Happy May!

Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all!   We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen.  Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to  Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun.  The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of

{Where Has The Month Gone?}

 Oh my! February is about to bring us into March! I just realized that this is Leap year. However, the older  I get the more TIME seems to leap! Anyone else feel that way? 

We have celebrated my birthday month as us Conner women believe in celebrating all month and have taken a few days away to enjoy the beautiful North Ga Mountains, our favorite place to go. I'll share a few pictures of our February days. 


Birthday outing for some sushi for my birthday was on my list of things to do. 


The weather was wonderful for our mountain trip. It was cold in the mornings and after the sun went down but so beautiful during the day. Here's a few pictures of the cabin. 




It was lovely and we always enjoy being on "Mountain time".


We enjoyed several outings each day and I found a Christmas store called "Always Christmas". Well needless to say for someone that loves ALL THINGS CHRISTMAS a few ornaments came back home with me! 


Mountains and Christmas go together to me! LOL!


We also celebrated my Fatherinlove's 89th birthday this month. He is the sweetheart of our family and so very loved by many. 


And isn't this the cutest biscuit? Hardees was making heart shaped biscuits for Valentines. 


I got a new tee shirt and love it! Some of my favorite songs.


I took some time one day to make my grandpups some healthy treats! I do not have animals but our children did growing up. Now my grandchildren enjoy their fury friends. So Nana decided to make all five some treats, Annie, Molly, Bo, Roxy, and Maggie. We always have more girls in our family than boys. LOL!

I will close with once again asking my friends to say a little prayer for me. I am still struggling with showing pockets of pneumonia and have been since September. I've been on so much medication and I will do better for a while and then bam! I am now under a new specialist as the one I saw in December was not a good fit for me. We do have a plan of action but of course that comes with the process of elimination as well as trying different things and LOTS of tests. I am giving thanks to my Lord for every day as it is truly a gift my friends. We take so much for granite but I am thankful that I serve the GREAT Physician. 

Till next time, may the Lord bring you blessings of good days, good health and sweet moments of life to enjoy. 
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Hi Cindy, love that birthday t-shirt that matches your shoes. That cabin is amazing! I will be praying for you and your health issues. It seems that with age, time goes by way to fast, and the body decides to slow us down and not heal as fast. But at least our spirit is strong in the faith and our Lord will be our strength to get through things. Take care of yourself!♥

    Oh, Cindy, I am so sorry you are still battling this pneumonia thing, but glad that you have been able to still get out and enjoy your birthday month...especially in the mountains! Love the cabin and the pictures from that beautiful place that we love so much too! Love your t-shirt! 65? Wow! Congratulations...but you are still a "baby" to me! LOL. I have a few years on you, but can say that the 'best is yet to come". With Jesus, every year just gets better and better. Praying you will start feeling so much better. It's always good to hear from you. God bless you dear friend.

    I left a comment yesterday but I must not have pressed Publish. Any way. Here I am again.
    I'm glad you had a lovely birthday month. The cabin in the mountains looks so cozy.
    I do hope you get completely over the pneumonia and that the new specialist will be a better "fit".

    Those mountain cabins are always so homey, comfortable, and beautiful. I enjoy the pictures you post from your trips (actually, I enjoy all your snapshots from anywhere!!!). The graphic about being confident in God's plan is so good. Thanks for sharing that. And yes, I have been keeping you in my prayers regarding your health. I want you to be strong and healthy!!!

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

{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
