{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

{Pumpkin Spice and All Things Nice}

  Happy Sunday afternoon everyone. I hope that you all have had a wonderful week and weekend. We sure have and a busy one with family. But, it's the life that I love. I have been wanting to decorate a little for Fall but it's been so hard with the temps being so high. And, even when the temps drop a little the humidity is horrible. Praise the LORD for AC! I am READY for a little Fall so finally got my dining table decorated at least. I wanted simple for my table and I wanted to incorporate my little truck. Y'all know I love me some little trucks.  I found these cuties at Hobby Lobby and loved them. Of course that 40% off surely made it an easy decision to purchase them.  It's just not FALL to me without  some "orange" but I wanted  a little something different this year and I wanted to incorporate some orange. I already had the black and white chargers, black flatware, white plates and well, almost everything else to be honest. So grabbed a black and white cut

{Celebrating birthdays and Eating Cake}

  I shared with you last week that I was making cakes and freezing them for upcoming birthdays so today we reaped the harvest of two birthdays being celebrated. My soninlove David celebrated his 40th and my oldest granddaughter Raygen celebrated her 17th.  (David and his beautiful family) Of course I let my granddaughter pick her birthday meal and it was fried chicken, green beans, corn, macaroni and cheese, rolls, and deviled eggs.  We had quite a good Sunday lunch. But, we usually do because I cook most every Sunday for my family. LOL!  I went by to visit her at work as she works PT at their gym and I carried her balloons to help make her day extra special.  Her birthday cake was a hit. I tried a new recipe as she requested a homemade vanilla cake and homemade chocolate icing. So, she got a 4 layer vanilla cake with all the trimmings. The cake was more the consistency a pound cake but it was hit.  A little homemade chocolate sauce with Reese Peanut cups and chocolate icing added the

{Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Icing, Hot Fudge Sauce and You Tell Me}

We celebrated my youngest daughter's birthday with a homemade chocolate cake,  chocolate icing and of course some vanilla ice cream with hot fudge sauce and all the trimmings.   She had a wonderful birthday celebration at the beach with her little family and then a family celebration with extended family. In case you haven't noticed, it doesn't take much for us to throw down a party of some kind and celebrate. LOL! But, there is nothing any better than celebrating special occasions with those you love the most. I am going to attach the links at the bottom of the post for cake, icing and hot fudge sauce should anyone be interested.     NOW...I want you to tell me because curious minds want to know.   Do you find it hard or easy to control your facial expressions?   web image   I was asked this question recently...Did I find it hard to hide my facial expressions and my answer is YES! My facial expressions will give me away EVERY time and especially the one that pretty much sa
