{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

{Happy December Everyone}

 

Hello to everyone. I am so sorry that I have been missing in action with blogging as of late. I wanted to pop in and to tell you sweet friends that I am doing fine. Many of you have reached out to me. Marty and I have tried to do more hunting together this season and though he isn't retired he has taken an extra day here and there off so we have tried to hunt more. Marty's dad was also under the weather for a spell and though he is much better and able to hunt with us that surely requires extra time and attention and we are thrilled that he is able to go with us when we go. We've honestly had a lot going on and it would take too long for me to share. However, I wanted to pop in and say hey and that I do pray that you all have a very Merry Christmas. I am hoping to get back to some normalcy soon. Not sure what normal is at times but I give God the praise for every day we have. 


I did harvest a nice buck on one my trips. The Lord just simply found favor in me on that cold Georgia morning. 


I've gotten all my Christmas decor done except for my dining table and I am doing it tomorrow I hope. I did get the most important part of my decor up early though and have been enjoying this beautiful nativity set my three daughters gave to me. 

As most of you know I was challenged to do a focus board each month for the new year, 2022. I have been faithful to do that each month and it has been so good for me in lots of ways. My December focus says it all for me. 

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and I will be dropping in this week to visit, God willing. God bless each of you and may all of your Christmas wishes come true.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  4. I was beginning to wonder, but had seen your posts on FB, so knew you were alive and well! That buck is huge! I hope you all enjoy lots of good venison dinners from that one! What all do you fix with that? I'd be curious to know. Love your nativity set! That is really really special, especially that your daughters all gave it to you. And I love your focus board and verses. That's been very special to see each month. God bless you dear friend. I hear you about normalcy, etc. It's been crazy for us too, but it's all good and we are blessed. Have a very Merry Christmas season.

  5. I'm glad that Marty's dad is doing better. Your scripture verse is a sweet reminder that Jesus is our hope and our strong tower. I'm glad you enjoyed the hymn on my blog. I do love some of the modern contemporary Christian music but there is something about those old hymns that touch my heart. Have a lovely week, my friend.

  13. Oh it's so good to see you again, sweet Cindy! I'd come by here and there to see if you'd written and all I can say is that you've been missed. You are a ray of sunshine, girl! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas season. I know there'll be lots of love and laughter and joy around the table because that's who you are.

    And yes, one of blogging's many pleasures is that we make our own schedule and can come and go as we please. It's all grace. Enjoy right where you are, friend.

  15. Like you, Cindy, I've had some things going on that prevented me from indulging in blog reading and commenting as much as I like to do. But everybody understands, and we are just glad to see that you are still alive and well! (smile) Your decorations and sharing Scripture are always inspiring and helpful to me in the deepest places of my being. Hugs to you!

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
