{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

{A Few Amazon Finds and Tidbits}

 Good afternoon to all. Hope this finds you all doing well this Sunday afternoon. I am actually seeing a little sun today after many days of rain. Not sure we won't get more rain today. My dirt is SURE WET y'all. I wanted to share a few things I've purchased lately from good old Amazon Prime. I have several friends that post their Amazon prime deals and I enjoy them so much. Here's a few things I have enjoyed. 


We have an ORION and we love using it especially when we are grilling large sums of meat or large turkeys, racks of ribs and etc. FAST and EASY. These gloves have surely been a lifesaver from getting burned. Marty uses to them to lift our meats out with ease. These ovens mitts can stand high heat and perfect to use with any kind of grilling. Of course the bear claws are my favorite for pulling pork and chicken.

We have had our Orion for a long time and I purchased it from Bass Pro shop. They are now cheaper than they used to be but we have cooked all sorts of thing on it. Very good for cooking meats and especially when feeding a big family like ours. 






I like the long phone charging cords so found this set of 4, 2 charging blocks and 2 charging cords, 10 feet in length on Amazon. Perfect for me so I can sit in my recliner and charge my phone while using it. 


Fast Wireless Charger, Wireless Phone Charger Stand, 15W Max Fast Charging and Google Pixel Stand for iPhone 12/12Pro/SE/11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max/XR/Xs Max/XS/,...

I also enjoy this wireless cordless I Phone charger. When I am at home and in no hurry I use it a lot. 


I have really enjoyed this yoga mat bag. I used it a lot on the beach. It holds a mat, keys, cell phone, water bottle and a small neck towel. I store my mat in it at home but it's great to be able to hold your workout mat and carry it with you. Hope when cool weather gets here I can use it outside a lot. 

I made a little trip to our local Dollar tree with two of the grands and found these cute little wooden pumpkins with initials on them for my three daughters. (last name initials) 

So stinking cute aren't they?


Our five year old granddaughter got to have her nails done for the first time professionally. I think she may be hooked now! 




And last but not least...You guessed it! Our Friday night "Fun Food" by Conner's Pond. 

I will close out with this today as I have found this to be so very true.

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and enjoy each day that the Lord gives to you.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. What fun to visit here! You always have the most interesting things to see and learn about. Those bear claws look interesting...so you use them to pull pork? I might need to get some of those. Love the yoga mat bag, even though I don't use such a mat, it's a nice bag anyway! And the little pumpkins are adorable. I've been wanting to make a trip to the Dollar Tree lately...so they much have their fall stuff out now...okay, time to go check it out. And your little pumpkin sweetheart is just adorable, getting her nails done already! What a doll!! Someday I am going to get a professional pedicure...I am past due for one, but have never had either a manicure or pedicure. I don't have pretty nails so I don't try to show them off, but I always admire others. You girls know how to have so much fun!! Loved this post! Have a happy week.

  4. That last graphic says so much. All you have shared with us here is good (and fun and pretty and useful) but this observation about disposition is what spoke to me the most. Thanks for giving it to us.

  7. I love seeing purchases from Amazon, Cindy. It’s fun to see what other friends find that’s useful. Your little granddaughter’s nails look so pretty. My daughter and I were looking at Cissy’s first manicure pictures just yesterday, when she was that age.
    Yes, those pumpkins are too cute!
    I hope you have a wonderful week!

  8. Oooh, those pumpkins from Dollar Tree are adorable! When I couldn't go shopping, I got my dollar store fix by watching vloggers share their DT hauls and "shop with me" videos on YouTube. I have a few fall-themed DT items on my wish list, but my local DT don't have them yet...

    1. With our local Dollar Tree if you see something you really like and want then you best hurry and get it. A sales clerk told me once that their dishes sell very quickly because they get pretty ones in and of course...a dollar! LOL! Also that their seasonal decor goes quickly. Love me some Dollar Tree.

  14. Cindy, thanks for all of these great recommendations! It's hard sometimes to decide if I should order something from Amazon. Prime makes it pretty easy to return things if they don't meet the expectation but if a friend recommends something, I feel more confident ordering. I bet your granddaughter is going to want to have those nails done again very soon! Ha! Wishing you all a blessed week!! Zenda

    1. Yes prime makes it easier for sure to send back. I have only had to send something back twice. I have got to where I order a lot of my Christmas from Prime. Especially about the time COVID hit. But, I am funny about ordering clothing from amazon. Always afraid it won't fit.

    1. Yes Prime was truly a godsend. And for the most part, it's very convenient for me. Yep, that girl gonna want her nails done a lot now! LOL! She knows that outing was a special treat with her mom though so maybe she won't be hooked with the professional. LOL!

  16. Hi Cindy, thanks for visiting. I just updated again. Lots of pictures but you might have seen a few on Facebook. I bet your peach cobbler is great! We love seafood so every time you post shrimp, I am wanting son. Funny about the fans. We pack travel fans in our suitcases when we travel. Hey, sleep is important right! :)

  17. Aw, your little granddaughter is just so precious showing off those nails!! She is just adorable! I always love catching up with you, sweet friend, and so appreciate you and your beautiful blog. When I saw your shrimp on your little goodie tray, it made me think of the low country in SC and a sauce they make that they dip shrimp in - I wanted to share it with you in case you want to try it. It is so simple - one cup of ketchup, one cup of mayonnaise, one cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of mustard. Just stir together and serve it as a shrimp dip. It is amazing! Sending hugs and blessings your way today!

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
