Home Happenings

Home Happenings this past week was eventful. Over the week-end, Valentines and candy were bought for loved ones. I just have to get the out of towners boxes in the mail on Tuesday so they arrive just before Valentine's Day.




Waiting on a Grandbaby to arrive any day now! Waiting for that special phone call. Appreciate your prayers.



Last Tuesday, I visited with a dear friend and had coffee in her home which is also a Bed and Breakfast. She, her husband and the Scenic Valley Inn Bed and Breakfast were featured in the local Manhattan, Kansas Winter 2010 Magazine. Diana has a vivacious personality and I know you'd love her. If interested in staying at their beautiful Bed and Breakfast, more information can be found on their web site. Here's just a few pics to share. Very nice place and friendly Hostess.



Wednesday, my younger brother had a Hernia Operation. Doing well. Thursday, my Mom had a procedure to see if there is a blockage in the kidney. She doesn't have a blockage, but still struggling with too high of Blood Pressure. Perhaps her new meds will work. Pray so.

My sweet hubby continues working on the bedroom ceiling and while we await the finished product, I imagine what it will look like in my mind's eye. Admiring a beautiful finished ceiling with a medallion on it above a new light fixture ( maybe a chandelier?)
while lying on the bed will be a blessing.

Hopefully by Spring this project will be completed and the walls will be freshly painted, crown molding installed and new balloon shades hanging in the windows.



It's a mess right now. Life continues.





My knee has given me some fits this week. Bursitis of the knee...me thinks and advil has helped. I'm feeling my age this week and not very happy about it.




I just think this cake is as cute as it can be.



This is not fun to mention this next part...If you know our story you know that my daughter went through a divorce about two years ago and came home with her 9 month old daughter to live with my husband and me.
This morning my daughter took time off from work to go to court concerning some motions her ex-husband made about lowering his child support payments and visitation. He was a NO SHOW. His attorney informed the court that he had no money for gas!
( Hey...eat some beans...that'll give you GAS for free )
AND THE JUDGE EXCUSED the ex-husband when it was him that made the motions in the first place. A March hearing will come and my friends...I would seriously appreciate your prayers concerning the judge and this ex-son-in-law. This isn't the first time he has been a NO SHOW and has been given leniency. A NO SHOW and EXCUSED??????????
I would be interested in hearing from you if you have gone through similiar things.
Think I'll go eat some beans!!!

Can't wait to hear about the new grandbaby.

Hilarious about the beans...Hope the ex son-in-law gets his life straightened out so he will be the daddy he is supposed to be. Sorry.

Have a good rest of your evening minus the painful knee.

Marmie,

Give me some beans to eat. I could help a space ship make it to the moon and back. And you know it!

Love you.

Oh my, the judge showed leniency to a "no-show" ? Since when is this O.K.? God is good in that your daughter has your grandchild.....( grandparents' perspective) Boy, the ex-husbands' defense would not do well for him at all in CA or WA. He'd have the book thrown at him and my nephew's experience was that the judge almost doubled child support and told the nephew to get another job to pay for it.


Another grandchild soon and so many dear relatives with health problems,God is good and He does help us through all these things but your plate is certainly full Deanna.I will be praying for you and yours.

coachstretch said...

and what does simple beauty's lawyer say about all this? Has he done everything he can to fight for her and butterfly's protection and freedom?

He continues to send her a bill to pay for his services, but there has been no change in this case. I want to see justice just as much as you all...Not only has my dear sister paid for his credit card debts, but she is paying a lawyer to play in the ex's little game....I think that as gracious as the ex is to pick up the tab during dinner for drinks, should have to pick up the tab for all the court hearings.

Sorry, just venting and rambling. God will be victorious!!!! He is still on the throne!

Deanna -- wanted to let you know I got my sweet treats today -- you're such a dear!

I hope your ex SIL will have some experience that will find him in better finances to support his daughter and he will have the opportunity to put her first....from his own heart...not a court order. It's so unfair that the innocents suffer the most.


Good luck with your projects and the newest little love in your life!

Hi Deanna,

Lovely to hear that you are going to have a new grandbaby.

Sorry for all you are going through on the home front with health problems. I hope that your Daughter will get the support she needs and the Judge will be able to help with this. My prayers are with you all.

Hugs
Carolyn

Your friend's B&B looks like a wonderful, restful place. Enjoyed the tour. What in the world is that judge thinking? I'll definitely pray about the situation and for your new grandbaby too. Hope your knee is feeling better. Is it insanely cold there? What in the world is going on? This is the coldest winter I've experienced in NW Arkansas!

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

through

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
