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 all have had a great weekend. I sure have. Spent some time with family for the weekend and well, it just don't get much better than family time.
Done a little hunting, shopping, eating and a whole lot of playing with the littles.
YEP, we had chocolate milk ...in the bed! They loved every minute staying with Nana and of course getting by with lots of extra things....LOL!
My soninlove downed two nice bucks in two days! Guess what's for supper one night this week?
Yes friends, I am still truly enjoying my sunflowers.
I will miss them. I enjoy so much walking out to where they are each day and looking at them. They have kept me supplied in bouquets.
A friend in my Bible Study gifted me this precious journal and the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Oh yes, these words are so very true. I hope that you all have a wonderful week and remember,
We must keep our eyes on the SON.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
You are always up to something fun with your family. Awesome memories for sure! Have a great week Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI hope your week is great too dear Lea. And...never a dull moment with my tribe. I wouldn't have it any other way.
DeleteCindy, I so enjoy your photos with family and the fun times that you all share together. Wishing you a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteHope your week is lovely too Pam.
DeleteAll your photos are fabulous. And I love your hair!!!! So glad you got to spend such quality time with your family. And yes...more than ever we have to keep our eyes on the SON. My heart is very distressed these days, but I am reading the book you sent and the chapters on anxiety and peace were something I needed to hear!!! Seems like God really did have a hand in me winning because I think He knew I was going to need those chapters this week:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheri. I love Dr. David Jeremiah and what better to read at this time of life. God is on the throne and that I know for sure. Have a good week dear lady.
DeleteYour sunflowers are amazing!! You have so much fun with your family. We did too today with our sons and 2 older grands. We laughed so hard my tummy muscles hurt.
ReplyDeleteOh don't you just love those kinds of laugh? So glad you got to spend some time with your family too. Nothing any sweeter.
DeleteThe sunflowers are so big and pretty! Good to spoil your grands. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. I will surely those beauties. Going to cut another bouquet today.
DeleteYour granddaughters are so adorable. Of course Nana lets them have chocolate milk in bed! I love that camo t-shirt you're wearing at the restaurant. Cay-ute! Your sunflowers are so TALL and beautiful. No wonder you'll miss them and the beautiful bouquets they provided!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather Lou. Yep, I've gotten several tall sunflowers that have been amazing. Love them!
DeleteMy little grands love having treats in bed, too, and it doesn’t bother me one bit!
ReplyDeleteYou’re such a tiny, little thing and those sunflowers 🌻 tower over you. What happiness they provide in your house! Enjoy your week, dear friend!
I have a few sunflowers that are REALLY tall. But dear Kitty....you don't have to be very tall too be taller than me! LOL! They have provided such happiness for me and yes...doesn't bother me either that they had chocolate milk in the bed. ESPECIALLY since the bed wasn't mine! LOL!!!! They had fun!
DeleteLove that you can enjoy your family so much. The girls in bed with their chocolate milk is fun and adorable. Who doesn't love chocolate milk in bed!!!! Your Sunflowers are very impressive. Have a great start to the new week. xoxo Kris

ReplyDeleteYou look so happy when you are with your family.
Thanks Christine! Always happy when with my tribe.
DeleteWow, those sunflowers are HUGE!!!
ReplyDeleteSo did you get anything fun on your shopping excursions? You'll be proud of me because I FINALLY went to a Dollar Tree to grab some holiday stuff. I was thrilled because I found the Tea Time mini calendar.
Girl...you ventured out????? Yes, I am proud of you! We only went to a couple of stores and I found me a cute outfit and a pair of new shoes! LOL! Oh, and some chocolate candy! Ha!
DeleteThose sunflowers are twice as tall as you!!
ReplyDeleteYep and don't take a whole lot to be taller than me! LOL! I have a few that are really tall though.
DeleteCindy, what a great weekend you and your family had! You are so right, there is nothing better than family time. Congratulations on the great deer harvests! We just had deer bourguignon this weekend from Andy's deer and it was delicious! I know whatever you all fix from your harvest will be great, too! Those sunflowers are unbelievable!! I know you will miss them when they are gone but oh, what a show you have enjoyed. Have a great week, dear friend! Z
ReplyDeleteYUM! Love me some venison and about any way that it's cooked!
