HoMe HaPpeNniNgS, Preparing For Company and Eating Steak




What a great week-end I had! May this week be a productive one...I have hopes that we will be ready for our company by Friday. Need to put the finishing touches on the Master Bedroom. It's a long story...but the spare room which became a catch-all room couldn't even be walked through. We have been taking stuff from the spare room to the Master Bedroom because we needed a staging station and this was it!

Slowly this STUFF is being gone through....sorted....refolded, reboxed, restacked, etc. and finding its way back into other places in the garage, attic, basement...about the house. It's a fulltime job and I stand blinking my eyes and taking a deep breath asking where do I go with this stuff???

Anywhooooo....Hallelujah...made great headway this week-end, but have to have the Master Bedroom ready for our coveted guest that will come to visit on Friday!

I took down the bedroom's curtain panels and washed/dried them. They will get rehung Monday after I wipe down and clean the windows. One of the panels came out of the dryer with a funky odor. I thought...I'm trying to freshen up the room not make it stink like old fish!!!

Not sure what went wrong...I have washed it twice and it still smells bad. I will try one more time and if it still has an aweful odor, I will frebreeze it and pray for the best! The other panels smell fresh...I don't get it.

I want to get some new high quality white sheets before Wednesday. I am switching out the red comforter and putting a lighter weight sage green quilt with matching pillows on the bed. Need to find a white bedruffle.

So I'll be shopping hopefully not till I'm dropping Monday. Pray it all goes will.

Tuesday...Doctor's Appointment and cleaning.

Wednesday...I still have the Diningroom floor to sweep and scrub.

Thursday...The Kitchen Fan/Light HAS GOT TO BE cleaned. Got to.

Thursday...Powder Room Scrubbed top to bottom.

Friday...Final touches on the Bedroom.

Have my menu figured out. This is a plus.

STEAK...We want to take Tatyana (our daughter-in-law's mom from Belarus) to eat steak. It's very common to eat pork in Belarus. So we'd like to treat her to some steak. Beef....it's what's for Dinner. Praying that Tatyana has a most Blessed time with her new Grandson, Daughter, Son-In-Law in Saint Louis and with us next week-end. This is the first time she has been to the United States. I will only have a short time to visit with her, hug my Grandbaby and have time with the kids. Please God, Bless this time.
Week-end WRAPPED UP...In a few days...will have pictures of my treasures I came home with over the week-end.

Finally on Friday I got to eat popcorn and watch a MOVIE.


Found my Hair Dresser and have got to make a hair appointment ASAP!!! Going to go with a shorter hair style with bangs for warmer weather!...Gotta get some new glasses this Summer. Whiten my teeth and WORK at losing weight. Uggggggh. Lord help me...it's a lifestyle.



May the Good Lord Bless you and give you peace,

Girlfriend...You've got things down pat! I could only wish to be soooo organized.

Now...I don't know ANYTHING about the Billy Graham movie. Is it at the movies? On TV? Do share. I know I must be missing something.

On another note...

Your note to me from earlier today was sooo precious. It meant more than I can say.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart...xoRebecca

Hi Rebecca.
The Billy Graham movie came out about 2 years ago and was at select theaters. I missed it. My daughter has a NetFlix account and it came to her through the mail.
I want to watch it again.
God bless,

This sounds like my usual routine for company, all except for de-cluttering the bedroom. I usually de-clutter the craft room and laundry room but tackled the pantry too.I am excited for you and your company, you WILL have a wonderful time and so will she.

Pictures please of new glasses and hair-style!

How strange that one panel should stink and the others are fine. Hmm, what dastardly deed was done to that one poor panel? Hope it comes clean in the last wash~

Deanna,

Wow-you have a busy week ahead:). I can sympathize with the spare bedroom dilemma as our spare bedroom (and most of the house) was filled with stuff when we were rennovating the bathroom.I pray that you have a wonderful week and that everything goes well:).

Blessings,

Kim

I'm sure your master bedroom will be lovely for your guest, Deanna.

Ah...that curtain panel that smells funny is such a mystery! So strange. I don't know if it would work or not, but you might try some white vinegar in the rinse for the panel. It might neutralize the odor. Let us know if you find a solution.

You sound very organized and have a busy week ahead.
I hope that you have a lovely week, and that you can enjoy your guests.
Good luck with everything.

Hugs

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.”

King James Version (KJV)

through

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

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
