Where Did You Go?



Peaceful day planned this Sunday as I think about much.  The month of AUGUST came to an end so quickly.  

Days full of activity to where the days flew.  

I've had time to think about rearranging my good dishes.  My BLUE WILLOW dishes are basically all in the two curio cabinets now, but need arranged to better suit me.  Still the Dining room table is covered with missed matched glass items that have to go somewhere other than where they are.  I had hopes to have the Dining room in order by the end of AUGUST, but I didn't make my deadline.  Keep forging ahead.  

This week-end, I hope.

AUGUST held hours of going through boxes and getting more settled into our new location.  

Went back and forth between the Cottage and this new house across the county line.  

Beautiful Living room furniture 
was delivered to our next to empty Living room. 


THANKSGIVING dishes purchased and I'm truly looking forward to using them in AUTUMN.  A trip to Kansas City to drop off upholstery material to help with FIRE RECOVERY toward a couple of old Morris Chairs.  

Still looking for additional fabric for a couple of antique Parlor chairs that need worked over. 



Grandson turned three and we were blessed to be there to help celebrate.  



A SURPRISE Birthday party for our Daughter-in-law turning 40.  



An overnight visit with my Mom.
  
Mustn't forget that school started in August.



The Solar Eclipse took place across the U.S.  



Horrible FLOODING in Texas due to a Hurricane named HARVEY caused devastation for so many.  It will takes months, possibly years to rebuild.  



We celebrated our 43rd Wedding Anniversary as the month ended.  

I was not able to make the long trip out West to see my ill Father-in-law that has stage 4 Lung cancer.  I am HOME resting.

AUGUST ENDED.

On September first my health took a turn and I'll have to make some important medical appointments to see just what is going on in my 'ole body.  Not looking forward to this, but not sure if I can put it off any longer.




SEPTEMBER IS HERE.  The leaves of trees are turning.  Seems early for Autumn.  The neighbor lady by the Cottage had a  wood pumpkin in her flowerbed.  She placed it there weeks ago.  The season is catching up with the decor.  Soon I'll be placing pumpkins about my HOME for seasonal flavor.

I have to work fast at what I am doing as the days pass so quickly as I move so slowly.

The new day will start and I will see what I can get done.

Saying my prayers,

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.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

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
