The Child at Table |
 “In eating soup the child must dip his spoon away from him—turning the outer rim of the spoon down as he does so....”  “In being taught to use knife and fork together, the child should at first cut only something very easy, such as a slice of chicken....”  “Having cut off a mouthful, he thrusts the fork through it, with prongs pointed downward and conveys it to his mouth with his left hand. He must learn to cut off and eat one mouthful at a time.”  “When no knife is being used, the fork is held in the right hand, whether used ‘prongs down’ to impale the meat or ‘prongs up’ to lift vegetables”  “Bread should always be broken into small pieces with the fingers before being buttered.”  “When he has finished eating the child should lay his knife and fork close together, side by side, with handles toward the right side of his plate.” |

HOME HAVEN LILIES ON THE PRAIRIE
LUKE 12: 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

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
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.

Oh Deanna!!! How wonderful! I was just talking to my husband today about the fact that it seems people are not teaching their children these kinds of things anymore. It makes us less civilized I think and without respect for each other. Oh well, if I could back in time:-) Thank you for your wonderful visits. I always love hearing from you:-)
