{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  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...

{Happy Week Y'all}

Anyone else there with me? LOL! 

Good Sunday afternoon everyone. I hope that your week has been great. I've had a productive week so it's always good to chill out on Sunday after church with the family. 


After our usual Sunday Dinner my soninlove David carried us for a ride on the old dirt roads.  It was nice as it was far too hot to do our usual outside sitting by the pond.

My granddaughter Kyleigh started back to school this past Monday as she is a week later going to school than her sister. She goes to a private school but sadly, several of her classmates has covid so now she's out this next week.  It's just so sad that we are still still experiencing the battle of Covid but I know this is the norm for life on this earth. 

Several of my friends met up on the mats this week and we had a great time. I think we laugh more than we do anything, at each other and ourselves but what would we do without laughter in this world in which we live?

We celebrated my friend Mary's 81st birthday on the mats. Miss Mary does weight lifting training and competitions and has won several in her division. She is such a precious lady and full of energy. I told her that I wanted to be just like her when I grow up. She said, "Well, I am still not sure what I want to be when I grow up". LOL! 

I made a batch of pork fingers in my air fryer one afternoon last week and oh my mercy! They were so good and juicy. I know that I have told y'all before but...I do enjoy using my air fryer. 

I hope that you all have a great week and that the Lord blesses you beyond your beyond.

  1. That last quote is so true...God is good...All the time, God is good! We say that every Sunday morning in the beginning of our service. I love your family photo...all of you in that truck or whatever it was? Looks like a lot of fun! And then you and all those sweet ladies laughing and exercising and having a good time! What fun! You make me smile! Oh, I am sorry that covid has delayed school for your sweet grandgirl. This is just crazy. Praying it will go away and stay away for good, in Jesus' Name!! Those pork fingers look good. You do make the best stuff. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed and beautiful week all week long!

  2. I don't know about my friends, but I am pretty forgetful. 😏 Awww...gotta love kids who want to be teachers when they grow up. A worthy calling to be sure when teaching truth and nothing less. Nice to be with family doing fun things. Have a good week!

  3. Too bad Kyleigh has to miss school because of classmates that have the dreaded Covid. It sure is a plague. I love that picture of a bunch of you taking a Sunday drive around just for fun. Might as well enjoy the summer even if it is hot. I must say though that it's really bothered me this year. I'm looking forward to Fall and cooler weather. Wearing a cardigan and jeans again.
    It took a while until I really used my air fryer but now I like it. Middle son made some awesome jalapeno poppers in it on Saturday and he and I feasted ( no one else likes spicy food).
    Have a wonderful week!!

    1. Oh my mercy, I haven't tried the poppers yet and I have some jalapeno's about ready for harvest. We have fried and grilled poppers but excited to try them in air fryer. YES, bring on the cooler weather.

  5. My memory is also terrible these days! A few weeks ago, I took my parents' car out for a drive and forgot to close the rear windows...and of course, it seems like all the neighbours noticed and alerted my parents. LOL.

    Forgive my ignorance, but how does an air fryer work? You fry things without using oil?

    1. LOL Margie! Parent's notice everything! Yes girl...google air fryer. So much better for you but I've not cooked anything that I did not like! Now some things weren't my favorite as with anything, it's trial and error.

  6. We sure do need laughter with our friends, Cindy! You all look fabulous, too, and Mary is an inspiration! That’s too bad about Kyleigh out for a week. That Covid is here to stay. Your pork fingers look so tasty. I hope you have a joyous week, Cindy!

  7. Sounds like a busy week but one that I am sure you enjoyed so much. My grands have been in school for right at two, maybe three weeks now. Crazy. Here in Nashville when I was in school we went to school the week after Labor Day and then that next week we had a day off for Fair Day. But, we would go into June due to snow days but now they get out before the end of May. Hoping you have a great week.

  8. Oh yes, the coffee maker! My hubby and I were at the antique store, and I saw my old Cornflower blue stove top coffee maker for sale. It was almost $70! I have a rice maker for fluffy white or brown rice. Mexican rice has to be done on the stove. I should not be thinking about food late at night! Enjoy your week too Cindy!

    1. Anything cornflower blue in an antique store is costly for sure.

  9. Laughter is a good medicine and we certainly need it now. I love seeing all of you enjoying an afternoon ride. Wishing you a lovely week, Cindy!

  10. Okay, I'm going to have to try some pork tenders in our air fryer. 81, my goodness, she looks so good. I want to be like her when I grow up too. Happy everything!

  11. Isn't it nice to know that you're not the only one whose memory blanks out from time to time? I'm glad to hear I'm in good company, girl!

  12. Laughter with family and friends is wonderful ...

    I do like the photograph of Kyleigh, and who knows she may well become a teacher in future years :)

    Enjoy these last August days and my good wishes for a happy September.

    All the best Jan

  13. I love the meme at the end. God surely is so good to all of us. I think I am finally caught up on your blog posts. I am so aggravated that I no longer get them in my email. I don't know how to fix the problem and hope I can remember to come by to read more often. I know a lot of readers are no longer getting my posts, either, and I miss their comments. Such is life in this crazy world. God bless you, sweet friend.

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...

{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...
