THE WEEK IS OFF AND RUNNING and SMOOTHIES TO MAKE

IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE A VERY PRODUCTIVE, ENERGETIC DAY with the next day having nothing to give.  Had one of those days so I did a little laundry and rested. Kaputzski.  

I stayed indoors all day.  Didn't even poke my head outside to say BOO!👻

Stayed in my comfy housecoat looking like a fright.  Took a NAP.  Researched a great deal. Phoned my Mom and Sis.  Going to watch a movie.  Looked over the bills.  Figured what to do this week to come.  In a nutshell, I did very little.  

This past week was the 17th anniversary of our daughter and baby granddaughter coming to live with us after her husband abandoned them.  It doesn't seem possible that this much time has passed, but sure enough it has been 17 years.  It was a difficult time that passed turning into a much better life for the girls.  Praise God.  Praise God.

Here I sit in our tiny COTTAGE 17 years older.  Much has happened.  TIME to move on and live in the present.


On Saturday, we journeyed to a Cross Country Meet watching our Granddaughter win first place.  Excited for her win.  It was a difficult course of endurance.  She did very well.  

Exciting win.  Beautiful day for a run.  

Walking some of the course dirtied my shoes like never before.  The dust was a gray film that I'd wipe off later. 

Guess we need rain.



Cryptic notes.
THE WEEK IS OFF AND RUNNING.  HOT CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST.  
Plans of going to TOPEKA to get Hubby's phone fixed are in order.  Gotta write out some bills and place them in the mail.  
Of course more laundry and some things need placed in order.  Eating well and watching the sun rise and set.  

Hubby is still working on hooking the tub up.  Water pipes being dealt with.  Soon, very soon, a soaking bath will happen.  PTL.  I will stand in the bathroom in awe that this is ready to go when it takes place.

Believe I would benefit from making delicious, nutritious SMOOTHIES.  Gathering some recipes and getting the ingredients lined up.  For the greens I'll use cucumbers, celery, kale, spinach. Fruits will be blueberries, apple, pineapple, strawberries.  Whatever I have on hand. ✋


HAVE TO CUT STEMS OFF THE COLEUS ON THE PORCH FOR WINTERING.  Running out of time.  A frost will come and it will finish off my beautiful coleus.  I'd hate to lose them.

Our Presidential election is fast approaching.  The excitement just about cannot be contained. Predictions abound.  Pretty sure each voter already knows who they will VOTE for.  In 20 years, if I am so blessed to still be alive, I wonder how I will feel about this time in history.

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
