Birthday Month

Presented to me by Daughter and Lil Miss
  As a young child I did not believe I would live a long life...but I have seen 57 years and hope to live a life full of days.  My Birthday month was sweeeeeet.

   Celebrated LIFE by eating cake, dining OUT and     spending time at Bed and Breakfasts during my birthday month of July. 

   I know...i know....cake is delicious and i ate some and some more.  Please don't hate me for being full of cake.

   Lil Miss has started her Academic Career and I MUST eat more Salad, Baked Potatoes and drink more Grapefruit Juice.  Plus exercise.  Exercise. Exercise.

I had fantastic Birthday CelebrationS.  Will share some pics and please keep in mind that I didn't eat all these desserts on the same day.

Spaced it all out.  Each time it was appreciated.

I have given myself permission to lose  57 pounds by my next birthday.  I have one year in which to do this....one year.  So as I have more free time,  I will practice more discipline in my journey to a healthier person.


We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Abilene, Kansas at the VICTORIAN INN.  Opened cards and a few gifts then Dined at the Historic Kirby House. 

Had a lovely time with Hubby.  Would like to do this every day.

Next day we dined at the BROOKVILLE HOTEL and ate Chicken.  FRIED CHICKEN that is.  Fried.

 Home and my Parents came over to presentme with a HOMEMADE Angel Food Cake with Strawberries.

Sounds like alot of food.....i am working at eating smaller portions.  Seriously, I will have a season where I cut way back on the carbs and pray that my body responds by shrinking.


Later in the month, the little singing group I'm a part of, The Seraphina Singers, ate Supper at the Historic Hays House and spent the night at The Cottage House Bed and Breakfast.  We sang and had Girl Talk late into the night.  Next morning we shopped downtown Council Grove.  Lunch was at Trail Days Cafe and Museum.  This is where I was sang HaPpY Birthday and treated to a Birthday Meal and Scratch Chocolate Cake.  Wonderful time with Friends.

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
