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...
I hope that you have a wonderful Labor Day tomorrow. I hope to have a low key day and grilled steaks are on the menu at the Conner house tomorrow.
I have been itching to start decorating a little for Fall but girls this heat is about more than I can stand in Florida. Especially when all my decor is outside in my She Shed. I ventured out there yesterday to begin bringing in a few things and a FEW was it! I was drenched down in a matter of minutes. I got a feeling that come another year my sweet little She Shed will have AC. My first item to bring out on my list was my Lady Linda Tea Cup. Isn't she a beaut?
Lady Linda from https://ladylindateacup.blogspot.com/
gifted me this beauty in 2017 during a Tea Cup Exchange.
I hope that you have a wonderful Labor day and week. Enjoy each day that the Lord gives to you friends. Life is surely a precious gift. And REMEMBER.........
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
How pretty your Lady Linda teacup is!! So perfect for the season. I have a new Fall scented candle to get me in the mood and I'm going to take a look to see if any of my teacups look Fall-ish. Have a lovely Labour Day with your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks GM. I have several fallish teacups but this one is my favorite. Happy Labor Day to you.
DeleteNow I want to decorate even though it was 115 in our city today. We we are at the beach today and we were here yesterday too. Going to add pictures tomorrow. Love your decor. That taco soup looks good!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy
ReplyDeleteI love the tea gift. So sweet. Having a great Labor Day. Wishing you a good week.
Hugs,
Kris
Hi Cindy! Oh has it ever been hot - seems like everywhere! Crazy days, these!
ReplyDeleteI adore that teacup. I sure loved those teacup exchanges Stephanie used to do. She earned
her wings putting that all together for so many. Bless her heart.
Yes you are looking mighty festive over there! I have been considering getting my bins out but I usually wait until the corn stalks have dried up. To ME that's the real fall season's start. But I am itching for a new look - just tough when it's so hot.
Have a fun holiday. Hugs.
Thanks Michele. It's just so hot right now that it is about more than I can think about. Maybe, just maybe, I will try to bring out a little more decor today.
DeleteThanks so much Laurie.
ReplyDeleteYour little bit of fall looks great! I love everything pumpkin, I've already enjoyed a pumpkin pie blizzard from Dairy Queen! It's so hot here too, the humidity is awful. Hope you're having a great Labor Day.
ReplyDeleteOoh, a blizzard sounds good right now! Oh you meant from Diary Queen! LOL! YEP, wishing some cooler weather our way for sure. We are having a great day. Hope you and Mr. D are too.
DeleteI feel your pain in trying to decorate for Fall, Cindy. It’s so hard when it’s still so hot. Your Lady Linda teacup is indeed perfect for Fall, along with your sweet decor. I still have du flowers out until I get ready for the pumpkins and such. Happy Labor Day to you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI still have some pretty flowers thriving right now too Kitty. Though most are surely having to be watered daily. Even with a little rain the heat is not their friend.
DeleteOh you have inspired me! Actually, I did get out into our "shed"...not a "she-shed",but just a shed shed, filled with tools, boxes of my decor for the seasons, and a ton of other stuff we just couldn't fit in the house when we moved here. We've had good intentions of organizing it, but it is always too hot to do anything. I told hubby when it cools down we are going to get that place organized so we don't take our lives in our hands just looking for stuff! We'll see... Anyway, I love your "lady Linda teacup!" That is SO sweet, and perfect for fall! I love how you've arranged things so nicely. That taco soup looks good. Do you have the recipe? You'd better share it with us!! Let's join together in prayer for the hot humid weather here in Florida to go away and bring us a nice, cool, beautiful fall! Okay? The Bible says wherever two or more agree on something in prayer...He'll do it...so let's agree on this right away! :) Love ya girlfriend!! Enjoyed seeing "a little fall fell" in your house!
ReplyDeleteOh girl, I said last year that soon as it got cooler weather I was organizing that shed and tossing out and giving away and keeping ONLY things I use seasonable. I have not done that yet! I will have to get her recipe for you. The taco soup was really good. I even froze some for later. YUM!

ReplyDeleteCindy, That is a precious teacup! It is perfect for fall. Thinking about the fall flavors has put me in the mood for fall.
I'm visiting my daughter's and their temperatures are lower than ours in the morning and evening. We are enjoying it.
Enjoy your daughter. I know you are having a fun time. Glad to hear the temps are a lower.
DeleteLipstick. I like that! What a fun thought! Cindygirl, you have kick--started my autumn with your photos! So classy, country, and cheery!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your Labor Day!
