Beautiful Day
Beautiful day outside with grey sky and rain this Monday. The drizzlin' freeze came early on Saturday and by Sunday afternoon the car windshields were thawed from their ice coating. The roads were clear and I drove to the cottage to work on laundry as it has been neglected. It was still icy cold out. Bundled up in my heavy coat.
While I was over at the cottage, I cleaned out the fridge. Washed the shelves and pullout drawers. Nice and fresh. Stew Juice had made a mess inside my ice box. The glass shelves needed soaked. I worked on this and 7 loads of laundry.
Mercy...it doesn't take long to allow the laundry to pile up when not doing it every day. I have more sheet sets to launder and sweaters. Hopefully I will continue this coming week-end. Still gathering the paperwork together to the new office. After it is gathered, I will spend hours thinning out paper. That's alright as I know a large window of time has to be available for completion.
My Mom will come to visit again this week as she has to have surgery for removing skin cancer off of her nose. Basal cell cancer. Bless her heart. The Guest room she will be staying in will get a once over tonight as I prep for her stay. Fresh towels and sheets are ready for her stay.
Last Friday I ate out with friends. The weather was so cold, but our hearts were warmed by conversation and friendship. There is never a dull moment with these Ladies as the conversation flows. GUSHES to overflowing laughter, sighs and lots of news. No censorship required.
My LUNCH was a Chili's Caribbean Salad. Drank water! After one of these dates, my head spins a little as I rewind all that was said. Much to think on for months.
I'm finishing my valentines to get into the mail today. Some will be personally delivered and some mailed. I need to make a mad dash to Target to get a gift card for one Grandson as his birthday is this week. February is a birthday month for sure as three Grandsons celebrate their special birthdays. Keeps me hopping.
I found out that my Aunt Valera passed early this morning. She was 93. I stand corrected...she was 94. I was wondering if she would live forever as she was one active lady. I am saddened that she will be cremated. sigh. I understand that there will be a viewing allowed then a funeral service before the cremation. She made the best cakes you could imagine. Very talented.
I do believe I earned myself a long afternoon's nap. Rest is needed to face the rest of the day.
God bless,

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
