{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  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...

{Happenings Around Conner's Pond}

 

Good afternoon everyone. I do hope that your Sunday has been wonderful to you. My family has left to go home after our weekly Sunday dinner together so I am relaxing a little. Wanted to share this picture with you. My oldest daughter Kristy and her husband Jered just celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary.  I just can't believe she has been married that long. They stayed at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando Fla and had the best time. So much to do there and you never have to leave the resort. 

The Lord has surely blessed this sweet couple.
 
I forgot to take a picture of our "fun food" by the pond from Friday...YEP, I know, y'all are disappointed! LOL!!! But, I did snap a picture of my little "Surprise sandwich" I had for lunch yesterday. I called it a surprise because I just put on it whatever I had handy in the frig. It was yummy too.

Bow season begins in Georgia in September which our hunting spot is about a 3 hour drive from home so not too bad. I done a little target practicing. My old bow is still dead on. I keep saying I am going to buy me a smaller bow but haven't done so yet. 

Marty, his dad and one of our soninlove's made a trip to check our trail camera's. He sent me this picture and said, "look at what was at your feeder"! Oh did that ever get me pumped up a little! LOL! 


So, I found this cute little pantsuit with pockets. I love pockets. It almost looks like a dress but isn't. I fell in love with it once I tried it on. I found the pantsuit at Cato's in which I rarely find anything there dressy that I like. I find cute little tops sometimes and of course jewelry. It was on the clearance rack y'all for $14. I snatched it up so quick. I found the shawl at Bealls outlet for $7. I would say I got a deal on the whole outfit. What I like about the shawl covering is I can wear it with other things too. 


Yes, I do love me some pockets! I found myself though putting a Kleenex in my pocket. Then I got tickled at myself because my granny never went anywhere without a Kleenex in her pocket! 


My sister passes this church going to work daily and she often snaps a picture of their marquee signs for me. I loved the sayings and so very true are these words.

I hope that you all have a wonderful week. Mine is pretty busy so my calendar tells me. Praise the Lord for calendar's huh? But, I plan to take each day with extending a little grace to myself. We all need a little dose of grace in life don't we? In closing I would like to share this meme. So very true!

So, let's make another person feel good this week y'all. I pray to be an extension of kindness to another this week in some way or another. How about you? 

Hugs and blessings to you all. Cindy

    I was just thinking of doing a post to thank a few people for some kindnesses...it is nice when people make you feel good. I hope I can do better every day. LOVE your new outfit. I like pockets too and now I hardly ever carry a purse so it's nice to have a place for my phone! Love the photo of your daughter and her husband. What a blessing to have a happy marriage! Enjoy your week! Hugs!

    Grin...you are a girl after my heart (bow hunting and hunting), grin...we were just discussing things today; and I will leave you with this thought; There are no political solutions to spiritual war. Then the kid (whose not a kid anymore) piped up, "I wonder with all the folks in the WORLD and not in the WORD will hear the trumpets sound?" Sadly...I pretty much think those who are saved will and the others won't.

    P.S. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to your daughter and her husband. smiles.

    Love, love, love those dresses....not so much the hunting gear! lol...Although I have a niece, 34, married and two kids that hunts. No issues doing field dressing or anything. I think that rocks, I just don't wish to be one of those women. I cried like crazy the other day to find Maybelline, pig, at the barn dead.

    What a great score on the outfit! You look fabulous! I'm always thrilled when I find a dress with pockets.

    I love how pansuits look on other people, but I think I'm too short (5'3") to pull it off???

    Ooo, love your new outfit! I stop in Catos now and then and usually find some new trendy outfit and I love their jewelry, too. Maybe I’ll stop in this week!! Congratulations on your daughter and SIL’s anniversary! They sure are blessed! I enjoy reading clever church marquees, too, and these made me chuckle. Wishing you a wonderful week, dear lady! Zenda

    Wow! That buck sure is beauty! I am amazed that you are able to pull that bow and actually hit the target! You are an amazing woman! Love the outfit...what a great find! And the shawl is very pretty indeed. Happy Anniversary to your "kids". Those years just seem to fly by, don't they? Hard to believe we will be celebrating our 52nd anniversary later this month. I can't even believe I am older than 52! LOL. Love the church signs...those are great. Always love to see what's "cooking" over around "Conner's pond". Have a blessed week.

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...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...
