Cucumbers and Lemons




It's LATE.  Midnight... as I hear distant thunder rumbling in the countryside.  I really want to retire to the bed chamber, but am concerned about the storm that doesn't sound so far off.  Need to check weather.gov.  I had my evening dose of 'CALL THE MIDWIFE' and have just about caught up to where I started watching a few years ago.

Perhaps, I have babies on my mind.  The actresses that pretend they are in labor are doing a supreme job of acting.  The babies will have nice resumes with their first acting job as an infant on a PBS series.  As the wee ones come into the world it is with mixed emotions as the story line unfolds.  Brings back memories when I gave birth.    I don't remember my feet swelling when I was pregnant.  They started when I was in my 40s.  Now....they are swelling once again.  sigh.

There's the rain outside my door with flashes of lightning.  Closer thunder with amplified rumbles.  Not sure if it will blow on by or cause us a restless night.  I got up early and would like to sleep with ease tonight.  I need my rest.  Shall see how this pans out.

This day was very busy for me.  Wasn't HOME much and I did a lot of driving then standing on my feet.  My ankles are swollen so I spent time reading about how to reduce swollen ankles.

Everything from elevating my legs to taking Vitamin B6, soaking in epsom salts, to cold water to taking magnesium with calcium.  I will drink more water during the day and see about magnesium with calcium and Vitamin B6.  Read that Vitamin B1 helps with swollen tissue. Placing cucumber slices on ankles also drinking water with lemon and cucumber.  

It's been awhile since my ankles swelled up.  

This week-end shall be a busy one.  We will move a ton of boxes and start going through them over the week-end.  LORD WILLING.  It will be helpful to go through all the boxes taking note what we still have and making headway placing the items in the appropriate room.

Still waiting for our wood furniture to be returned to us to where items are stored in the correct place.  When this is all said and done....it will be a good work.  HOME.

Right now the pieces are coming together.  I pray that we have success. 

Thank you for visiting today,

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.

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
