Home Happenings


Weather has been chilly and am waiting for it to warm up 
some before it really gets cold. 
INDIAN SUMMER WHERE ARE YOU?  SWEATER WEATHER.



Sunflowers in the wild.
VERY EARTHY.





Went out of town.  
TURQUOISE colored jewelry TO WEAR.




Went through a Kansas City Neighborhood.  
AN AMERICAN DREAM.









Back to basics.  
Need some comfortable new shoes.

Went looking for some Autumn Shoes.
No LUCK.  
Tried again the next day.
Found a pair of slip on leather mules.
Earth-Spirit Women's Leather Mules.

When did clogs get the name MULES?
Makes a Lady wonder if she should really put mules on her feet when she's been accused 
of being stubborn as a 
OLE MULE.  

Know what I mean? 



Somebody took to dancing.
Ballerina in PINK.




Off to a Baby Shower.
CELEBRATING LIFE.




FRIENDS since they were in the 5th Grade.
We moved around so much that when Daughter befriended these young Ladies is was wonderful.
 They've remained friends since childhood.  INDEED A BLESSING.


Saw more beautiful SUNFLOWERS.
STUNNING.





Spent some time in the COUNTRY.
FRESH AIR.  LOVED THIS.





Stopped off to see my FOLKS.
They seemed to be DOING PRETTY WELL.
Dad is recovering from GALL BLADDER SURGERY.








Watched CONSPIRACY THEORY and WIZARD OF OZ 
over the week-end in the privacy of our HOME.  
Have seen both of these before, but hubby pulled them from our stash that's in a box and we had ENTERTAINMENT!









Autumn CLEANING continues.




AND Hubby worked on building Family Room Bookshelves.  
RIGHT IN THE FAMILY ROOM.  EXCITED!








Starting Autumn Decorating with WREATHS 
on the Front Doors and Porch Light.
ONE DAY SOON....THE PORCH LIGHT WILL BE REPLACED.
AUTUMN IS HERE.





I like to start SEASONAL DECORATING with 
the changing of WREATHS.
PRAISE THE LORD.

I am so ready for a long Indian Summer. I hope we are fortunate enough to have one. The radical drop from the mid 100's to the mid 50's is a bit much. I'd like some in between temps for a while.

Fun to see the pic of the 3 musketeers together again!

Can't wait to have the family room shelving completed!
Will be a boost our spirits to have this room done.

Your door wreath is pretty. Isn't it fun to do the fall decorating?

The sunflowers are cheerful looking...but they trigger my allergies and that doesn't make me too "cheerful". ha!

Little Miss has turned into a darling ballerina! What a cutie. I am sure you have so much fun with her.

Glad you got to see your folks...and so glad your dad is recovering nicely.

The turquoise jewelry is so pretty...I love it. And Ashley always looks so pretty. She is stylish! (Like her mom.)

Thanks for reading my poem today. God whispered it to my heart this morning. (:>)

Love, Linda

Far more than I could ever comment on here but 2 things stand out. First hope your Dad recovers quickly and completely and second it sure is a blessing to be able to continue with childhood friends. Most unusual unless one lives in the same place always.

No Indian Summer here - we've finally had a break in the triple digit heat and a tiny bit of rain - your trip and pictures portray a very pleasant time - glad your parents are doing well!

Remember to take time for yourself; as to Indian Summer...soon, really soon.

Hi Deanna,

I enjoyed seeing what you are up to in your busy life.
Glad that you were able to visit your Parents and do hope your Father makes a speedy recovery.
Also neat that your daughter was able to catch up with her friends.
Little Miss, looks so adorable in her pink ballerina outfit.
Hope that you are enjoying your week

Hugs

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.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
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
