Wild West Wednesdays and Smiles



Welcome Friend to Wild West Wednesdays! Smile...you're on candid camera! Aren't we the lucky ones to have such small cameras that can do so many functions for us???
As I visited Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita, I'm reminded that cameras have their place in History as Wichita worked at having some culture and be a part of how fast things were changing on the old frontier. These large cameras were found in the Photography Studio and in another one of their smaller exhibits.





My pictures here are not the best, but hope you 'get the picture' of how things were. Grins, or should I say, "CHEESE!"
Some of my favorite places in all of Kansas are the front porch swing that once hung on my Parent's old bungalow porch in Marion, my old rock house in the Flinthills, the Kansas Prairie with the gentle rolling hills with wind blowing through my hair and good 'ole Cowtown in Wichita that has no cars moving about on the streets. I could spend hours there. Sometimes do in my memory. What a blissful place to rest.
God loves you and remember that nobody else on this planet has a smile as pleasant as yours!!!
Til next time...gettie up little pony and watch out for the buffalo muffins.

Deanna,

HI!!!!
I am so glad cameras are so small now days!!! I cannot imagine lugging that big thing all over!!!! Look at all the things missed not photographed because of it's size!!!!
So many good things take the place of things that are to big and bulky and I think some things should have remained the same!!!! Such as Old Fashioned Values, Morals, Faith in God, oh I could go on and on, right????
Have a great day
and say CHEESE!!!!!
it just makes you smile!!!!
hugs,
jamie

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
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

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.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
