Wild West Wednesday




Howdy, You All! Wild West Wednesdays has been something I have posted off and on since Fall 2009. Back in October after I got home and the pictures were downloaded that I had quickly snapped while in Wichita's Cowtown, I was surprised that so many pictures were taken. I didn't put a great deal of time into staging the pics...I just snapped away. Easy and fast. Today I want to repost some of pics that I really liked how they turned out.

When returning to Cowtown again in milder temperatures when I can stroll about at a slower pace, I hope to have pics of the Railroad Station, a few more houses, interiors of the stores/shops and then there's the farm that I want to share.

Thanx for coming along. Pretend it's 90 degrees outside and you're sweating...I'm ready to sit in the shade, sip a cool beverage and rest my hat. If only I had a horse.

If you had lived in the 1880s wild west what do you suppose your name would have been? I think my name would have been Jane, Victoria or Anna. Buffalo Betty? Nah.

Til next time, God bless and that's all folks.

Amazing how tiny the homes and schools were, yet families were very much more in number, and seemed to do fine and dandy in them- without separate bedrooms, bathrooms ( bathrooms?!?) a T.V. room, dishwasher.....and I think they just might have been very happy and content with such a home as pictured here!

Today, I honestly think I would enjoy 90 degrees. This has been such a cold winter. This morning it was 4. Biting cold as I crunched through the frozen snow, to water and feed the dogs.

So, I'll gladly pretend it is 90 and sit and sip some lemonade with you, in the shade! Ah spring, I am so ready for it.

Great pictures, have really enjoyed the trips to Cowtown.

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."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

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
