{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...

{The Summer Is Almost Gone Ya'll}

Good Sunday afternoon everyone. Here we are at the end of August. My daughter's told me at lunch today that it has seemed like a short summer. They don't know anything yet! Wait till they get a little more age on them and they will wonder how it went from January to December in just a few short months! I will honestly say that I will be so grateful to feel a little fall in the air. I am completely over HOT! But, for us Floridians we might waiting a while on that cool crisp air! LOL!  


Our baby girl celebrated a birthday yesterday. She and hubby went out for the evening with several friends so we kept the littles. We celebrated her today with family. The caboose of the family was named after her daddy. His name is Marty so we named her Marti Leigh. Leigh was after my great grandmother which the spelling of her name was Dollie Lee. She may have her dad's name but she is indeed my mini-me. Mannerisms, looks, and well, a lot of my ways rubbed off on her. Amen or Oh Me? LOL! 

Fried chicken was on the menu today. Marty fries the best chicken ever!


Made an ice cream cake for her birthday and well, let's just say that if you like cake and ice cream then my mercy was this soooooo good! But, it cannot stay in this house. I am not a sweet eater but THIS was good! 


Isn't this sign too cute? Several friends and I had went and done a little shopping and out to lunch one day last week and I spotted this sign at Hobby Lobby. My youngest daughter home schools her littles so I thought this would be perfect for her class room. It was 75% off. Now that's a deal! 


My friends and I stopped in at a Goodwill to browse around. I saw this cup and laughed out loud. When me and my siblings were growing up my granny used to say..."My youngin's might not be perfect but at least they ain't ugly". YES, that coffee mug came home with me and we've had a good laugh off my granny's words. 


I hope that you all have a good week and enjoy the last few days of August. September is upon us for sure.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    That ice cream birthday cake looks fabulous! Is it 100% ice cream, or does it have a layer of cake?

    I've already switched out my summer decor for my fall decorations. Bring on the cozy autumn season!

      It's cake and ice cream Margie. Mercy...was so good. Good for you girl for switching out already on decor. I've been wanting to decorate my kitchen in Fall and have gotten summer put away but just haven't managed to pull out the Fall.

    Hi Cindy, Happy Birthday to your daughter!!!! You are right, time goes by way to fast! I have been busy all day and did get a few things done. That cakes looks so good! I do have to watch my sugars but can't say no to chocolate! That coffee mug is too funny! I just got a fall mug from Hobby Lobby. It has a black and tan doxie like my Minnie. Now my mind is on fall. I will start decorating after labor day. It will be as high as 108 this week. We are having a heat wave. Hot weather last until mid October. We sure need rain! Enjoy your week!♥

      Thank you. I am not sure why some of us are showing up on blogger anonymous. I am getting several but can tell pretty much what is spam and what isn't. Thanks so much.

    Happy Birthday to your sweet girl! The cake looks so yummy! I don't know why, but I have stopped being notified when you publish a new post. This is happening with other blogs I follow, too. I am so sorry I am so behind in reading your posts, but I am trying to catch up today! God bless you, sweet friend.

      Blogger has been somewhat crazy to me for a while Cheryl. Glad you stopped by. I have been so busy that I didn't get a post out this week.

    Not sure how I missed this one, except that I am just way behind! And yes, that mug is so true...you definitely don't have ugly kids or grandkids either! But you and your hubby are pretty nice looking too, so your kids just followed in your footsteps! I always enjoy visiting here. Glad I made it over. Hopefully things will start to calm down again and I can get caught up. Take care and God bless you all.

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...
