HELLO! Dear Ones,
Appreciate the kind comments. Thank you. You're such great Blogging Buddies and I love you.
Still taking a short break from serious BLOGGING.
I got off to a great start and sorted alot of paperwork. Then the storm blew in...
Mother Nature was very unkind to me this past week-end and I was over taken with that dreaded visitor that has worn out her welcome and worn me out.
I thought I was on my way of being rid of her when she invaded. If you catch my drift...period. It's been more like alot of exclamation marks!!! With alot of question marks there holding hands with a few semicolons and quotation marks. Then came the pound signs and periods. The flood gates have been opened and I have been greatly inconvenienced...it really cramps my style and keeps me home bound. When I was a young girl I wondered when My Friend was going to come for the first time...now as an older woman, I wonder when she will leave.
At my age, I am past the majority of averages and I am in prayer and conversation with the Almighty for strength, what to do and riding out this storm that will one day leave me. One day very soon, I pray. I'm throwing a party when Menopause is here. You're all invited.
I will not be ready for my sister coming this week-end, niece and grand niece coming during the week and that will just have to be alright. My strength is not as strong as I need it to be and my hopes of getting the house completely cleaned is on hold. We will live, but my pride is bruised. Perhaps that is what needs to be bruised, so I can relax about being human. My kind husband and sweet daughter are pitching in and this greatly helps. THEY ARE THE BLESSING. I'm beyond tired.
Lord willing as company comes and we are out and about, I will have regained my strength. I probably won't be squeezing in blogging. So hopefully I will see you in a week or so with pictures of the local kick off parade for the County Fair, County Fair pictures and a whole lot of fun whatever. Pictures of my company and Girls Time Out.
UPDATE ON THE HOUSE: Garage is done and soon the roofing will be completed on the house!!! Praise the Lord. PRAISE THE LORD. Oh it is looking good. We are going from a pale worn out whitish with grey speckles to a multi-dark brown shingle. It looks real earthy with the limestone house.
Appreciate all your prayers and well wishes. Know that I pray for you! I am a sold-out to God CHRISTIAN and continually pray through out the day in comforting conversation.
Think of you often and talk to you soon,
~Deanna Fern~

HOME HAVEN LILIES ON THE PRAIRIE
LUKE 12: 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

Oh Deanna, I started through the change at age 47 and was completely through it by my very early 50's. So now I will be 59 a week from today and I have so enjoyed being without that monthly visitor. ((smile))
I hope you will be feeling better soon.
Love you,
Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
Enjoy your respite & visit with sister. TTFN ~Marydon
HI Deanna!!!
I had my last ...... about 1 1/2 years ago and I'm 51 1/2 so yes you are one of the tail enders!!! I must say like you said the last 1 or 2... was horrible, I can tell you some of the most embarrasing stories, cause as you know at the end they are not regular in the least and you go for several months with out her stoping in and you forget all about it and then when you are out and about BOOM!!!! There she blows!!! I had it happen to me 2 Xs, you'd a thought I learned the first time, DO NOT WEAR WHITE out ever!!!!! I had to wrap a blanket around me one time walking into a Harley davidson store of all places to change clothes, we were traveling and she came about while we were driving, the car seat looked like I delivered a baby in it!!!! But walking into that store that way was almost more then I could bare, I remember being in the bathroom crying my eyes out, A-becuase I was so embarresed B- because of the pain I was in and C becuase my husband was a saint through it all and went out cleaned up the car and got me a change of clothes out of my suitcase(thank God for that), so I feel your pain Sister!!!!It does get better, try estroven maximum strength, I started taking some kind of soy supplement way before ....'s ended!!! That has helped alot, no hot flashes hardly at all to speak of, I think my biggest symptom have been the constant flow of easy tears!!!I cry over everything!!!! I finally also had to go on a mild testorteron(spelled wrong) because the libido flew right out the back door~!!!!!!
honey I won't keep babbling, I have baby today so I need to chase her!!!
many hugs to you,
jamie

Deanna, I am so sorry you are going through such a difficult time! God bless you! I will say a prayer for you this evening.
Enjoy your time with your family! And get some rest!
I appreciate you, dear friend.
Andrea
Hi Deanna,
Thanks for coming by, and your lovely comments. I am 52 and ended periods 4 years ago so I feel your pain! Menopause is not a bowl of cherries but it's been nice not to have the monthly friend. Hang in there and look into bio-identical hormones, they are more natural and they do help! Hugs, Cindy
