Home Happenings

Home Happenings here we come! Here's a cold drink to sip on while we visit!!! Somebody got a new camera...and she's taking some great shots. This young Lady is my daughter and she has faithfully saved her money to buy a super camera. Sam's was glad to see her shopping.




Thrift Bargains found me buying some flute glasses for little of nothing already boxed for storage til our kitchen is completed. TARGET has this brand at a higher price...nice to know if I want some more where to turn.





My Dear Friend Mary is relocating from Manhattan, Kansas to Colorado to live with her daughter. She's 95 and walks a mile everyday. Recently Susie had a GOING AWAY PARTY in her home with a group of Ladies so we could say a good-bye. I will miss her and know I am blessed for having a Christan friend like Mary.









Beautiful flowers for Mary from Gloria's Garden.






A rare moment...seldom does she fall asleep on the sofa.





Dollar Tree had these oversized bowls for a dollar each. They match my everyday dishes and had been wanting some. Fantastic purchase and hope to get more in the future. I was delighted to buy 6 of them. So far we have used them for spaghetti, salad, chicken and noodles. They're wonderful! They will receive a HomeHaven HURRaY!!!!!





$3 bedspread was picked up at one of those great sales I went to. Turquoise pretty.




STORMY WEATHER in the Kansas Skies is pretty from afar.




Hello there! ARE YOU STILL WITH ME? Think I'll play catch up with this post. No rhyme or reason to this one. Continuing with a product reveiw. I tried febreze MOROCCAN BAZAAR spray and scented candle and in my books...these get a HomeHaven FULL HOUSE rating!!! Enjoyed these products and will willingly use them again. 1-5 with 5 being the best possible...febreze...you get 5 HOUSES.





When I think of the month of June...I think of cooler weather, beautiful Spring evenings, flowers, family birthdays, Weddings, School Graduations, Father's Day, vacations, sitting outside and watching the Fireflys twinkle, picnics and Spring showers.




Yesterday as I raised the familyroom window, I noticed that some of my purple mums were bloomed out. The orange Day Lilies are starting to open up.

In reality, the heat has been more like July than June and not so cool. There have been beautiful flowers and just a handful of beautiful Spring evenings. As I sat up late last night a frog was crawling on the window and I could see his under belly. Seeing a little frog move about so fast was interesting. The Fireflys twinkle in the dark...love this. I think we've waited too long for a picnic...too hot...next fall. Perhaps I'll perfect my fried chicken before then.


Praise the Lord! It's Friday and I am looking forward to the week-end. Yes, I am. The air conditioner was turned on this afternoon. We are still using fans in the other rooms. The temps today are in the 90s and this is where the air has to for sure come on.

I had an early morning Doctor's Appointment in Manhattan. Received a referral and am scheduled for August 18th biopsies on the thyroid nodules. Depending on the Doctor's opinion after he sees the scan reports, etc. will determine if I get an earlier date. While I wait...I'll be praying and start walking more on the tread mill. Great STRESS reliever!


Afterwards, Lil Miss and I went to Hobby Lobby then Lunch with my Sweetheart and Daughter. Drove on home...the tireds came on and the heat index is suppose to be like it were a hundred.

Lil Miss fell asleep in the car...she continued to sleep once home and so did I in front of an air conditoner. It was comfortable.


This week-end I hope to get caught up on what ever needs caught up on. This should be a busy week-end. I'd like to bake a cake for my hubby in honor of Father's Day.
Ever felt like this?



Grand children make me smile.
Love ya. Have a wonderful week-end!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY MY FRIEND,
I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU BUT I BELIEVE WAITING UNTIL AUGUST 18TH IS ENTIRELY TOOOO LONG TO WAIT AND DO BIOPSIES. THE THYROID IS TOO CLOSE TO YOUR THROAT.
I WILL BE FERVENTLY PRAYING FOR THIS SITUATION. GOD IS OUR TRUE PHYSICIAN AND HE KNOWS ALL THINGS BUT I WOULD FEEL BETTER IF YOU JUST ASK THE DR. WHY WAIT SO LONG TO DO THIS PROCEDURE.......
I THINK IF A DR. TELLS US WE NEED A BIOPSY THEN THEY NEED TO DO IT YESTERDAY!!!
DID YOU KNOW WE JUST MOVED OUR SON AND DIL TO LAWRENCE, KANSAS. THEY WILL BE THERE A YEAR. VERY QUAINT, ARTSY TOWN. I LIKE WHAT WE SAW.
I AM SORRY YOUR 95 YEAR OLD MARY IS MOVING AWAY. WHAT A FRIEND...YOU TWO SHARE A THREE STRAND CORD.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY WEEKEND.
PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED ABOUT YOUR THYROID AND I WILL PUT YOU ON EVERY PRAYER LIST I KNOW OF.
LOVE, HUGS, AND BLESSINGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE

The camera your daughter bought looks exciting and what fun taking beautiful photos.
Mary, must be amazing at 95 and still so energetic and sorry she is going to be moving away.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Deanna, and I hope that you will get to see the specialist soon.

Happy weekend

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)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
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
