SLOW GEAR and jOy

WE TOOK A SHORT TRIP TO OKLAHOMA TO SEE FAMILY AND VISIT.  Needed some time away from the MOVE IN.  For three minutes we watched our 14 year old grandson play basketball.  So glad we got to see him in action.  Ate some salty popcorn, drank bottled water cheering him on.  His team won 44 to 10.    

Once we got back to their HOME, I gave him his birthday card and gift, the three boys got some HARVEST CANDY from us and their CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS.

Great visit.  Our Son showed us around the GATHERING PLACE in Tulsa.  Super nice place.  He ran some errands for us and we ate really well.  

BACK HOME AGAIN thinking about cleaning the house for sale as OPEN HOUSE is on Sunday.  ROAD RAGE came in the form of a semitrailer truck that was displeased with me for driving the speed limit.

The truck got very close on my rear end and started honking its horn at me.   Excuse me, I was driving the speed limit.  After several times of doing this, I stood my ground.  He was bullying me.  Once we got into a town where I let him go around because I was in the right lane, Hubby took a picture of his truck tag and rig.  I'll be reporting him.  His rig is so much bigger than my PT CRUISER.  

On the way back into TOPEKA, we stopped off at the HOBBY LOBBY for a couple of Autumn wreaths to buy to hang on the front doors to add some splashes of color for the house's OPEN HOUSE.  50% off.  Great price.  

I'll hang the wreaths on the front doors on Saturday.  Quickly clean the house then come HOME to rest and continue unpacking our moving boxes.  I needed a break from the DOWNSIZING JOURNEY.  It did wonders to visit family and get away from here.

I've been walking.  That's a plus.  Eating nice big salads.

What do you do to make your haven a HOME?  Embrace it and call it my HOME.  Fill the rooms with necessary items and some things that bring jOy.

The Week-end is upon us and I think I'm ready to unwind and put LIFE in slow gear.

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)

I shall not die,
but live, and declare

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

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
