Envious
On my bucket list of things to do while I still have breath in me....learn to can, make jelly, have huge food pantry full of goodness.
To think that this picture is beautiful is saying I am envious of such goodness in a pantry. I would like to imitate this. Functional and practical. My pantry isn't as large as this one. Working on increasing the food pantry.
After we have gone to the store and restocked our supply, I usually am contented that there is food on the shelves. Contented.
Much of the time the cans expire and I have to throw out the goods. It is rather funny to see some of the dates printed on the cans because 2002 was a ways back there in the time tunnel. I don't suppose the shelf life was this extended. On the other hand items canned in glass have a much better chance of still being good.
Hubby came HOME early today as it is spitting drizzle and freezing. We were placed in a WINTER ADVISORY zone where schools were not being held and activities are cancelled. A joy in staying inside on such a bitter cold day is being HOME where it's warm and safe.
COLD WEATHER MONTHS are still here and I have plenty to keep me busy inside. Thankful I am inside.
I unpacked some beautiful glasses that I transferred from the COTTAGE to our Prairie HOME and placed in the Dining room corner cabinet. Ham in the crockpot. I have plans of writing out bills and shuffling more paper at the Dining room table. Clearing off the shelves of a metal rack presently in the KITCHEN.
Hope to organize the food and place onto another shelving unit.
Today will be wonderful as I can stay HOME. Stay warm.
HOME LIFE is for 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.
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
SO
TEACH us
to number OUR days,
that we may apply our HEARTS

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

I love that picture of the well stocked pantry of home canned food. I would also like to learn to do that!
Stay warm!
I stumbled upon your blog just today and I plan to stay here and visit for awhile. I have always wanted to blog but thought I was too old once I reached 60. I'm thinking you must be pretty close and I LOVE yours and all the things you do. I may just try after all.
God bless,
Helen
So glad you are visiting.
Helen, Glad you stopped by and found me. I'm 63 and when I started to blog I was completely numb as to know what to do. Little by little I learned and have really enjoyed blogging.
All the best,
