Pinnacle Mountain

After we got back from NW Arkansas on Sunday, Macy came home for a little while and I climbed Pinnacle with her and her friend, Kelsie.  Kelsie had never climbed before. I always love climbing Pinnacle with people who have never seen it before and getting to see them see the view for the first time. It's so so pretty!
We got up to the rocky part in 12 minutes! :) I've never gotten up there that fast because I'm always with people who need to take breaks.  This time, though, I was with Kelsie, who is a runner, so she went up it with me with no breaks.  Macy kept right up, too.  It only took us 21 minutes to get to the top, which is really good for me.  I have to say, though, that I was sore for 5 whole days!! I realized that walking/jogging does not use the same muscles that climbing a mountain uses.  I'm going to try to climb Pinnacle once a week just to get those muscles in shape.  I was SO sore all week!
Pinnacle was probably the most beautiful I've ever seen it.  There were sun rays coming through the clouds and the sky was pink and blue. I wish pictures could do it justice.

Macy and Kelsie on the way back down.
Rosy, Ban, Hann, and Justin were all at the bottom waiting for us.  Look at this sweetie pie!
May May and Ban. It was actually chilly outside! Such a nice relief after the summer heat!
Right before this picture, I was sitting over by Macy and Banner.  Rosy said, "Hadoo, there's a place for you right over here by me" and she patted her hand next to her for me to come sit there. :) Of course, I moved immediately! :)

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

Nashville Trip

Once again, it has been SO long since I have done a blog post. I think with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media, I get overwhelmed. I haven't posted a Facebook album in so long, though, so I really wanted to start blogging again to be able to remember! This might be my last post for 2 years again, though! LOL! We will see. We took a business trip last weekend to Nashville (first time to ever go to Nashville) and it was so fun because on this business trip, Macy and Kevin got to come with us! I haven't written on here yet about it, but Kevin is now working for the same company Lamar works for and we are just THRILLED about it!!!  Our weekend trip actually started on a Thursday. The morning started with my first visit to the ER ever but more about that in another post. I was okay and am so so thankful for my precious dad who took me there and we got to bypass the waiting room. I have continued to be blessed by my Dad and his love for the Lord and oth...
