Home Happenings

Blessings to you this first day of October! 

The oranges, deep reds, yellows, dark greens and browns are coming out at HomeHaven.

It's hard for me to believe that IT ISSSSS October.  The Harvest decorations are coming out of hiding and I want to  decorate a little inside.  Since the front porch of HomeHaven is gone...it probably won't get spruced up for Fall.  Maybe Christmas.  Praying that the porch comes to completion this month.

Hubby hopes to work on her all this week-end.  He has today off from his regular job and will be concentrating on our porch.  I keep praying, "Lord, help him to get this porch done very soon."  When it's a one man team...it takes awhile to complete these projects.  I have to ignore the mess and go about my business as if everything is normal.  Look past the project in motion and busy myself with other things.

My Dining room is in serious need of attention today.  I have been out JuNkIn' and my treasures are all over the table and on the floor.  Mercy sakes.  I have a problem.  Believe it or not...one day very soon I will begin to thin out some of my treasures and allow someone else to have fun with the things.

I got some really neat stuff though!!!

Am moving slow today.  Overdid it yesterday.  Was down in the back last night.  Feeling better today.  I carried a box of old dishes to the car and it about did me in.  I can tell I am no young chicken anymore.  I was so PROUD of my purchase from a Thrift Store.  Will have to post pics when I dig out from under all this neat STUFF.

Hopefully pictures will be downloaded this week-end.  I want to show you these sweet OLD dishes.  Sweet I tell ya.  SWEET.

Yesterday, I was able to go to Dollar General for grooming supplies, Dollar Tree for candles, Aldis for food, 2 Thrift Stores to see if I could find some treasures (and did!), McDonalds for drinks, Harry's for lunch, and Post Office.  By the time I got home, I was tired.  Took a break and unloaded the car.  The weather was so beautiful and I wanted to be able to enjoy the day.

What did I do this week to nurture a healthy marriage so HomeHaven is a sweeter place?  I had lunch with hubby at Harry's.
WE ATE SALADS!!!!  SALADS?  Yes, salads with some of their wonderful bread.  Did sip on some of their fine coffee and had a conversation with one another.  It was early enough in the day before the Lunch Crowd came so we had the restaurant to ourselves.  Like Private Dining.  With me babysitting a grandchild through the week, our couples time has to be planned and deliberately taken.  So for this delicious time together lil miss was at a play date.  AINT THAT SOMETHIN'?

Today I will be sorting through the treasures and putting them somewhere for safe keeping.  
The Dining room Buffet and Table will be decorated for Autumn. 
The Family room and Dining room have to be vacuumed. 
A load of towels are in the washing machine.  
Paperwork.


Will be having my morning coffee in a few minutes.  
I am thankful that I can pace myself.


Have a wonderful week-end!
