{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...

{Goodbye February! You've Been Good To Me}

I just love the many different wax melt cubes you can find these days for your electric wax melt warmer. My Sister gifted me with this cute thing with so many different flavors of wax melt for my birthday. I love the smells but oh do I ENJOY the little things of life. Some friends and I had a birthday outing for me with shopping, lunch and a stop by a new cute bakery that just opened up a few weeks ago. My mercy everything looked so good. These two ladies and I have been friends since elementary school. We try to get together once a month but since it was birthday month I got to pick where we went for the day.  I brought home one of their cookie bars and had it the next day with coffee. So good.  Of course we spotted a Thrift store along the birthday journey and I had to have some fun. I thought these boots would have been perfect for me. WELL...I couldn't figure out how to put a 5 foot woman into a pair of boots that must have been made for one tall gal! LOL! The fun us ...

{Happy Birthday To Me}

I hope that you all are enjoying this nice Sunday afternoon. I just finished prepping for tomorrows evening meal and prepping for a lunch for a friend so decided to give myself a break and show you some fun pictures from my birthday. YEP, praise the Lord I celebrated another birthday yesterday. Just seems like I celebrated one not too long ago!  Marty asked me what would I like to do for my special day and since my three daughters carried me to a movie and out to eat last weekend I decided to let's do a day trip to Fernandina Beach, Florida. We ate at this great place overlooking the harbor and we got there just before it became crowded. The temps was rather cool for us Floridians and there was some wind but we sat in the enclosed patio and it was so nice. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. It's hard to find good food and good service these days but we sure did find it there.  We walked around downtown and the pirates sang happy birthday to me! We done a li...

{Mountain Trip}

  We surely give our Lord the praise for allowing us to take some time to enjoy the mountains before Marty returns to work. He is doing good and a little mountain air was just what the doctor ordered.  It had snowed a few days earlier prior to our arrival so on the first day we arrived the mountain side was covered with white beauty that already had started melting. I still can't believe I didn't snap a picture of it! Guess this Floridian was just glad to see that white stuff for a change! The weather was perfect.  The cabin was lovely. We have stayed in this cabin before and loved it. We enjoyed a lot of afternoon and late evening fires.   We enjoyed walking some outside the cabin and Marty likes to hike. However, that was limited for now but we did managed to get in some walking. I even managed to get in a little yoga one morning! Marty said, "You are on vacation now"! LOL!  We went to several nearby towns for day trips and enjoyed eating out and a little shop...

{A Mountain Birthday Celebration}

Good Sunday afternoon! Well, it seems I am only posting about every two weeks. Not sure if I am just that busy doing other things or if it's just the season I am in y'all. However, I made it today.  The birthday boy just celebrated his special day on October 10th. We spent a week in the mountains. Between Charlotte, SC and North Carolina we saw all the beautiful leaves changing colors. Pictures do not remotely express the beauty that God has created.  We arrived about the time they called it "Leaf peeping season ". I can only imagine the beauty there is to see there now.  We stayed in the cutest cabin and had all that we needed and then some. We didn't really want to leave there to go anywhere else honestly.  The weather was lovely. Cool enough in the mornings for a cozy fire and never too hot to break a sweat! YES! We just love cabin style and when the outside is just as interesting as the inside then it's a win-win. The days of olden sat right there on the p...