Thanks Barbara. Now If I could just manage to get the rest of my fall out....
DeleteYour fall decor is so charming! Of course, my favourite is the autumn tea vignette. I love everything from the pretty teacup, cute teapot, and orange-coloured teabags!
ReplyDeleteI also brought out my orange teawares over the weekend. The weather is starting to cool down here so the fall vibes are strong!
Thanks Margie. I knew you would like my teacup and teas. LOL! But girl, that coffee is so good....
DeleteWow! I think you’ve decorated Fall (Autumn) so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are lovely to see.
Happy Labor Day Wishes.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan. Saw that cheesecake of yours though and wishing I had a slice!
DeleteCindy, I love the Lady Linda teacup and saucer...it is perfect for autumn. You have made a great start on fall decorating, you go girl! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. I enjoyed my coffee with my lady linda tea cup this morning.
DeleteOh, that soup looks yummy! And, the fall decor is just so pretty. It warms my heart to think that it is right around the corner. I love this time of year! Sending love, hugs, and much gratitude for your sweet comment and thoughts for Zach. I love and appreciate you, sweet friend. Your words were a blessing to him and to Kevin and me, too. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe soup was delicious. I have some frozen for a later time to enjoy. I surely prayed for Zach's spirit.
DeleteI love a good taco soup too! That looks delish! I'm sorry it's so hot there right. Fall decorating needs to be done, am I right? I haven't started mine yet. I need to get up in the attic for my stuff!
ReplyDeleteI used to have things boxed up in my attic but then I didn't trust myself to go up there anymore and bought me a she shed years ago. But my mercy does it need some organization! LOL!
Deletehaha....I don't wear lipstick! My lips are pink enough and I tend to lick it all off if I put it on. However I would phrase that saying as, "on a bad day there is always MASCARA. I love my mascara. We have had a some nice cooler days, and we I say cooler I mean not near the three digits. 94 today but not as much humidity. Here in TN its not always the heat index that gets us, its the humidity. We feel sort of like we are melting! I hate melting. I don't do fall as much as I used to, I don't do any holiday like I used to. Pulling out, unpacking, putting, packing back up, and putting back downstairs is more then I can take these days. I just put out a little. I even gave my daughter all most of my Halloween outdoor stuff when I took it down last yr... AGE, it is horrible, growing old is not for sissy's! Thing I will go put on some mascara!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Girl, yes put on that mascara. You are by it like I am lipstick. I am with ya...getting old aint for sissy's. I have noticed my decorating for every occasion ain't what it used to be either! MERCY! Now, I am to that age of convenience when possible.
DeleteOh Cindy, I love Audrey Hepburn, wasn't she the best!! It's too hot in Alabama too, only iced tea for me please, but your cup is so pretty! My granddaughter told me yesterday that it was time to redecorate our beach house tree, and she was right! We spent the morning pulling out some fall decorations and had a ball! So at least I can pretend that it's fall!! Love your fall corner chair and gather table!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Oh I can't wait to see your beach tree! Praying the temps start declining a little here!
DeleteI love it all: the Audrey Hepburn lipstick sign to the Chai Pumpkin Spice tea to that outstanding chili and of course...your truck. It's always fun here. Loving hugs, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mary. Have a good day.
DeleteIt is hot to decorate for Fall when it's still hot. Luckily our weather is starting to turn cooler this week. I've started with the front porch and the great room. Just a little pumpkin here and there. I've become a 'seasonal decorator' instead going with the holidays....less work! You enjoy your coffee and tea in that lovely cup! I've changed out my cups, too. We gals think a like! Have a great day, Cindy! Zenda
ReplyDeleteThanks Zenda. I have several Fallish tea cups and mugs and dragging them out to use. I would rather decorate seasonal as well. Less work! But I must say my favorite decor is Christmas. I love everything about it. About the time I get Fall out though it will time to put up and take out Christmas!!!
DeleteThis was sure a fun post! No one's drenched going outdoors up here. It's 40° . I like your tea station and all your beautiful fallish things! I have tried to like tea, but it just is uncooperative. So I stick with coffee. Hope you have a wonderful day, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I might do the 'Hallelujah' dance if it was 40! LOL! No seriously, I enjoy cooler weather but I want to be where I can get warm if need be too! LOL! Coffee is my favorite.....Tea is an extra added delight.
DeleteI love Fall decor and plan to get out some things this weekend. I love that pretty tea cup and your decorations...the red truck is cute! We're even going to make chili tonight. Might as well enjoy Fall even though it's still hot! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOOH, Chili sounds so good too.
