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...
Good afternoon on this NO RAINY Sunday. Day two without any rain for us and though I am sure I will be praying for rain again, I am glad to see it slack off a little around Conner's Pond. Which, is overflowing. Marty and I enjoyed a day date on Friday which was so very nice. He took off Friday for a dermatologist appointment which was not any fun for him but we did have a wonderful outing. We enjoyed a late lunch and done a little shopping.
YES girls, those bandages you see on my man are truly pink! Hey, he is color blind so he didn't know what color they were. When I told him the color the country boy about had a stroke! But, I told him that real men wear pink! LOL! He finally said, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do".
We dined at this quaint place called European Café.
They were playing some of our favorite oldies and this song came to mind as we dined in this charming atmosphere.
Daughter # 2 and I had a lovely day on Saturday with our youngest grandgirl. Melissa called me earlier and asked if I would like to do a little shopping with her and Kyleigh and have lunch. WELL OF COURSE I DID!
Marion Street Bistro in located in the older part of Lake City Florida where so many buildings are old and authentic. We sat on the patio and the food was delicious.
These stuffed oysters was total goodness and I only ate one as I knew I would not eat lunch if I had more than that. But, my little 10 year old grandgirl loved them.
Melissa and I had such a great day.
Grandgirl was sporting her new glasses and had some money saved for shopping. Needless to say she was wanting to GET THROUGH with the lunch because that money was burning a whole in her pocket.
We finished our day with Starbucks.
There is nothing like spending time with those you love the most. I could get used to these day dates! LOL!
On a funny note one of my daughters sent this meme in a group text and stated, "This y'all, so our mama". YES it is! LOL! YEP, this good old Southern Baptist can throw down if necessary.
In closing today I want to share this that a friend of mine shared on her FB page. I found it so very true and a little convicting to say the least. I hope that it speaks to your heart as it did mine.
I hope that you all have a great week and stay healthy. So many, especially younger people in my community are being hit with Delta. It seems God is surely keeping our prayer life out front and center. Lifting you all up to our Lord for a good health, wisdom and discernment.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Sweet pictures of your lovely day. And good words of wisdom too.
ReplyDeleteThank you GM.
DeleteI love luncheon dates with my man even if it includes a doctor's appointment! You and your family look great, Cindy. Have a delightful week!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet lady. Yep, even if it's a doctor appointment, an outing with my man is always good.
DeleteHi Cindy, I enjoyed my visit here tonight! Love your hairstyle! Looks a bit different but great! I have a 10 year old grand daughter that loves to go shopping. I took the 12 year old out Friday so she could spend her birthday money. We sure need some rain over here. We are use to dry weather, but not humid. I like the saying you shared. Praying as the Delta is spreading all over. Lord heal our land in many ways! Enjoy your week! Hugs
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan. My hair is so thick and course and I am overdue for a hair cut and thinning to be honest! Yep, she spent that birthday money. Even bought her Nana a little gift. LOL!
DeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful time being out and about with your family! I’m praying Marty’s procedure has a positive outcome. At least you two had a good time eating out! Shopping with your girls is always fun and I know your granddaughter bought some great items for school. It’s hard to believe school will be starting soon! I’m worried there will lots of little ones who will be sick as so many here are still unvaccinated. I’m praying for all of them, especially our Jack and our other young family members. This virus is not through with us yet. 😔
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful week, lovely Cindy!
Thank you Zenda. The school year here has already begun. Praying for so many right now. Stay safe and have a great week.
DeleteSimple pleasures are the best! Love the battery words!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Yes indeed Jenna.
DeleteBeautiful post, Cindy! Kyleigh looks cute in her new glasses. That salmon bowl -- looks absolutely wonderful!!! I love dishes like that!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara.
DeleteSuch a lovely time with your husband and family. I saw the Angry Orchard umbrellas at the rest. I met the owners of said place, grin. ANYWAYS, I know...getting off on another subject, sigh...have a beautiful week, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. We did have a nice luncheon there and the atmosphere was great.
DeleteCindy, I know when I visit with you there will be family, food, and fun! You never disappoint (lol). You look wonderful my friend. I hope hubby does well with those bandages. Happy week and hugs!
ReplyDeleteLOL! ! Yep, gonna be some food somewhere and my tribe keeps me busy! He is doing great but finally took off the pink bandages. LOL!
DeleteSuch a beautiful family you have. Your girls are so pretty. Wow...looks as if you and daughter #2 had a great day and food. Yep, we got a good rain last yesterday. I had the back door open for the cats to come and go on the deck, I laid on the couch and listened to the rain hitting the tin roof of the deck....I was having no issues sleeping but that did make it better.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam. Oh the sound of rain on a tin roof. I love it! When we had to re-do our roof we went with a metal roof and I love it!
DeleteWhat a fun day. Family time is always the best especially when it has shopping, Starbucks and good food. Have a great week. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris.
DeleteA date with your hubby is always a wonderful thing, and outings with your your daughter and granddaughter, even extra fun! Isn’t that great wisdom in comparing batteries to people’s needs?!! I love that. Blessings to you, sweet Cindy.
ReplyDeleteI loved the comparison too Kitty. Makes one think doesn't it?
DeleteOnce again, your tasty seafood is making my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteI've always found the "pink is for girls; blue is for boys" tradition silly. Who cares as long as the colour looks good on the person!
I love the top that you're wearing in the last pic. It has strong fall vibes!
Thanks Margie. I love that top because it's flowing and comfy. We love seafood too.
DeleteWell, what's not to like about two fun days in a row. You and your daughter are soooo cute! Have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteThank so much.
DeleteAw, what a sweet post! Your day date looks wonderful and also your day with your daughter and grand-daughter. Such happy times! God bless all of you!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Cindy. Love seeing your family outings.
ReplyDeleteYour wisdom is helpful and appreciated.
Thanks Bonnie. I hope that you are doing well.
DeleteLovely post
ReplyDeleteafter all our isolation, eating out is more of a joyful treat than ever!
ReplyDeleteYes it is even though we are still being so very careful. But it was surely nice.
DeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteLove hearing about your days out and seeing the pictures....I love your hair cut!! Is it easy to keep styled and how often do you have to have it cut if you do not mind saying? I am looking for something a bit different!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! We are getting pelted by rain from Feed right now.... And more rain coming on the weekend!! Stay safe, healthy and happy!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Thanks Deb. I get it cut at least once every 6 weeks but probably need to every 4. My hair is thick and course and grows fast. I have to keep it thinned out some. But yes, my hair is easy to style. Thank the Lord . I don't have a whole lot that's good...but at least I have good hair! LOL!
DeleteThank you for sharing all of these wonderful photographs.
ReplyDeleteI so agree "There is nothing like spending time with those you love the most. "
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan. Happy Sunday.
