{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

{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 built so the time went by pretty quick.


And, that fresh rosemary bread was a lovely addition to my meal. 


Speaking of bread, my oldest granddaughter just sent me a picture of her bread she has rising. Will let y'all know how it turns out. 




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


Hugs and blessings, Cindy

      There was a short time that flour was hard to find and no yeast. But I had plenty of flour anyway and my daughter and sister found me some yeast so I am good to go unless I get CRAZY baking! LOL!

    Big birthday wishes to your sweet granddaughter. We celebrated my granddaughter's 10th birthday yesterday with a parade of cars all decorated with balloons and signs and the fire department vehicles lead the parade for her. It was so cute and fun since we still cannot be together. Glad she could see her friends even if they were in their cars. Have a great week. Oh to lay on the beach with a snickers bar and be able to wear a bikini!!!!

      What a fun birthday for your grandgirl. We had a party Friday afternoon with pizza, cupcakes and ice cream and then she had over a few friends for a movie night, popcorn and candy. Of course then she got to enjoy a beach trip the next day. Girl yes....those days in bikini are long gone! LOL!

    Oh how sweet! Happy Birthday to Kyleigh! She is adorable! And I love those pretty cakes you are baking and freezing! What a great idea! That bread sounds SO good. I could eat the whole loaf...probably why I shouldn't bake it!! Love the tree at the end...are those orange honeysuckle flowers (or whatever that vine is that grows up into the trees)? Looks so pretty. Have a blessed and beautiful week!

    Hi Cindy! Oh, your little granddaughter is so sweet and looks like a little doll. Happy birthday to her! How nice you are able to be with her. Your bread sounds delish! I can't find any yeast at the grocery stores so I've been making beer bread. I've never drank beer in my life but that beer bread sure is tasty! Thanks for popping in to see me. Stay safe, my friend.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia :)

      There was no yeast to be found here for a while. But my oldest daughter finally found some and bought me some and then my sister bought me some. Now it's back on the shelf. Guess I best get to baking bread more now! LOL!

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 yard

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget

{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
