{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...

{Happy Easter}

Happy Resurrection Day! I hope that you've all had a wonderful Easter today. 

We had such a wonderful Easter service at church this morning. I am so thankful that my family worship together at the same church as it sure makes it all the more sweeter.  

Our sweet granddaughter Adalynn (Ada) turned seven today as well so birthday celebration came after our Sunday dinner followed by a big Conner family egg hunt. It's been a busy day but a wonderful day.

Marty and I had a little Easter fun of our own yesterday decorating eggs. Who said that Easter fun is just for kids? LOL! 


I attended a lovely bridal shower for my (red headed niece) as I call her over the weekend and everything was so pretty. (picture on left I am with one of my sisters)


We celebrated Brittany with a wonderful brunch and just a sweet time of fellowship. 


I wanted to share with you a recipe for Chicken breast in the air fryer. I enjoy using my air fryer and this recipe is for sure a keeper. 

Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken

https://realhousemoms.com/air-fryer-parmesan-crusted-chicken/


I did add a few more spices and cooked several batches. The chicken was so very moist and very good. The mayo sure keeps the chicken moist. I used Hellmann's. I use mayo to coat under the skins and inside the cavity of turkeys when I bake or smoke them. It sure keeps that white meat moist. 

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and maybe enjoy a few left over Easter eggs or chocolate bunnies! 


Nana's Peeps always get an Easter goody and I always keep extra for Nana! LOL! 



Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Such a lovely photo of you all! Families are indeed a blessing. I wish I had an air fryer. I'd be very tempted to try that chicken recipe out. Blessings to you and your family.

      Thank you sweet lady. The bridal luncheon was truly lovely. Was like in my younger days when showers was a get together of spending time together. Eating, playing funny games and just visiting. Now days it seems no one has the time and everyone is in a hurry. Happy Week.

    I always love to see all your beautiful family gathered around you. What a blessing to have them nearby, and especially to go to church together. That is such a joy! Happy Birthday to your sweet little Adalynn. She is a sweetie. They are growing up too fast. I enjoyed this post so much. Never would have thought of the mayonnaise idea with chicken or turkey. Sounds good. I may have to try it. I don't have an air fryer, however, so not sure about how to do it otherwise. Blessings to you and yours in this powerful and wonderful Easter season.

      Thank you Pam. I always lift the skin of my turkeys and coat as much mayo with seasonings under the skin that I can and in the cavity. Turkey always juicy.

    What a blessed Easter you had, my friend! You all make such a beautiful picture. The chicken sounds so good. I’ll have to try that in my mini air fryer. Looks like you bought some of the same candy as I did for my grands!! Have a great week, Cindy! xx

    A belated Happy Easter Cindy! I love your family picture at church. We did not color eggs this year and the kids did not miss it. They love the confetti eggs more! Enjoy your week. I am off to my Bible journaling class.

      Our grands color eggs at their house. Marty likes to color eggs for him! LOL!!! For our big family Easter egg hunt we use plastic eggs. Mercy, cost too much to use REAL eggs! LOL!

    You're family is beautiful, Cindy... every one of them. Your grandson is so tall and looks grown! I know you have to love having all of you together at the same church. I would absolutely love that, too. I wish Jack would go to church. Many prayers appreciated. I love you, sweet Friend. 💜

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...
