{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

{Sweetest Tiered Trays For Valentines}

Good afternoon everyone. The weather is dreary in my neck of the woods so here's my choices this afternoon: Eat potato chips (my weakness) or look on line at different Valentine tiered tray decor. So, I am being a good girl and looking at some cute ideas. In case you are a tiered tray kinda of gal too I thought I'd share some cute ones with you.  









These are all Web images and I didn't post the links but aren't these adorable? 

Not sure if y'all are a Brenda Gnatt fan but she is so down to earth and I enjoy watching her cooking videos. She recently shared two recipes so sharing them with you all.

Thankfully I have some pecans from Georgia in the freezer! YIKES,  the cost of pecans is CRAZY! But, what isn't right? 


I see a chocolate pie in the baking line up for this week!

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and maybe whip up a chocolate pie. With or without the pecans! LOL!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  1. Chocolate pie does sound delish. Yes, I do enjoy watching Brenda Gantt. I watch on You Tube, but I understand that those videos aren't legit. (I don't do FB.)

    Do you watch Crystal Tara's vlog on You Tube? She loves tiered trays and does them often. I'm afraid that I don't quite understand the attraction. 🥴

    1. Thanks Vee. I just subscribe to Crystal's vlog. LOL on the tiered trays. My youngest daughter struck my appeal with them a couple of years ago. Happy week to you dear Vee.

  2. Sounds delicious, and I love the tiered tray ideas. Thank you for sharing them with us. Glad you made good use of your quiet and dreary afternoon! I went outside and cut back the dead flowers in my butterfly garden. Hopefully the flowers will come back and also I hope we don't get any more frost or freezes! I am ready for spring! have a blessed week.

    1. The lack of rain in our area and couple of frosts surely has done a number on little plants and flowers. Hoping to get those garden gloves out soon.

  3. I am loving the tiered trays and purchased a new one early in January. The ones you've chosen to share are so cute, giving me a lot of cute ideas! Yes, I'm a Brenda Gantt fan, the recipe you shared looks to be delicious. But alas, I'm on a no sweets/sugar diet fighting diabetes. Why don't you make it and eat a bite for me. :)

  5. Hi there sweet Cindy! I'm doing some blog visiting today! So happy to stop by and say hello to you! I just love those tiered trays too. I have a couple of them myself. I like to decorate with vintage things, and fill the trays with sweet little vintage things. I haven't redone my tray yet, but you've inspired me! My MIL gave me some darling handkerchiefs and I think I will use those in my tray.

    Oh, I love sweet Brenda! She is always so inspirational and her down-home cooking is always so yummy. She is just precious. I saw her make that pie, and it did sure look good. Like Mary, we are trying to do without sugar here, and it certainly changes a lot of things!

    Always so good to "visit with you" I hope you are having a wonderful and blessed day dear friend! Love and hugs!

  7. Can you believe that I don’t even have a tiered tray like those? I have china ones for serving, but not like those. They are darling, but I always wonder where I’d store it when not in use.
    The pie sounds fabulous and I do have a recipe for pie crust like that, which I love. I’ll have to check out Brenda.
    Have a beautiful week, my friend. It’s freezing 🥶🥶 cold here in Texas! Hugs and blessings!

  16. I love adding some pecans or walnuts on the pie crust when I am making it. It just gives it that special little crunch when you bite into it! Now, I am hungry after reading this. LOL!

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
