SNIPPET

AFTER A HARD WEEK OF WORKING ON THE STORAGE UNITS AND GETTING RID OF STUFF,  today came where we got up early and rumbled into Manhattan for Hubby's physical therapy appointment.  I stayed in the car parked under the shade tree enjoying the weather while he was at the appointment.

I brought some old magazines along with me to thumb through and took some time to redo my hair as I sat in the car.  The weather was really pleasant.  The last few days the weather has been beautiful and I can enjoy it as much as possible.  After a while, I got out of the car and rearranged the back of the car which had two boxes of faux fruit, bottled water and a few groceries.  Trying to make some sense out of it.

Stopped by the bank to buy some $2 bills.  I give $2 bills away to my GRANDCHILDREN for birthdays, Holidays, etc.

We tried something different for breakfast.  Felt like I was on a date.  Hy-Vee has a cafe inside and we get a discount for being SENIORS.  Two eggs, two pieces of bacon and two pancakes. Sipped on water.  We can afford a discounted meal from here and have plans of eating here more often.  

I picked up some oatmeal, chicken broth and Kalamata Olives.

We needed to renew our memberships to the Recreational Center while in town then went to Menards for chemicals to kill chiggers.  Being in the yard over the week-end, the chiggers dined on us. 

We stopped off at the storage unit to check up on things then found ourselves back HOME where I took a three hour NAP.  Worked on dishes and laundry afterwards.  Watched on YOUTUBE the program OFF GRID WITH DOUG AND STACY.  7PM on Monday nights.  They are HOMESTEADERS and ever once in a while Doug voices his voice about politics and current events with a different spin on things.  Hey you all.

Watched the 1984 movie PLACES IN THE HEART with Sally Fields.  Great movie about a widowed woman left to raise two children and save her property during the Depression Era.  It's is one of the best movies.  A plus. 


A VERY GOOD DAY and I feel like we are getting a lot done toward our ongoing project of DOWNSIZING.

Today will be another very full day and away I go,

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
