{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

{March Is Underway}


 Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL! 
We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun.
The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!!
Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL! 
We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said!

I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!  We had a great time.
I want to give a shout out to my sweet friend and sister in Christ Cheryl Smith. I received a copy of her latest Homespun Devotions, Vol. 2. Cheryl is a gifted writer and wonderful woman of God. You can find her books on Amazon. 
I will post a review when I finished reading it but her real life stories are so heart touching and thought provoking. 

Pop over and visit Cheryl's blog.

I will close with another short devotional that speaks to us all at some point of our lives. YES, WE MATTER to King Jesus.


I hope that your March is in everyway more beautiful than you can imagine.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    I love that last quote about the empty cup. I never heard that before, but it sure is true. Too often we get so caught up in the here and now and what just HAS to be done and we put ourselves last so much that we have nothing left. That's a dangerous place to be. Gotta keep our cup filled with Jesus' love and His Spirit, or we will run dry. Loved your sweet times with the grandgirls. They sure are blessed to have you for a Nana. That breakfast tea party sounds wonderful...lol. I had to laugh about the chocolate chip cookies. My mother or grandmother would never have allowed that for breakfast! LOL. Sounds pretty good to me! I hope your month of March is filled to brim with more of God's love than you can hold and it just overflows! Thank you for your post! Always a blessing.

      Pam, I must remind myself often of that quote but I try too. This Nana will let her grands have things that I wouldn't let their moms have! Amazing how things change! LOL!

      LOL! The youngest one asked her mom the next day: :Mama, can I have just a spoonful of sugar for a snack? My daughter said, "No mam, you cannot! Annaleigh said: Nana let me yesterday and said a spoonful of sugar just makes me sweeter! OH BOY!!! Needless to say, she did not get any sugar! LOL!

      Yes girl, cookies good any time! My 6 grands are ages 18, 16, 15, 11, 6 and 4 and all but one about to have a birthday. They sure are growing up so quick. I try to savor every moment for sure.

    I'm not a fan of wigs either.

    What tea did you serve for the breakfast tea party?

    You and those girls sure have some fun times together, Cindy. The wigs were too funny, and the tea party looked mighty tasty. Cheryl’s book is so inspirational! What gifts she has with her singing and writing. The quote about the cup is sure a true one! Have a great week, sweet friend. 😘🤗

    Cindy, hi! No truer words were ever spoken than the ones about trying to pour from an empty cup. If we try too long, we'll burn out ... no fresh vibrant water to give to another thirsty soul. Thanks for this needed reminder, friend.

    You are the BEST Nana! What a fun sleepover for you all. Coffee is my BFF too. I loved the pic of you on the horsey. You still got it!! I hope you're still having a great March!

    Looks like you had fun with your grands. It is harder to do things with the grands now. We will all meet up tomorrow. My daughter moved to a bigger place and is having us all over for lunch. My oldest granddaughter is a big introvert and likes to read. My younger granddaughter is more like me, an extrovert and crafter. I just love them each in a way that connects with them. Your cookies looks so good! Enjoy your weekend.

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

{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
