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...
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.
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 Nothings" and I took some time out to pamper myself with a cup of hot white tea, relaxing music, a little reading for the soul and a lavender bath salt's bath. YEP, the joys of retirement!
Yes indeed, His mercies are new each morning.
I haven't shared our little fun food lately but Marty and I sure enjoy a Friday afternoon sitting by our pond and our fun foods.
I had to share this as it brought a little chuckle. I can remember when growing up we ate all sandwiches, hamburgers and even hot dogs on regular bread. My daughters had a good laugh with this as they reminded me that they too ate ALL sandwiches on regular bread while growing up. I am not sure just how old I was before I knew you could buy buns! However, we didn't starve or go without. Good old fashion bread is probably still my #1 choice. Especially if it's fresh!
Well, I didn't cook this weekend y'all! No Sunday dinner at my house. Felt a little strange to be honest. Two of my daughters was on a little family vacation so my oldest daughter invited us to lunch at her house. It was a treat for me. However, I felt almost guilty about not cooking. Well, not for too long though! LOL!

I hope that you all have a most wonderful week and enjoy each day that the Lord gives to you.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
It's nice you got the night off from cooking. I love your Friday fun food meals! That cutie did get a lot from the tooth fairy. Dang is right! We do have an Einstein Bros and love it! We use sandwich bread as buns too!
ReplyDeleteGirl, the tooth fairy was quite generous. I can remember maybe getting a quarter! LOL!
DeleteGood morning, dear Cindy. What a blessed week! You all sure eat well in your world and yes, it was a special treat to have Sunday lunch at your daughter's home. Wishing you another beautiful week full of God's blessings! Zenda
ReplyDeleteThanks Zenda. Your post are showing up anonymous friend. But I see your name attached.
DeleteOh boy that tooth fairy is very generous and how cute is her story book and the tooth fairy pillow. My granddaughter has the same book and pillow. Einsteins does make some of the best bagels. Glad you found this place and some of their good eats. Ha ha we had our hot dogs on bread too growing up! Happy New Week. Enjoy. xoxo Kris
ReplyDeleteI thought the pillow and book was so cute too. What will they come up with next? LOL!
DeleteA week without cooking much is called vacation no matter where you are! I hove to see you enjoying all your new free time Cindy!
ReplyDeleteAMEN girl!
DeleteOh lunch at your daughter's house had to have been great. It's good to check on them and make sure they know how to do it! ☺️ My goodness! If the Tooth Fairy is giving that kind of money...hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI know right Vee! All my daughters are great cooks. YEP that tooth fairy better hope that our little Ada doesn't start pulling her own teeth! LOL!
DeleteNot sure if my first comment went through. Love the tooth fairy book and pillow and how generous the tooth fairy is these days. My grand daughter has that tooth fairy book and pillow too. Glad you had a little break from cooking and enjoyed lunch at your daughters home. Have a great new week. xoxo Kris
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris. Yes mam. It went through.
Delete"His mercies are new every morning..." I love that verse and often quote it when times get tough. I sometimes amend it to "His mercies are new every hour!!!"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, Cindy. You have such a lovely family and family habits that bless you over and again. When the children step up to the plate to minister to parents, how wonderful that is!
Thanks Barbara. Every minute of every hour His mercies are new.
DeleteWOW That Tooth Fairy sure is expensive, I guess inflation caught up to her, grinning. I enjoyed this post and I love your tea cup too, smiles.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thanks Linda.
DeleteMy 7 year old granddaughter, Harper, lost two teeth recently, too. Yes, the tooth fairy sure pays well nowadays. Lol! You snd your daughter look beautiful. Yes, I’ve had an Einstein breakfast sandwich and it was excellent. That was a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to enjoy your retirement with tea, music, soulful readings and a bath! That’s my kinda relaxation! Have a great week, Cindy!
I love me a nice relaxing salt bath for sure. Thanks Kitty.
DeleteWow, the tooth fairy is making it rain! HA!
ReplyDeleteI love bagel with cream and lox!
What did you think of white tea? My taste buds must have evolved because I'm into floral (like lavender) teas now...
That bagel was good. I made myself a bagel pizza today in air fryer. Yummy.
DeleteHow nice that you were invited to your daughter's for Sunday lunch. She looks like a sweetie, just like her Mom.
ReplyDeleteIt was surely nice for a change GM.
DeleteThe tooth fairy was generous! That bagel looked good. My husband and I were just talking about what bread we used. Weber's or Wonder. I love the Numbers verses. It was the verses we ended our meeting at youth group. I also love the song The Blessing. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteYep, those tooth fairies had to go on the price like everything else huh? LOL!
DeleteI wish the tooth fairy would visit me as one of my teeth broke off last night. Ugh. It is so nice that you and your husbands can spend afternoons together. Has he retired also. Dinner at your daughter's must have been a special treat. My sister died so our week-end was out of town for that. Left me exhausted Sunday and Monday. Our son drove us which was so nice and took good care of us. That was a blessing. Nancy
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your tooth and hope you get it fixed soon. So very sorry to hear of your sister passing Nancy. Bless your heart. You've had your hands full. Marty has not retired.
DeleteThe bagel looks amazing, Cindy. You are certainly enjoying your retirement and it looks great on you. I know it was a pleasure to enjoy a Sunday where you didn’t cook and was treated by your daughter. Happy Wednesday dear one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment. I wish I knew who you were so I could send you a message of thanks personally. But thanks for commenting.
DeleteMy kids had a very forgetful tooth fairy, so she had to compensate by giving big money:). It is a beautiful thing when your kids grow up and are your friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comment.
DeleteThe tooth fairy sure looks like fun and brings back memories! Love that sweet smile! I love bagels and wish we had a good bagel shop! Enjoy your day and this beautiful sunshine. Hugs Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane. So glad you stopped by.
DeleteCindy,
ReplyDeletesure looks like you are enjoying your retirement!! good for you!! Thanks for visiting!! Stay safe, healthy and Happy!!
Hugs,
Deb
I am Deb. Staying busy but for the most part I am as busy as I choose to be. Enjoying retirement for sure.
DeleteIt is nice you had a break from hosting yourself. You deserve a break and it was fun to go to your daughters home I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI guess inflation has kicked in with even the tooth fairy.
Always fun to hear about your adventures.
I've been out of town for a few weeks and so behind on blog commenting. I'm sorry I've missed some of your posts.
Thanks Bonnie for stopping by. Hope you will share any fun that you've had in the past few weeks.
DeleteThe tooth fairy was very generous ... lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have lunch at your daughters.
Enjoy these last days of April and have a happy month of May.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan and Happy May to you! Can't believe it!
DeleteYum.....you and your daughter are so cute.
ReplyDeleteDear, sweet friend! I keep your blog posts in my inbox until I can have the time to sit and absorb them. They always encourage me so much. It may take me a while to get here, but it is always so worth the wait! You look so beautiful in the photo, and I imagine it did feel awful odd not cooking on a Sunday, but sure surely deserve a big break! You have such a servant's heart and are always doing so much for others. May the Lord richly bless you and your family. I am continuing to pray for you. Sending much love to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl.
DeleteThat bagel looks so delicious! I think that's so neat that you always cook on Sundays. I absolutely NEVER cook on Sundays, Hubby and I go to lunch with friends. Since our daughter and family live 8 hours away it's a bit different. We usually have our son and his wife and daughters over on Saturdays. It's always a joy to stop by and see what you've been up to. Happy week!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lea.
