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
I am getting a late start to sharing with you all this week. But, better late than never huh? Sharing one of my beautiful sunflower blooms with you today. Isn't she just lovely? I always plant sunflowers this time of year and this year it seemed that they had a hard time getting started for various reasons. But now they are coming into bloom and I am sure am enjoying these beauties.
We goofed off some too.....but we sure had a great time.
But.....Nana brought home supper! YES!
I see some fried back strap on my plate real soon. To be quite honest, it's not about the harvest for me. It's about spending time with those I love the most, and some of my sweetest times with the Lord is while I am sitting in a tree stand. It's my quiet time, my meditation, my talking things out, praying, and well, It's just a part of who I am. And, I am truly grateful for the bounty the Lord allowed me to have.
Needless to say #1, Carrot Cake Cookies with Cream Cheese icing took the win. I decided to spin the wheel on this one to see who the winner was.
Number 10!
*****Cheri's Chatter*****
Congratulations Cheri! Be sure to visit with this sweet gal. Here is a little bit about my friend.
I'm a "young at heart" wife, mother,
grandmother, and retired teacher. I live in a small, rural town in GA
with my wonderful husband of 50 years. Our son, daughter-in-law, and
two beautiful grandkids, R.(17) and M.(14) live nearby. I taught school
for 31 1/2 years, then supervised student teachers for 9 years.
Education and family are my passions, but my blog will be about whatever
suits my fancy that day. We Southerners are known for our hospitality
so ya'll just pull up a chair, I'll get the sweet tea, and we'll chat
awhile!
Now, before I show you her surprise let me say this and most of you that have blogged with me for a long time already know this....My Favorite Time of the Year is CHRISTMAS! I know....it's not even Halloween yet....But I could not help myself!!!!
Oh Cheri will enjoy this wonderful little cookbook written by two friends of mine with a couple of recipes in it from Yours truly.

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

Lol! We hunt in Ga and girl, that temp went from 80's to 49 quick like! When sitting in a tree stand with wind....mercy, it gets a little chilly. But I planned ahead of time so had it covered. It's a busy week for me this week so taking one day at a time.
DeleteCongratulations to Cheri. I love seeing you with your girls and all of your family. My hubby and son love to hunt, but I have never been. Good for you that you brought home supper. Hugs my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. We enjoy hunting together and especially as a family. We will enjoy some good meat too.

ReplyDeleteAs you know, I started shopping for Christmas teas last month. Because of covid, I'm cutting back on the holiday gift exchanges and shopping online.
Margie, I have several friends that has ordered all their gifts on line. It's easier to me to order on line too.
DeleteDon't you all look great in your camo!! Congratulations on getting your deer.

ReplyDeleteThanks you Cheryl.
DeleteCongrats to Cheri and congrats to you for getting your deer. That's something I've never done, but I commend those who do because the herds need to be managed and how.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vee. We enjoy white tail deer hunting.
DeleteCongratulations to the winner on such a yummy package! 😋
ReplyDeleteSo neat your daughters and granddaughters were able to go hunting with you. Great shot! Did you clean the deer or did you have someone else do it? If there's ever a famine, we know to come to your house! Lol. 😂
Love,
Ashley
Ps. Also, I replied to your comment you left on my blog.
Thanks Ashley. We clean and process our own meat. We grew up on a farm and was raised hunting. We enjoy it and the meat is so lean and good. Well, except when I fry me some old backstrap! LOL!
DeleteCongratulations to Cheri!! She will love all those wonderful gifts!! I enjoyed seeing all your happy photos that warm my heart, Cindy. Have a great week! 😘
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kitty.
DeleteQuestion: that santa beard with glasses -- can that count as your COVID mask??!!! ( it should!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouraging, uplifting words and graphics you post. They are never wasted, so appropriate.
Yes mam, that Santa beard was indeed a good COVID mask! LOL!
DeleteOH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! REALLY???? I won???? I am soooo excited:) THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteI love everything I'm seeing. I decorate my kitchen every Christmas with Gingerbread people and I always bake with my granddaughter:) And I love David Jeremiah. I am just blown away!!! Do I need to send you my address? This has just made my day/week!!! Again, thank you so much and thanks to all those who congratulated me:)
Awe, I am so glad this little prize made your day. Sometimes, it surely doesn't take much to make us smile. I hope that you will enjoy it.
DeleteOops! I was so excited I forgot what else I wanted to say!!! We are deer hunters in my family too. Well, I don't actually hunt...just sit in the stand with hubby. I have my own camo though:) We love venison and probably eat more of that than beef. Congrats on your harvest. Backstrap is my favorite part:) You have some beautiful ladies in your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheri. We love hunting as a family but girl....I sit in my own stand. LOL!
DeleteIt's hunting season here too, and while I don't hunt, I've certainly gone out with the guys to enjoy the woods, there is just nothing like it! Congratulations on getting such a nice deer, will be great meat for your freezer! How fun to do a sweet giveaway, and congratulations to Cheri for being the winner! It looks like a wonderfully fun package for her to open :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marilyn. We enjoy hunting and especially when it's our whole family hunting together. I have a granddaughter who will be 13 in Nov. and she has turned into quite the huntress too!
DeleteI enjoyed this post. It's always a joy to spend time with family. Also thank you for referencing Cheri's blog.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by to visit. Hugs.
DeleteI am so glad you got to spend some time with the girls in your life---even if it was hunting. lol We do a hunting of a different sort-antiques and thrifts. lol
ReplyDeleteI will go look Cheri's blog up, too. I haven't met her yet. xo Diana
I like to Thrift store hunt too.
DeleteOh- I lied - I DO KNOW CHERI! lol Just never think of the word Chatter after her name. lol
ReplyDeleteThe carrot cookies with cream cheese icing look wonderful! I just don't bake anymore because of the diabetes. I may try a batch and eat one before I take them out the door to give to one of my kids. Congrats to the winner! A lovely stash there! Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much or stopping by Melanie.
DeleteA beautiful flower is just the perfect start to an awesome post. You've a very nice family. It is one of the truest blessings we can get.May god always bless you! Regards Naomi https://divineangelnumbers.com/
ReplyDeleteThank you Naomi.
DeleteWell, I sure wish that I enjoyed hunting but I just do not, never have, never will. Hubby has hunted enough for both of us though and killed wayyy tooo many deer to even count. He doesn't hunt much now but sure does prepare for it. I think he enjoys the preparation more than the actual hunting at this point. Always fun to stop by and catch up with you and yours.
ReplyDeleteOur family surely enjoys it. Thanks for coming by dear lady.
DeleteCongrats to Cheri. A blessing to spend time with the girls. The cookies look so tasty. Happy Halloween. Hugs
