Rocking The Night Away
GRAND Turns One
When my children turned one, my Folks gave each a rocking chair for their FIRST BIRTHDAY. Continuing the TRADITION I gave my Grand children rocking chairs for their firsts.
This year was VERY challenging to find a child's rocking chair. When furniture stores don't carry them, you know you're in trouble. Hubby and I went to 12 stores between Topeka and Manhattan before a very nice salesman asked me, "You do know where they have them?"
Duh….I simply shook my head no. I'm glad he told me because if I knew I would have gone straight there instead of wearing myself out looking for one. All the gas, miles, time, wear and tear on the auto…I simply would have gone there first thing and saved face. Anywho…not to be snotty.
He told me CRACKER BARREL in Junction. I thanked him and off we went. Drove the distance to find 4 children size rockers on their porch. I learned the hard way that Cracker Barrel also has very nice large ladies clothing that are stylish. Now I know where to go to check for some beautiful threads for large ladies and rockers.
You know when you have to look for a while for a certain gift, the little ones have no idea. They could care less. I started to get shook when we had already been to half a dozen stores and there were no rocking chairs. It was too late in the week to order on line and I didn't want to have one sent to their address without knowing what the rocker looked like first hand without a inspection. I prayed.
We celebrated Babee M's first birthday this summer and it was wonderful to be there first hand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
LOVE YOU VERY MUCH,
Grandma

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.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12

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

What a wonderful little chair! I never would have thought of Cracker Barrel even though they have an army of rocking chairs right by the front door. I think I'll get a few stocking stuffers there, all the old fashioned candy and games. Ugh...may have to throw a fe Nintendo things in there too, though...just to be safe. ;-)
My grandmother gave me a rocker on my 4th birthday and I gave it to our oldest grandson. What a wonderful idea, think I'll find one for my grandbaby who is still small enough to enjoy one ! ( BTW, your grandson is sooooo cute.)
