{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

Our 2021 Family Beach trip was wonderful. Seven days of beautiful weather, good food and good fellowship was had by all. I shared a few pictures on Instagram and a lot on Facebook. Marty and I are truly blessed to be able to do a beach trip yearly with our tribe.

 The weather was beautiful all week with the exemption of one day that we had a little rain but only lasted about 30 minutes.

Here's some pictures to highlight our trip together.

We ate good every day! Too good! LOL!

I am not athletic at all so needless to say I hit the ball wrong way and have quite a place on my arm to prove it! Yep, that winds up my volleyball playing.

No photo description available.We had so much fun with our wash off tattoos. I forgot to get pictures of our fun with the hair chalk but just so you know, I had pink and blue streaks. LOL! The younger girls loved it.

Everyone had fun with the boogie boards. Marty even bought a new one this year and he is worse than the kids with it.

May be an image of 3 people, including Marti Leigh Starr, people standing, beach, coast and ocean We tried to keep up our workouts even though we were on vacation. I only managed to pull off three days though. I found myself enjoying sleeping in.....


May be an image of 1 person, standing, coast, beach and ocean A little Christian yoga early mornings on the beach was my thing. Between the sound of the waves, the smell of the ocean and praise and worship music, I was caught up in my own little world. The girls would split up early mornings between running on the beach and some gym time. They did sleep in a couple of mornings though. I mean...we were on vacation right?

Believe me, if you could have seen what all we ate you would know why we needed to work out. LOL!

We went and had breakfast one morning and I fully intend on doing a great review on Connolly's. Surprisingly, the service was fast and staffed well which is unusual these days. The food was delicious.

The beach is surely my happy place. I could surely become a beach bum.

    1. Thanks Heather. We had a great time. YES girl...three of my grands are so much taller than me. But, I am so short! LOL! I love anklets and wear them often. And....your older friend would get a tattoo if I wasn't chicken. I always wanted 3 small hearts for my three girls on my foot but Marty never liked the sound of it. ME? Yes mam, I would have! I can rebel in my older age now if I want too, right? LOL!

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
