{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

{Favorite Meme's, Praise and More Cake}

 


Isn't she just lovely? I named her Pink Beauty. Yep, I give things a name sometimes. CRAZY! I was gifted her for Administrative Day. 


Another birthday cake is in the freezer for a May birthday but while on a baking spell I decided to make a carrot cake with cream cheese icing for Sunday's dessert. 

I guess the old glider will get a work out tomorrow as I do plan to have ANOTHER slice with coffee tonight!

I think I might best save this meme since I am having two slices of that carrot cake today! LOL! 



Speaking of meme's I saw this one and it caught my attention. Do you have some favorite meme's?


I must give a little praise today. This morning in church I sat next to my 17 year old granddaughter. When she opened her Bible to follow the passage reading for today I noticed the highlighting, underlined scriptures, notes and sticky notes on the pages of her Bible. Can I just say that this melted my heart with PRAISE! 

This passage in Deuteronomy came to mind  with a sweet reminder that WE MUST TEACH OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THE WORD OF GOD AS THE WORLD IS ALL TOO WILLING TO TEACH THEM OTHERWISE

Well, I will close today with a few meme's of good old Maxine! You just gotta love her! For those that might need a little laugh today, here you go.

I hope that you all have a wonderful week. 
And remember, laughter is the best medicine...so be sure to LAUGH this week even if it's at yourself. 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  1. Oh, I do love to laugh and enjoyed laughing at your memes. And, it would melt my heart if my teenage Granddaughter had a marked up Bible as well. I pray all my Grans love God's Word and know the importance of spending time in it every day. Have a great week!

    1. I have prayed for my grandchildren before they were conceived to come to know Jesus at an early age and to love him and serve Him all their life. I am counting on it my friend.

  2. I adore Maxine. She makes me laugh every single time. Was that a picture of your granddaughter's Bible??? Whether or not, that is wonderful that she "delves" into her Bible and doesn't just "read" it...if you know what I mean. Your flower is lovely and I know it is well deserved. Thanks for the opportunity to laugh as I've been so busy lately I've hardly had time to think!!!! Have a lovely week.

    1. Yes Cheri, it was her Bible. She is like her nana. Old school and wants to feel those pages in between her fingers. Gotta love Maxine.

  3. Truly, one of life's most wonderful blessings is when we see evidence our children (and grandchildren) are walking with the Lord.

    1. Thanks Kris and happy Monday to you too. I am truly blessed to witness my children and grandchildren walking with the Lord and I do not take it for granite as I know that Satan is constantly wanting to destroy.

  9. That cake looks amazing but I don’t think calories count if consumed on Sundays! 😉 Love the memes - so funny! We all still need some chuckles. I bet your heart just melted when you saw your granddaughter’s Bible. Our grandboy is still little but he already knows to say his prayer before eating and I just love it! 💕 Wishing you a wonderful week, Cindy! Zenda

  11. Cindy, the carrot cake looks so delicious and I would have enjoyed another piece with coffee before bed. The memes made me laugh, thank you! I love seeing your granddaughter’s Bible, that just warms my heart. Blessings dear one!

  12. There is nothing as exciting as our children's love for the Lord and His Word!!!!!!!! Oh, this says volumes about her parents. This is my prayer that my grand girls will hear and follow Jesus, Cindy. Love the humor, the wise words and oh that cake. You deserve it. Hugging you, girl.

  13. OH, your granddaughter's Bible is such a blessing to see. I only have one grandson, and it grieves me that he is not going to church and hasn't since his daddy (our son) died 7 years ago. He is now 21, and I pray every single day for his heart to be turned back to the Lord. His Daddy taught him so much about the Lord and he even baptized him (with their pastor at the time). But since he died there has been no reinforcement from his mother and we are too far away, so it really really grieves me. Okay, I love the carrot cake and I love the memes and everything else in between. I just love being here. Thank you for your wonderful posts. God bless you.

  19. Cindy, I've always loved Maxine. And she only gets better, the older I get! :D I love that you plan, bake, and freeze ahead. I do too! I love getting all anxious about needing a meal or a dessert and then checking the freezer and there you go! Big sigh!

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
