Happy Saturday all

Good Saturday Morning

Even thought the temps  are cold, my morning looks like this

bright and sunny outside with deep blue skies.  Beautiful!

  Even though I have tons of things on my “to do” list here at home….like sort and purge the basement.  Ditto for the garage, and reorganize my bedroom closet and coat closet and kitchen cabinets, and…oh you get the picture….

I  I think I would rather be doing this today.   I haven’t been antiquing since before the holidays and I think I need to enjoy some of this sunshine and get outside, even it is only 30 degrees. 

Hope you have a blessed Saturday!

This is me this morning

 

Need I say more!

UGH!

Plus woke up to this…

One icy deck with ice still coming down.

What a day!

 

Happy Friday!

 

My house looks like this

to day. Tissues everywhere in sight.  I’m feeling a bit under the weather .  Although it is easy to give into this   and   I am going to rely on this.

Roatan, Mexico

  Wow!  Boy did we have fun here….Michael  and I disembarked the ship that morning after a having a big breakfast with the family.  Originally we wanted to rent a moped to see the island but by the time we got to the rentals they were all gone, so we elected to get a driver to take us over the island.  Below you will see some of the beautiful countryside. I love this view of this little church nestled in the hills. 

When we stopped to have lunch that day, this was the view that we had.  To the right (even though you can’t see it) people were lounging around on the cliff and going into the water to snorkel. 

The infinity pool at the the resort.  The was breathtaking.  You can’t see where the pool stops and the ocean starts. 

The beach down from the infinity pool.

 

These pictures don’t do the island justice, it was so pretty there and the water was so blue and clear.  You could see through it.

Beautiful Monday

today.  Wow, the sun is shining and it’s so pretty outside, I really shouldn’t be cooped up in this house today, but the house is quiet and  all my chores are done, and thought I would take this opportunity to get caught up on my blog and blogging.  I can’t  believe I haven’t posted since the beginning of the year….but it has taken me awhile to get settled in after the holidays and such.

As most of you know Michael and I spent the holidays on a cruise, and I promise to share some pictures with you…maybe I will get that done tomorrow…but since getting home, I have had to put all my decorations away.  That is one heck of a job.  Not sure why it takes me so much longer now than it use too, but it was a three day process and then the weekend came and we had to declutter and organize our garage to get the crates back on the shelves.  So glad that is done, and the garage is looking much better now.  You can ALMOST get a car in there again.  Hopefully soon we will be able too. 

Also since getting home we have had some deaths to deal with.  Last week we had three special people to us pass away.  Needless to say it has been a tough week.  Certainly hope we don’t have to go through that again anytime soon.  It is so hard to say goodbye to those we love but even harder for those left behind.  My prayers are with these women because they all lost their husbands.

I have also been trying to put myself on some kind of a schedule and working towards getting myself better organized.  Seems this is always a January chore for me.  Last year I diligently put together my Homemakers Journal,so that I could stay on top of all the things that I want to do. 

Below photo is of me sorting through folders, magazine, calendars, charts, etc.

Getting pages ready to put into my binders

Saving pictures for my ideas folder

Deciding which magazines to keep and grab ideas from

My little binder that can easily be dropped in my handbag to jot down ideas

Now the finished product….

All this to tell you after all that work, guess what?  It is in storage in a box far away from me and I can’t even use it.  UGH!  But I am sure once I can get my little hands on it in the future, I will be so ecstatic. 

I have also been trying to get myself back on track with studying the WORD!

So as you can see I have been busy since getting back home.  I am hoping to get better at my blogging.  I always feel so overwhelmed at the start of a new year.  I always have great plans to do better, but always get sidetracked.  I hope you will hang in there with me, as I have lots of things that I want to do now that I am no longer working.  I’m so excited and feel blessed to have this time to do all those things that I have wanted to do.

Hope you have a blessed day!

Hugs,
Cindy

Happy New Year (a little late and from the cruise ship)

 

  Just wanted to say howdy and hope y0u all had a wonderful New Years Eve/Day!  I will say that I did…spent New Years Eve in Costa Maya Mexico and News Years Day in Cozumel, where the temps were a whopping 95 degrees and believe me I have the sunburn to prove it. 

At this moment I  am sitting here in my cabin on the Royal Caribbean “Voyager of the Seas” cruise line, and thought while I had a few minutes would let you all know that I am still alive, just have so busy since the holidays started.  We dock in Galveston tomorrow (Sunday) and will post this, don’t have access to the at the moment….but will post pictures soon, hopefully in the next few days….Monday will be a day of traveling from Texas, to Nashville to pick up our vehicle and then we have a nice long 12 hour drive home…so it might be middle of the week before I get them up…play to share some of fun in the sun….more to come….
