Warm and Bright Greetings to you!
Hope your week has gone well and the week-end relaxing so you are refreshed and ready to go.
Beloved,
Remember Haddie? Well I received word from her and she's detained in Boston. She's oh so ready to spend her winter with me in Home Haven. Not sure when she will be knockin' on my front door. I washed the bedding and aired out her room, so when she does arrive she can settle into a comfortable place to rest her weary body!
Not that she's given to rumors, but she heard a whopper. She said the color turquoise is going to be a hit this coming year. It will be all the rage!!! Hum. Oh, what ever shall we do? Turquoise is a pleasant color and I like it alot. I understand that chocolate brown with turquoise were likeable Victorian colors. Perhaps I'll decorate a room in this color theme or just buy a big 'ole turquoise ring to prance around in.
The month of January is just about half over (can you believe it!) and I make a vow that before Frosty February arrives...I will have watched The Bollywood video that is going to teach me how to Belly Dance. And you only thought I was kidding. If this Big Momma can do this, then I will have something new to shout about or maybe give me a great reason to soak in the tub 'cause my back is killin' me. At any rate, I'm making it a goal.
Have you noticed that there are times in our lives that what's coming at us is abit too heavy? We are better off if we keep our sense of humor and do somethings that put a smile on our face and a bounce in our walk.
I'm at one of those places in life where I need to be taking good vitamins and praying ALOT. Rejoice, rejoice...God cares. God is good and worthy to be PRAISED.
Speaking French is foreign to me, but I hope to practice speaking the French language. By year's end I surely will say "Wee wee!" better than ever. I'll be taking it slow.
I have enjoyed a variety of music the majority of my life and played piano by ear. So we shall see how it goes as I sit at the piano and listen to instructions on how to make the music flow.
Entertaining Haddie, Belly Dancing in the privacy of my Home, Speaking French and playing the Piano will be an interesting combination.
And to make sure I have some class...I otta wear these delicate pink slip ons. What do you think?
Well, that otta be enough Home Happenings for now.
God Bless,
~Deanna~
PS With the events of our present world and everyday issues...we truly have much that we can be praying about as we roll up our sleeves and give a part of ourselves to others.

We're certainly at a cross roads in our lives around here, not sure which way to go, with more tests added to Mr. P's agenda we're in suspended air around here. So.. to get the nerves in check, I'm cleaning and I mean "large"".... break time is over.. back to work for me.. thank you for this..

Dd,
This was uplifting! Thanks for the chuckles. Seeing the Eiffle (Eye Full) tower made me think of when we were in Paris those three days in May.
It was like being in a dream. I learned a very important lesson at the McDonald done the street from the Hotel. Never ask for French Fries in France! They ended up having me point my order out on their menu board, and after that bit of humiliation, they told me in English the word for Fried Potatoes in French is "fritas".
I got over it. The other interesting thing about that meal is the hamburgers were on star shaped buns. ? Still don't know why.
As for the heavy things coming at us, we certainly need to pray and keep a sense of humor as this too will pass.
Enjoyed the post!
Love you.
Wouldn't you know it...I am ahead of the color game. I painted my guest room turquoise last summer. It's really pretty...
I truly enjoyed your post. Your words and thoughts are quite uplifting. Learning French...sounds like a good plan. It will definitely keep your mind occupied. (I like Rosetta Stone...at least for Spanish. It's easy to do!)
Smiles,
Jane
Pray continually, right?
Let's combine your list. You can bellydance with the pink fuzzys on while you sing a beautiful song tht you have just learned in the romantic French language. Oh, yeah, and Hattie can critique while wearing a beautiful new turquoise sweater. And through it all, talk with your heavenly Daddy. You know I believe He laughs with us.
Ok, not really sure where that weird thing came from that I just wrote, it just seemed fun. My mind is not yet fully going this morning.
BTW...thanks for stopping by and commenting on my little one, Faith. I am so proud of her for giving her hair to help someone in need. I think she is gearing up to do it again.
I really enjoyed your post. It brightened my day!
I discovered your blog a while back and have been a regular visitor. It's so cool!
I love your stone house. It has such character and charm. The home has a welcoming appeal with its green trim, which echoes the lovely hues of nature in springtime.
Probably covered in white now, but I'm sure the house is handsome in winter as well.
Thanks for your uplifting posts each day. Hugs,
Joyce
