Gosh Golly Gum

My head is spinning to say the least.  
This month has been a game changer.




APRIL FOOLs DAY...
Cleaned out garage of 9 years of boxes that needed attention.
They've been on hold for so long.
Items taken into house to where house is a c.o.m.p.l.e.t.e.
m.e.s.s.
Difficult to walk through the dining room and the family room.  
It'll take some time to organize.  Like another move.
As we sat in our work jeans and sweat in a horribly messy house...Daughter was on a picnic and got engaged!
The engaged couple came by to show us the ring and make this announcement.
Flint Hills on fire.
Smoke so prevalent that it was coming into our home burning our eyes and causing asthmatic coughing.
Daughter's 36th Birthday.
We were told that there would be no long engagement...Wedding next week.
SAY WHAT? Next week.
Shopped for clothing for her wedding.
Shopped for wedding gift.
Shopped for clothing for wedding.
Shopped for clothing for wedding.
Whirl Wind preparations made for Honeymoon Cottage.
Whirl Wind preparations made for Wedding.
5 o'clock Wedding on a windy day other wise beautiful.
So HAPPY for the couple.
Pray marital blessings for them.
DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN?
Almost like they eloped...it happened so quickly.
She got her ...and then suddenly.
SUDDENLY.
Ate Chinese for supper and can hardly believe my Daughter is married.
Hubby downloaded Wedding pictures.
Babysat Lil Miss.
Went to bed late and got up early at 5:30AM to pack for quick trip to Saint Louis for Grandparents Day at Grandson's school.
Drove the distance arriving early for Grandparents Day at School.
Went to Church, Book Fair, ate delicious ice cream and tour of Grandson's classroom.
Met up with Son, had supper and fell asleep on his sofa.
Watched Grandson's after school activity.
Week-end in St. Louis.
Said our good-byes.  Hugs.
Toured the Campbell House Museum.
Started HOME.
Drove HOME in the rain.
Darkness.
HOME.
Finished up the TAXES.
Started going through more boxes.
What a month.
I'm tired.
Can you blame me?

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
