{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

{ Zucchini Bread, Grands, Wedding Anniversary} What a life?


 My daughter Marti Leigh gave me fresh Zucchini and needless to say bread baking began. Zucchini is a dessert to me! Pairs perfectly with coffee and our family enjoys it. I had 4 nice size zucchini's and only used two for this batch of bread. I will be baking more bread to freeze this week for sure.

 

 
Everyone carried what they wanted too home after Sunday Dinner  and Marty and I will enjoy some for the rest of this week. 
 


I had saved a few tin cans and had just a tad of zucchini batter left so decided to bake it in the tin can. It turned out so cute! And, was just as yummy!

 
 We went this watch this sweet girl who plays travel ball on Saturday do her thing. The weather was nice and cool. 
 

We love watching our grands participate in various activities especially if it's not HOT! Suppose to be back up in the 80's this week but that is sure better than 99!!!

 

She plays Volleyball too.

The grandson plays football.

This sweet girl dances.


And so does this sweetie....Never a dull moment with our bunch.





Look at this beauty! While bow hunting in Georgia this cutie landed in the back of our truck. He did not seem afraid and we almost wondered if he belonged to someone and got out of his cage. He was so pretty. Sat there while I snapped his picture and then flew away. You never know what you might see when you go hunting. 

 And I can't end this post without sharing that we will be celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary this Wednesday. We dated nearly two years before getting married. We were high school sweethearts. Just mere children when we married. God has surely been good to us and He gets all the glory.

I can't imagine doing life without this man of mine. 💘


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


Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  13. I love zucchini; buy them every time I shop. Carrie gave me the gadget to make zoodles a few years ago and my salads are tasty (and pretty.) Happy Anniversary! I love it that you shared your wedding photos. Beautiful back then as today. What a testimony you two are. Hugs!

  14. Oh I have not made that bread in .......well a long time, 30 or slightly over 30 yrs. Used to make and freeze it for later. Look at those young ones. Sports is taking place in your area. Same in counties around us but not Nashville as of yet. Pretty birdie...I had one land in the yard the other day, it was a dusty yellow color. Not ever seen one, looked it up and it was a Warbler, female. Pretty, ate a bit of seed and off she went. I thought that was so cool since I had never seen one before. Happy Anniversary....that is awesome.

  18. Such a cute couple! Happy anniversary!

    So glad that you are allowed to watch your grands' games. (We are not allowed. Can you believe it?! The kids play their games with no one allowed to leave their cars. We can't see from our cars. It's ridiculous.)

    Happy fall🍂

  19. I'm rediscovering zucchini this year. I only ever used it in stir-fries before or cooked in tomato sauce. Now I want to try my hand at baking - your loaf looks fantastic.

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

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{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
