This Is Getting Exciting!

GRANDSON TURNS 11

We were not able to go to our Grandson's week-end Birthday party as we were still run down and coughing from flu.  Today is his birthday.  HUGS.  Air hug.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  and many more.  

We are on the last stretch of FEBRUARY.  MARCH is inching her way on the calendar and I just about can't stand it.  I didn't think January would ever get over for February to take her place, but it happened.  February was horribly cold and full of sadness.  A death and a long running flu.

TODAY, I didn't cough as much.  That helped.  Took a nap.  Still run down.  THIS has been a long drawn out flu.  Gathered some family pictures.  Took it really easy.  Made some business calls.  Sorted through some papers.  Very easy day.  Opened the french doors to let fresh air in for about an hour.  We had left-overs for Supper.  

About 6 PM tonight we kept hearing an airplane circling our neighborhood.  Later we would learn that a shooting took place across Town.  My Husband was craving ice-tea.  We were out of ice so he went to McDonalds for their fresh brewed tea.  When he got home, he told me that he had never seen so many police cars.   

Not all of the details are known, but it appears that there was a car jacking which ended in a shoot out in small town america.  Perhaps there will be more details in a day or so.  A car jacking gone bad.


Too much excitement in a bad way.

MARCH may come in like a lion and go out like a lamb.  We're suppose to have rain tomorrow with lightning which means thunder cannot be far behind.  I hope to get caught back up with the laundry...more paperwork gone through.  Doll room tidied.  Then Lord willing, I will take a serious look at my wardrobe.  Freshen it up with SPRING GOODNESS.

ONE STEP AT A TIME.  I have hopes of shuffling some boxes over at the cottage.  Our tread mill will be set up and I will begin to walk the walk as I talk the talk.  I think I had better have one day a week where I work on FIRE RECOVERY PAPERWORK.  

This is a season of continued downsizing.  Thinning out.  Getting better organized and know what we have.  This may be really boring to many, but it has to be done.  That's that.

God Bless,
d

Yikes! A shooting and carjacking? How scary.
This sickness stuff is awful this year. My husband and I are fine and have avoided it but my parents retirement home is currently quarantined.

Rhonda, I hope you stay well. Many of the hospitals around here have stop taking patients. So ready for Spring. Ready to stop coughing. Just when I think I'm better it comes back.

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
