Welcome!





Tis so cold outside the warmth in our HOME is even more welcoming. When you are not able to take the outside cold, then the heat inside is even more attractive.  I still like a blanket across my lap.
  



My heavy coat does help defer the cold when I'm outside walking to the car.  It was COLD.  Noticeably cold.  5 loads of laundry were done yesterday.  5...bingo.  That's a good feeling knowing the laundry is getting done.  The TV at the matt was on a station talking about the Trump Trial coming this week.  It was interesting to listen to as I waited for the loads to finish.  I wonder how this trial well go?  I hope to watch it.  Trump is impeached now a trial.  History in the making.  I remember watching part of the Clinton Trial way back when we lived in Oklahoma in a run down rental we found ourselves living in trying to recover from debt.  Clinton stayed in office.  I wonder if Trump will get to do the same.  

One more big basket full of laundry to do this week then I will wash some bedding and bathroom rugs.  Scrub down the tub and scour the tile floor.  Purchase some new shower curtains and wash the old ones to use in the automobiles when hauling plants, trash, etc.  

This will be nice to be caught up!  So nice.  THEN I will jump in and work on the spare room.  This will take some time.  Probably a February project.  

BUT FIRST!...I've been thinking a great deal about switching the GUEST BEDROOMS.  This hasn't been without time and thought going into it.  

The Victorian furniture would fit better in the other room that has my Husband's Grandparents furniture in it.  I haven't hung any pictures yet.  Thinking I would like to switch the furniture and yet it doesn't just happen with great ease.  The mattresses and boxsprings would have to go as well and they are bulky and weighty.  I can see the rooms in my mind and think it would be a great switch to make, then hang pictures and call it good.  

Still coughing, but not as much.  The DayQuil helps me plus Albuterol which opens the air passages.  I'll continue the Vitamin C.  This has been a long strung out illness since the middle of December.  Resting, but my mind wonders all over the place taking into account all that needs done or wanting done.  This is the part of being ill that needs more discipline.  THE IMAGINATION.  I have been so sick before, the thinking didn't take place.  This isn't the case.  Yes, I am weak, sickly and tired, but the 'ole brain is functioning just fine.


The energy I have today must go into showering then shampooing and conditioning my hair then trim it.  Style and return to my housecoat.  

More laundry tomorrow knowing the outside temps are bitter.  Snow in the forecast for Wednesday.  Better see if I can mustard up some energy to go to SAMs and get some more ICE MELT and go to JUDEE's for fancy coffee at a dollar and a half instead of STARBUCK'S $5 cup.  I like Starbucks, but while we're counting pennies switching from having a regular paycheck to Social Security, the pennies must be watched.




By March, I hope I'm up and running plus we'll be one day closer to SPRING!  Awesome SPRING!!!  Am hoping and praying that this SPRING my feet will be all better and I can return to walking with ease.  Dear LORD, you know my hearts cry.




All the best to you,
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.

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
