Home Happenings




Beloved, The week-end is here.
Hurray and God bless us one and ALL!
I have been resting and recovering from surgery and I admit...that I have been taking advantage of having my husband home for the week. I had to.

The next few days I will sleep in and then it will be back to the way things are around here with me baby sitting. My husband and daughter have been preparing meals and doing housework. They have been a huge blessing.

I am still so tired with a stiff neck. Tight due to surgery. I have my voice. I didn't lose it and it doesn't sound like I will be sounding much different. There are concerns about the vocal cords and damaging nerves during surgery.

Each day I gain strength and that adds to being in good spirits.
I am in great hopes of regaining my strength and being able to get a handle on this old house. The walls in the family room stare at me daily and quietly say nothing. This is becoming a joke. By the time this wallpapering project gets done, it may be next summer.
GASP.

This week-end, Hubby will continue working on rebuilding the front porch. Making progress. When this is completed, we will have a party on it and sip some coffee. Like most projects, it has taken longer than anticipated. And that's alright...life got in the way. If we don't plan for life getting in the way, we cause problems. Irritations can set in.

Best to take a deep breathe.

I am forever changed by the prayers and well wishes of so many that prayed on my behalf concerning thyroid cancer. I am humbled and uplifted by this. The importance of praying for others is so vital. A ministry of its own. God bless you and as I sit alone I will lift you up in prayer and ask God to please bless you in ways that He only can bless.

Grateful and touched.

This week-end I hope to tidy the Dining room.
Do some laundry.
Tidy the Utility room.
Locate some more Autumn decorations.

I stopped drinking coffee the first day of summer. Was gung hoo about dieting. Eating more greens and salads. Veggin out and cutting the carbs out.
Then decided to not diet due to approaching surgery.

The first day of Fall will be greeted by a cup of coffee with raspberry creamer!
To tell the truth I haven't missed the coffee. Imagine that.


God bless you.
Home, Family and Friends means more to me than ever.

I think that's a perfect way to say "hello" to fall...coffee with raspberry creamer. I'll have one while on may porch, too, and we can say we had coffee with a friend and had a good chat! So glad you are doing well...God Bless!

So glad that you have family helping out -- of course you need to rest after surgery -- can't get better without it! Take care, go slow and glad you're feeling a bit better each day.

Just read your Thursday post. Thanks be to God!! What terrific news! Fall seems a long way off here where it was 85 degrees today. Maybe our fall weather will arrive in October. ♥♫

Dear Deanna,

So glad that things are looking good for you and do take it easy until you are feeling better. That is neat that you have your family helping you.

Sending hugs and blessings

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,

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom

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
