Dear Ones, I want to stop and take a moment to wish you a early VERY Happy and Blessed Valentine's Day! You all are precious to me. I delight in being Blogging Friends with each and everyone of you. God richly Bless you! I love you!
I have really enjoyed the month of February and seeing it warm up with hearts, chocolates, flowers, cards and well wishes for a Happy Valentine's Day. I feel loved!
Going to slow down on blogging for a few days as I excitedly await for this new Grand Baby that is due just any moment. Probably pick up and blog away next week.
I'm not sure that I'll get sugar cookies made this year or get around to making chocolate covered pretzels. Thankfully the chocolates are already bought and just waiting to be sampled on Sunday.
Today I have been in a hurry doing laundry, paying bills, writing out Valentine Cards to get in the mail today, chasing a toddler about...gotta catch my breath. Because there's a little powder room right off the kitchen I can wash dishes and scrub the double sink as toddler takes a potty break. She wants her privacy as she sits on the toilet! After all she is three years old!!! Ha ha. Her Momma was the same way.
Very soon I hope to post some pictures of this new born grand baby. Appreciate all your prayers for a healthy baby and a safe delivery for my precious daughter-in-law...strength for her and my son. Traveling mercies.
Hope you know that you are very special to me!
Hope you'll enjoy the rest of these Valentine pics on this post.
God richly bless you!
And if you feel really wild at heart...hope you'll visit my wild west wednesday post. Just scroll on down and hang your hat!!!

You're sweet! Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Wow! Went from commenting about the Wild West and did a quantum leap forward to Valentines Day!

Can't wait to "sample" the chocolates, but more importantly, can't wait to hold the new little grandson.

Agree with you on the prayers!

Love you.

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)

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

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
