Home Happenings

How ya doin'?
A load of white shirts and blouses are in the washing machine as I sip my morning coffee and surf the net.  Wow...that's multi-tasking!!!




Lil Miss has had her breakfast, is playing on the floor with her iddy biddy Princesses, carrying on a conversation with her toys and listening to a musical animation on the television.

There are moments that we sit and listen to the quiet.  This is refreshing.  Hush......wait a minute....be right back....gotta go put the whites in the dryer and put a load of casual multi-colored shirts into my ROBOT...TROMM LG.   I am so thankful to have a washer and dryer at HOME to use.  Still I have trouble staying on top of the laundry.  It's rare these days for me to have ALL THE LOADS caught up.  Like this feeling when I have mastered a task!

Yesterday was a very full day as I was out and about from 10 in the morning till 6 in the evening.  Did a lot of walking.  Had my exercise and I did take deep breathes.  By the time I sat in my overstuffed chair my legs were tired.  Precious Daughter fixed a casserole SUPPER and it was sooooo good.  As I wobbled into the house...the aroma was in the air.  Better than a fragrant candle burning.

Earlier in the day as I was driving down a street I noticed that THE NEW MEGA MENARDS was OPEN!  Went and toured the store and kept saying to Lil Miss that Grandpa was going to LOVE this store.  It was awesome to see all the wood.  WOOD instead of styrofoam crown molding.  Dreaming of the rooms at HOME HAVEN that will have Crown Molding going up in the next two years.




I wasn't familiar with Menards from Wisconsin....but she's NOW here in Kansas well stocked and clean as a whistle.  I must have been asked 25 times or more if I was finding everything alright and a friendly HELLO HELLO HELLO!  MEGA is a reality.

After Hubby got off work, I met back up with him at Menards.  The things I really really liked were the wood moldings, a Amish Quality Playhouse, and a Patio Display.  Found a paint sample.  Seriously thinking about using this color in Home Haven's Family room called SWEETCORN.  It's a creamy soft yellow.   Saw some walls this past week-end that had a similar color...Really liked it.

Not sure I'll get it done today or not but hoping to tidy the Kitchen FOOD rack.  About every 4 months I have to rearrange this rack.  For some reason it doesn't stay tidy...must be that it has a personality all it's own and likes messy.

Spring Cleaning continues.  In hopes of sweeping the Utility room floor and scrubbing her CLEAN today.  Lord, Please help me get this completed....i am tired.




If I say it enough times it might just really happen....I will be victorious in getting my house cleaned.
I will be victorious in getting my house cleaned.
I will be victorious in getting my house cleaned.

Amen and amen.

Granny was right in telling lil' Miss that Grandpa was going to love that store. Grandpa loves that store. It was awesome, I could spend a whole day in there and not see everything I wanted to look at.

Thanks for planing that little afterwork excursion!

I have not been to Menards yet. It is on the west side of Wichita and I don't get there often. But they are going to put one on the north east side of town too, so I may get to that one.

I am glad you are getting to so many projects in your lovely older home. It must be very satisfying to see it all coming together.

Your laundry set is really cool! I like it.

That was nice of Ashley to fix dinner for you all after your busy day yesterday. She's a sweetie. But then...she must take after her sweet mom!

Happy Wednesday!

What a fun post! I felt like we were chatting over a cup of tea:)!
I am rearranging several closets so the house is a bit disheveled at present. Good luck with your spring cleaning!

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
