Home Happenings in HOT August




Unwinding this evening as I had my first outting since surgery. Tomorrow is my doctor's appointment with surgeon to see how my incision is healing and I will hear...gulp...the path report. Either way, I will be praying and rejoicing. Still alive and having time to live.







There is distant thunder outside as we eat pizza and watch the movie, Princess and the Frog. Though it's animated, I grub up on the interior shots. I sure like interior decorating...more all the time.





Today, I took a long soaking tub bath. Aaahhhhhhh...was refreshing. Shaved my legs for this! Got dressed and put a little make-up on. I'm having a bad hair day and won't be washing it until the doctor looks at my neck. I haven't the nerve to until then. I'm wearing a black sleeveless tunic with turtle neck collar (to cover my neck trauma), blue jean capris, bronze sandals, a multi-colored beaded necklace (gift from sis) and some of my favorite earrings. Pink Color of Hope L'Oreal Lipstick. A squirt of Red Door Perfume.




We loaded up the car by 10 and journeyed to Manhattan to have lunch. Eat Chinese. We took a drive about town and looked at some of the houses by the golf course. So much road construction it's unnerving in this 100 degree weather.





Had a DQ Dilly bar, a Sonic Root Beer, picked up a prescription and went to Dollar Tree. Traveled home and unloaded the goods. TIRED.
My Sister has come to visit for a few days and she's helping me out with Lil Miss. She showed up wearing a black eye...her first in 57 years. She took a terrible fall on the day of my surgery. It looks painful. We're having fun anyways and will do a little shopping in Topeka after seeing the Surgeon on Thursday.
May we find some fantastic bargains!

Deanna, so glad you are doing better. And also happy that your sis is there to help you out and keep you company. (Sorry about her fall and the black eye though)

Hope the cancer is all gone and ...no more surgeries. I am praying for you dear.

Sounds like you looked cute for your appointment and little outing to Manhattan. A little perfume and lipstick always help to lift our spirits huh? (:>)

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

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
