{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

{It's A Brand New Week}


 Hope this finds you all doing wonderful on this lovely Sunday afternoon. I wanted to pop in and share just a few pictures. I love my little pillows that I found at Walmart for my swing. I've been taking advantage of "swinging" in my new swing my FIL build. I love it that he made me a cup holder on the sides to hold my drink.


The weather has been nice and I've been able to sit on the front porch and swing till my heart is content.


My favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) went to the Junior prom with his girl. She attends a private Christian school and they had such a lovely time. Isn't her dress just so pretty? 


Of course mom and dad couldn't get left out of a picture. My daughter Kristy experienced a few emotions with her son going to his first prom. Oh those FIRSTS!


I just love the green bunnies and I see different friends using them in their Easter decor. I had looked at several places before Easter and could not find any or either they had sold out. I stopped one day at our local Family Dollar after Easter to pick up a few things and there these 4 sat on the clearance rack for $1.25 each. They went in my shopping cart quick! Now to hide them from my three daughters and put them where I will not forget where they are for next year! LOL! 

I will close today by sharing yet another wonderful devotional that ministered to me and I pray it does to you as well.



The question isn't "Have I been productive today" but "Have I been purposeful"?

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Oh, how sweet...the young couple look so wonderful! Yes, her dress is beautiful, and she appears to be a very lovely young lady. They do grow up so quickly. Blink and they are out of school and on their own...treasure every moment! Love your swing and pillows. Really sweet. And those green bunnies are extra sweet. You did good to snatch them! I hope you have a blessed and beautiful rest of your week.

    What a handsome grandson you have, Cindy, and his girlfriend is adorable, too. Thanks for sharing the family pictures with us!
    And the green bunnies? Congratulations for getting these for next Easter at such a bargain basement price! I, too, would have to be mindful where I stored them so I could easily find them next Easter. Blessings!

    Connor and his date look great. Yes, love her dress!

    Oh yes, do make a note to yourself so you remember where you tucked away those pretty green bunnies for next year’s Easter. I lost my pilgrims one year and didn’t find them until it was time to pull out the Nativity set!!

    Often I ask the Lord to help me fulfill the purpose for which He created me. Good thoughts you have shared with us today!

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

{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

{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
