SMALL TOWN WOMAN LIVING IN A SMALL COTTAGE

DETERMINED TO GET MY WALK IN BEFORE THE RAINS RETURNED.  It was chilly at 56 degrees with a slight breeze as I walked around the track 3 times.  I'm tired.  More so than I'm comfortable with. Pushed myself, but backed out of walking a forth time around the cushioned track.

I can talk out loud when I am walking by myself.  Praying comes easy and I'm not really alone when I pray.  God is with me.  Always.  He will never leave me or forsake me.   Awesome.

Some young preschool children showed up with an adult to play about the track.  They are so energetic.  It's an inspiration.  I think their teacher was taking advantage of the cooler weather so the children could get some fresh air.

After I finished my little walk, I needed to cool off so we went for a drive about our small community looking at Irises that are in bloom.  Before we left to go to the track, we strolled in our backyard admiring the newly bloomed Irises trying to recall what each one is named.  I tend to not be able to remember their names.  Gotta keep at it.

I cooled off and now will wash up for LUNCH.  SALAD of course.  I'll put come cottage cheese in it and some raspberry vinaigrette.  It should taste wonderful.  RIB EYE STEAK for supper. ummmm.  Lots of Spring Water to drink.  I missed my morning tea so I'll fix a hot chocolate tea after lunch.  I can feel the tireds coming on.  I want to close my eyes and snooze.  Can't be doing that just yet.

I woke around 3 this morning and couldn't fall back asleep so I did some laundry and prayed. Eventually I nodded off and slept.  A thunder storm was off in the distance in which I prayed that it would dissipate.  It did.  

May I have a productive day continuing with laundry, shuffling items out of the Living room, folding sheets, moving small appliances from the Kitchen to the Utility room and cleaning the corner in the Utility room where the sewing machine will go.  What else?  Relocating baking items to the floor to ceiling cabinet in the Kitchen.  That's enough. 

The Kitchen continues to MORPH at my hands.  It will until we remodel and then once again it will morph until I am content where each item goes.

Late night TV took place.  I wanted POPCORN so bad I had to talk to myself and say, you are not hungry.  You are contented and this will pass.  It worked.  DOUBLE FEATURE.  No popcorn, but I was disappointed with one of the movies we watched.

The first movie was good and it kept my attention.  THE JUDGE.  Some language, but the plot was good.


Double feature with LONG SHOT.  I think this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.  There is a push to encourage people to drink alcohol to get drunk, smoke, do illegal drugs, hop into bed with whoever avoiding the real consequences that come from destructive lifestyle like this.  The language was filth.  I need to be quicker and when the  F  BOMB is dropped, turn the movie off. Something that I will deliberately work on.  

More productive television programs are like HOME TOWN where houses are remodeled and updated on a budget.

I need to telephone someone to see if they brought some of their knitted washcloths to their store today.  I visited with her about bringing some to where I could look at them.  These thicker than normal clothes make wonderful wash clothes and dish clothes.  And away I go.

LIVING LARGE IN A SMALL COTTAGE MAKING THE BEST OF IT.

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
