OH HAPPY DAY and READY TO ROLL!!!




I NEATLY STACKED MY STASH OF COMFORTERS AND QUILTS on the Dining room table so I can figure out how to make room for them in the main closet.  I needed to get them off the victorian settee that sits in the pink bedroom as it is going to the she shed.  Storage space is very limited in this COTTAGE.

We have no linen closet.  Burning some brain cells on this one as I'm not sure how to go about this at this point in time.  Very little storage space in the teeny tiny closets here.  We'll be rearranging the VICTORIAN ROOM.  The bedding has been sitting on the small settee for a while now.  So now I have to relocate the pretty bedding.

Grandma's Quilt

I will refold all of the bedding and see if I can get the quilts and comforters to be close in folded width size whether they are for a twin bed or queen.  I have twin, double and queen.  When looking at them now, I have forgotten which ones are which.  oops.  This can be fixed.  

I've got to shuffle some purses and other boxes in the main closet to make room for the bedding.  My boxed wedding dress stored in the closet might fit under the bed freeing up closet space for the bedding.  Not many choices available.

Morning was slightly busy with laundry, dishes and paperwork.  I'll have to shampoo my hair later in the day.  I'd like to curl it.  

TODAY was a very productive day for us as we worked in the storage units.  We wanted to get out before the outdoor temps climbed hotter.  First we unloaded what we're keeping at HOME and was in the trunk of our PT Cruiser other wise known as our pick-up.  Thankful we have this car.  SO Thankful.

Drove over to the local storage unit to clear out some tubs placing them in the back of the car to relocate to a larger unit in a different community.  Drove over there to unload.  Did it in record time.  Hubby needed some supplies from Manhattan for the bathroom so off we went.  I needed to purchase some MAGNESIUM TAURATE which is the best magnesium for combatting higher blood sugar and blood pressure plus anxiety.  

No Magnesium Taurate.  Tried 3 stores.  Not a go.  Checked out Natures Grocers on the computer.  They have some so I will pick some up next time I am in TOPEKA.  

We did some shopping at Menards and drove the slow way HOME.  Very relaxing.  Will take a NAP and then go unload the car, place a load of laundry in and figure what to fix for SUPPER.  I might copy a salad I had last week.  Shredded Romaine Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, dressing and croutons.  Easy peasy and fast.  It will be filling enough.  

It has been a OH HAPPY DAY kind of day.


MOVIE NIGHT.  Last night we watched the movie, TUCKER: The Man and His Dreams (1988) with Jeff Bridges in it.  I remember seeing this movie years ago, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember anything about it except Tucker made some cars.  It was like watching a new movie.  Fairly decent movie that I believe the entire family could watch.  Fairly clean.

What a beautiful car.  This 1948 automobile is valued at about $2,000,000.oo these days if you can find one for sale.  Most of these are in museums so it's still possible to get a peek at one.


...and now to unwind.  TIME FOR A QUIET EVENING IN SMALL TOWN AMERICA,

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
