{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

{Fun with the littles}

 Good Sunday afternoon y'all. I hope that you all have had a great week. We actually got about 2 inches of rain yesterday and it was so nice. It did cool off a bit and this morning we had a nice breeze as we enjoyed coffee on the front porch. But...no breeze or rain today. HOT! 


The youngest two grands stared their new school year in which my daughter who taught school in the public school system for 11 years teaches them at home. Adalynn and Annaleigh are very blessed to have their mom teach them. They love it and of course they had to get all gussied up for their first day of school pictures you know? 


The youngest three grands stayed with Papa and Nana Friday and Saturday as for an early birthday outing my daughter had the chance to go see Alan Jackson in Savannah, Ga. They couldn't wait for Papa to get home so he could ride them around on the 4-wheeler. Never mind that he had been up since 4 am and returned home about 6 pm. from work. What we do for the grands, right?


Of course we done a little yoga, nails, and played around with makeup. They love doing yoga to the Christian song called Oceans by Hillsong. And, like their Nana, their favorite part is being rewarded with a cool wash cloth and rest. LOL! Mine have essential oils on them so I put a tad of orange (Kid safe) on their wash clothes. Just enough they felt so special. We made them ahead of time and put them in the freezer for just a bit so they would be nice and cool.

We had baked some cookies but I cheated this time and used packaged chocolate chip cookie mix.  It sure didn't matter to them as they gobbled them up! They did save Papa a few though. 


Then we baked a cake for Sunday dinner. The best part is licking the beater or spoon you know!


Our granddaugher Kyleigh started snapping pictures using filters. So glad they know how to do this! LOL! Grands are surely so much fun but I will tell you, this Nana was tired. I only wish that I had just a tad of their energy. They say, "grandchildren will keep you young". Well, I am not so sure that meant body wise but they sure keep me younger mind wise as I try so hard to look through their eyes, listen to their words and hear what they hear. Oh the joys of children....

A friend of mine will occasionally "dump" all of her saves that she keeps on her phone and I  always love to read them. I hope that these speak to your heart as they did mine. Many times her little "saves to her phone dump" come at just the right time. I hope that you all have a wonderfully blessed week. 
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  7. Your husband's expression as he listens cracked me up. Having the explanation that it had been a long day made perfect sense. It is obviously great fun for the girls to spend time with you. You make life fun!

  9. Always fun to see your delightful granddaughters. I don't know how to do the photo filters either, so I stick with the normal photos. LOL.

  10. You continue to make the most wonderful memories with your grandchildren, and especially when you have them all to yourself for those overnight visits.

    The special graphics from your friend are so encouraging!

  11. Hi Cindy, I enjoyed all the pictures. That is nice that your daughter can homeschool. The tractor picture reminded me of my grandfather. He hitched a wagon to the back of his lawnmower and pulled us around. Yoga to Oceans is great. I love that song! I love the matching headbands. Enjoy your week!

  14. I've had our girls the past two weeks during the day because their Mom went back to work two weeks before their school starts. We had all kinds of fun, pedicures, crafts, cookie baking and more. Have a great weekend!

  15. Hi, Cindy - I think I'm like a voice from the past. We've had so much going on and have done a lot of traveling over the past few months. I love the pictures of your grandkids. They are growing up so fast, as are mine. I'd love to know more about your essential oils on your washcloth. I recently started with essential oils. I'll be back again to see what you have to share.

  16. Oh, wow! Our friends went to see Alan Jackson, too! I am pretty sure it was that same exact concert. He is so wonderful. One of the true-blue country classic musicians. I will be sad when he retires! Your little grands are just so precious!

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
