I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
Good Sunday afternoon. I have been so slack this past week in making a post which I only do once a week! I'm also behind on visiting too. I've seen to stay so busy as of late and other things have surely grabbed my attention. Maybe I can keep up this week. LOL!
I did manage to get my table decorated for Fall. Now, if we would ONLY get some Fall temps I would be happy!
And...my sweet Fatherinlove always notices my table when he comes to eat with us every Tuesday night. That makes me happy.
I just love this tiered tray that I found at a Goodwill store for $1.99. It sure has served many purposes.
My handed down old dough bowl from my great-grandmother brings me much joy. I've used that dough bowl for lots of decorating. My great-grandmother and my grandmother made many a pan of biscuits using this bowl. I will try and share my Fall tree and some of my fall decor in living room next week. It's hard to decorate for Fall y'all when it's so stinking hot isn't it?
My girls and I decided last Sunday to go out after church and have lunch and do a little shopping. Not often I don't cook for my tribe on Sunday but this was surely a welcomed outing for a change.
One day last week for lunch I was hankering for a fried potato sandwich so I made myself a biggy size! Just can't beat a good fried tater sandwich with mayo.
Can you see me? LOL! Our yoga class decided to have a black light glow in the dark party with some yoga and fun music. It was a lot of fun. We plan to do it again in October.
Marty and I decided to take a day and do some white tail bow hunting. There is nothing like sitting out in the midst of God's beautiful creation. I do lots of praying, meditating and talking to the Lord when I am sitting in a tree stand. I guess there is just something about being alone in the quietness of no phones ringing, no agenda to keep up with and no one expecting anything from you.
Marty tried the new strawberry cheesecake pancakes from Cracker Barrel. He said it was good but way too sweet for him. Y'all, the man loves sweets so I was shocked. He is glad he tried them he said.
As you all know my goal this year is to do a Focus board for each month as I keep it on my breakfast bar where I see it daily, numerous times a day too. It is such a great way to stay focused and to meditate on God's Word.
I hope that you all have a great and wonderful week and your blessings be many.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Hello Cindy…I love your fall table! It looks beautiful and how sweet that you have your FIL every Tuesday. I know you enjoyed a Sunday off from cooking, I don’t know how you cook for all of your family every week, it is a labor of love. Wishing you a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam. Cooking for my family of 14 is surely a labor of love that I love.
DeleteI love your fall table and that gather plate! The tiered tray is so cute. I need to get my stuff out! That looked like a fun day with your girls! I never tried a fried tater and may sandwich. I need to! Your yoga studio looks so fun! I miss taking classes in person (my studio closed!). I hope you're off to a great week my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather Lou. I am so slow these days that I put a little out here and little out there. Marty told me get started on Christmas next week! LOL! I enjoy yoga. Keeps me moving.
DeleteI love all your Fall decorating. It's so pretty. And I love the picture of you and your girls. Also very pretty. That strawberry cheesecake pancake looks exactly like something I would love but I think we're all getting used to having our sweets less sweet than we used to. No wonder Marty found the filling too sweet. Have a wonderful week!!
ReplyDeleteGM, he said it was good but not something he would try for breakfast again. LOL!
DeleteYour Fall table looks so pretty Cindy! I've never heard of a "tater sandwich" it sure looks good! I'm glad you've been busy doing things you love with people you love, life doesn't get any better than that!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Thanks Jenna. Girl, you gotta try it! Hit the spot for me that day.
DeleteYour Fall decor looks so pretty, Cindy. It is hard to decorate with our high temperatures. I am getting things out, too, because I love my Fall decor. Your yoga looks like fun and shopping with your girls must’ve been joyful! Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kitty. Yes, hard to get into the Fallish mood with it being so hot and humid. Guess I need to turn the AC down really low! But wait...our electric bill.........LOL!
DeleteI love your pumpkin plates. So cute. All the decor looks great. And coming to your blog always makes me hungry!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. Those little gather plates are my fav.
DeleteAll the girls in your family are so beautiful! Love that yoga class too! I wonder if I'll put out Fall stuff....I want to but just haven't been in the mood! I've been cleaning house though so that's a good start! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Yes girl, I have to be in the mood too to decorate and here lately it seems I find too many other things to do. LOL!
DeleteYour fall table looks great and your yoga class party looks such fun.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try yoga ... perhaps one day I will :)
Our shops now have Autumn/Fall and Halloween items for sale plus Christmas cards - the year is flying by.
Take care and have a good week.
All the best Jan
I love yoga Jan. So good for my muscles to stretch and keeps me moving. Yes, Fall stuff out here as well and I am sure by next week Christmas will be out. LOL!
DeleteYour autumn tablescape looks lovely, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteThe tiered tray is a great score from Goodwill. I'd love to have the "Hello Fall" mug (not that I need any more mugs! Hee!).
Thanks Margie.
DeleteEverything looks so autumnal. I do enjoy the colors of autumn. Fried potato sandwich you say? Have never heard of such a thing. Looks fabulous! ☺️
ReplyDeleteThanks Vee. Tater sandwich is yummy.
DeleteI always love to see your tablescape for each season! It always looks so welcoming and festive! And how much fun that you and your girls all went out and did some shopping together after church. That sounds like so much fun! Oh, I don't believe I've ever had a fried potato sandwich before! That sure sounds really good! But I wonder...what would it taste like with sour cream and cheese instead of mayo? Might be worth a try! LOL. Now I want some. Love your funny yoga pictures. This was a real treat! Those pancakes look interesting too. Thank you for sharing with us! have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam.
DeleteOh, no apologies, no need to keep up! Just sit back and enjoy this season filled with people you love and interesting things to focus on! I'm sure you'll have a perfectly golden weekend, friend. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda.
DeleteCindy, I usually get an email notification of your blog post and I haven't been getting them. How sweet you have your Father-in- love for dinner each week. I know he looks forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you and hubby got to spend some time together bow hunting.
Your Sunday outing picture turned out well. It is hard to do a selfie of a group.
Your fall decorations are so pretty.
Thanks Bonnie. I have no clue what is going on with blogger anymore.
DeleteCindy, I hope this comment comes through. For some crazy reason Blogger is giving me a very difficult time commenting....and it won't let me reply to comments on my own blog! I wanted to thank you for your sweet comment after I've been away from my blog for soooo long!!! I love your fall table. I decorated for fall too although it sure doesn't feel like fall here in south GA. It got a little cooler this week but is to go back in the high 90s this week. I am soooooo looking forward to "real" fall weather. Now I'm going to catch up on some of your latest posts and hope that this comment comes through!
ReplyDeleteBlogger having issues Cheri for a long time now. It sure makes it hard to do anything on any social media these days and I am speaking in general. Glad you stopped by.
DeleteHi Cindy, I finally made it in today. I tried two times but only got an html page. Great pictures as always. How nice that you got a girl's day out. Your tablescape is so nice! Do you leave it up all fall? I had a dining room in my last house. This house just has the large kitchen table. I have started my fall decorating, but it is hard to decorate when it is over 90 outside! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet to catch up with you here tonight, dear friend. I am still not getting your posts in my email. I have no idea why. So much strangeness with blogger these days. I trust you are doing well and miss you in our studies. May the Lord richly bless you always.
