FAMILY TIME BY SURPRISE

SATURDAY.  We slept in as we stayed up late last night with health issues.  Hubby's heart started acting up.  It took awhile to unwind and fall asleep.  We finally did and no alarm clock was set.

I was still in my pink housecoat when we heard a knock on the door.  Twas my granddaughter with her lil brother and standing behind them was their mom, my daughter.   Very nice surprise.  Lil Dude had water colored a painting for us.  😊It'll go on the fridge. 

We chatted for awhile.  Their plans were changed when the weather changed and they wouldn't be getting any girl time as they had planned.  I knew lil Miss was so looking to her special time with her mom since this is her Senior year of High School.  I suggested that the lil guy could stay with us for a couple of hours while the girls had some mother-daughter time.  Off they went. 

He had been wanting time at PaPA GG's (as he calls us) house.  It all worked out great.  The day before we bought a miniature black truck from Dollar Tree and a small toy car with trailer from MENARD'S.  He's contented playing with these as he watches CURIOUS GEORGE.  He calls it the MONKEY SHOW.  Good thing I like CURIOUS GEORGE as well.  grins.

We splurged for lunch as it had been a loooong time since we treated ourselves to PIZZA.  We ate at HOME.  Pat myself on the back as I ate two pieces.  A salad should have been in here somewhere, but not today.  Supper time we'll have that salad?  Usually we have a huge SALAD on SUNDAY being the main meal for SUNDAY's.  

Salad it will be and I will walk.  I'll push myself and say this is it as a lead up to walking at least 3 times a week.  I'd like to walk in the mornings and in the afternoon if possible.  I think I have to decide to do this fitness thing.

Nice day inside.  Daughter and lil Miss came back from their date and grandson watched Curious George and ate some pizza.  We watched TV for about an hour then returned to the Living room to play with toys.  The girls came back and we chatted.  Our grandson fell asleep by his sister so our daughter visited with us.  Later Lil Miss went for a run and Grandson continued to sleep waking a little grumpy.  He quickly cheered up and Hubby fixed Nachos for supper.  No salad.  oops.  Tomorrow for sure.

I believe we had a great time.  Now to rest for the evening and take a break from a chaotic world.

~Continuation~

SUNDAY.  Beautiful day outside.  Getting ready to take a long afternoon walk in 60 degree weather!!!  Like SPRING.  Awesome.  Topped out at 60.  Did I say AWESOME?  

Hubby worked on the furnace in the cellar and came back exhausted.  He switched out another part.  So THANKFUL he can do such things.  Prayerfully, the heater/furnace will last a while longer.  

I had some Bibb Lettuce with a small amount of Catalina Dressing in a bowl FOR A SNACK.  Instead of popping cookies in my pie hole, I ate lettuce!!!  That's an accomplishment for sure in my changing attitude about snacks.




Bibb lettuce is a small, round, tender, light green butterhead lettuce with a mild flavor. It's named after John Bibb, a Kentucky lawyer and amateur horticulturist who developed the variety in the 1860s. 

I fidgeted in the fridge some.  It seems that the veggies go bad so quickly.
I finally got the paper towels in the boxes of lettuce and spinach.  Turned the boxes
upside down.  Later I tweaked the inside of the fridge 
some more.  A little here
and there, then I make progress.

Table is almost cleared.  I haven't been able to work on it steady.  My hangers are
on the articles in the closet.  The grey plastic hangers that I am not ready to part 
with are neatly stacked in a nice plastic storage box.  The ones I was going
to donate to GOODWILL came HOME with me as the worker taking the
donations told me they would just throw them away.  So I kept them and asked my 
Granddaughter if perhaps she'd like them.  Yep.  So I will get a nice storage tub 
to save them for her when she leaves for college.

Welp, the day is getting away from me and I want to get my walk in so I need to 
close for now and take the sunlight in.

Before I forget...25 days until SPRING!!!  
Glory to God in the most high.

Blessings to you.  
Here's to a healthier lifestyle,

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
