TODAY IS THE DAY




LAST NIGHT, I MOVED QUITE A FEW STORAGE BOXES and stacked them in the upstairs hallway.  Woke with sore fingers this morning and arthritic hands.  Keep moving.  Keep in motion.

As today passes by, I will carefully carry them down the stairs to the Kitchen and stack them, take a breather then carry them to the cars to transport them over to the COTTAGE this evening to unload and repack in the Living room.  I'll need hubby's muscles to help me get this done.  

There they will stay until the storage side of the garage is cleared out.  Muscle racks will go in there and then the Christmas decor will have a place to call HOME again.  Seems like I have moved decorations so many times that I am plum tired of it.  Spank my attitude and get this done without thinking so much about it.  Just do it.


Today is my oldest son's 47th Birthday.  Pause.  Happy Birthday tall guy.  I love you and know that you are a blessing.  





Have a good one.

I have plans of cutting out newspaper articles today and getting them in the mail tomorrow.  I need to get the Father's Day greeting cards in the mail.  I should have done that yesterday, but I was too busy.  It seems that I need to do things far in advance to get everything done these days.  Time passes by so much quicker and I move so much slower.  The two don't seem to be friends.

I found another large box of papers to go through and shred tomorrow.  I'll work on it tomorrow.  

My studies this morning led me to look at Victorian interiors of small houses.  Gathering ideas for the COTTAGE. I simply have too much to have it all in the COTTAGE.  I have to continue to downsize.  Shaking my head and sighing.  This puzzle will come together.  

Company is coming for the Fourth of July so I must get the boxes out of the Victorian room and transfer it all to the COTTAGE so we can accommodate.  This is a great time to get this done.  Praise the Lord, I have a heads up and two weeks to get 'er done.

Will need to have a menu worked up so I can supply our food needs.  Ice-cream, brownies, chips, baked beans, hot dogs, hamburgers, the fixings, water, cereal, eggs, toast, butter, jelly, salads, relish tray, lemonade, cherry lime-aid, iced tea, coffee, creamer, sugar, sweeteners, pie, roast, potatoes, carrots, green beans, fried chicken, beets, deviled eggs, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, keep thinking about it.  


I have a new recipe for Cherry Limeade that I want to try out.  My HOMEMADE LEMONADE is perfect.  These might be nice to have on hand when we have company.  I have the canisters for these beverages.  Okay that's settled.  




CHERRY LIMEADE

Combine 2-liter bottle of lemon-lime soda,
1 cup fresh lime juice,
1 cup sugar,
a 10-ounce jar of maraschino cherries and their juice plus a couple of thin lime slices in a large pitcher stirring well to dissolve the sugar.
Chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Serve in a pitcher or pour into a canister.  

 

Blessings to you and 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.

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
