{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

{This and That}

 Good Sunday Afternoon to all. I hope that you are all enjoying your summer. It's sure been a hot and humid summer. Not sure if it's because I am getting older or what but I sure can't do this heat like I used too.

Thought this about the GPS was too funny! 


Marty and I enjoyed watching our grandgirl Mallory play softball this weekend. She plays on a travel ball team and most often the distance is just too far for us to go to only a few games. However, this game was only an hour and a half from us so we had the opportunity to go. We love watching her play. It's always fun to see the grands doing what they love.

We had a up close visit with this cutie this past week. We had a day date and stopped to grab lunch and we ate outside. This guy shows up and made his rounds to the different tables in hopes someone would drop him a few crumbs. Of course I did!

Mallory and I got new yoga shirts. I'm really going to miss having her tag along with me to class when school starts back. 
Made some yummy stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer and Marty loved them. You just can't go wrong using cheese! I enjoying using my air fryer so much. 

Whipped up a new tea last week and it was so good. I stepped a Twinings Soothing Tumeric Tea bag in 8 ounces of water and added orange and pineapple juice along with a 1/4 teaspoon of Guanna Powder for the caffeine. It was so good and refreshing. 

I am continuing to pick fresh tomatoes every day and cannot eat them fast enough. I've gifted quite a few to family and friends. I did notice today that I am getting down to just a few tomatoes left to ripen. I will miss them when they are gone. Nothing better than fresh.

I hope that you all have a great week and along with me to remember that there is nothing that we go through or deal with that our Lord can't see us through it. He is always there for us no matter what. Some days we just simply need to be reminded of that promise.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  1. I make my tea every morning but all my ingredients are from Herbalife. I guess I should venture out and try to use other brands and see what I can come up with. I just use, strawberry and mango flavoring, tea, aloe juice and some Stevia. Love it! Have yourself a great week Cindy!

  3. Very encouraging words!

    I have yet to make one of my grandson's ballgames. He plays on a traveling team as well and has been out of state for the past two weekends in tournaments. Maybe, things will wind down in the next few weeks.

    Your iced tea recipe sounds delicious and refreshing.

  4. Your tomatoes look so good! I can hardly wait for ours to grow big and ripen.
    I never thought of roasting stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer. I'll be trying that for sure. Now that it's so warm and I don't want to use the oven I'm using the air fryer more often.
    Have a wonderful week.

    1. I've enjoyed my tomatoes so much and going to miss them. I use my air fryer quite a bit. So much better than having to heat everything up in the house especially during these hot months.

    1. Thank you! I used to always be able to let things roll and I kept it together. Seems the older I have gotten the more I have to stay on top of things and stay focused on the Lord.

  9. How fun to go watch Mallory play softball! Your stuffed mushrooms looks so good, Cindy. I need to try those in my air fryer. Your tea looks might tasty, too, and pretty. Thank you for the quotes that you share. I needed that last one, with Pray, trust and keep moving. Our country has me worried, but I need to remember that God is in control. Have a great week...blessings and hugs.

    1. Kitty, I am right there with you girl. Remembering that God is on control of all things. I keep trying to remember something one of my granddaughters said when she was little. "Nana, God is da boss". Out of the mouth of babes.

    I have started to develop a taste for turmeric and recently bought a turmeric latte mix.

  14. How fun to get to go to the softball game. It is nice doing yoga with the kids and you'll miss them. What a great thing to instill in them. Love the new shirts. Those mushrooms looks delectable! You always think of new things to use the airfryer for! That squirrel got really close. We have them out on our deck but they run from us usually. That tea looks so refreshing. I could go for some right now! My tomatoes are just starting to ripen!

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
