{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

{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.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

But I never thought about a cheesecake bottom to the cake! That looks pretty amazing! And that cabin looks even more amazing!!! How wonderful to take a mountain trip and stay in such a lovely spot. Enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!! Praise the Lord!

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

{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

{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
