Home Happenings

 
SWEET Sister
came to visit and we had a great time.  Had fun!!!
 Spending some time together each August....17 years ago and I'm in a time warp.
 
 

Lil Miss dressed for the occasion of us watching her DANCE RECITAL.  Was fun to see her doing the routine along with the video.  Then she did an encore by dressing up in her play clothing.  A dancing clown to a free style tap dancing
fairy princess.
Just a blur of energy.















While Sis was here,
Lil Miss started school.
 
She's loving school!
 
 
 
 
I officially went into semi-retirement from being a granny nanny and returned to being JUST GRANNY.
I'm figuring out how to do that.
 
 
 
 
Gambino's Cheese Sticks/Pizza does this to us everytime.  Seriously....it does.
It's a tradition
to have cheese.
Can you say, "Cheese"
????????????????
 
 

We went looking for the bargains,
had our hair done, ate hot dogs and tator tots. 
Had our fancified coffees, laughed, had girl talk and shared stories. 
 
 
 
 
 SONIC TIME
does something to your hair.

 
 
 
 
 It is legal to eat M and M's
while watching movies.  They are like vegetables...just as colorful and filling!
Also, if there are peanuts inside....well hey,
now they provide protein.

Movie Time!
We did watch
The Help
and I can't help but think it is a great movie...a CLASSIC.





Louie Giglio's
INDESCRIBABLE
is a decent watch and encourages deep thought.
 
 
also Louie's.....
FRUITCAKE and ICE CREAM



Daughter gave us free tickets so we saw at the Movie Theatre
HOPE SPRINGS

Definitely an adult subject matter movie
and not for the young.


Sis's Hubby,
Hank returned and played Dinosaurs.

 
 
 
Hubby fixed his Award Winning Meatloaf
with Twice Baked Potatoes.
OH Honey....it was delicious. 
You have a winner there if you ask me.
 
 




Lil Miss sat the table all by herself and made us feel very welcomed with BOB THE BUILDER NAPKINS!
 
 
 
Then it was time to say bye.
The time sure went fast.
Sorry to see my Sis go.
 
Special memories.
Making Summer count,
d

So glad you had a fun time with your sis. Those are special memories you made! Sorry that Lil Miss was crying when her Auntie left. Kids are so precious!

Hubby's dinner looked delicious!

Love, Linda

Always a good time to have your sister come and stay. Enjoyed making the Meatloaf and potatoes for Sunday dinner. Hate to brag, but that's a really good meal!

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
