{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...

{Red, White and Blue}

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!   Memorial Day honors America’s military men and women who lost their lives in service to their country and I don't know about y'all but RED, WHITE and BLUE will always prevail in my book.  And my youngest granddaughter got all caught up with the RED, WHITE AND BLUE.... AND TWO! She is celebrating her 2nd birthday today and a little ham she is!  I done a little photo shoot of her to celebrate her red, white and two and she surely brought on the smiles.  And the grins... And  the wide mouth expressions when she would hear a tractor mowing in the fields nearby!   We had a ball snapping pictures for this sweet girl.  She just melts this Nana's heart... I can't believe our youngest is already TWO!  My mercy! I could just kiss her little face off! And pretty much do.  Our family celebrated her birthday with a little family party with cake, cup...

{Birthday, Cakes and Bread}

This sweet sweet granddaughter just celebrated her 9th birthday. I know y'all, seems my tribe has a birthday every month and well, we just about do!  Kyleigh brings our family so much joy. She has the sweetest and most loving personality ever.  This child never meets a stranger and loves with her whole heart.    Our family celebrated her birthday with a little party but then she got to spend the day  at the beach with her cousin. Oh the days of bikinis and eating what you wanted too................ I took a day to bake cakes to freeze for upcoming birthdays and well, maybe a Sunday dinner. Yep, we have another family birthday coming up this month.  I love baking fresh bread and haven't baked any in a while so decided on a loaf of fresh rosemary bread. Gathered some rosemary from my herbs and whipped up a loaf. The worst part is waiting on it to rise. But I was painting a new pump house my husband b...

{Girls Just Wanna Have Fun} And We Did!

We had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. Let me just tell y'all a little secret. There is NEVER a dull or boring moment when my three daughter's are around! After a wonderful lunch we all went outside and while the younger kids played us older kids played too. We set up a tripod with a remote control switch and we snapped no telling how pictures of ourselves goofing off.  We got so tickled one time at ourselves because I had put the remote control in my pants pocket and I was trying to find it  non-conspicuously to snap a picture!    These gals of mine are crazy! A couple of the younger girls got in on the fun. Needless to say a lot of my flowers got picked yesterday! My oldest daughter did manage to get a picture with her two kids and the grandson doesn't like standing still long enough for a picture so that was a blessing.  I was truly lavished with sweet gifts from my girls. I was so excited about my...

{Birthday, Nail appointment and Flowers} A great combination huh?

My first born celebrated her birthday and I must say, her daddy is sure getting older!  We had a wonderful lunch and my oldest granddaughter baked her mama a birthday cake. Doesn't it look too pretty to eat? My grandgirl has become quite the baker and that makes me so happy. Kristy is quite amazing. She truly has a kind and humble spirit that shows the love of Christ to her family, friends and to all that know her. We couldn't be more proud of her. I decided it was time to do my nails so I made myself a nail appointment at Cindy's Nail Salon .  I have no excuse for not doing them as I keep plenty of nail supplies around for the grandgirls. Mercy, I have a whole cabinet of nail stuff.  When you have five granddaughters then you have nail supplies, hair bows, lipstick and stuff to make cookies! I probably threw away at least a dozen bottles that had dried up. But finally narrowed it down to a few of my favorite colors.  ...
