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...
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. So, decided to do a little gift-care package for her lunch while she was working. She was one happy young woman.
My youngest daughter and her husband made a short trip to Athens, Ga, home of our beloved Georgia Bulldogs and yes indeed she brought back her mama a prize! I also love all things GA DAWGS!
Decided to set my table since Christmas was over. Went simple and clean as the EXPERTS call it. I call it "Just making my table cute as a button".
Yes, my gathering spot is surely in my kitchen and dining room.
When all the scores came in our girl was the newest record holder at the high school. She also scored 2nd place in her weight division at her latest meet. We are so very proud of her.
I hope that you all have a wonderful week and get ready to kick off February with lots of love for others.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
