Peace At Home






PEACE is needed in my soul.  The quiet time I have contributes to a quiet soul resting alone inside my HOME peacefully sitting to think.  The french door to the screened in porch is open to allow a breeze to drift indoors.  Birds chirping a melody familiar to their peers.  The television remains off.  It's quiet enough to hear a pin drop.  I do drop a thing or two around here.  Clumsy.

I am not wanting the blazing heat waves of Summer as of yet.  We need SPRING for a couple of months where the weather is so pleasant we sink into a stupor of paradise.  It turned so cold early on in SPRING.  Awakened pleasant temps for a short time into SUMMER temps I cannot bare.  Tis May with tornadic storms to cool the atmosphere.  DOROTHY TIME.





Thinking about visiting The Wizard Of Oz Museum in Wamego.  Taking my dear time to read every sign they display and watch the movies along the way.  I haven't taken a SLOW TOUR.  Then onto the State Capitol Building to tour.  It's a lovely building to see.  Off to the Kansas Museum of History.  I have toured all these places in quick mode.  There is a old Topeka Theatre that I want to tour.  Will have to get the directions and then there is the CHARLES CURTIS House which the first Native American Vice President of the United States lived.  Tours on Saturdays.  Would like to see it.



Mid-week.  This month will continue to be busy full of activity.  Will need to rest a great deal.  Think I will pull a ham out of the freezer to begin thawing in the fridge.  With it being Wednesday, I will more than likely slow cook it Friday or Saturday.  There should be lots of leftovers to get us through next week.  

First the baked HAM, then Ham Steaks, Ham sandwiches, onto Egg scrambles with ham chunks in it then Ham and Beans.  Lots of vegetables.  Lots.  A little fruit.  Some dairy.  Giving thanks to God for this HAM. 



SCREEN DOOR: Screen door was purchased last week.  It will need worked over to fill the holes, sanded, primed and painted black then installed.  Shall be a cute addition to our old house.

We continue to work on FIRE RECOVERY.  Slow but steady.  We found an antique Bedroom set that is in our price range.  Making arrangements to have her delivered to our HOME.  I will have to put myself in fast gear this week-end to tidy the bedroom up where the set will go.  The room is cluttered and we will have to make it presentable for the headboard, two side boards, foot board, mattress, box springs, dresser with wash stand.  She will be a nice addition to our HOME.





MILL CREEK ANTIQUES in Paxico, KS.

Good things happen to those who wait.  Not sure who coined that phrase, but I guess it has some truth to it.  After a year and a half of waiting, I got a replacement computer.  She's a jewel.  Glad to have her as I piece together our ESTATE after the house fire.  It takes a long time to get back on your feet after trauma.  



Better close for now.  I could go on and on and on and on.
The sun is shining and I want to get outside before it goes away.

BLESSINGS TO YOU and your HOME.
All the best,
d

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
