Been Aching To Show You This!!!

Hi from HomeHaven! Nice to have you visit. Have you seen anyone do this before??? The first time I saw somebody handle a pitcher like this I thought it ODD. We were at a restaurant and the pretty little waitress was handling the water pitcher like this. What I didn't realize was that using the handle this way is WAYYYYY easier on your wrist. No more aching.



Perhaps you don't have weak wrist like I do, but the older I get...I have to pamper my joints a tad bit more. So with using the handle this way it takes alot of pressure off my wrist and they don't get sprained this way. Yes, these days I can sprain a wrist handling a pitcher or carrying a heavy bag of groceries. SHUCKS.


The Lord answered a prayer. I was visiting with Him about gentle rain and shared that I wouldn't mind some without the wind, hail, thunder and lightning. My prayer was answered on Sunday. Gentle rain without all the bells and whistles. Sooooo nice to have it cool down a scorching July.

DANCING IN THE RAIN
Trying to make the best of it...singing and dancing in the rain. Gene Kelly would be proud.




ALL ABOARD
Awhile back we played on a train at Maple Hill's Park...what a neat feature to have for children to play in. It was so windy that day...our hair had a mind of its own.





CHOO CHOO
My Sweetheart loves trains...here's some real ones that he could play on in Herington, Kansas. Pretty neat for an old man.






Sending my love and best wishes to you for a delightful July. It's my Birthday month...lucky me...I WILL EAT SOME CAKE.

God bless,
~Deanna~

Hey Deanna, I just wanted to stop by and say how much I loved the pictures of Ashley and her little Sweet Pea playing and singing in the rain! They were precious.

It also looked like they were having fun at the park that had the train...and even Grandpa was enjoying that!

Have a good birthday this month.

Love, Linda @ Truthful Tidbits

My daughter suffers terrible from rheumatoid arthritis, and this was among the things she was shown to do in therapy. Also...you had RAIN! We are so very dry in the Mid Atlantic region, brown grass, extreme heat this week...I enjoyed looking at your wonderful rain!

Happy Birthday month, dear Deanna.
Many you have a wonderful July.
I love the sweet photos, of your family, the dancing in the rain ones are gorgeous. Glad that you have some rain to cool the air down.
I have never heard about holding a jug that way, but it would make sense because the weight would be distributed more evenly.

Hugs
Carolyn

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.”

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
