Home Happenings





Pleasant day with my Husband on Monday.  A medical appointment in Topeka had him home in the morning.  We started the day out by SERIOUS TALKING. There is a lot going on in the Family.  Serious Talking is a type of THERAPY around here. Much needed.  We sipped hot coffee and TALKED.  Much on my heart and difficult to process.  

Before going to Topeka, we did some Homemaking Chores.  All these years I have single handedly flipped our mattress.  Hubby helped me this time.  I need help doing this task these days.  My wrist have grown weak.  He helped flip our mattress and vacuum it. Put fresh sheets on and admired that the bed was made.  

Off to Topeka to eat Lunch and go to appointment.  Afterwards, we had some SOHO coffee and drove the Potwin Place Neighborhood.  Lovely area.  Off to shop.  Ended the day tired and headed HOME to our small community.  Hubby fell asleep in his overstuffed chair.  Watched a little television and off to bed.

Today I am in need of resting up.  Somewhere in here I need to unpack, do some laundry and tidy the Family room.  Will be Babysitting Lil Miss.  She slept in this morning.  Glad she did.  I needed a slow paced morning.

The last three week-ends I have been out of town and away from HOME. Celebrated my sweet Aunt's 90th Birthday one week-end then traveled a ways to see my hospitalized brother.  Had to hide out in a storm shelter due to Tornadoes.  The next week-end, Sister and her family journeyed from Iowa and we got together to celebrate Memorial Day.  Then, one of my favorite Aunts died and we attended her Funeral.  She was 84 when she entered into Heaven.  A very vivacious woman and I so loved her.  Her Funeral Service was very uplifting and one of the best I've been to....if you can say a Funeral was uplifting. She was Methodist, but the officiating Pastor is Mennonite.  He was vibrant.  

The month of June is peppered with Medical appointments.
THYROID HEALTH MONTH for us.  I had hoped that I would weigh less than I did in December.  Not sure this is going to happen.  Sigh.

This week Lil Miss will attend a COOKING CLASS.  Think she will enjoy this.  As for the swimming, the weather is too cool and more rain is suppose to fall this week.  Praying that there are no more Tornadoes.  They have been so destructive.  Awful. 

Hoping we can stay home next week-end.  Hubby will work on our Kitchen.  Ready for more cabinets to be made and put into place, primed and painted.

My goal this week is to get the Parlour Door primed and painted.  My sister hopefully will come to visit in the month of August and I have so many things I hope to get done before she does.  

This is the day that the Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it!

God bless you and may HOME be a HAVEN,
d

Hello, sweet friend. Hope you are resting AND getting lots accomplished. I try to get some work done and then I'm supposed to put my leg up higher than my heart to help keep swelling down so the antibiotic will work on a skin infection. It is so difficult to make myself do it, but I'm trying very hard as I don't want to have to do IV antibiotics in the hospital. So, the house is a mess. Almost all the flowers are planted, but the yard and pasture are pathetic. Take care of yourself!♥♫

It's so easy to get caught up in the busyness of this life isn't it. Praying for you as you face the month ahead.

Hi D, You've had a full couple of days; serious talking sounds very serious. Hubby isn't a talker at all, or very rarely anyway. I hope you have a restful evening.
Hugs, Noreen

You are a busy girl! I understand about needing help to complete some household chores. I was thinking of you the other day because I know that you too have a very large older home. A friend asked, "How on earth do you keep this place clean?" I said simply, "I didn't think I did." :0
It's hard work and some things don't get done like they useta. Those mattresses are huge, aren't they?
Even so, sounds like you had a nice day with the hubby. I visited my oldest sister while in Texas. Hope your visit is also pleasant.

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
