{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

{It's almost February}

We are about to in February y'all and do you know what that means? Well, for starters February will kick off my birthday month but it's our annual Mountain getaway for two ! YEP, my three daughters pout every year because they can't go but we didn't make it to 46 years without truly guarding some of our precious time. I wish these younger couples would learn to GUARD some of their precious time.   For today, I will share a few flashbacks from my week.    One of my elementary long time friends gave me some of her beautiful Meyer lemons. This is the 2nd batch that she has shared with me. I have juiced so many and frozen for treats and recipes. I just love all things lemon. I had a batch of apples that needed to be used so made a fresh apple and walnut pound cake. Saved half of it and froze it for our upcoming mountain trip. The other half didn't last long round here with my tribe. Made a big pot of  sausage and potato soup in which my oldest granddaughter loves. ...

{FUN TIMES}

Hoping that you all are staying warm. Us Floridians sure can't handle the cold too good! LOL! I have decided that I must be a Spring and Fall kinda gal! What is your favorite season of the year?    I recently carried the youngest three grands to get their nails done. Oh my! I think I may have started something and may have to go back to work part time! LOL! We had three days together doing whatever they wanted to do and made lots of memories. However, this Nana was in need of some STRONG COFFEE once they went home.  We took a day to process some venison and make some sausage. The Lord blessed us with several harvests this season.  Marty's dad joined in with us. It's hard work but oh so good. The Lord was surely good to me in allowing me to harvest this beautiful buck. I had been sick a few days and had not been able to get out to hunt any. I was somewhat feeling a little sorry for myself to be honest because at that point I had overed the nasty, awful Covid and was ...

"It's A Brand New Year, A Brand New Day and A Brand New Moment"

  I sure hope your New Year has started off good and that you are enjoying life. I wanted to share a few pictures we snapped over the holidays. Of course I wanted to share my WORD for "2024". The Lord surely has speaking to my heart about staying focused on Him and not worrying, fretting and pondering what the future holds because HE is the ONLY ONE that holds my future.  It's always fun to see Santa and know him up close and personal. LOL! (Marty's brother played Santa for all of our children) My girls! Lots of love with our family. A whole lot baking and cooking went on too over the holidays but I had some good little helpers. I had to show you all the beautiful gift that my sister Mary gave to me for Christmas. It meant so very much too me and as always, God's timing was perfect. Nothing like being wrapped in the Word in Word of God.  I will close with my January Focus. This is my 3rd year of doing a monthly focus board and a reminder that no matter what we hav...
