Happy Home Happenings

April Blessings to you!

This past week seemed to pass by so

quickly. I hope to have some new pics

downloaded or uploaded this week onto a

new thumbdrive so I can keep current on

my pictures for blogging.

On Tuesday morning as I drove around while shopping in a near-by city, I listened to my French Lesson. How's that for multi-tasking!!! After a Tuesday morning of shopping I was so ready for an afternoon nap. It's been such along time since I took one that I had almost forgotten what that felt like.

Thursday evening was a time to relax at a gathering

and enjoy listening to Pete Whitebird sing and

share about his life. His Father abandoned him, Pete's

Mother and baby sister when Pete was about three

years old. Pete's Mom would remarry and Pete said

his new father wasn't too fond of him. Pete's a Native

American Chippewa Indian from Topeka, Kansas who

gave his life to Christ in 1973 while on a hunting trip.

If you like Country Christian Music I don't know how you wouldn't like easy to listen to Singer Pete Whitebird. Eleven number one singles on the National Christian Country Charts.

Sooooo thankful when Friday evening rolled around. It was a relaxing time.

On Saturday, the weather was pleasant.

As requested for a birthday present,

my husband and I babysat Lil Miss

while daughter went to an out of town

Beth Moore Simulcast. A blessing.

She talked about the BREAD OF LIFE.



We traveled to another small town to pick up our order of Angel Food. This ministry gives a portion of what others pay for their monthly order to the homeless. Outside of our order we were allowed additional bread. Beautiful variety of different types of bread. Breadsticks, hamburger buns, wheat bread, pumpernickel bread, donut holes and more. My granddaughter chowed down on pumbernickel bread. It is soooooo good!

I wanted to go to the local thrift shop...but first lunch at McDonalds...afterwards my head turned when I saw a sign for an Estate Sale. I walked away with a homemade quilt that I paid $20 for. Felt good about this. Washed the quilt on delicate cycle in cold water and dried it draped on the back of chairs when I got home. Also time spent in the City Park.

Saturday was slow paced
with time on the computer and PBS television to watch Lark Rise To Candleford.

While visiting my email account, a picture my son sent of his Mother-In-Law holding her Grandson at the Airport brought tears to my eyes. Tatyana flew across the ocean from Belarus and will be spending some time with them in the United States.

I continue to Spring clean and sort through items that need to find different places to reside. I have about two weeks to get this house whipped into shape before company comes.

This week I hope to take down the master bedroom panels for the windows to wash, dry and rehang. The windows will be cleaned and the room freshened up before company comes. The 5 windows in this bedroom have shutters on the windows as well and I will need to wash these clean. I might make the bed up with the quilt I bought.

Finishing out Sunday evening with Russell Stover Sugar Free TOFFEE SQUARES covered with chocolate candy is a nice way to end the day while blogging.

What did you do to make your home a happier place?
I bought a quilt and 6 coffee cups from Italy, did some laundry, babysat and praised God. Talked about healing that is going on and spent time with my hubby while sipping hot coffee with half and half in it. Together we hung a new shower curtain and vinyl liner to brighten the upstairs bathroom. Everyday I plan to do a little something to prepare for our company coming.

May your week be peaceful and full of awe,
