{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

{Enjoying Each Day}

Well good Sunday Afternoon everyone. I hope that your week and weekend has been most delightful. Thought I would share just a few highlights from my week. Marty and I had a day date one day through the week and decided to stop at this little bagel place.  Well, when I hear bagel I immediately think of cream cheese ya know?  But to my surprise this place had an array of bagel sandwiches. Any kind of bagel was offered and I choose a loaded ham and cheese toasted and topped with jalapenos. So good! The service was excellent, price was good and oh was my bagel sandwich tasty.  If you have an Einstein Bros. Bagel close to you I would recommend giving them a try.  Our 6 year old granddaughter lost her first two teeth. She was excited and nervous about the teeth pulling ordeal but she loved it that the tooth fairy came to see her. DANG...tooth fairy giving lots of money these days! LOL!  A sweet blogging friend sent me a package of lovely tea called "Sweet Nothing...

{Happy Resurrection Day}

Hello to all on this wonderful Resurrection Sunday. Our family surely enjoyed a wonderful time of praise and worship this morning at church and then home to a great lunch. We then gathered with other family and had our annual Conner Egg hunt. We gathered just in the nick of time too as the bottom fell out with rain. But, at least it held off so the kids could hunt eggs.   We gather together at my father-in-law's home for all that can come and the kids have such a great time together. We always hide two prize eggs. One for the younger age children and one for the older children. This year the younger child found $15. The older one found $30. Dang, I think next year I might get in on the annual egg hunt. LOL!  Our sweet Annaleigh was so excited to find an egg.  This isn't the best picture by any means as it was so bright but it's my family and I give praise for each and every one of them. We are a very close family and we all worship together at the same church and well, wh...

{The Happenings Of Life }

  Good Sunday Afternoon everyone. I hope you all are doing well and enjoying each day to its fullest. I wanted to share a few things that I have managed to accomplish this week. I am telling y'all, the retired life will keep ya busy! LOL! I usually keep a little corner chair in this spot as most know and I decorate it but decided to use a little serving tray stand instead and dress it up a bit.  I love my cute little teapot. I found it years ago at a thrift store for $3 and it sure has brought me lots of joy using it over the years.  My sweet FIL who eats with us every Tuesday night kept asking me when I was going to "dress my table up again" . I love it that he notices when I don't DRESS it up. So kept it simple but I must say I love the simplicity of it. My FIL will be happy to see my table all dressed up. I come up with a little quick yummy lunch using the air fryer this week. I love using things that I have on hand in my frig. or pantry and these things I had on ...

{Having Too Much Fun This Week}

I sure hope that your week and weekend has been wonderful for you. We have been enjoying a beautiful afternoon sitting outside and watching the grands play after our Sunday dinner.  But, all my family has headed home and I am enjoying a few clippings from my bridal wreath.  I love fresh flowers and greenery.  I've been playing again y'all! Made the grand girls and daughters some lip balm. It had not melted good and settled when I snapped this picture but they turned out so cute. I made a few peppermint and a batch of pink lemonade. Smells so yummy! Aren't the containers just too cute?  I decided to try some different flavors and techniques this week with soap making and I was pleased with how pretty they all turned out. I can't decide which is my favorite but trying out the peaches and cream tonight.  But, the peppermint and lemon is grabbing my attention too! LOL!  I've gifted several this week and was asked by my Yoga instructor if I would like to put som...
