{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

{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

  5. There seems to always be something to celebrate in your family, and how happy is that?!!! Let the good times roll!

    Ah yes. The dance recitals. I remember them well with Surfer Girl. She then built on those experiences to work at Disney for 16 years as a choreographer, stage manager, and even got to be some pretty interesting characters, including the Little Mermaid.

    1. Barbara, it never ends with my tribe! LOL! Another birthday party this Friday night! Wouldn't miss these times for anything. Being of mother that raised three girls I know all too well about those special moments in life too. Sometimes Barbara I think I passed myself on the road back and forth to dance team practice, cheerleading, ballgames and etc. Where had the time went?

  10. Oh, dance recitals are such fun! YEARS ago, when our daughter was in dance, she had a Dalmatians outfit for recital, too!! It was so cute! Another birthday! You are so blessed to have so many happy reasons to celebrate! Your snack dinner by the pond also sounded fun. Easy Sunday evening dinners are good ways to start the week and stay connected. Love your beautiful blooms! Aren’t you glad spring is finally here?! Wishing you a happy week, dear Cindy! Zenda

    1. Thanks Zenda. Yes, eating by the pond has become one of our Friday night things to do right now. Of course weather and critters has a lot to do with whether we get too or not. But for now...yes!

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

{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
