days. So many afraid of what is yet to come or what may happen when things begin to somewhat resemble what we were all accustomed too. To be honest, I am not sure about anything but one thing and that is that the Word of God promises me that He will never leave me nor forsake me and I am trusting Him for that.
Praying you all have a great week and remember.......
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

DeleteSprinkles for breakfast, fun, fun fun! Loved the little one licking the beaters, I still lick the beaters too. Good to see everyone well and enjoying life!!
ReplyDeleteYep, gotta lick the beaters for sure Miss Mary.
DeleteOh how wonderful that you could enjoy your beautiful grandgirls all together in one place! What a blessing! Your grandson now deserves a special weekend by himself with his grandpa and Nana. Some fishing and/or hunting or something "manly". I wish I could be one of your little grand-girls! I never really got to know my grandmothers all that well. One lived in Ohio and we were in Florida, and when we did go visit she was sick and not able to "play" with us. I wish I could have spent more time with her, but she died when I was 15. My other grandmother lived about 10 miles from us, and we were together for all holidays, but she was not a real "hands-on" grandmother. And I was too much to handle anyway. But when I grew up we did find we had more in common..we both loved tea and birds and she seemed to confide in me in little ways...so I feel like that made up for lost time. She died when I was probably about 34. My baby doll "Elva" is named after her, because she was adopted and we don't know anything else about where she came from. I'm still trying to find out. Whew, be quiet, Pam! Enough of this. I enjoyed your post and it surely brought up my dreams about my grandmothers. I am doing more ancestry research now on both of them, so they are on my mind. Okay, enough already. I loved your post. Just wish I had more time with my grandmothers. And I don't have any granddaughters...just one grandson who is 20 and 1500 miles away. Okay, bye for now before I start boo hoo ing. Love you and I love your posts.
ReplyDeleteOh Pam. Girl, I was so blessed to have my granny in my life. So many wonderful memories. Going down memory lane can be hard at times sweet friend and especially wishing we had those moments in life that we didn't. I was reminded just last week while doing zoom Bible study with our ladies that there can still be those redemptive aspects of our lineage that highlights the faithfulness of God in our lives. Even if we have lineage that there was those not faithful or those we were not around much. This really made me think and go back to the first time I ever heard the name of Jesus that I can remember. I was a very young little girl and my first encounter with the fact that there was a man named Jesus was because my granny (dad's mom) who I wasn't around very much growing up, carried me to church with her. I will forever be thankful! Hugs to you lady.
DeleteCindy, what a fun time with your five granddaughters. You are a perfect Nana. I am confident of the very promises you are. God is faithful! Have a blessed week my friend!
ReplyDeleteMercy, far from perfect but Oh I do love those kids so much.
DeleteI love the Make sure you test positive for Faith.... quote. So true.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy to see all 5 grandgirls having fun at your house. Sprinkles for breakfast sounds like something they would love.
YES, I so want to test positive for faith...
Deletesprinkles breakfast, lunch, and dinner, please!
ReplyDelete;-}
I would love to make you a breakfast with sprinkles friend.
DeleteOh fun, fun, fun for those five grand girls!! I can’t say that I blame your grandson for not wanting to come, Cindy, but I know the girls brought a lot of laughter and happiness. I’m sure hoping that this doesn’t change our world forever. Love and hugs to you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThey had so much fun. Nana was dragging but you know what? Worth every bit of it!
DeleteAWESOME!!!! Poor Marty (grin). Hey, I hope you have a beautiful rest of the week, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHey is surely outnumbered with the gals at our house. But he loves every minute of it.
DeleteI confess that I'm not a sprinkles person, but I'll take the pancakes and sausages!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the term "physical distancing" over "social distancing."
I am not a fan of sprinkles either Margie but those grands sure love them. LOL!
DeleteOh my, such fun with those grand girls and what great memories, too! I can understand why your grandson decided to sit this one out. Bet you all will plan something special for him soon. Yes, these are trying times but I know if we put our faith in God, things will work out as He needs it to. Stay safe and healthy, my friend! Zenda
ReplyDeleteThanks Zenda.
DeleteWhat fun memories with the girls. Sprinkles are great for breakfast or anytime. Have a great rest of the week Cindy and glad you and your family are all doing well.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Hope your week is going great.
DeleteWow, I bet that was a crazy fun sleepover! It is so hard on the children, not seeing their friends, going to school and socializing. One of my grandson's teachers provided a format for the kids to post videos of what they've been doing, and he gets his brother involved and they film crazy antics on his iPhone {he's 12} and then he submits them for his friends to see and he can watch theirs...Lots of fun! People are amazing the way they are coming up with new ways to "socialize!" I'm glad you are able to be with family,
ReplyDeleteJenna
The kids are surely learning ways to entertain themselves these days.
DeleteGod is faithful. The quote is very profound.
ReplyDeleteGod is teaching me patience and perseverance. I agree, I am tired of the phrase, social distancing, but I realize it's importance.
Your grands are a comfort to you I am sure. Stay safe🙏❤️✝️
He is very faithful.
DeleteHi, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteYour blog post is just what I needed today. Those precious granddaughter photos are sweet and gets me looking forward to this coming weekend when we will have our two granddaughters. Can't wait.
Awe, I am so happy you will have your two grandgirls. I know you all will have so much fun.
DeleteWhat a fun time with all the grands! I sure miss seeing my younger too. We do Facetime. My older two are here and they both have classtime with Zoom. I just got an account today but not sure how it works yet. Will have to ask the grands!
ReplyDeleteGirl, those grands can teach you more than you want to know! LOL!
DeleteIt is such a dear blessing to be able to visit with you today, sweet friend. I always feel an uplift in my spirit when I come here to your place. What joy you must have had with all those sweet grandgirls around! I can see they have their Papa wrapped around their little finger. I imagine they can get by with anything around you two! LOL! They are so adorable! Thank you for saying what I feel - I am SO sick of hearing the "social distancing" phrase! My goodness. Just the thoughts of it makes me sad. Anything that keeps God's people apart and families apart is sad to me. I just wonder what it will all look like when (if?) things ever get back to some semblance of "normal." I think God is really trying to get people's attention, but I don't know how many are really getting it. So thankful we can all stay connected this way. God bless and keep you and all your loved ones safe and health continually! Sending hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteAwe. so glad you stopped by dear Cheryl. I get aggravated at times with technology but surely glad to have it. Mercy. It's been like a blessing and a curse experiencing this time in the history of our lives. Trusting God and so thankful for so many wonderful friends to share the ups and downs with.
DeleteLots of fun times with your littles. wow, what a harvest of tatoers. thank you cindy for your heartfelt visit. Hugs and blessings
ReplyDeleteThose taters have surely been good too. Several has reaped from our goodness that God blessed us with.
DeleteSprinkles are a must. Your little ones are adorable.

Thank you Amalia.
DeleteCindy, your blog posts are always positive and cheery, uplifting, too! You know how to add "sprinkles" to everything, not just pancakes!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara. Just too much sadness out there and we gotta look for the joy for sure.
