{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

{Celebrating Another Birthday! What A Blessing From God}

 

Well, my birthday was February 18th and I am just so thankful that God has given me another birthday. You know? When we are young we don't think too much about having another birthday as we simply take it for granite that it will come. BUT, as we get older we don't take anything for granite. Giving God the praise. 

AND YES...that cake was delicious! My three girls and I shared that huge slice of Red Velvet Cheese Cake. SOOOO GOOD!

My girls know how to pamper their mama and they carried me out to eat and to celebrate. We had such good food and a sweet time of fellowship. 

I think that I am going to have to copycat that wonderful cake and make it one Sunday for dinner!


God surely blessed me with these gals. He knew what I needed in my life. They keep me straight and sane! But, they bring me laughter, much love and joy!


I received a sweet card with a new tea to try from one of my blogging friends and the tea package is so pretty that I hate to open it. BUT I will and I can't wait to try it. How sweet of her to think of me.


I tried out this new tea that was gifted to me and oh my! It was so good and it did indeed taste just like Strawberry Cheesecake.


I decided one day last week to whip up some Lavender and Vanilla Bath salts for me and my girls. Oh my goodness it smells so good. A friend of mine gifted me a dozen yellow roses for my birthday and I used a few petals from one rose in the bath salts just to make it pretty. I have them drying now for future bath salts.

I have celebrated all month as that is what us Conner gals do. LOL! So...I will finish up the month with a birthday trip to the mountains. A change of scenery is always good and we are looking forward to some R & R along with some fun. I have a few more things to pack and then I am mountain bound. Pray for our travel safety if you think of us.

This will be out sweet cabin. I am ready for the fun to begin. 

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and remember to give God the praise for blessing you with another day of life. We are only on this earth for a short time.

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
